Sff'f ~"
Washington, Sept. 24.-How Ger
many 'shamefully abused and ex
plotted" the protection of the United
States by secreting in the German
legation at Bucharest, after the Amer
lean government had taken charge
of Germany's affairs at the Rumanian
capital, quantities of powerful explo-
sives for bomb plots and deadly mic.
robes, with instructions for their use
in destroying horses and cattle, was
revealed by Secretary Lansing.
1t was another of the series of Mr.,
Lansing's disclosures of German in
trigue, made public without comment
in the same manner as the Won Lux
burg kilograms, which have brought
Argentina to the verge of war with
Germany; the Won Eckhardt letter
from Mexico City and the Won Bern
storff telegram asking the German
foreign office for authorization to
spend $4,000 to influence Congress.
The latest story is told in a report
to the State Department from Will
liam Whiting Andrews, secretary Of
the legation at Bucharest, and a let
ter from Foreign Minister Porumbaru
of Rumania.
Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display of great precautiOn aroused
the suspicious of the Rumanian gov
eminent. On Aug. 81, 1916, the even
ing prior to the date of Rumania's
declaration of war, some Of the cases
were taken to the German legation,
located in a different building from
the consulate.
Convinced that the boxes were not
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on its de-
parture from Bucharest, the Ru-
manian authorities later ordered the
police to find and examine their con
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search.
Fifty-one boxes were taken from
the ground in the garden. Fifty of
them contained each a cartridge filled
with trinitrotoluene saturated with
mononitrotoluene, among the most
powerful explosives known, one-fifth
of each n being sufficient to tear
up a railroad track.
In the other box were bottles of
liquid found to be civilizations of the
microbes of anthrax and CHAMBERS.
1t bore a seal showing it came from
the German consulate at Kronstadt,
and inside was found a
note in Germany saying:
in closed (4) phials for horses and
4 for cattle. To be employed as for
arranged. Each phial is suffi-
cient for 200 head. To be introduced,
if possible, directly into the animals
throats; IL not, into their fodder.
Please make a little report on the sue
cess obtained there; in case of good
results the presence of Mr.. Kostoff
for one day here would be desirable"
Foreign Minister Porumbaru accom-
his letter with documents to-
prove the origin of the boxes and their
contents.
