CHARGE THAT GERMAN
 EMBASSY BACKS SPIES
Newspaper Asserts Evidence
 Shows NautraIity ViO ati.n.

According to an assertion made iD the Providence Journal. overwhelming evidence has been obtained by the United States government involving officials of the German embassy i'll "willful and persistent violations of our neutrality laws. Further. it is said that action is about to be taken which will result in sensational dis closures and many arrests" A bag of documents found iii the hands of d German secret service agent, the story says. has been turned over to the gov ernment. and among these are papers giving positive proof of German ac- tivities against the peace of the United States. With these documents the gov ernment is able to prove the following charges. the Journal says:
 That the passport frauds in New York and elsewhere. the fraud ill con nection with the Stegler case and all the mass of corruption that was woven about the entire passport plot. have been traced directly to the personal ac- tiyities of Captain Karl BoyEd, the naval aILacne or the 6efuldny el1- bassy.
 That Captain Koenig, chief dis bursting agent and head of the secret service of the Hamburg-American line in New York, has been the disbursing agent of the German embassy in the payment of most of its obligations that have been incurred in fomenting labor strikes, buying of newspapers, opening up of news bureaus and all the other thousand and one activities by which it has attempted to change public senti- mcnt in this country in favor of the German cause"
 The department of justice is now conducting an extensive inquiry into charges brought against German diplo- mates of prominence. To d certain extent the state department is coop erating in the inquiry. The indica- tionS are that the matter will shortly be brought to q head, with the possi bility that Germany may be asked to recall some of her agents whose ac tivities have been strongly brought 70 public notice. At least three officers of the German embassy are under fire.
