BBy Webb Miller, United Press Staff
Correspondent.]
DCBlflf, May 27.—Discovery that
part of the Sinn Fern-Germ an plot
^provided for the releasing of hundreds
of Austrian and German civilians now
interned in Ireland and for arming
them against the English, has been
made by the British, according to
statements of officials today.
As a result, deportation of these
men began today.
It is declared that the conspirators
planned to arm these alien civilians
with weapons delivered by German
submarines.
Despite the arrest of their leaders.
•Sinn Fein adherents were active
Sunday. Companies of them drilled
~at many points around Dublin. So
^secret was made of this fact at Sinn
^Pein headquarters, where it was
-stated that Sunday was observed in
-drilling "and continuing preparations
'to fight against conscription."
"Probably several thousand per
-sons drilled at various places and
-no arrests have been reported yet,"
-Ihe Sinn Feiners added.
Within ten miles of Dublin, in a
-billy, isolated district, I came upon
»Bixty men and boys between the ages
*of 18 and 35, who were quietly as-
-i
sembling from various directions.
I They came to the scene on bicycles.
When I saw them rhey were quietly
marching up and down afield in mQi
tary formations. All were in their
in bands on their arms.
"When they observed me the march
ers eyed me suspiciously, but did not
'stop their drilling.
A couple of miles down the road
pair of lookouts on bicycles dog
-ged the steps of several policemen,
ready to warn the drilling men
should the police show any hos
tility.
In front of Dublin church Sunday,
girls sold anti-conscription flags.
Throughout the day small boys
marched behind fife and drum corps
beaming the Sinn Fein colors, and
at night groups of young men sang
soldier songs in Sackville street I
-myself saw girls marching and drill
ing after they had been to church.
Miss Grace Shaw, a comely Indian
"maid, who has been attending school
at Stewart, Nov., has taken charge
.'of the elevator in a large office
^building in Reno.
