ESCAPED GERMAN SAILORS
 CHARGED WITH OUTRAGES

WILMINGTON, Del Jan. 15.-A new sensation has been caused by the arrest of four German sailors who were interned on German cruisers at Norfolk, and who escaped, but who were discovered working in the Dupont powder mills, which were re- gently blown up.
 Two of the four escaped sailors were work ing in the mill that was blown up here and two were working in the mill of the same comyany that was blown up at Hagley. 1t is, therefore, believed that all the German sailors who escaped from internment went to work in munition factories of all kinds, and for the single purpose of destroying them. A careful search is being made by the authorities through all the Dupont mills for more of the escaped men. It is assumed by officials that when the men ran away from their interned ships and went to work in the factories to cause the explosions they

VON PAPENS PAPERS
 SEIZED BY THE BRITISH

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The papers of Capt Von Papen, the former military attache of the German embassy at Washington, were seized by the British authorities yesterday when the boat carrying Von Papen arrived at Falmouth The papers were turned over to the Mexican ambassador, and show that just before leaving the United States Won Papen made payments ot money ln Seattle before the dynamite explosion there
 Tremendous Sensation
 The reports of the seizure of the papers are causing tremendous sensation, as they are said to show that high German otil- cials took direct part in causing the out rages in different parts of the United States for the destruction of property. One ot the letters seized is said to show that Mueller, former German consul at Seattle, made payment of money to Werner Horne just previous to the explosion of the dynamite barge at Seattle last spring, and that the United States authorities ought to have no difficulty in showing that this money was paid for the barge's destruction. Another letter found in the papers of Won Papen was one from Mysenburg, the German consul at New Orleans, predicting that "a day of rcck- oning would come with this country also, :" the day of reckoning presumably to be brought about by Germany declaring war against the United States when her struggle in Europe has been ended.

safe conduct to the recalled attaches, and interference with their possessions was in reference with their personal and political liberties It is pointed out by members of the German embassy that had Won Papen believed he was not free from molestatlon he would never have carried anything that could be construed as discriminating with him when he touched at British port.
 The London reports regarding the con tents of the papers have caused sensa tion and it is generally thought that if the attaches of the embassy can be proven to have been directly concerned in the outrages there ought to be no trouble to prove that the ambassador hmiself had direct hand in the matter. Confirmation of the news is awaited anxiously.
