TWO INDICTED
IN PASSPORT PLOT
Rintelen. Accused Here, Be-
lieyed to Have Been Ex-
ecuted in London.

Edward Meloy and Franz Rintelen'
who has several aiisseS, among them
Edward V. Gates, Edward Y. Gasche
and Fred Hansen, were indicted by the
Federal grand jury yesterday, charged
with having engaged In a conspiracy 70
defraud the government by obtaining
a false passport from the State De
partment. The indictment was MED
with Judge Sheppard in the Federal
court.
II il the belief in government cir
cles that Rintelen, who came here 20
act as a German fiscal agent, IS one oil
the two mysterious spies recently exc
cLted in the Tower of London. This
belief is the result of the failure OF the
British government 10 forward papers
alleged to have been seized on the
Holland-America liner Nieuw Amster'
dam. on which Rintelen sailed. The
9th spy put to death is thought 10
have been Hans Adam Won Wedell, who
was implicated in the first false pass
port case.
Assistant United States Attorney Ray
mond H. Sarfaty said he knew nothing
Of this belief last night and ADDED
that he had not made nor would he
make any statement regarding the pass
mort cases. He declared that 1t was
impossible for him to know who had
been put to death in London and was
inclined to doubt the report that one
Of the spies was Rintelen.
Yesterdays indictment charges that
the conspiracy of Rintelen and Meloy
was formed in this city last July and
that in furtherance of it Rintelen APP
peared at the Office Of the clerk Of the
Federal court on July 90, representing
himself as Edward V. Gates, OF Penn
sylvania, and applied for a passport:
II Is also charged that Meloy in
formed Rintelen's voucher, Melville c.
Barnard. that the applicants name was
Gates and that he had known him well
as A wine agent and that Mrs. Gates
had entertained him at their Riverside
Drive home The passport was not IS
SEED.
A month later Meloy, who is an
American. and Rintelen, German sub
feet. but provided with a Swiss pass
port issued 70 Edward Y. Gasche
sailed for Holland on the Nieuw Am
sterdam. Rintelen was taken from the
shin. as an alien enemy at Falmouth
and Meloy was returned TO this coun-
try. When he arrived here he was ar
rested on suspicion of being concerned
in the conspiracy 10 obtain a fraudu-
lent passport for Rintelen. He was re-
leased in $4,000 bail.
The Federal grand jury, which is I'M
derstood to have considered complaints
of alleged breaches OF neutrality, took
up the Rintelen passport case, and
after Felix Sommerfeld, well known in
Mexican diplomatic affairs, and Others
had been questioned the indictments
were returned.

SEE IN BALKANS
KEY TO VICTORY
Germans Believe Orient Offers
the Way TO Strange
England.

Rotterdam. Oct. IS Dispatch to
DAILY News" London. -"'All Germany
believes that the complications in the
Balkans have brought about an entirely
new phase in the war, and they are
looking more and more anxiously to the
Balkans as the key to the situation.
The German armies have tried TO cut a
way out in both the east and the ives,
and have failed The way through Ser
bia is the last way out, and everybody
is watching with the utmost keenness
the progress of the new venture. They
have great hopes Of far-reachlng sue

"These words were used in the course
Of an interview | had to-day with a
gentleman who for some months has
occupied a position that gives him
exceptional opportunity Of knowing the
diplomatic activities and military plans

been enormously elaborated, and both
militarists and diplomatists think they

vistas of consequences that viii put an
end to English world domination or

sideration Of these new plans was the
escape of the Russian army at Wilma,

As a matter Of fact, they had sue

the offensive began-hence their ability
to prevent an immediate break through
their lines.
"'Russia's success caused the elab-
Grafton Of the Serbian campaign, and
Russia's ultimatum to Bulgaria forced
the Germans TO start the campaign be-
fore they were really ready. They had

THAT is their new place in the sun.
The East offers them new chances Of

German ever hopes TO retain. They
realize the inadvisability Of annexation,

madness has gone. The German people
now desire permanent peace, and they
hope that the Balkan struggle will give
it to them, although some believe it to
