plot of Robert Fay, German army man,
but also told of widespread activities
of pro.German egeata to effect walk
outs in large munitions plnnts.
Gompers said that labor in the com

main advance is about IA miles daily
whereas he made his reputation in May
by progressing six miles daily from Du.

difference ia his advance is due not

II is more probable that the Scrbians

Washington, Oct. 26-Sharp represen-
tations to Germany, with demand for
an explanation, loomed today as pos
sible result of the admitted conspir-
acy on the part Of Robert Fay, German

it prove that these came from the Ger

In view Of the present inadequate
punishment for such violations Of neu-
trality, Attorney General Gregory in
tends to ask congress to enact new ones

have gone unaltered since 1879 Punish
ment, however, can be given the men

ment desires to make such violations OF
neutrality punishable by such a heavy
sentence that other plotters will b'
deferred.
Fay's exeulpation of Captain Boy.ec
and Captain Won Papen of the German
embassy will be further probed.
The administration is stirred by thu
frequency with which these plots have

FOUR UNDER ARREST.

New York, Oct. 26.-Police and Sc
cret service men drew their net tight
er today in the most recent German
enti-shipping plot, in which five men
already are either held or sought. They
intimated they had merely scratched
the surface and that further arrests
might be expected at any time.
The most startling overnight develop
ment was the search for Max Bretung
relative of Edwcrd n Breitung, a
millionaire shipping and mining man,
and purchaser of the Dacia, which later
France seized doubling the validity of
its transfer TO the American flag, under
war time conditions.
What part he played in the plot to
which Robert Fay former German army
Lieutenant. confessed, was not divulged.
Authorities felt, however, that Fay 8
story Of making clever bombs, timed
to explode by sea water action when
attached to n ship propeller had been
well substantiated.
The men held thus far are:
Robert Fay, former German lieuten-
ant.
Walter l.. Schcltz, his brother-in.law.
Paul Daeehe, Cologne university
graduate.
DIR. Herbert Kienzle, watch company
employe, charged with being the pur-
chaser of the deadly explosive Fay
planned to use in his bombs.
