SECRETLY STORED
SUPPLIES OFHUNS
WILL BE SEIZED
“
NEW YORK, Nov. 1G.—The United
States will seize vast quantities ol
German-owned supplies secretly stor
ed in the country to aid our troops and
their Allies in carrying on the war.
Already, it is learned, she has be
gun to confiscate the immense quan
tities of cotton, steel, nickel, leather,
oil, chemicals and other necessities of
war, purchased here by German
agents before the United states en
tered the conflict and since held here
in their names by American brokers.
The resources which this confisca
tion will place at the service of the
country are unbelievably extensive. Se
cret service men under Chief William
Flynn, it is revealed today, have al
ready seized stores of copper, steel,
oil and nickel valued at more than $2,
000,000.
Those who know the true state of
affairs, say that the government has
only begun to scratch at the wealth
of material held here for German pur
chasers. It is said that of cotton
alone Germany has more than 1,000,
000 bales in this country. At its cur
rent price, this store is worth $142,
000,000. Germany’s cotton in this coun
try was obtained by agents working
under Heinrich F. Albert, the imp
rial German privy councilor and spy
master.
In the archives at Washington are
somewhat detailed reports of this par
ticular activity on the part of Albert.
Most of th cotton was purchased be
fore November, 1915, a few months be
. fore Albert began speculation on his
own account in cotton with Germany s
money.
Germany purchased several other
million bales of cotton through houses
in neutral countries in 1914, 1915, and
191G. Most of it was smuggled into
Germany from Gothenberg, Sweden,
and varios points in Norway, Den
mark, Holland and Spain.
u “Under the trading with the enemy
act,” said a high federal official today,
“it is the duty of American brokers
and other Americans now holding raw
materials for Germany to inform the
government of the fact. Their failure
to do so constitutes a crime. When
these men lirst engaged in this work
in the country it was not at war with
Germany and their acta were perfect
ly legitimate, but now conditions are
different.”

GERMAN SPY
SYSTEM BAD
IN EUROPE
LONDON, Nov. 1G.—That the Ger
man spy system is more powerful in
some cases in Europe than an army
of 1,000,000 fighting men is the state
ment made today by Sir Richard
Cooper, in urging changes in the nat
uralization laws of England to meet
the situation.
He made the declaration before the
House of Commons.
Sir Richard added that Germany had
obtained information for the enemies
concerning the date of departure of
ships from English ports, many oJ
which had been sunk without any
trace.
Sir George Cave, Home Secretary
in replying said that the most danger
ous spies in England, because they
were the most difficult to catch, were
the German spies.
Other speeches were made indicat
ing that Germany had perfected a spy
system which reached every part oi
the world, and was responsible for at
tempts to work up sentiment against
the cause of the Allies, for numerous j
explosions, and for loss of ships and ;
loss of battles by accurate advance in- j
formation furnished.
