BARE SINN FEIN
PLANS FOR HUGE
IRISH-UPRISING
Communication in Possession
of Liam Meliowes, Recently
Arrested, Reveals Work
ings of Revolutionists. ,
" i , - (Bf AaMClatcd Frew.)
New York, Nov. 1. Details of the
plan of the Sinn Fein leaders for the
insurrection in Ireland, which culmin
ated in the Dublin riots of last year,
together with information relative to
the landing on the Irish coast of Sir
Roger Casement, were recounted in a
communication found in the posses
sion of General Liam Meliowes, Irish
revolutionist arrested here several
weeks ago, and made public today by
William J. Flynn, chief of the United
States secret service. . - . ,
At the same time Flynn gave out
copies of an artfully worded letter
which Thomas Welsh, a British sub
ject, attempted to destroy when taken
into custody by federal authorities on
the arrival of a steamship here last
Sunday. ,
The two communications, secret
service agents say, have furnished
much information of value in their in
vestigation of. the ramifications of
Sinn Fein operations in the United
States. t "' ';'
Meliowes, said to have been com
mander of a considerable force of
revolutionists during the Dublin riots,
is at liberty under $7,500 bail, charged
with obtaining by fraud a seaman'
passport .on which it is claimed he
intended shipping on ; an English?
bound vessel in order to assist in an
other Irish rebellion.
, AMMuct Is it Stake."
That another uprising was planned
for a time not distant is indicated,
authorities believe, by a closing sen
tence in the unaddressed letter found
In Welsh' possession. In urging dis
cretion in the wording pf communica
tions, presumably from Sinn Fein
agent in the United States to leaders
of the movement in Ireland, this let
ter said: ' ; ; , . ' , , Y
"The game is so high and there U
too much at stake to take any risk
and you must use extreme caution
when writing. ! Always refer in fu
ture to the seanfear, a I do, and, if
possible, do not mention his name at
all." -
The word "seanfear" recur a num
ber of times in the communication,
which was of considerable length and
written , in a smooth, regular hand.

New York, foov. 11. The following
statement regarding the war work of
the Young Men's Christian association
was issued today by Sherwood Eddy,
associate general secretary of the in
ternational committee! .
"The Young Men's Christian asso
ciation has been chosen by the govern
ment as the agent or arm of the nation
to minister to the physical, social and
moral needs of the men in the armies,
together with one or two ether organizations.-
si' t '
- "In France there are two organiza
tions working for the soldiers the
Red Cross and the Red Triangle of

fare work of the altied armies of
France, Italy asd Russia, and : the
6,000,000 prisoners of war a total of
24,000,000 men in all,' calling for a
total budget of $35,000,000, or an
average of $150 per soldier.
Religious Lines Obliterated.
"The Young Men's Christian asso
ciation works on broad lines, It is
open alike to Jew and Gentile, to
Catholic and Protestant. In France
the Catholics hold theirttnass in the
huts, - the Protestants their services
and the Jews 'their synagogue. We
have all inherited unhappy divisions
and narrowness from the past The
war, is bringing us together.
"The Young Men's Christian asso
ciation seeks to evangelize- but never
to proselytize. It seeks to hold every
man true to his God, his own church,
his own faith, his home and his own
best self. Workers of all creeds are
uniting under its roof to minister to
the men as unofficial lay' helpers.
Here is an opportunity for us to pre
sent a common front and to serve
the need of our common humanity.
Fills a Human Need.
"In these war camps we csn get to
gether on the broad platform of faith
in God, in humanity and in righteous,
ness, every man holding a right to his
own creed, but co-operating with all
others in the face of our one common
human need.
"Our men are facing great physical
hardship in the 'hell' of the trenches;
and the moral menace of fighting in a
far country removed from all. the
good influences of home. Can we not
meet the needs of these men and pro
vide them a home away from home?
Can we not forget the mistakes and
divisions of the past and face the
crisis pf the present and the challenge
pf the future? It is the biggest moral
challenge which ever confronted our
people. ; '' -v

other members Mr. Mason, Mr. Day

The .committee reported that ship
building was not proceeding as it had

of seeing that there are always plenty
of lawyers and other volunteers pres

the questionnaire.
"Questionnaires are to be mailed by
the local board to 5 per cent of the
registrants each day. The principal
work of the legal advisory boards will
thus be over in 20 day, by which
time all the questionnaires should be
returned to the boards. Every man
has seven days in which to return his
questionnaires fully made out. The pro
cess of classification will begin about
December 15. Eight days later the
boards will begin the great process of
classification, which becomes, in the
words of the president, 'a national war
undertaking of such significance as to
challenge the attention and compel the
assistance of every American.'
"Not since the war began has an
opportunity been offered for practi
cally every person to take an active
and vigorous part in so important a
warv measure as the actual raising ot
our armies, ine president s torewora
offers this opportunity. It gives a
definite place for the doctor to work
in making the physical examination.
For the first time it assiens every law

boards it gives every one who
responds to the president's call a place

Freedom From Wartime

Base of American Flotilla in Brit
ish Waters, Nov. 11. When an Amer
ican naval man who has visited Ire
land in time of peace is asked ' what
has impressed him most about Ireland
in war, the inevitable answer is "Ire
land's prosperity and freedom from
the wartime restrictions of other
countries." Hundreds of the Ameri
cans in the naval forces have visited
England, Scotland and even France.
All agree that there is more freedom
in Ireland, particularly less wartime
curtailment of personal liberty, as for
instance, regarding . restrictions in
eating and drinking. There is no con
scription there, no "defense of the
realm act" and few war taxes.
Certainly when it comes to food
and drink Ireland is a land of plenty
in comparison with England. There
is not only more food and drink than
in England, but it is of better quality.
No Meatless Days.
And in most parts of Ireland it is

There are only six wooden bridges in

Concrete bridges, massively built
and architecturally beautiful, are as
common in Iowa as the old shaky
wooden bridge is in Nebraska. Dozens
of place's were noticed where a rail

was jn the fight to the finish. Whether
Dr. Chamberlain has any other attor
ney in view was not known at the jail

Plea Made for Chejry "
Taste in Tombstones
Someone once offered upa prayer
that we might be saved from our
friends. He might well have added to
the petition the words, "from the
friends who design our tombstones."
The publiaation called Granite,
Marble anc Bronze has a timely ar
ticle on good taste intombstones, tak
ing up the variousfforms and em
bellishments that this mark of the
last resting place carries, and noting
the great need -for the work or artists
and architects. In too many cases
the stone carpenter furnishes' the
necessary design. Sometimes he is
in a hurry, or else custom makes him
somewhat indifferent to matters of
taste.
The point is made that as the tomb
stone carries an inscription which is
necessarily rather formal, so the stone
to be in good taste must partake of
the formality. This would exclude
trie rough-hewn stone, the stone with
rough face and polished sides; the
stone tree trunk, and the polished roll
set upon a, plinth. Hearts, armless
hands and like ornaments are con
demned without question. -
isepulchrpl architecture and artistry
change w;th the generations, s ,We
look with amazed amusement, on the
old headstones 'that' carry skulls,', or
heads, with wings attached to the
places where we should expect ears.
The chances are that coming genera
tion will regard many of our me
morials to the dead with similar feel
ings. Good taste is a subtle thing,
and it develops only with a growing
leisure ani culture.

buildincra erectd before snirnc and be
gin school work within the next few'
months. When the carpnteers on the
buildings quit work yesterday, they
stated that it was not likely that they
would finish the job until additional
appropriation had been made by the
legislature to carry out the school
plans. It seems that all the money
available for thu work has been spent.
The state purchased 40 acres of
land for the farm. - The main school
building is about completed,' one coat
of paint having been applied to the
outside and nothing remaining to be
done other tham interior finishing.
Work on the other buildings, includ
ing a large modern barn, has not been
started. :' .- , . : .

with instructions to deliver it to one
of the Industrial Workers of the
World prisoners about to be trans

should we take on the outside? Give
the answer to the girl in red."
Deputy Marshal Hart hurried out

against the government and it was de
cided to remove them to other jails
because of the crowded condition of
the Cook county institution. .
