GREAT RUIN

PLAN TO DESTROY

Government Believes That
054
Carborundum Was
to Be Used

New York, Sept. 27.--Plans to wreck
the machinery in munitions making shops
in America at the bidding of German
agents in Europe are believed by the
police to have been defeated through the
arrests of about 100 Germans and Ger.
man sympathizers in raids which began
here last night and were continued 10.
day.
This forenoon the aliens, each guarded
by a detective, were placed in automo-
bile vans at police headquarters and left
for Ellis island where, it was announced
they would be interned, probably for the
duration of the war. Nearly all the
men arrested are mechanics. A number
were employed in munitions plants and
on navy contracts. In the possession of
some were found quantities of pulver
lied carborundum, a substance used to
destroy delicate machinery.
The men had been under surveillance
for many months, according to the po-
lice. Suspicion is held that the carbon
undum reached here from German agents
in Scandinavian countries. A German
courier in Norway, arrested some months
ago with carborundum in his possession,
according to police information,
that he had been sending the substance
to Germans in countries at war with
Germany.
