GERMAN PLOT IN IRELAND
A letter from Count Bernstorff to the German Government regarding German, official intrigues in the United States was found among yon Papen's papers captured at Nazareth. In this letter, addressed on 26th August, 1916, to the then Chancellor, Bethmann Hollvveg, the count mentions that' yon Igel and yon Skal 'had been concerned in the sale of arms, "stored to our account in New York and the State of Washington," which wero intended for India. He refers to "the destruction of all compromising documents ordered by your Excellency," and adds: "The connection in Now York with the India-Irish revolutionaries has been maintained, since the departure >of voi Papon, either by yon Igel or yon Skal. Yon Skal keeps in touch with the Irish, for which, owing to his wide acquaintance in these circles, ho is peculiarly fitted, and ho also, as before, enjoys their confidence."
