limited way, county taxes. AS to these taxes

CHARGES GERMANS W|THPLOTS
GREAT BRITAIN COMPLAINS TO
UNITED STATES.
Embassy Presents Allegations of
Wide Range of Violations OF Ma
tons Neutrality.

washington, July 19.-At the in
stance Of the British government. the
state department has called on the
department of justice to investigate
activities of certain German SYM
pathizers in the United States who
are alleged to have been employing
unlawful means to strike at the allies.
Until inquiry has developed whether
there is sufficient evidence to warrant
prosecutions, no names will be made
public, and officials are reticent about
discussing the matters. 1t is known.
however, that information has reach
ed the British embassy concerning
plots, ranging from schemes to wreck
bridges over which railroad trains
were carrying volunteers to the Brit
ish army to the incitement of strikes
at American Industrial plants making
war supplies for the allies.
In one case the British gov
ernment informed the state depart
ment it had evidence involving a
wealthy German resident of Detroit
Mich, who was alleged to have sup
piled money to finance an attempt to
dynamite a Canadian armory and a
Canadian factory making clothing for
the British army.
All the evidence furnished by the
British embassy will be turned over
to the department Of justice, which
will conduct the inquiry. Widespread
investigations Of neutrality violations
already have been conducted by the
government and several prosecutions
have resulted. 1t is understood that
stories of plots to blow up British
ships at sea have been carefully look
ed into and that scores of suspected
persons have been under surveillance
In various parts Of the country.
According to reports today in OFF,
cial circles, some persons of high
repute In American business circles
have been mentioned in reports trans
mitted by the. British government. but
their names are being jealously guard
ed pending the outcome of the investi-
cations.
