 prefaces it with a merandum relating 10 von der Goltz identity and the manner or his arrest in England.
 The memorandum says that when yon der Goltz was shown a check signed by Captain yon Papen, the former military attache of the Ger man embassy at Washington, which had peen seized at Falmouth, he ad- mitted his endorsement and asked to be allowed to make a voluntary state ment. He was thereupon given writ ing materials and spent the night of January 3i il compiling a statement to which he afterwards swore.
 The governments memorandum re marks:
 Won der Goitz' statement finds de tailed corroboration in the von Papen checks which he cannot have known were in the possession of the British authorities
 The statement of von der Goltz, as given out by the government, is, in part, as follows:
 "On August 3, 1914. I left tine Mexican army on leave and arrived in Fl Paso, where Consul Kuck d. rected men to report to von Papen. arrived in New York in mid-August.
 T visited Vice Consul Kraske, who suggested that I avoid being seen about the consulate, and he would notify me when to meen von Papen. A few days later l met von Papen. was asked my opinion of a scheme suggested by a certain Schuhmacher. for raiding towns on the coast of the Great Lakes with a motor boat armed with machine guns. The proposal later was rejected owing to the em- bassy receiving information about Schuhmacher.
 'I was then requested to assist ill a scheme for the invasion of Canada by a force recruited from reservists in the United States. aided by German warships then in the Pacific.
 This scheme, which was proposed by von Papen and Boy-Ed, later was abandoned on the advice fBerns- torff Next von Papen asked me to confer with two Irishmen and pro posed the dynamiting of railway functions, grain elevators and the locks of the canals connecting the Great Lakes. It was hoped thus to terrify Canada, preventing the domin- ion from aiding the mother country.
 T received the Irishmen who brought maps and details of the plan. Before going to BoltimOre to consult Consul Leuderitz l employed one man, Chas. Tucker, alias, Tucsheimer, as an assistant. l then went to Balti- more and consult Leuderitz, who ob- tained passport in the name of Taylor. He also introduced me to the captain of Q German ship at that time in the harbor proposing that l make use of part of his crew and one officer.
 Returning to New York 1 selected three men to assist me and acquainted them with part of the details Of the Scheme. received a check from yon Papen, which was cashed for me by MT. Stafford, member of a German club
 Regarding the material, arms and dynamite needed, von Papen informed me that Captain Tauscher. of Krupps agency, had agreed to furnish them. I saw Tauscher He gave a letter of lO lEt I(uUOlt ' company recommending B. H. Taylor and supplied men with an order to the man in charge of dynamite barges lying on the New Jersey side of the Statue of Liberty. Tauscher told me he would send pistols by messenger to Hoboken to be delivered there to one of my agents at cer- tain restaurant.
 Tn order to get dynamite it was necessary to hire a motor boat at q place near 18th Street, Harlem, and put the dynamite aboard in siutcases. After getting the explosives, l went by taXicab with two suitcases to the German club and saw von Papen. then took the dynamite to my rooms, where l also kept a portion of the arms packed in a small portmanteau. The remainder were in the keeping of two agents. one being MT. Fritzen. the discharged purser of a Russian steamer. the other MT. Busse. a con- mercial agent who formerly lived in England.
 'The only other agent I employed was c. Covani. who attended me per sonally, Tucker not being entrusted with any Of these things.
 Two or three days later i received from vOn Papen a supply of sener- ators and wire which 1 took to my rooms. X few days later we left for Buffalo, Fritzen. Busse and Tucker taking care of the munitions, COvani attending men.
 Tn Buffalo I hired rooms at 1S9 Delaware Avenue. had the dynamite brought there and spent some days gathering information about the pre- cautions taken by Canadian officers. Then 1 myself and my agents went to Niagara Falls, N. Y. September 15.
 While still in Buffalo l received telegram from von Papen informing me that a lawyer, John Ryan, had money and instructions. l received the money but no instructions. Being thrown on my own resources, l de termined to reconnoiter the terrain where I wanted to act but on the twenty-fifth Ryan summoned me.
 Having received privately informa- tion that the first Canadian contin- oeut had loft Nalcartier camD I knew
