GERMAN PLOT IN IRELAND.

Prominent Slon Felaners Arrested.

London, May 18." The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in a papelsination nonounces that a German plot has been discovered in Ireland and calls upon all loyal subjects to help in crushing the conspiracy."

"

Mr. Shortt, Chief Secretary for Ireland, authorises a *statement that messures for which he will act in full re- sponsibility with the Lord Lieutenant are directed solely against dangerous German intrigue with the Irish-The- "Government" are fully aware that the number of Irishmen ` and Irishwomen who are 'actively co-operating with the German enemy is very small but many of them might un- knowingly become involved and they believe therefore they can rely upon the support of the Irish without regard to Greed or political views in the measures they have taken. The Irish Government is determined to take every necessary step to stamp out this German plot. The arrests of the supposed leaders of the German plot are immediately ér- pected.

Others arrested include Darrett Giggis, Thomas Hunter, Joseph McCraith John McGarry, Patrick O'Keefe and Doctor Richard Hayes. "All the arrests were made under the Defence of the Realm Act

A telegram from Dublin says that at two this morning a considerable number of arrests were made in Dublin and throughout Ireland. The "Daily Chronicle" correspondent at Dublin says the enforcement of conscription in"Ireland is dead and buried.

Government Accused of Insincerity.

London, May 17,

Mr. Dillon presided at a meeting of the Irish Parlia mentary party at Dublin after which a statement was issued declaring that the Government never really intended intro- ducing or passing & Home Rule Bill containing the slightest hope o settlement. Latest developments suggest that the Government does not intend producing a Bill and that their promises are simply meant to deceive the House of Commons Lad the public, but especially the American Government and people and the European Allies. The statement appeals to the United States not to be deceived by the Britisa, pro- pagandist misrepresentations of Ireland but to urge Britain to immediately apply to Ireland the principles of self deter mination expounded by President Wilson. -

The Lord Lieutenant's Proclamation.

"London, May 18.

Lord French's proclamation says: "Whereas it has come to our knowledge certain subjects of His Majesty domiciled in Ireland conspire to enter and have entered into treasonable.... communication with the German enemy, whereas such.. treachery is a menace to the fair fame of Ireland and its "glorious military record, a record which is a source of intense pride to a country whose sons have always distinguished themselves and fought with such neroic valour in the past in the same way as thousands of them are now fighting in this war, and whereas drastic measures must be taken to put down this German plot which measures will be solely direct ed against that plot. Now, therefore, as it is the duty of all loyal subjects of His Majesty to assist in every way His Majesty's Government in Ireland to suppress treasonable conspiracy and defeat this treacherous attempt of the Ger mans to defaune the honour of irianmen for their own u we hereby call upon all loyal subjects of His Majesty in Ireland to aid in crushing this conspiracy and to assist in securing the effective presecution of the war and the wel- fare and safety of the Empire. As a means to this end we shall cause further steps to be taken to facilitate and en- courage voluntary enlistment in Ireland in His Majesty' Forces in the hope that, without resort to compulsion the contribution of Ireland to the Forces may be brought up to proper strength and made to correspond with the contri- butions of other parts of the Empire."

COMBING-OUT IN GERMANY.

London, May 18.

The "Time" Hague correspondent says that the latest comb- out in the Rheinst-Westphalian mine districts have yielded 100,000 men for the colours to be replaced by war prisoners in- cluding Russian Bed Guards. The latter are treated most harshly and literally worked to death. If they fall sick they are left to die. Germans from Eumania are disgusted at being sent to the Western Front as they thought their fighting was over,

THE KING AND THE U.S. RED CROSS.

London, May 18.

The Press Bureau states: His Majesty has telegraphed to Prendent Wilson on the eve of the American Red Cross second appeal as follows-"thank you in my peopia's namo for the assistance you have already afforded to the Allied sick and wounded My heartfelt wish is that the new ap- peel may enable the American Bed Cross, beside the British and Allied organisations, to successfully carry out the grest humane mission imposed on ng by a gigantic war. The un- exampled munificence of America's first response is a noble record. I feel sure the generous hearted people will again respond to the extent that the resources of your great conia- ky, alone can command.

ITALIANS' FINE RESISTANCE.

London, May 18. An Italian official message says: The enemy's third.. attempt on May 17 to recapture Mount Corno failed. Two columna, with machine-guna and flame-throwers and strongly, supported artillery, attacked our positions. The attackers were caught, under a violent artillery and machine gun. fire and compelled to return in confusion. We captured two fame-throwers and firmly hald our positions. We repulsed raiders with loss at other points of the front.

A British official message from Italy says:: We have de-" stroyed nineteen aeroplanes Wince the 8th inst. Two of can kave not returned.

DISTRESS IN PETROGRAD,

London, May 19, The Times correspondent at Petrograd, writing on 30th April, says that famine in Petrograd is most alarming Practically no food is obtainable and the meagre rations doled out by the authorities are inadequate for subsistence. Food is so valuable that it is secretly circulating instead of paper money, Hams cost sixty pounds each, batter forty- twoʻshillingi, choose thirty-six shillings, flour twenty shill- inga and potatoes siz abillings por pound. Most of these are only obtainable privately. The British community,

· now reduced to five hundred, las induged the Consul to wire to London for makables"

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

GENERAL SMUTS ON THE MILITARY OUTLOOK.

London, May 17. Speaking later in the occasion of the confervent of the freedom of Glasgow upon nim, General Smuts, after expressing has appreciation of the honour and of the tributes paid to himself and the South Africans on their achievements in the war, said the very climax of the whole accumulated effort of the war was now, upon us. The enemy was trying to smash the British Army because he recognised it was the decisive factor, and if he could beat it tho waz would be over. The Germáns knew it was the rea¡ mainstay of the alliance and thought that if we were broken the alliance would break ups The enemy also knew we had been bearing an enormous burden in the battle-field and that 1917 would remain for the British Army one of the most memorable campaigns they had ever been through. "You've got to show the enemy that neither as an army nor a nation is the British Empire ever likely to get tire." (Cheers). Because the British Nary scaled up Zeebrugge and Ostend the enemy. had all the more reason to get Dunkirk and Calais in order to possess submarine bases in the Channel. The results of the German offensive so far compensated us for our losses, for we had secured unity of command, the lack of which had previously led to the dissipation of our forces. He was sure unity of command would prove a most valuable asset, The country was very highly indebted to Mr. Lloyd George for his untiring labours to secure that unity. (Cheers). The Premier had nis faults, but they were faults of genius and in the time of supreme crisis when a real live man came forward to guide the forces of the nation he claimed they should not look at mistakes but at the big work.

A year ago, the Premier asked him to visit the front and give the Government his impression of the situation. He reported that the most necessary thing was to have a big army of manœuvre and dash, on army of stratégić reserves which could be used for contingencies such as bad happened now and might happen later. General Ludendorfi'. - more had been an eye-opener, like a blinding flash of lightning on a dark night. It had done the people of the British Empire the greatest service possible by showing us where the danger was. It showed that Britain was still by no means secure and we must stave of disaster and defeat by unprecedented exertions. He was very glad the country now realised the actual situation. There had been a good deal. too much unworthy and unholy pacifism, but to-day all classes of the community were prepared to sink. their difference and combine their energies to do every- thing possible in order to secure victory. That spirit was the best pledge of the victory which was coming. (Cheers). The German blow was not going to shatter the British Army and British Empire as the Germans expected. It only laid bare the soul of the nation in its heroic fervour and as in as that spirit prevailed be did not doubt the results. Was it not the irony of fate that the Americans were now coming over in hundreds of thousands and, German submarines could do nothing to their transports: The sub- marine campaign occurred because the Germans were certain an American army could never reach Europe. The submarines drove America into the war, yet could do nothing to prevent them coming to Europe. So it would be to the end. Tis enemy would come within an nes of victory, but would not secure it because his cause was wrong. The situation would be very anxious for many days but he was confident that the enemy's efforts to secure the entire defeat and extinction of the British Army in France would fail.

BRITISH DESTROYER TORPEDOED,

London, May 18: The Admiralty reports that a British destroyer was tor-" pedoed and sunk on the 14th inst Two men were killed as
