SECRET MAIL TO BERLIN
Arrests Made in New York In
Alleged Conspiracy.

New York, June 3.--An under
ground mail route between the
United States and Germany through
which it is limited important develop.
ments in this country have become
known to the Kaiser's government
has Deen uncovered by the United
States and New York police authori-
ties. Three arrests we're made this
morning.
While no statement was made to
the effect, it is presumed the docu-
ments revealing the information so
keenly desired in Berlin found their
way into Mexico and were communi-
Gated across the sea from that coun-
try, There is a large possibility that
the authorities are about to learn the
medium through which Germany
learned in advance of the departure
of the American destroyer fotilla for
British waters.
The illegal mail route, it is learned
has been used for some time and it is
admitted the discovery may reveal q
situation of serious proportions. More
arrests may be made at any time,
The three prisoners are American
citizens, two native-born and one
naturalized citizen of Swedish de-
scent
Their names are withheld by the au-
thorties but the trio was kept under
close guard at police headquarters
throughout today and closely ques-
toned. During the cross examination,
additional reports on what the secret
service men and the police had discov-
cred kept arriving and it is believed
the prisoners we're made to answer
questions along any new line devel-
oped,
The prisoners will be arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
Hitchcock tomorrow. but for the time
being and pending further investiga-
ton no hearing will be held
AS evidence against disloyal Ameri-
cans the department has come into
possession of a large number of docu-
ments. Considerable of the mass
bears Mexican date lines and post
marks and much is written in Ger

Assistant District Attorney Knox ex
planned that the three men are de-
tanned on charge of conspiring to
evade the law of the United States
which forbids anyone carrying mail
along routes over which the govern
ment has established routes. The ar
rests were made under the conspiracy

losses in cereal ships has been only
6 per cent. according to a statement
made 60 Tie Associated Press yester-
day by Kennedy Jones, director of
food economy. The ministry of food,
he added, has made allowances for the
loss of 25 per cent. OF this kind of
shipping.
When the ministry of food took
account of stock at the last of March,
Mr. Jones said, it appeared Great Brit
ain would reach harvest time with
only three-weeks' supply of cereals
on hand The outlook is now much
brighter. on account Of the success of
voluntary rationing and the great re.
duotion in submarine losses, and it is
continued until then.
Great Britain is now better off in
supplies for two weeks than was the
case a month ago. Mr.. Jones said it

cAar4NAL GIBBONS FOR BONDS
Urges Clergy to Make Loan Appeals
to Pensioners.


In an open letter to the Roman
| Catholic clergy at Baltimore yester
day Cardinal Gibbons strongly ap
| proved the Liberty loan, and asked
| that they urge their parishioners Sun
day to subscribe to it, Cardinal Glib
bons says
when a nation finds itself facing
condition Of war, and all its attend
ant horrors, doubts and fears, it is
incumbent upon us all to take coun
sci one with another to the end that
the best interests of the state and its
citizenship may be conserved and
through our clergy TO help disseminate
whatever knowledge may be neces-
sary in the peculiar conditions con-
fronting us. In order that the pres
ent aims ard objects OF our country
shall be fully financed and our nation
al interests safeguarded, the govern.
ment OF the United States has deemed
IL advisable to issue certain securi-
tics which are called Liberty loan
bonds and which will bear interest at
the rate of 3 l-2 per cent. per annum.
The security is the full credit of the
United States of America and for the
specific reason that some OF our peo-
pie may not understand or perhaps
may not have gone into the matter
as fully as they should, | would lay
stress upon the fact that these bonds
are supported by the honor, credit,
business integrity and actual proper
ty Of the community at large.
These undertakings are the best
evidence we can give TO the world
that we are firm in the faith and I'M
swerving in our devotion to the cause
of our country and those who have
joined with us. IL will prove that we
are single-minded, and that we know
no dividing lines in cases where the
general welfare is to be considered.

the clergy of the archdiocese that
they do all in their power to further
the work. to the end that these bonds
