SPY'S CONFESSION
ALARMS WASHINGTON
State Department co Investigate
Charge That Passports Are Fab
ricated by Germans.

WASHINGTON, June 4 - Officials
of the state department were greatly
interested yesterday in the report of
the confession of Robert Rosenthal the
German spy, alleging that the head of
the German spy system in Berlin had
complete equipment for fabricating
American passports.
Ambassador Page has not yet trans
fession. but it is expected he will do
so in the next few days. Officials here
recognize the seriousness of Rosen-
thai s charges and are prepared to give
them such consideration as they seem
to merit.
IT is not expected, however, that any
action can be taken based only on
Rosenthal s statements. Allegations by
self-confessed spies are not regarded as
of very high value unless supported
by other evidence. 1t is thought, how
ever, that his statements may afford
the basis of an investigation by agents
of this government both in the United
States and in Europe.
In the several cases of passport ir-
regularities which have come to the
state department s attention since the
outbreak of the war there has been nc
indication that American passports
We're being fabricated. All the cases
have involved nothing more serious
than obtaining passports in the regular
way but under false pretences, and il
one of these cases has it been estab
lished that the German government wa:
in any way involved.
