SECURED IN THIS COUNTRY
Evidence of a German-Irish Plot Re.

Washington, May 22.-For many
months, 1t is now revealed, United
States government agents have been
inside the counsels of the Irish in
this country, who plotted armed In
surrection of Irish citizens against
British rule, and have discovered con.
elusive Evidence that German money
and promises of aid stimulated the
conspirators as means of diverting
the British government from its war
task in France. Difect action to stop
the intrigue was thought not advis-
able, inasmuch as the government
did not wish to NEEDLE in domestic
problems Of the British empire, but
the information gathered was turned
over In some cases to British repre-
sentatives, and 1t is understood that
the recent arrest of a number of Irish
Sim Fein leaders was prompted part

A compulsory labor law comforting

Representative Gambler of Missis-

FIRST AMERICAN HELD ARMY
II Has Been Formed In France and

of two, army corps of three divisions
each with Colonel A. w. Bjornstad as

the size of Haigs forces now facing

CHINtSt-JAPANESf PACT
Provides For Intervention In Siberia
When Necessary.

Washington, May 22.-While still
unable to obtain the text of the
Japanese-Chinese defensive agree
ment, American Minister Reinsch, at
Pekin, reported to the state depart
ment that the plan of defense is
Operative" now, but will be "effec-
tive only in case Intervention in
Siberia or strong military measures
In Manchuria are necessary.
This was explained as meaning
that Japan and China are now
taking steps to protect themselves,
but that the agreement will be put
into effect only If military steps are
needed. This apparently indicates
that Japan is still, intending to re-
frain from intervention in Siberia,
but that she Is making every neces-
sary military arrangement for such a
course If she or the allies later de-
eide 1t is essential.

the Senate after being stripped OF ian

gan and that statement of results
