SHREWDSCHENE|S
 WIPED IN THE BUD
One Hundred Germans aid SyTnpa- thizers Arrested for Plot to Wreck Machinery in MunitiOn
 PIants-TO Ellis Island.

New York, Sept 27.-Plans to wreck machinery in munition mak- ing shops in America, at the bidding of German agents in Europe. are be- lieved by the police to have been de- feated thru the arrest of about one hundred Germans and German sym pathizers in raids which were begun last night ard were continued today.
 This morning the aliens, each guarded ny q detective, were taken to Ellis Island, where 1t was an nounced, they will be informed, prob ably for the duration of the war.
 Nearly all of the men arrested are employed in munition plants and on navy contracts. In the possession of some were found quantities of car borundum in pulverized form, an abrasive used to destroy the bear ings in delicate machinery. The men knew one another, had held various meetings at which police and navy department agents were present un- known to them, and had been under surveillance for many months, ac- cording to the police.
 The suspicion is held that the car borundum reached here from Ger man agents in Scandinavian coun- tries. Emphasis was placed on the discovery of this abrasive, some of it in imitation of lead pencils, in pos session of German courier in Nor way, some time ago. This agent ad- mitted, according to police informa- tion, that he had been sending car- borundum to Germans in countries at war with Germany.

MONROE DOCTRINE
 OF TIE FAR EAST
apan Will Defend China Against the World. Says Viscount Ishii, and Will Herself Follow Rule
 Agreement Satisfactory.

New York, Sept. 29-Proclaimlng Monroe Doctrine of the Far Easb Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese Mission to the United States, warned { the nations of the world tonight that his country will not tolerate aggres- sions against the territory or inde- pendence of China At the same tune he pledged Japan not to attempt similar aggressions on her part.
 Circumstance for which we were in no sense responsible gave us cer- tain rights on Chinese territory viscount Ishii said, but at no time in the past or in the future do we, or will we seek to take territory from China or to dispoil China of her rights.
 Always to Help China.
 We wish to always to continue to be the sincere friend and helper of our neighbor, for we are more inter- ested than enyone else, except China, in good government there. Only we must at all times, for self protec- tion, prevent other nations from do- ing what we have no right to do. We not only will not seek to assail the integrity or the sovereignty of China but will eventually be prepared to defend and maintain the integrity and independence of China against any aggressor. For we know that our own landmarks would be threat ened by any outside invasion or in- tcrference in China.
 ! While he warned the world against any attempt to invade the rights of the republic of the Far East Wis., count Ishii promised that the door to legitimate trade in China never would be closed by Japan. | Viscount Ishii attributed to Ger man machinations sinister rumors of oppression or the false sugges- tions of policy directed against China whenever Japan or America appeared to make progress m that country.
 Agreement Satisfactory.
 He said that the "gentleman's agreement" entered into by Elihu Root, then secretary of state, and 1 mbassador Takahira, should be suf- ficient guarantee of continued friendly relations between the two nations.
 l Gentlemen, Japan is satisfied with this" he exclaimed Are your" ] Referring to the alliance between America and Japan in the war, he said:
 1 Tt is not conceivable that America and Japan, our ideals one, our pur- pose fixed, can fail in this great common understanding. We must win so that when peace comes the hosts of immortal dead may rest in honor and the hosts of living thru ont all the centuries to come may place the unbreakable seal of per- manent approval on the great al- liance of today which forever sets a whole world free.n
