London, May 18.—Ireland and Irish affairs again have cg to the fore. Discovery of a German plot involving certain jJj sons in Ireland was announced last night in Dublin by issuangg a proclamation signed by Edward Short, chief secretary of I land in the name of ILord Lieutenant French. The proclamation asserts that residents in Ireland have tered into treasonable communication with the German en and calls for drastic measures to put down the conspiracy. untary recruiting is urged so that compulsion may be avoided a the Irish may assist in putting down the conspiracy. : Communication with Dublif is slow but a dispatch to th Times says a large number of persons have been arrested thes and other parts of Ireland. Reference to voluntary enlistimen appears to confirm predictions that the government has changef its policy concerning conscription in Ireland owing to Sinn F and Nationalist opposition. Professor De Valera, William Cosgrave and Countess M kievicz all were arrested for the parts they played in the Sin Tein revolt in Dublin in Iaster week of 1916 when the short livi Irish republic came into being. All were sentenced to death. bif this was commuted later to life -imprisonment. After seve months in prison all were released. Prof. De Valera was elected member of parliament for Ea Claire last October and Premier Iloyd George announced in fl House of Commons that De-Valera was plotting to bring ‘abe another rebellion in Ireland. Since the passage of the conserd tion bill De Valera has been very active working against it De Valera was born in New York city of a Spanish {atl and an-Irish mother. . Arrests in Belfast.
