HOW TEUTON SPIES LAID PLOTS HERE State Department Makes Some Amazing Revelations Against Germans. - BERNSTORFF IN CVIL \WORK While Protesting Friendship for the United States he Directed Activ. ities of Kaiser's Secret Agents, of August, 1914, until the United States entered the conflict against Germany in April, 19017, the American state department kept a sharp eye on Teutonic doings of an unlawful na- ture in this country, but kept quiet about it, to the surface that the Kaiser's agents and tools on this side of the Atlantic were very busily engaged in trouble for us—by stirring against Ingland, by making picious of Japan, by attempt! force us to invade Mexico, by using the United States as a base of opera- tions against entente allies, fomenting riots, ete, to prevent our making and send- Ing supplies to Germany's enemies, Those among us not violently pr German came to hate fe this, and to accuse the state depart hatred us SUS to ng the strikes, iO Germany ir the in- ure to take action autocracy that was doing us gr Jury, both direct and indirect. ut now it comes to light that the state department was very much awake, The kaiser's tools were not putting anything over on a sleeping Uncle Sam. The old gentleman gave Ambassador Von Bernstorff his crowd all the rope they but sald nothing. Now the time has come for posures, and the state department is offering every day a fresh revelation against ave some and wanted, ex- try during the last four or five years— and prepamng for the world war long before hostilities actually started. Bombs and Microbes, One of the most posures, made a few days ago, was a message sent by Count Bernstorft his imperial master asking for “$50, 000 more” so that he could continue to “Influence congress against a declara- tion of war by the United against Germany.” Another foul plot turned to the light was the introduction into Roumanis by German agents of high explosive bombs and tubes of deadly microbes, under the protection of American dip- lomatic officers who had charge of Germany's interests in that country. These bombs were to be used in blow- ing up railroads and public buildings in Roumania and the microbes were to be used in starting a terrible dis- ease epidemic among the civil popula- tion. Such are the Kaiser's methods— he is the gentleman who claims to be on such intimate terms with God. Following is the most startling and far-reaching exposure of the activities of Germany's spy ri America yet made public. E has been compiled by ‘nited States committee on public official documents in the the government, hitherto been withheld from the press Work of German Plotters, In the fall of 1014, shortly after the outbreak of the war, the German em bassy established a publicity depart- ment at 60 Wall street, under the direction of Wolf von Igel.

He is now interned at Oglethorpe. he was known as “XXX.” Captain von Papen of the German embassy, Koenig describes an agent who has made bombs to resemble lumps of coal to be placed on board merchantmen sailing from New York, for the purpose of blowing them up while at sea.

Through Devoy at least one check for $1,000 was sent to Sir Roger Case- ment, Daniel F. Cohalen, Supreme court Justice of New York, is shown in a Von Igel cipher message as urging German support for the Irish revolu- tion. George Sylvester Viereck, editor of The Fatherland, a rabid pro-German weekly published in New York city, is noted in the German records as send- ing inquiries as to bombs and pigric acid. Viereck is still conducting his paper, having changed its name to Vie- reck's Weekly since the United States entered the war, James F. J. Archibald, the magazine writer, in whose possession the Brit- ish government discovered oficial cor- respondence between Von Bernstorft and Berlin, is shown in one of the pa- pers seized to have acknowledged re- ceipt of $5,000. Edwin Emerson, an- other writer, got $1,000 from Von Igel, Ray Beveridge, a California artist, and sister of Kuehne Beveridge, the sculptor, shown to have received $53,000 of German propaganda money.

Therefore Von Papen stands convicted, on the evidence of a report ciaimed as an official document by the Germany, of paying money to a plotter designing to blow up merchant ships sailing from she port of New York.
