U. S. Broke Communications.
after Americas entrance into the
war in April 1917 the line OF COM
municaton between the German gov
crnmcnt and the leaders Of the Sim
Fem party was broken temporarily,
though there was no reason to believe
the messenger service between America
and Ireland, devised by John Dewey,
was effective.
"Thc new line Of communication was
obtained subsequently and has been
followed mp actively The effect Of
this new line in Ireland is visible in
the speeches of the Sim Fcin leaders
during this period.
De Valera Hoped for InvasionS
For example, Professor De Valera,
addressing the convention OF the Irish
volunteers on Oct H., 1917, said
By proper organization and re-
cruitlng we could have 100000
fighting volunteers in Ireland. That
would be a big army but without
the opportunity an means for
fighting it could only he used asa
menace There already has been
too much bloodshcd without sue
cess, and | would never advocate
another rebellion without hopeful
chances OF success. We can see
no hope OF that in the near future,
except that through a German in
vasion Of England and the land
ing OF troops and munitions in
Ireland We should be prepared
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-05-25

to leave nothing undone toward
that end
"On another occasion in January OF
this year De Valera said:
"'AS long as Germany is the enc
my OF England and England is the
enemy OF Ireland, so long will Ire
land be a friend OF Germany
Real Plot Found Recently.
"For some considerable time il was
difficult TO obtain accurate information
as to Gcrman-Sinn Fcin plans but
about April, 1918, it was ascertaned
definitely that a plan for the landing
OF arms in Ireland was ripe for execu-
tlon and that the Germans only await
ed definite information from Ireland
as to the time and place and date.
"The British Investigators were able
TO warn the Irish command regarding
the probable landing OF an agent OF
Germany on a submarine The agent
actually landed on April u and was
arrested.
The new rising depended largely on
the landing OF munitions from subma-
rines and there IS evidence 10 show
that il was planned 10 follow a sue
Cessiul German offensive I'm the west
and was TO take place at time when
Great Britain presumably would be
stripped OF troops.
Hun Munitions Shipped.
According to documents found on
his person, De Valera had worked out
in great detail the execution OF his
rebel army He hoped TO he able TO
muster 100000 trained men. There Is
evidence that German munitions actual
ly had been shipped on submarines
from Cuxhaven in the beginning Of
MAY and that for some time German
submarines have been busy oil the west
coast Dt Ireland on other errands than
the destruction OF allied shipping.
at will thus be seen that the ncgo-
tiations between the executives of Sim
Fein organization and Germany have
been virtually continuous for three and
a hall years
1917 Uprising Failed.
AT first a section Of Irish-Ameri-
cans was the Intermediary for most
ot the discussions, but since Americas
entrance into the war, communication
with the enemy has tended TO be more
direct A second rising in Ireland was
planned for last year and the scheme
broke down only because Germany was
unable to send troops.
"This year plans for another rising
in connection with the German often
,iye on the western front were maturing
and a new shipment ii arms from Ger
many was imminent. An important
feature Of every plan was the estab-
lishmcnt of submarine bases in Ireland
to menace the shipping OF all nations

was open to the government if useless
bloodshed was to be avoided and its
duty to its allies fulfilled, but to intern

It's Papa Allemand now. Oh, yes,
he condescends to. speak to his old
friends; he can afford to be magnani-
nous. Besides, he wants to tell them
about his son and heir-it looks just
like its dad-that's all necessary to be
said.
Is it a boy? Sure it is. Mr.. Ale
mand did not desire daughter. He
thinks girl babies are very nice for
other folk, but it's boys for him.
We live right across the street from
the Allemands, but never suspected
there was stork coming there
neither did any one of their friends.
Mrs. Allemand attended the picture
show last evening, and the baby ar
rived soon after she returned home.
When we were informed by the
proud father this morning of this mo-
mentous event we demanded proof be-
fore we would believe him. DR.. Doug

now announce it as an absolute fact

ever, placed it beyond opening except
by force by battering the combination.
A postoffice Inspector lis here tonight
and will force the safe in the morning.
The regular money order business
of the help of the big hotels here
swelled the total of cash on hand and
it is feared the cash loss was great,
besides personal property of the post
mistress, Mrs. Ellen r. McKenna, who
is in Tampa. She had some war saw
ings stamps, liberty bonds and other
assets in one of the safes.
The yeggs made their advent and
departure in an automobile, and left
behind only one clue, drill, so far as
is known now.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-02-13

Experienced yeggmen blew two of
the three safes in the Palm Beach
postoffice early yesterday morning and
got away with loot, cash and stamps,
liberty bonds, checks and war savings
stamps to an estimated value of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, according to
a wire received yesterday morning by
postmistress Ellen R. McKenna, who
is in Tampa in attendance upon Fed
eral court. She wired the postoffice
inspectors headquarters at Atlanta
Immediately and last night an inspec-
tor was at Palm Beach on the trail of
the culprits, who, it is understood,
made their getaway in an automobile.
Following closely, as it does, upon the
looting of the Lake Helen postoffice,
which also was remarkably "clean"
job, leads authorities to believe that
the same gang attended to both jobs.
Among the loot, according to Mrs.
McKenna, it is believed, was a 500
liberty bond the serial number of
which she does not remember; three
$500 checks made out by her to other
parties; one check for $3.50 made to
her by her husband, J.. P. McKenna,
and several hundred dollars worth of
war savings stamps, all her personal
property. Other loot consisted of
postage stamps, thrift and war saw
ings stamps, and cash.
The latter item, it is believed, was
considerable, unless the one safe the
bandits did not get into happened to
be the one in which the money order
cash was kept, as the help at the big
hotels at Palm Beach were paid off
Saturday night and took the first OPP
portunity Monday morning to send
weekly allowances home to relatives
by postofice money order. The re-
ceipts from this source at the Office
run well into the thousands every
Monday, it is said.

Kindly Xviii Kussin' =

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. Kindly
Kwit Kussin." This lis the slogan,
spelled in whimsical fashion, which
the Army and Navy Y M. C. A. huts
throughout the Southeastern military
department are adopting to minimize
profanity among our soldiers and sail
ors.
sTo swear like trooper" or sail
orr heretofore has been featured as
the phrase in highest praise of the
proficient "profanatic"-but no longer.
The likening is obsolete, for according
to Religious Work Director w. R.
Dobyns of Camp Gordon:
LESS cussing is heard in the train
ing camps today than on our city
streets. The clean lives the men are
leading are productive of clean
speech"
The Army and Navy YIN. c. A. is
doing its share to keep the thoughts
of the soldiers clean with its program
of physical and social activities, en-
tertainments, educational classes and
religious services. Many printed
phrases displayed conspicuously in the
Red Triangle huts serve as constant
reminders to the men of the objection
able character of profanity. One of
these reads:
eff you curse at home, curse here.
We want you to feel at home"
They get good results, as the adj
vertising man says. Recently a sol
der at one of the writing benches in
a hut spewed forth a mouthful of
oaths which was overheard by uni
formed secretary.
Gust put 'em in letter to your
mother sometime" suggested the uni
formed secretary. A few days later
the enlisted man laid neatly written
letter before the secretary with the
statement:
That's to my mother-the first let
ter I've writssa asr1 in seven years
The hint you gave me the other day
made me realize my duty towards her
land I've decided to cut out the cuss-
in, too"

Pinellas Patriotic Pageant
Banquet to Governor Cats

The banquet in honor of Governor
Cats who is coming to Tarpon
Springs on Feb. 81, to participate in
the Patriotic Pageant, will be held at
the Tarpon Inn on the evening of Feb.
81. Dinner will be served at 8 p. m.
The committee in charge of the ban
quet arrangements promise that this
will be the greatest event that has
ever taken place in Tarpon Springs.
There will be music, and speeches by
men prominent in business and politi-
cal life of Pinellas county and no one
can afford to miss the treat the COM
mittee has planned for that evening.
The cost of the dinner will be $3.50
per plate, and as it is necessary for
the committee to know approximate
ly how many will be present on or be-
fore the 18th Of February, everyone is
urged to reserve their table before
that date.
Each town in Pinellas county will
have representative on the banquet
committee, whose name will be an
nounced later, and this representative
will be supplied with cards which may
be signed by the person desiring to
attend the dinner and specifying the
number in his party, which cards can
be returned to the representative or
mailed direct to the Tarpon Inn.

Geneva, Jan. Especial Core
spondence of the Slav Press Bureau
Up to very recent times the Mag
var government of Hungary has sue
ceeded in keeping its war aims pretty
well camoufaged. In the entente coun-
tries it was generally believed that all
of the annexationalists of the dual
monarchy came from Austria, and
that the Hungarians were more than
anxious to conclude peace on the basis
of mo annexations, no indemnities, !"
or on the basis of the status quo ante.
What the STATESMEN of Hungary
meant by these general phrases is
gradually becoming known. The fol-
lowing quotations taken from some of
the leading newspapers of Hungary
will shed considerable light on the sit
uation.
Several days ago Count Tisza's or
gan, the Budapest Hirlap," wrote as
follows:
eve want 1900 square kilometefs
of Roumania and 1000 square kilo-
meters of Serbian territory: that is
ours"
In the Magyar Hirlap of December
2 Count julius Andrassy wrote the
following article:
More than once I have already de-
clsred that in foreign affairs I am no
friend of the idea that we should COM
NIT ourselves to a principle, and es-
pecially not at time when the gov
lernments are about to negotiate peace.
At such times it is most advantageous
to have an entirely free hand. The po-
sition of a card player who must
spread out his cards on the table is
very weak indeed, as against a player
who is in the habit of keeping the
value Of his cards secret. AS I have
already said a number of times, I dis
approve the view that we have nc
right to make conquests and to de-
mand indemnities for the enormous
sacrifices that we had to bring in this
war. Neither did our enemies bind
their hands-under such conditions We
have a moral right to make conquests
and to demand indemnities. 1t all de-
