Germans Planned to Destroy
French and EngIiSh Liners
MEMBER OF BAND CONFESSED
Made internal Machines Timed 10
Explode After Doomed Yes
sells Were at Sea.

New Orleans. Dec. PA plot to
dynamite English and French ships
leaving this country was disclosed
he-e tonight In the confession of one
of ten Germans who were taken into
custody by the police. This man de
clares he placed bomb aboard the
French liner Rochambeau. which sail.
ed from New York on December 10.
and that he timed 1t to explode in six
and half days.
The man who makes this confes-
sion is known as Hans Halle and also
as Frank Helm. The police are in
possession of unmistakable evidence
that he is a German spy and that in
the course of his operations in the
United States he has masqueraded
In woman's cloths He has made a
startling confession, according TO the
police, and involves the other men
who have been arrested.
Halle took the police TO his room
at hotel and there they found an in.
fernal machine which the prisoner
said he was prepa- ing to send to New
York tonight He said, he had made
the bomb himself and that the ex.
plosive was rs per cent dynamite. II
was timed to explode, he said, in six
and one-half days and was TO be
placed aboard the French liner
Chicago which will sail for Havre on
Saturday.
The police who made the arrests
tonight say they have conclusive evil
dence against the prisoners. Their
scheme was TO destroy ships sailing
from this port with horses aud mules
10 be used b. the army of the Allies
in Europe In every instance, so far
as can be lea ned, the scheme was TO
place aboard the ships a bomb of
sufficient explosive power to destroy
the ship and, according TO Halle. II
was planned In every case 10 have
the bombs explode while the chips
were at sea. Halle is said 10 have
explained the clockwork of the bombs
he has made aud to be quite proud
of his efforts. The other prisoners
have refused TO talk.
