FO|LED BIG
GERMAN PLOT
Men Arrested In New York
Planned to Cripple Ships.
CHEMICALS FROM TEUT0NS
About One Hundred Aliens Taken,
Many Of Whom Had Carbon
undum, Used To Destroy
Machinery.

New YOrk-PlanS to wreck ma
chinery in munition making shops in
America at the bidding of German
agents in Europe are believed by the
police to have been defeated through
the arrest of about 100 Germans and
German sympathizers in raids here.
Nearly all the men arrested are ME
chanics. A number are employed IN
munitions plants and on navy con
tracts. In the possession of some
were found quantities of carborundum
in pulverized fOrm-a chemical used
to destroy delicate machinery. The
men knew one another, had held varl
Gus meetings at which police and Navy
Department agents were present un
known to them, and had been under
surveillance for many months, accord
ing to the police.
The suspicion is held that the car
borundum reached here from German
agents in Scandinavian countries. ETa-
phasis was placed on the discovery OF
this chemical, some of it in the form
of lead pencils, in possession of Ger
man 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.
Some of the men were arrested, it
was said, at the headquarters of the
Industrial Workers of the World, but
the majority were taken from their
homes
In the roundup more than 200 city
detectives and patrolmen were en-
gagged. Little difficulty was expert
enced in finding all of the men on the
lists sent out from headquarters and
with one exception there was no re-
sisting by the men wanted.
Suitcases 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.

agents have charge of further devel

which two naval ensigns, five mem
bers of the aviation corps and a re-

plicated in reasonable operations with
Lieut.. Erwin Frederick Schneider, OF
the German Navy; his companion
Theodore Kasinger, both in military
prison here, and four Austrian army
officers held in Leredo, Texas.
Naval officials Immediately threw
the utmost secrecy about further op
erations which are expected to result
in arrests at any moment. Action
of the Navy officials is now centered
in Southern California, it is believed
where one of the Naval ensigns is
stationed at San Diego and one of the
aviation members is enlisted in the
training camps there.

WAR APPROPRIATIONS BOARD.
Congress Urged to Provide Single
House Committee.

Washington.-Creation of a single
House committee to control all ap-

is proposed in a resolution introduced
by Representative Fitzgerald, who de-
clared he would urge immediate ac-
ton on the proposal, as he regarded it
as the most important and impera-
tive need of the time"
THE purpose of this resolution is to
concentrate during the period of the
war all appropriations in single COM

gerald. Since Congress convened in
Arril the Committee on Appropria-
tions has passed upon estimates ag-
gregating more than $10,00O.OO0, 10000.

London.-Germany has agreed to
eyacuate Belgium on certain cond1-

from Berne.
Germany, it is stipulated, must have
the right to develop her economic
enterprises freely in Belgium, especi-

Elementary note to the Vatican, re-
plving to the peace initiative of Pope
Benedict 1t was in the form of a
verbal communication rade by For
eign Secretary Kuehlmann to the
papal nuncio at Munich, wherein the
Foreign Secretary specified the con-
ditions under which Germany was will
ing to conclude peace on the basis of
the evacuation of Belgium. The YER
bal note to the papal nuncio said Ger
many would contribute a share of the
compensation to be paid to Belgium
for war damages. Belgium would be
required, it said, to give guarantee
that any such menace as that which
threatened Germany in 1914 would in
future be excluded.
Belgium must undertake to maintain
administrative separation of the
Flanders and Walloon districts intro
duced by Germany, the verbal note
says, because this separation CORE
fo wi Of nf
the Belgian people and because Ger
many desires such separation on ac-
count of racial sympathy.
A semi-oficial communication in the
German press in explanation of the
new German proposal says the govern
ment Intentionally avoided stating
more clearly the conditions thus out
lined These conditions are said to be
compatible with the dignity of Bel

Germany avoided mentioning the
question of the throne, because this

The principal question is how the
guarantees enumerated can be formu-
lated.
Any peace worth having cannot be
found in a cessation of active hOstil-
tiles, followed by a process of terri
tOrial bargaining to be embodied in
protocols and pacts, and still less in
an arrangement imposed either by vic
tors or vanQuished which sets at de-
iance the historic traditions, asrira-
tions and liberties of the peoples af-
fected
Ex-Premier Herbert H. Asquith, who
has recently returned from visit to
the western front, made this declara-
tion in addressing a mass-meeting at
Leeds under the auspices of the War
Aims Committee. He described the
German reply to the papal note as
teeming with "nebulous and unctuous
generalities," but giving no indication
that Germany will take any practical
steps to open the road to real and
lasting peace
Was Germany ready to restore
French territory and give Belgium full
independence, without fetters or reser-
vations? he asked. A definite reply to
these questions, he said, would be
worth whole column of "pious plati-
tudes."

MAY DETAIN ALL AMERICANS.
Germany Doesn't Want Any News to
Leak" to America.

The Hague, March 2S.-The Asso-
ciated Press has been informed from
an absolutely authetic source that
the German government will ask
American officials and relief workers
of the American Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium to submit to period
of news quarantine" the time not
to exceed four weeks, in order to
prevent military information from
leaking out.
The time would count from the day
the men lay down their present
charges and notify the authorities in
Brussels Of their readiness to depart.
They will be asked to assemble at
some center, like Liege, or prefera-
bly, German city, such as Cologne,
Karlsruhe, Or Munich, which they
would not be allowed to leave for
the period mentioned.
The news quarantine" would ap-
ply equally to Brand Whitlock, the
American minister to Belgium, and
his staff, whom the German govern
ment, since the break in diplomatic
relations, regard on the same footing
as relief workers, although personal
ly in the case OF Mr.. Whitlock the
period of detention as a matter of
courtesy, might be shortened. After
the quarantine" has ended, 1t Is stat
ed that no obstacles will be placed in
the way Of the departure Of the Off,
cials and relief workers by any route
they may choose.
