Discovery of Plot
Told in EdiCt

LONDON, MAY l8-lreland and
Irish affairs have again come to the
fore
Discovery of a German plot. involv.
ing certain persons in ireland was an
nounced last night in Dublin by the
issuance of a proclamation signed by
Edward Shortt, chief secretary for Ire
land IN the name OF the lord lieutenant,
Niscount French The proclamation as
sertS that British subjects resident in
Ireland have entered into reasonable
communication with the enemy and calls
for drastic measures TO put down the
German plot Voluntary recruiting is
urged in order that compulsion may he
avoided and that the Irish may assist
IN putting down the conspiracy.
Number of Irish Small.
The number of Irish in cooperation
with the enemy is said TO be very small.
There have been various hints recently
OF German activity in the Sim Fein
ranks and there has been no full ex-
PLANTATION Of recent arrests including
that Of a man who landed on the Irish
coast from a German submarine in a
collapsible boat.
The reference TO voluntary enlistment
in the proclamation appears to confirm
predictions that the government has
changed its policy concerning eonscrip-
ton in Ireland owing to Nationalist and
Sim Fen opposition.
Recruiting Scheme Planned
A report became current in Ireland
Friday that the government contem-
plated launching a recruiting scheme
on the lines Of that formerly conducted
by the Earl of Derby in England. II
gained much prominence in Irish news
papers and was discussed widely. How.
ever, a Dublin dispatch to the Daily
News says the report met only with
ridicule The dispatch adds
The atmosphere is completely un-
stable and il is doubtful IL single pub
lie man with real influence could he
found to back the scheme"

extent. A line of machine guns in pits
hidden by brush had been prepared and
in the rear, hidden by many weeds, they

American artillery fire caught hundreds

One American corps had identified

The Germans soon may be ordered to a

of mustard gas fired by the Americans,
while the fields and woods are masses

The importance OF the operation the
Americans are carrying on Is evident by
a glance at the map. One or two of the

A good grade of grating wax may
be made as follows: Resin four parts
by weight, beeswax two parts by
weight. beef tallow one part by weight.
The ingredients should be melted to-
gether but not boiled. AS soon as they
are all melted stir thoroughly and pour
into tub Of tepid water. Grease the
hands with tallow and work the pass
under water In such a way that II will
cool evenly throughout. When tough
remove from the water and pull like
cahdy until II becomes a light straw
color. Make into sticks about an inch
in diameter, wrap in oiled paper and
lay aside until wanted.
To use, simply warm by holding In
the hands or by working II under tepid
water. II will keep indefinitely. II
the wax is lumpy 1t is because 1t was
boiled or because IL was cooled too
quickly. Lumpy wax may be improved
by heating slowly preferably In a
double boiler or glue poD until 1t is
completely melted and then repeat as
before.

TREATMENT OF KICKING cow

Care and patience will cure the

end of 1t around the body of the COW
and draw 1t tight. The cow will usu-
ally jump at first, but when she finds
she cannot get out Of the rope she
will stand still. II this method causes
the cow to give bloody milk, place the
rope or strap behind the udder. and
draw 1t tight as before.
Another method is to hobble the
cow by passing the rope around each
leg behind the udder, and tying just
above the hooks. This method is
dangerous one, however, for the per-
SON tying the rope. After these meth
DDS have been repeated a few times
