UNDER ARREST
PRESIDENT, FOUNDER, MEM
BER OF PARLIAMENT
ARRESTED.
FOUGHT CONSCR|PT|ON
Those in Custody Include Countess
Markievicz, Prof. De Valera and
William Cosgrove, Three Who
Were Sentenced to Death in 1914.

London, May lS.-Prof. Edward
de Valera, president of the Sim
Fein; Arthur Griffith, founder OF
the Sim Fein; Countess Markie-
vicz, Doctor Dillon and William
Cosgrave, Sim Fein member OF
parliment for Kilkenny, have been
arrested, according to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Dublin.
Professor de Valera, William Cos
grave and Countess Markievicz all
were arrested for the part they
PLAYED in the Sim Fein revolt in
Dublin in Easter week of 1915, when
the short-lived Irish republic came
into being. All were sentenced to
death, but this was committed later
to life Imprisonment. After several
months in prison all were released,
Plotted Rebellion.
Prof. de Valera was elected mem
Der OF parliament for East Clare
last July, and in October. Premier
Llovd George announced in the
house of commons that De Valera
was plotting to bring about a new
Irish rebellion few days before De
Valera was elected president of the
Sim Fein.
Since the passage OF the Irish
conscription bill, De Valera has been
very active working against it, and
has had many conferences with
ohm Dillon.
William Cosgrave was elected
member OF parliament for Kilkenny
in August. In speech several days
later he said the Irish would fight
Irish domination. On May he was
selected to accompany the lord
mayor of Dublin on his proposed
visit to the United States in con-
nection with the anti-conscription
campaign in Ireland.
The Fiery Countess.
One of the most prominent hg-
ures in the Dublin revolt in 1915 was
Countess Georgina Markievicz. She
led Il part of the Sim Fein forces
and was reported to have person
ally killed a guard in an effort to
capture Dublin castle. She returned
to Dublin last July. Last December
81, two doys were arrested while car
rying high explosives from Scotland
to Ireland. They were reported to
be members of boy scout organi-
zation headed by Countess Markie-
vicz.
Arthur Griffith has aided the Sim
Fein by his pen and counsels more
than by active leadership. He took
no part in the fighting OF Easter
week and at various times has been
in conflict with De Valera, who is
OF a more fanatical type. De Va
lera was born in New York City OF
a Spanish father and an Irish moth
er.

Toxic, May l4.-(Tuesday) The
progress of the cooperative agree
ment between Japan and China has
been halted temporarily by rivalry
between the northern and southern
factions in China, which is leading
to a distortion of some Of the

Chinese students in Japan contin-
tie to return to China, protesting
that pending an agreement or dis
agreement they are liable to preju-

May Calm Agitation.
The memorandum sent to student
principals by Baron Goto, the Jap
anese foreign minister, saying that
the negotiations concern military
action against Germany in case OF
necessity. is calculated to calm the
agitation. 1t is expected to empha
size the fact that German influence
is growing in hsiatic Russia, making
it imperative for Japan and China
to form a plan for common defense.
The military negotiations with
China. it is declared. are based only
on this principle, and have no other
aims. All other alleged agreements,
ii is asserted. are fabricatiOns.
The Nichi Nichi says that the stu
dent agitation has been instigated by
German spies, and is designed to es-
TRANCE Japan and China.

PROCLAMATION IS ISSUED
Calls for Drastic Measures to Put

(Bv the Associated Press).

Dublin, Nav lS.-The Times to-
day says the government has not
acted a moment too soon, as all the
signs pointed TO another outbreak
of armed violence possibly in con-
nection with the landing OF German
troops on Irish shores.
London. MAY lS.-Ireland and
Irish affairs again have come to the
fore. Discovery of German plot
involving certain persons in Ireland
was announced last night in Dublin
bv the issuance of a proclamation
signed bv Edward Short, chief sec
retary for Ireland in the name OF
the lord lieutenant, Niscount
French.
The proclamation asserts that
British subjects resident in Ireland
have entered into reasonable com
munication with the enemy, and
calls for drastic measures to put
down the Irish plot.
Voluntary recruiting is urged in
order that compulsion may be
avoided and that the Irish may as
sist in putting down the conspiracy.
Communication with Dublin is
slow, but dispatch to The Times
says that large number OF persons
already have been arrested IN Dub
lin and other parts of ireland.
German Activity.
The number OF Irish in co-opera-
ton with the enemy is said to be
very small. There have been va
rious hints recently of German ac-
tivitv in the Sim Fein ranks, and
there has been no full explanations
of recent arrests. including that OF
man who landed on the Irish
coast from a German submarine III
4 collapsible boat.
The reference to voluntary enlist
ment in the proclamation appears to
confirm predictions that the govern
ment has changed its policy con
cerning conscription in Ireland, ow-
ing to Nationalist and Sim Fein op-
position. \ report became current
in ireland Friday that the govern
ment contemplated launching re-
cruiting scheme on the lines of that
formerly conducted by the Earl OF
Derby in England.
Discussed Widely.
1t gained much prominence IN
Ireland newspapers and was discuss
ed widely. However. a Dublin dis
patch to The Daily News says the
report met only with ridicule. The
dispatch adds:
THE atmosphere is completely
unstable aud it is doubtful il 4 single
public man with real influence could
be found to back TO scheme "
Another report to the effect that
number of prominent lrishmen
have submitted to Premier Lloyd
George request to appoint Cen
eral Sir BRYAN Mahon, who has just
relinquished the military command
in Ireland. director of recruiting IN
Ireland. General Mahon IS popular
with large classes OF lrishmen. by
whom he is regarded as having very
active sympathies. but whether the
appointment would have practical
results can only be speculated upon.
According TO one view. the general
could only succeed If the govern
ment gave Ireland home rule par
lament.

Fair weather during the last few
DAYS and a great increase in aerial
ACTIVITY have not yet resulted in
renewal of heavy infantry fighting.
The artillery duels go on most vlo-
lcntly on important sectors, but
neither the German infantry nor ar
tillery displays the activity whica
usually marks the coming of blow
against the allied lines.
The enemy, it is believed in Lon

feet on the British and French, and
the longer the Germans delay the
greater will American aid become.
Aerial activity is the most promi-
nent feature OF the news from the
fighting zones. French and British
airmen have dropped many more
tons of explosives on enemy artil-
!erv targets while the German air
men are becoming more active in
attempts to get behind the allied
lines.
