GERMAN SPY EVIL IN MEXICO
HARNESSES L. s.; CARRANZA TO
BE ASKED TO TAKE
ACTION

Washington, July $3.50 numerous
have become the reports of German
spy activity and propaganda in Next
co that Ambassador Fletcher is pre-
pared. upon his arrival at Mexico City,
to call the attention Of the Mexican
government to the links in that coun-
try between Berlin and German agents
in the United States.
officials of the State Department
do not call into question the integrity
of the Mexican government, but the
reports have left no room to doubt
the existence of a German organiza-
ton in Mexico, whose Vaccinations
may be defined as a violation of Mex
ico's neutrality.
The Carranza government is be-
lieved in fact to be disturbed by the
abuse Of its hospitality, and there is
feeling here that the time is not
far distant when certain representa-
tives in Mexico OF the German for
eign Office mayb officially Ques-
toned as to their activities.
One man whom agents of the the
United States are watching is Rich
ard Eversbusch, the German consul
at Tampico. Mr.. Eversbusch, was the
partner in business of Mr.. Heynen,
the firm name for many years being
Heynen & Eversbusch.
While almost every other govern
ment has decreased the number of its
consular representatives in Mexico,
Germany has kept there full list
and Minister Won Eckhardt has been
at the capital since the overthrow of
Huerta,
1t will be pointed out to the Mexi-
can government that In the event of
reasonable proof Of undue activities
by any German consul or diplomatic
precedent for expulsion from the
country can be found In the cases

the Senate c0nferees yielded on the

ppointment by the President of an in
dividual administrator not subject to

The agreement was reached by

Chamberlain, and Smith Of South
Carolina, Democrats, and Warren and
Kenyon Republicans-voted to recede
from the Senate provision for three

One Man Needed
Success OF the food Administrator,
President Wilson told the conferees
leaders, largely depends upon its
management by one man. He said a
larger board would seriously inter-
fere" with successful conduct of the
war. There were persistent but I'M
confirmed reports that the President
felt retention of either the three-mem-
Der board or the congressional COM
mlttee would be sufficient cause for
a veto.

SLACKERS TO BE GIVEN PLACE
OF MEN DRAWN IN draft WHO
ARE FOUND PHYSICALLY

Washington, July 3O-Prompt and
efficient work by district exemption
boards is expected by government Of
ficials as result Of stripping all red
tape from the procedure of the trib-
unals. President Wilson's executive
order outlining government employees
exemption coupled with instructions
to the boards from Provost Marshal
General Crowder are regarded here as
setting in motion the last phase of the
selection process with a momentum
that insures minimum of confusion
and delay.
The object of instructions is to i'm
press the boards with the view that
their primary purpose is to select the
personnel for the national army from
the great reservoir Of registered men
in the shrortest possible time. To that
end they have been informed that no
legal precedents bind them and that
there need be no adherence to rules
of evidence or other technicalities of
court procedure.
Attorney General Gregory set in mo-
ton today further machinery to in
crease the size Of the registration res
ervoir from which the 6S7, 900 men OF
the first call are to be drawn.
Thousands Rounded Up
Thousands of men failed to regis.
ter 1t has been found, for one cause
or another. Through the district at
torneys, the department of justice is
rounding up these men and when
found they will be assigned numbers
which will insure their being called
up for examination at an early date
They will be given the serial numbers
of men near the top of the list al.
ready permanently discharged fol-
physical reasons.
The first reports of the local boards
on physical examination are beginning
to appear. AS yet, however, they are
not complete enough to make any log.
ical deductions to the probable av.
erage of rejection for this reason. The
draft satisfies of the civil war, which
showed between rs and 30 per cent re.
jected on this ground, still are the
best guide on the question. Such fig.
ures as have come from the Local
boards are in general harmony with
the old average.
The average of reflections on physi.
cal grounds in regular army recruit
ing has been far higher but conditions
are entirely different with the selec-
tive draft forces.
