GERMAN. SPY SIGNS
IN U. S. BUREAUS
Not Even the State Department
Has Been Safe.

Washington, April 4.-The signifi-
canoe of President Wilson's warning
of German spies "even in our offices
of government" became apparent
when it was learned that on several
occasions trails of the German secret
service have been discovered within
some of the closely guarded precincts
of the executive departments.
Although officials do not believe
that access has been gained by the
foreign agents to any information of
great Importance, they are understood
| to have been convinced that not even
the state department, with its highly
confidential diplomatic facilities, has
been from invasion.
No evidence on which prosecutions
can be based has been found, it Is
said, but enough has been revealed to
prompt a sweeping official investiga-
ton and precautions which the depart
| ment believe will safeguard its inter-
ests more adequately in the future.
In his address to congress, tie presi-
dent laid particular stress on the ac-
tivities of the German spies and a
stringent law will be one of the first
measures requested by congress by
the administration. At the last ses-
sion an espionage bill drawn by the
department of justice, was passed by
the senate. but failed to reach a vote
IA the house.
