WAR ACTS Of

To ENEMIES
Central Powers Get Dope
On U. S. Through Neu-
trails, it is Disclosed.

Washington, Dec. 22.-
An extensive traffic in
written communications
to Germany, Austria and
the northern European
neutrals, involving use of
invisible ink and code sys-
TENS, has been discovered
and stopped by officials
within the last few weeks,
treasury officials disclosed
today.
The traffic, it was dis.
closed, was carried on
largely by Swedish ship
and marine men.
Scores of persons now
are under surveillance
and a number of arrests
probably will be made
soon. Evidence that the
channels of communism
ton have been open ever
since the United States
entered the war, has been
uncovered and officials
suspect that much of the
information which the
German government is
known to have received
concerning war prepare
lions in America have
been transmitted under a
well organized scheme d.
rected by subjects of neu-
trail countries assisted by
some Americans.
Twenty per cent of the letters writ
ten in the United States or on ship
board and heretofore sent to Europ
by messenger or by a member of th
ships crew have been found to bea
messages in invisible ink or to con
tain code or cryptic phrases suspect
ed of holding hidden meaning.
Inspection Bares Traffic.
The discoveries were made by Gus
toms officials several weeks ago afte
instituting regulation of mails ou
side of regular channels. A strit
system of inspection of ships, the
crew and cargoes was begun and tn
dangerous nature of many commun
cations found on shipboard was in
mediately discovered.
This action, taken suddenly withol
notice to the crews, caused the di
covery of many letters which heret,
fore had been successfully conceale
: i ASaC Wei Z CA1AiilSt ny iAeiuiSlS dl
code experts and one in five W;

Most messages in invisible ink a.
