NEW YORK, April 25.?An investigation was begun today at the office of the United States district attorney to determine whether crime had been committed by persons responsible for attacks on President Wilson and the national administration that have appeared in Irish-American papers published here since the outbreak of the revolution in Dublin. Copies of these editorial will be examined, it was said by one of the assistant district attorneys.
The attention of the Federal authorities was first aroused by an editorial statement that information which led to the sinking of the German ship that attempted to land arms and ammunition "in Irish soil" came from a member of the Washington administration "and the orders of President Wilson." This declaration has been authoritatively denied in Washington.
Colonel Patrick Wallace, commander of a company brigade of the Irish volunteers, who is now in New York, is authority for the statement that the present situation in Ireland was not fostered in Germany nor in the United States.  In America, the plans of the Irish volunteers, he said, "have been ready ever since the first talk of conscription was heard in Ireland. At the time of the revolt, there were 1,000 fully armed and fully trained volunteers in Ireland. Throughout the country, there were 60,000."
