III, man styling hiniself Lieut.. Rob
or, Fay OF the German army. when
he and Eobert Schol2 were arrested
n the heights OF New Jersey while
testing bombs with which they In
tended TO blos up munition laden
vessels leaving the harbor OF New
lo.k
These German plots, more o. Less
surprising to the American public
al large. and designed for the blow
ing I'D OF factories where guns,
shells and cartridges are being
made. and also ships in New York
harbor, have been worrying our sc.
crct service men for many months.
But so far the damage done has
been comparatively Insignificant.
The Germans here are not the
slickest for sleuths. They have en-
listed thousands OF German-born
walters, BARRIERS and bartenders In
their american secret service, and
the employment Of these clumsy
fellows has resulted In their little
games being given away practically
every time so far.
That England has 5cnt over her
cIeyerest Scotland Yard men to un-
earth bomb plots against your ship
ment OF munitions Is no reflection
on United States federal sleuths or
American detectives. You have not
enough men here to take care Of
these plots, and those you have are
not trained to foil European con.
spirators. We know this game.
Our work over here Is quite legiti-
mate. We are not plotting. Our de-
tectives cannot make arrests. but
they can. and are. tipping OF the
American authorities every day.
We have sieuths working in over
ais ut the Bethlehem Steel works,
at the Winchester Union Metallic
Cartridge works at Bridgeport.
Conn. ct the Du Font powder fac
tories, and In fact everywhere
where munitions are being made.
In this way We soon put q stop to
men IN German pay who were tam
perins with explosives. Now all
hands al almost all of these places
have to be passed by English secret
service men before they are allowed
to 90 to work.
Other men watch the packing Of
all material and guard It's transpor-
aticn over the railroad to the docks
ut New York. Last week on the
New Jersey Central railroad, owing
to the congestion of war freight,
there were nearly IL miles Of cars
piled up with locomotive parts wait
ing to be shipped to vlsdivostok for
the Russians. laid up In sidings.
German agents tried TO blow
these up. but we stopped them!
We are not afraid any moro Of
ships being sunk by internal ma
chimes on the Atlantic. British naval
officers and picked stevedores from
some OF the greatest docks In Great
Britain superlntend the slowing
away Of all munitions.
There are detectives on ali the
transatlantic liners, and very few
undesirable persons pass through
our blockading fleet unnoticed. II
we know some dangerous person
has sailed from New York We cable
the fact to England. the mans name
Is wirelessed To ali our patrol ships,
and when that person gets into the
war xone, his rhip 10 stopped and
ne Is nabbed by the naval officer.
