Western New spaper Union News Service.
New York.-A man beyond the
law" is at the head OF the boub plots
and passport frauds recently un-
earthed by federal operatives, a high
government official declared Monday.
He refused to name the master-plot-
ter but admitted the cause of the
trouble was connected with either the
Austrian or German diplomatic corps.
Under the law. we cannot prose-
cute the diplomatic representative Of
a foreign power" he said.
Robert Fay. selfstyled lieutenant In
the German army, and by his own
confession head of a gang of bomb
makers that sought to disable or de-
stroy munition-laden ships sailing
from New York to the entente allies,
told the story of his life to Assistant
United States District Attorney Knox.
Fay talked freely, fully and Of his
own volition for five hours without in
terruption. What he said was not
made public, but at the conclusion Of
the session Mr.. Knox announced that
all Fay wanted to do was to plead
guilty to the governments charge
against him and go to Jail.
Five cases of this sort lead back
to four sources" Mr.. Wood said.
"They are the Fay case, the Buenz
case and the three passport cases.
In none of the cases did the actual
defendants know what the defendants
in the other cases were doing. The
four sources. however, directing these
five cases are very close together
very. 1t is my belief that these four
men all reported to and took their Or
ders from the fifth man. who was the
director of all trouble of this sort in
the United States"
III you could prove this" Mr.. Wood
was asked, would you or could you
prosecute this fifth man.
'All l can say to that" he replied,
"is that, under the law, we cannot
prosecute any diplomatic representa-
i've of a foreign country"

MUST PROTECT AMERICANS.
Wilson to Demand That Vienna Give
Same Guarantees a. Berlin.


Same Guarantees a. Berlin.
Washington.-Presid Wilson does
not intend to pursue waiting policy
toward Austria's submarine campaign,
but will at once demand of the dual
monarchy the same assurances OF
safety for Americans aboard liners
that were given by Germany only
after repeated warnings. This is the
consensus of opinion in diplomatic
and official circles here following the
publication of conflicting reports by
Austria and Italy as to whether the
liner Ancona was warned before she
was sunk by an Austrian submarine
and as to the alleged shelling of the
Ancona's lifeboats. The president was
deeply shocked by the Ancona tragedy.
He had believed that the whole
submarine controversy was settled
and the prospect Of renewal of the
the American notes to Germany dis.
tressed him greatly.
Therefore, if is understood. he will
ask Austria at once to give the United
States the assurances which Germany
finally has given.
President Reinstates Postmaster.
Washington.-Presid Wilson in.
structed Postmaster General Burleson
to reinstate George Burkitt, removed
as assistant postmaster at Winnetka,
ILL.,, because he criticised the president
for his engagement to be married. The
president qualified his instruction by
telling the postmaster general that
Burkitt should be restored to his posi-.
ton II there we're no other charges
against him. Announcement Of this
action was made by Secretary Tu-
multy after brief conference with
President Wilson.
