m WENTY million dollars spent
FOR GERMAN PLOTS IN AMERICA
Official Account of German Intrigues During the
Period of Our Neutrality
That the Herman government spent
between $15,000,000 and $20.ooo,ooh
nil pints and Intrigues in this country
in the years 1015 and 1010 through a
single channel, the offi < ot hr Hein
rich F Ubert. the commercial attach**
if the Herman embassy, is revealed
for the first time in the latest publi
cation of the committee on public in
formation. released recently.
The title of tlie pamphlet is “Her
man Plots and Intrigues in the Fnited
States During the Period of Our Neu-j
trality.” Its authors are Professor K. >
K Sperry of the Pniversity of Syra
cuse and Professor Willis M, West of.
the Pniversity of Minnesota The
sources from which their information1
is drawn are the official files of the
i department of justice, and the records
of the trials conducted by the depart
meat agents, particularly in New
York. Chicago. Detroit and San Fran
cisco.
The story told by these official rec
ords as they are painstakingly ex
plained and interpreted is an amazing!
one. it dots the “i’s” and crosses the
*'t's” to all our conceptions ot official |
j German unscrupulousness. effrontery:
and lying. It «l<*a 1 s with labor lead
»*rs corrupted, and strikes caused in'
j munitions plants by German influence,
j with the German financing of the
j movement for an embargo on muni
lions shipments; with the destruction I
ot innocent merchant vessels by
bombs planted in their cargoes by
Herman agents in American harbor-;
with [dots for the promotion of sa-j
botage in the United Stales and inj
Canada, including the blowing up < : j
the W elland canal and the Canadian >
Pacific railway: with tile corruption*
nl American opinion through the
ncrnci nl Herman paid professor-,
newspapers and lecturers; with the
forging of passports to send Herman
reservists abroad: with the supply
from American ports of Herman raid
j ers at sea; with Herman plots organ
ised here in order to cause revolt in
India and Ireland; with the procure-!
tlon of perjury and the shameless iy |
!ng of the German government Per
Imps history contains no instance of |
effrontery greater than the Issuance
to tli«- American press, in December.
' i:• iof tin- m;; >. ing offic ial li
"The Hetman government has nut

j to promote the cause of Germany in
1 the United States by illegal acts, by
i counsel of violenc e, by contravention
j ol law, or by any means whatever
that could offend the American peo
ple In the pride of their authority."
Kvery line of this pamphlet proves
the falsity of this official German
statement.

Of the bomb industry, with its :too

in thirty-three ships sailing from New
I York, we get this glimpse in the testi
. mony of a witness in tho case against
Captain Vim Kleist in the New York
courts; “We sal down and we spoke
for about three hours. * * * I
asked him the different things that
he did. and said If he wanted an in
terview with Mr Von lgel, my boss,
he would have to tell everything. So
he told me Von Papen gave Dr.
School, the partner of Von Kleist in
this factory, n cheek for $10,000 to
start the bomb factory. * * * He
told me that he, Mr. Von Kleist, and
hr. School**, and a man by tho name
of Becker on the Friedrich der (Jrosse.
were making the bombs, and that
Captain Wolpert. Captain Bode and
Captain Steinberg had charge of put
ting these bombs on the ships; they
put these bombs in cases and shipped |
them as merchandise on these steam
ers. and they would go away on the
trip and the bombs would go off after
the ship was out four or five days,
causing a fire and causing the cargo
to go up in Haines He also fold me
that they have made quite a number
of these bombs; that thirty of them
were given to a party bv the name!
of O'Leary, and that he took them j
down to New Orleans, where he had
charge of putting them on ships down
there, this fellow O'Leary.''

AMERICAN NAVY WILL HAVE
HOSPITAL ON IRISH COAST
AN IRISH PORT. Sept 7 The
\meriean navy is constructing a base
hospital here on the grounds of an
old estate at one of the most pic
turesque spots on the Irish coast The
ward and other buildings, which are
almost completed, are on a slope that
genth rises from the sea to be topped
at its crest by a fringe of giant beech
trees, in front of which is the old
mansion house. The old home is be
Rig attractively fitted as a nurses'
home to accommodate eighteen of the
thirty nurses to be sent there.
While there has been very little
sickness among the personnel at the
American destroyer base, a hospital
has been needed. The buildings were
constructed on the “knockod-down
plan, shipped here, and are now being
nincpd tnircther. Thev will accom
niodate lino patients
The hospital will have Its own gar
den. raise its own poultry and main
tain its own small dairy. Already the
sailors have turned farmers. Pastures
on the estate afforded a good hay
crop. The barn has been filled with
it and there is a fair sized stack in
a field ready for the stock that is to

Out), it is expected, will be realized
this year by farmers in the Matanuska
valley on their hay crop. In the neigh
borhood of 800 or 1,000 tons of hay,
with oats hay predominating and the
rest timothy and alfalfa, will be har
vested. This year's yield of hay is
I the first of any consequence In the
Matanuska valley, which is thirty
tour miles north of Anchorage on the
government railroad Hay will be
, only a minor part of the agricultural
production of the Matanuska valley.
The chief crop this year, as last '
yar, will consist of root vegetables,
such as potatoes, rutabagas, beets,
carrots and cabbages. The acreage
in potatoes is not so extensive this
season as last season, but the quality
ot tile produce is expected to be su
perior. Thtt vegetable yield will be
considerably in excess of the demand
ot the Anchorage market, and the ef- r
•'ort initiated last spring, of selling in
other markets on the Alaska coast,5
will be continued with this season's
crop
Seeding was late this spring and the
harvest will be correspondingly late
this fall.
