According to a story which comes
from Multerz, Switzerland, a large
consignment Of cotton which arrived
there recently, has found it's way to
Germany, notwithstanding the strictest
effort Of the laws against contraband
The first development in the case ar
ter the assembly Of the cotton, was
the arrival Of a number Of large tin
boxes. Later 1t became known that
these boxes were disappearing gradu-
ally and steadily and the cotton dis
appeared with the same steadiness
Also 1t became known that tin boxes
were being fished out Of the Rhine al
Baden, some distance below MulterZ
and it leaked out that these boxes
were filled with tightly compressed
cotton. The boxes had come to Null
terz in nests and what looked like
only one box was evidently fifty OF
sixty boxes In this way more than
a thousand bales Of cotton are said to
have been smuggled across the river.
At least $50O,o0O has been expend-
ed in carrying out alleged German
plots in this country in an effort to
prevent war munitions from reaching
the Allies, according to statement
made in New York last Saturday, by
one Of the officials investigating the
cases Of Robert Fay, who claimed to
be a German army lieutenant, and
five alleged accomplices. Federal au-
thorities admitted Saturday that they
considered unreliable the lengthy
stories which Fay told concerning his
life history and activities in connec-
ton with plots against steamships
carrying munitions. Fay, 1t was said
is now believed to be Hungarian
whose real name Is Fell. Federal
agents are trying to trace the source OF
the large amount Of money said to
have been spent by different men in
carrying out, or attempting to carry
out, the various bomb plots. Fay and
ScholZ, his brother n-law, were
closely scrutinized by a sergeant OF
marines from the Brooklyn navy yard
who was on duty, it was said, when an
internal machine was attached to the
rudderpost Of the battleship Texas
some time ago.

nople by Monday, it was believed
here tonight. No delay was foreseer
beyond an occasional wait on a sid
ing for the passage over the single
track line OF northwesterly-boun
trainloads of food and raw materials
from Turkey and Bulgaria on theiI
way to Germany. The Bulgarians
were expected to push to the north
west Immediately, along the Orient
railroad, from Nish which they cap
tured Friday afternoon. The Germans
were reported already moving to the
southeastward, to meet them from
Vavarin, which they took today. The
two towns are 35 miles apart. Mill.
tary men thought the gap could be
closed by Sunday night. 1t was rec
ognized that it would require long
marching, but the Germans advanced
15 miles Friday. Germany and Tur-
key are mutually in urgent need OF
supplies which each can furnish tc
the other, so it was deemed certain
that no unnecessary time would be
lost.

for America so as to escape service III
the war, are being refused passage on
British vessels, and there are no other
vessels on which they can sail. Nine

the men were knocked down by wo-
men, and men in the crowd decorated
the hats Of others with white feath-
