Arrest About 100 Germans and
Sympathizers and Send Them
to Ellis Island.
PLANS TO WRECK F0ILED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 27.-Plans to
wreck machinery in munition making
shops in America at the bidding of Ger.
man agents in Europe are believed by
the police to have been defeated through
the arrest of about 100 Germans and
German sympathizers in raids which, be
gun here last night, were continued to-
day
This forenoon the aliens, each guarded
by detective, were placed in automo-
bile vans at police headquarters and left
for Ellis Island, where. it was announced,
they will be interned probably for the
duration of the war.
Nearly all the men arrested are mech
anicians. A number are employed In mu-
nitions plants and on navy contracts.
In the possession of some were found
quantities of carborundum in pulverized
form--a chemical used to destroy dell
cate machinery. The men knew one
another. had held various meetings at
which police and Navy Department agents
were present unknown to them, and had
been under surveillance for many months,
according to the police.
Sources of Explosives Suspected.
The suspicion is held that the car
borundum reached here from German
agents in Scandinavian countries. En-
phass was placed on the discovery of this
chemical, some of it in the form Of lead
pencils, in possession Of German
courier in Norway some months ago.
This agent admitted, according to police
information. that he had been sending
carborundum to Germans in countries at
war with Germany.
In the roundup. which started shortly
before midnight. more than 200 city de-
tectives and patrolmen were engaged
Little difficulty was experienced in find
ing all Of the men on the lists sent out
from headquarters. and with one ex-
ception there was no resisting by the
men wanted.
Suit cases filled with papers, bundles
of various sizes, boxes. tools parts of
machinery and contrivances having the
appearance of explosives, all seized in
the raids, were scattered about on the
floors of offices at police headquarters.

Economic Theories of Past Up

FUTURE TO BE AFFECTED

When the historian Of the future
writes of the epoch marked by the ses-
sion of Congress now drawing to
close ne will marvel at the character
and extent of the revolution wrought in
the economic policies for the governing
of the people of this country. Within
the period of six months these trans
formations will have occurred, changes
so radical that their effectuation would
have seemed almost chimerical prior to
their actual undertaking and compare
lively easy accomplishment.
Analysis of the laws enacted in these
few months will show strides in the
direction of paternalism in government
which would have heretofore been
considered indeed incredible. Delegation
to one man of powers never exercised
hitherto In the United States will have
been witnessed to an extent not dream
ed Of In America, yet yielded ungrudg-
ingly. The historian will look in vain
to find the ruler of any other civilized
people of these times possessing the alb
solute and autocratic authority granted
gladly by the American Congress to
this nations chief executive.
