GERMAN INTRIGUE
UPROOTED BY THE
u. S. DISCLOSURES
Spy System Still Has Hold
but Workers for the Kai-
ser in America Are More
Cautious.

Washington, Sept. 1S.--Germany's
spy system and her international in
trigues are being rapidly uprooted by
governmental disclosures: While a spy
system still flourishes in this country,
officials declared today that the ex-
posures of the Argentine, Mexico and
Philippine plots have made Germany's
workers more cautious than ever be-
fore.
AS for the Philippines, authorities
said that the detention of German Vice
Consul Conrad Andre, of Cebu, on a
charge of trying to incite an insurrec-
ton had proven quite effective. Since
that time there have been no evidences
of any German attempt to stir up the
natives and to cause trouble for the
Unied Safes.
ACTIVITY IN CHINA.
In addition to the Andre revelation,
1t is known that the Germans have
pursued their intriguing methods In
the east extensively. China was a hot
bed of activity, but this has been
stamped out by Chinese governmental
action in rounding UP plotters.
There was talk today that with the
