Tells of tiuf Piot. Sir Archibaid Bodkin, the prosecu- | tor, descrived the German plot in 1914! for the formation of an “Irish brigade” from Irish taken prisohers on the brit- ish front. The prosecutor described the neans {used to induce Irishmen to join, and in particular the German ptomises to them, reading: government undertakes tg'send every member of Irish brigade to the Unit- ed States.” Sir Archibald read a long document issued by the Germans, which said: The trish in America. “The Irish in America are collect- jing money for! this brigade. Join the new unit and win your independence. The Irish brigade is to filght solely for the cause of Ireland with the mor- al and material assistance of the Ger- man government.” The story told by Prosecutor Bod- ing in Ireland follows: On April 12, from a horbor on:the Clare coast saw a man waving a handkerchief on an island half a mile from shore. He said he had been washed ashore from the torpedoed ship Mississippi during the night. He paid the fishermen five shillings to land him at Ballyaline pier where he gave his name as James O'- Brien and described the torperoing of the Mississippi with great detail, stating that the ship came from Bal- timore. “Came From America.” “Later in. the day his collapsible boat of undoubted German make was washed ashore. Dowling had seventy pounds of English money. the American army.” BUY W, 5, 5. ——— BIG FARM PICNIC Oliver County Celebrates Fourth in Old-Time Way Associate Justice Luther E.>Bird- |zell, Assisstant Attorney General | Harry A.
