State Department Makes Some
Amazing Revelations Against
Germans.

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,

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

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. About two
years later this office was raided and

George Sylvester Viereck, editor of

weekly published in New York city, is
noted in the German records as send-
ing inquiries as to bombs and pigric

paper, having changed its name to Vie-

James F. J. Archibald, the magazine
writer, in whose possession the Brit-

and Berlin, is shown in one of the pa-

other writer, got $1,000 from Von Igel,

sculptor, shown to have received
$53,000 of German propaganda money.

Here's a Pseudo Labor Agency.

under the guidance of Yon Igel was the
German and Austro-Hungarian labor
