Government Secret Service Men Un
earth Scheme for Revolution in Ire
land—Germans and Irishmen in
United States Active in Matter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—
Government secret service men have
unearthed evidence of plotting be
tween German and Irish agents in
the United States for the purpose of
creating a revolution in Ireland. The
evidence gained by the Un'ted States
government agents is partly respon
sible for the recent arrest of Irish
leaders in Ireland, at the hands of the
British authorities. The evidence se
cured by the secret service men may
be made public in the near future. It
is understood that it proves conclu
sively that Irish leaders, mainly Sinn
Fein sympathizers, in the United
States, have been in touch with Ger
man representatives; that the Ger
man agents agreed to supply the
money to finance an uprising in Ire
land and possibly send arms and am
munition to Irelond on German sub
marines or blockade runners. The
sending of German soldiers to Ire
land was favorably discussed between
Irish and German agents, it is said.*.
The uprising in Ireland, it is stat
ed, was planned to take place at the
time the German troops expected to
reach the French channel ports in
the drive started March 21. It was
figured that a big German victory
would throw England into confusion
and an opportune, time for the Irish
revolution would thus be afforded
The failure of the Germans to reach
the channel ports and the activity of
the American secret service men
have effectually foiled the deep-laid
plot that had for its object the inde
pendence of Ireland.

T. Boyles, cf Anchorage, indicted on
