two GERMAN INTRIGUE IN UNITED STATES Additional Disclosures Show Imperial Government Was Directly Responsible. Washington. -Further d".elo-uros of far-reaching German propaganda, intrigues ami piots in this c untry, prior lo the diplomatic break with Germany, were made today by the C'.mmittee on Public Information. In a bulletin styled "official expose", the committee quoted numcrou* letters and extracts from letters seized by the Department of Justice in April, 191(5, in a raid upon the New York office of Wolfe von Igel. Von I gel, in carrying on his manifold proGerman and anti-American activities tin documents show, was in constant touch with the German embassy and with Count von llernstorff. then the German ambassador to the United States. "Damning Conclusiveness." "In the form of letters, telegrams, notations, checks, receipts, ledgers, cash books, cipher codes, list of spies and other memoranda and records," the committee says, "were found indications?in some instances of the vaguest nature, in others of the most damning conclusiveness?that the Gorman imperial government through its representatives in a then friendly nation, was concerned with: "Violation of the laws of the United States. "Destruction of lives and property in merchant vessels on the high seas. "Irish revolutionary, plots against Great Britain. "Fomenting ill feeling against the United States in Mexico. : "Subornation of American writerand lecturers. "Financing of propaganda. ."Maintenance of a spy system un der the guise of a commercial investigation bureau. "Subsidizing of a bureau for the purpose of stirring up labor troubles in munition plants. "The bomb industry and other related activities." Holland a German Way Station. The committee, of which Secretaries* Lansing, Baker and Daniels are members, and George Creel, chairman, has this to say concerning Holland: "It has long been an open secret that Holland is merely a way station for shipments of contraband into Gor many. Here is official confirmation from the Von Igel records which would seem to indicate a suspicious ar.d confidential relation between the 'Holland commission' and the German diplomatic officials accredited t > this country or nossible a belief bv the Germans that they could not successfully get the munitions to their own country. The message in code with interlinear translation is enter ed as 'A-2493' and headed 'German Embassy, Washington, T). C., April 0, 1916.' It runs as foPows: '* 'Telegrams from Berlin by secret, round-about way for Carl Heysen: Consent Sale Holland three hundred thousand chests (cartridges) and two hundred tons powder.
