Christiania, Oct. 1.-German con-
spirators, spies and propagandists. for

seem to have transferred their atten-
ton to Norway. A series of suspicious
fires In steamships and manufa ctories
is blamed on the plotters. Others are
charged with helping interned Ger
man sailors to escape.
Espionage Is freely engaged in. and
some Germans have been caught at

many months have been trying to
spread thick layer Of pro-0ermanism
over the country.
Every day plots or some assault

Of the same proportion as the "Baron
Rautenfels bomb plot" they at least
prove the perniciOus activity of the
Germans In a neutral country.
The situation has become such that
patriotic Norwegians have come to
look upon every German with more or
less suspicion. This feeling is the
result, primarily, of the admissions
made by two German spies. Captain
Lowen and Petty Officer Schwartz,
who were tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to five and four years, respec-
lively, I'm the penitentiary. They said.
no matter how they felt about the mat
ter, a German must do anything he
was ordered to by Berlin.
The newspapers have warned Nor
wegians to distrust every German. and
the warning in many cases is being
needed.
