SAYS BOY-ED GOT
SECRET REPORTS
ON NAVY'S WORK

New York, Dec. ia story of in
ternational intrigue involving the
theft of secret document of the
American navy was told here yester-
day. The confidential report, stolen
from government sources, is said to
Boy Ed. naval attache of the German
Embassy. who recently. was recalled
/ by the Kaiser, at the request of the
administration.
Then followed an investigation at
the direct. order of President Wilson.
in the course of which an aid to Boy
Ed confessed the manner in which the
document was obtained, and when
Captain Boyd confronted his assist
ant with the betrayal there followed
a bitter quarrel between the attache
and the man In question.
Weeks ago Pesident Wilson request
ed that thorough inquiry be made as
to the preparedness of the United
States navy, especially in regard to
the amount OF ammunition on hand
and the facilities for getting more
That report was submitted to him,
apparently for consideration by the
cabinet, though it never reached the
Presidents advisers.
The document was in possession of
several persons and may have been
mislaid for a few minutes or left I'M
guarded. At any rate the report or it's
| contents reached the German naval
attache. That was about three weeks
before the recall Of Captains Boy-Ed
and Won Papen was requested by Sec
1 rotary Lansing. -f1~
| It became known to certain officials
in Washington that Captain Boy-Ed
had obtained the document. Presi-
dent Wilson was apprisedB it is said,
and within 80 minutes ordered an in
vestigation, and the story Of how the
attache got the secret document was
reported to Pesident Wilson.
| In connection with the mysterious
happenings of the last few days there
was reported the unexplained disap-
pearance of Gustave Kruger, an UNI
der secretary employed by Captain
Boyd. He had his living quarters
on the steamship President Lincoln in
Hoboken, but on Saturday night he
left there and did not return.
