Agents Planned Base Here

OBJECT TO CRIPPLE
MUNITION SHIPMENTS
To Buy Ships in Which to
Send Supplies to
Germany

New York, Nov. Ga submarine bas'
for German undersea boats either in Mex
leo or in the West Indies, the buying o.
ships III the name OF German-American'
to send supplies to Scandinavia for Ger
many and the purchase OF large amounts
of chemicals and acids for explosives are
among the plans involved in the plot OF
German agents to cripple the entente al
lies, federal authorities now suspect, says
The Sun. The activities of Robert Fay
and others, now under arrest charged
with conspiring to blow up munition
ships, are only part OF much deeper
and broader scheme to harass enemies
of Germany.
The investigation Of the federal grand
jury, now hearing witnesses against the
former lieutenant in the German army,
Is planned to cover a field in which the
alleged Fay plot is only small part.
The federal authorities are investigat;
ing the uses to which $35,000,00 or more
obtained from the sale of German war
bonds is being put in this country. 1t Is
said that none of the money ever was
sent to Germany, though friends of the
German government insist that the funds
were transmitted by wireless.
Significant of this broad inquiry is the
wording of book which has come into
the possession of United States Attorney
H. Snowden Marshall and which purports
to be translation of "The War Book
of the German General Staff" An ex-
cerpt follows:
Bribery of the enemy's subjects with
the object of obtaining military advan-
tages, acceptances of offers of treachery,
reception of deserters, utilization of the
discontinued elements in the population,
support of pretenders and the like are
permissible; indeed, international law is
in no way opposed to the exploitation of
the crimes of third parties tassassina-
tions, incendiarisms, robbery and the
like to the prejudice of the enemy.
Considerations of chivalry, generosity
and honor may denounce in such cases
hasty and unsparing exploitation of such
as indecent and dishonorable, |
but law, which is less touchy, allows it. |
The ugly and inherently immoral aspect
of such methods cannot affect the recogni- |
ton of their lawfulness. The necessary
aim of war gives The belligerent the
right, and imposes on him, according to ,
the duty not TO let slip
the important, it may be decisive, mill
tary advantages to be gained by such
means.

Americans Reported Killed

Washington, Nov. 6.--Confidential re.
ports to the war department from official
sources in Mexico indicate that General
Villa, in his movement to Naco, is carry
ing out part of plan to strike from
there through the interior to the Pa
cific coast to capture the port of Quay
mas to get base of supplies and then,
after recouping his military strength,
probably move on toward Mexico City.
With the statement by Villa that he
was on his way to Hermosilio and was
busy assembling provisions for his men
at Villa Verde, the center of interest
in the border hostilities between Mexi-
can factions yesterday shifted to the
south. On the roads stretching south
and southeast from Naco, Villa said he
had $4,000 troops, which he was plan
ming to concentrate along the line of
march to the southwest metropolis.
In face of Villas reiterated assurance
that no property in the Cananea mining
district would be molested, it is report
ed that the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company paid $4,000 for immunity.
Conflicting reports were received here
concerning footing and destruction of
in this district. A detach
ment of Villa soldiers were reported to
have raided the ranch of n. f. d. Mich

Of the border. Horses, cattle and house

A political upheaval in England would

NO NITRATE FOR WAR.
Thirty Days Would Use the American
Supply.

Chicago, Nov. Elm an address Thurs
day to a committee of the American So
eiety of Civil Engineers, James II. Lewis
state engineer of Oregon, said that in
the event of war between the United
States and another power, the supply
OF nitrate available in this country would
be exhausted in thirty days and that
should the enemy control the seas, the
source OF nitrate supply would be entire
ly cut off. Nitrate is essential to the
manufacture of explosives. Mr.. Lewis
said: "The United States is dependent
for its nitrate stores on Chile. There is
a process for drawing nitrogen from the
air by means "a powerful electric fur
naces. Employment of this process is
all that has saved Germany from a mu
nitions famine in the present war. No
plant for using this process on a CONNER
cial scale exists in the United States"
Mr.. Lewis said a $50O0000O project
on the Columbia river, which would sup.
ply the national demand fo uitrates was
held up solely because OF uncertainty as
10 title to waterpower.
"The export duties which we pay Chile
for nitrates within a few years would
defray the cost of plant Of our own"
he said.
Waterpower projects, other than those
on the Columbia river, are held up by
reason OF interstate disputes over water
control, other members OF the committee
said. The committee, which viii be In
