Strikes at Organization.


The first move by this government
will be against the gigantic secret SER
vice organization which Germany has
maintained in the United States ever
since the beginning Of the war. This
organization, It was learned at the
department of justice today, has been
energetically operated under the di.
rection of men known to be directly
responsible to the German govern
mental agencies, and has spent money
lavishly to oppose everything that
might aid the cause of the allies
Practically every violation of Anleri-
can neutrality which American off
cials have uncovered since the war
began has been traced to the directors
of this secret service, 1t was stated at
the department of justice today. The
arrest of Wolfe Won Igel, private sec
retary to Captain Franz Won Papen,
former military attache to the German
embassy at Washington, resulted in
the seizure of papers which furnished
an additional connecting link bewteen
the German picked to do such work
as the blowing up of the Welland can
al; the amassing of huge stores of mu-
nitions in this country; the placing OF
bombs on ships leaving American ports
and the destruction of munitions fac
tories, and the high German officials
who have been supervising the gener-
al work. These papers are in the
hands of the United States district at.
torney at New York.
