De Valera Sorry Wilson
Wns Kissed at Meeting

CHICAGO, July II. - Eamon de
Valera, president of the Irish Repub-
lic," arrived in Chicago to-day, accom-
panied by former Governor Edward F.
Dunno and Frank P. Walsh, who were
sent abroad by Irish organizations to
endeavor to obtain recognition for Ire
land at the peace conference. A large
crowd welcomed the Irish leader He
will remain here three days to arouse
interest in the claims of Ireland be-
fore going to San Francisco.
Mr.. De Valera, after expressing de-
light at the cordiality Of his reception,
said he did not approve the kissing of
the Presidents name at the recent New
York mass meeting.
In an address at luncheon given in
his honor he reverted to the New York
incident, saying:
II would be deeply humiliated if my
presence here in your country and my
advocacy of the just and reasonable
claims Of the Irish people should be
made the occasion of any demonsfra-
tions of hostility to your President.
He is your President, and whilst as
Americans you have had q right, no
doubt, to criticise, you will forgive me
for saying | feel it is not in good taste
before a stranger. I am here to get
the aid of all lovers of liberty in Amer
ica, and they embrace all sections.
Those who would identify US with any
sections and those who act unworthily
of what Is holy cause are, even
though it be unconsciously, the worst
enemies of Ireland"

5 Ticket Spectators
Arrested by U. S. Agents

Internal Revenue agents went forth
last night to arrest about forty theatre
ticket spectators to confirm their
suspicion that in many instances such
dealers were not turning into the gov
ernment the full amount of the war
tax. Rumors of their approach spread
before them and they arrested only
five men, who were held in slOo bail
each by United States Commissioners
Hitchcock for examination Saturday.
Those arrested are Leo Newman, OF
the Newman Ticket Office, 1882 Broad
way; Charles Levy and Alec Jones,
Of 218 West Forty-second Street;
David A. Warfeld, Of PIP West Forty
second Street and Louis Cohen. Cohen
is alleged to have obtained as high as
$3.50 for So ticket. In such trans
action the war tax would be 65 per
cent, according to the Internal
Revenue agents.
The charge against the prisoners
Ioes not include defrauding the gov
ernment, however. They are accused
OF selling tickets, which had not beer
stamped as the law provides with the
price and the Aame Of the vender.

OF Teut0nRing
Aid L. S. Reds
Lusk Investigators Find Evi.
dence That Money Col
lected for German Cause
Is Spent for Bolshevism

Evidence indicating that the skilled
Teutonic propaganda ring organized
in this country by Count Won Bernstorff
is now operating with the Bolshevik
agitators, preaching the Soviet doc
trnes of Lenine and Trotzky, has been
gathered by the Investigators of the
Lusk legislative committee. 1t has
been discovered, according to these
detectives, that part of the huge Ger
man fund that disappeared when Won
Bernstorff left this country is gradu-
ally returning through mysterious
channels and being turned over to the
Bolsheviki Just how much Of this
money has been sent back here from
Central and South America could not
be asce rtained last night.
When Won Bernstorff left this coun-
try, shortly before war was declared,
it was learned by the Secret Service
that he had sent millions collected
in this country for the German war
loans to the consular officials of his
country in Central and South America
1t is this money that the investigators
now. believe is being sent back to
=,
all the German money was not sent
out of the country at that time, and
some Of this Is being used to further
| the cause of Bolshevism.
What first led the investigators to
look into this phase of Bolshevik ac-
tivities was the discovery that the
pacifists and I. W. w. agitators who
worked for Germany under the direc-
ton of Captains Won Papen and Boy
Ed were leaders in the dissemination
Of Bolshevik propaganda. The COM
mittee at this time declines to dis
close the names oil any of the sus-
| poets, explaining that their cases will
| be made the subject of grand jury in
vestigations in various parts Of the
state.
1t WAS also explained last night that
instructions have been given to ac-
quaint the authorities Of neighboring
states with. ali facts developed at the
| investigation that might warrant prose-
cutions in other states.
| The Investigators have long lists of
the names Of those backing the Boil
shcyik programme. The Tribune was
| informed by reliable official last
| night that many Of the promine mt
Americans who have been mentioned in
various German Investigations are aid
ing the Russian agitators. This man
intimatcd that legal action will be
taken against these men without tho
matter being brought up at hearings of
the Lusk committee.
The committee will hold hearings
! here on Thursday and Friday and move
up 70 Schenectady the following week.

LONDON, July 12-Commander
Scott of the R-34 acknowledged this
afternoon receipt of instructions from
the Air Ministry directing him to land
at Pulham, instead of trying to go
back to the starting point at East For
tune, Scotland. The change was de-
termined on because of unsettled
weather in Scotland
Though alarmed by the heavy rain
that has been falling here all day and
the attendant fog which rising winds
have blown in from the sea, the Air
Ministry is rather anxious for the
safety Of the dirigible Fortunately
the direction Of the wind still favors
the R-34, and she is making good
progress. Following the breakdown Of
one Of her engines. two reserve engines
in the rear of the ship were put into
use, Commander Scott reported, and
although the dirigible is thus handi-
capped, the Air Ministry is confident
that it's skipper will bring it safely in.
to port.
The plan for q welcome home ceie-
bration in London when it was ex-
pected that the dirigibie would en-
circle the city amid the glare of
sesrchlights, has been abandoned,
owing to the lateness of the probable
hour of arrival.
The R-33 had planned to meet her
sister ship out at sea and escort her
back, but owing to the unsettled
weather conditions she, remained in
her shed.
If repairs on the engines Of the
R-34 can be completed in time, It is
expected now that the dirigible will
be He'd upon to take part in the
peace manoeuvres planned for next
Saturday. A public reception for the
