PLANS OF RiNTELEN TO INVOLVE
NATION WITH MEXICO AND Jap
AN REVEALED IN HIS TRIAL.

NEW YORK, May 5.-PlanS Of Captain
Franz Rintclcn Of the Germany navy to
embroil this country IN wal with Mexico
and Japan and the Intellectual efforts of
former Representative Frank Buchanan to
enlist the support of Samuel G1mperS.
president of the American Federation of
Labor, in a project Ia prevent the manu-
facture and transportation of munitions IN
this country were brought out in the con-
spiracy trial of these two men and >iN
others here Wednesday. The defendants
are charged with fomenting strikes de-
signed to disrupt the entente allies mum
ions trade in this country through the
activities of labor's national peace council,
of which Mr.. Buchanan was first prosi-
lent.
Mr.. Gompers testified he advised Buch-
nan that his plans were fooIhardy: thai
they were in conflict with the interests Of
labor and that he warned Buchanan
against association with Herman Schulteis
and Henry b. Martin. These men are de
oadants and were members OF labor'S
national peace council.
The testimony n TO Rintclen's activities
was given by John &. Hammond. an adj
vertising agent. who said that Rintelen en-
gagged him 10 carry on a pro-German pub
icity campaign.
Hammond said he gave up his work for
Rintelin when he learned that he was doing
all in his power TO bring on war between
the United States and Mexico and that
Rintelin believed it was only n matter Of
time before German diplomacy would en-
broil this country in war with Japan.
Rintelens purpose. he testified, was TO
bring on strikes 80 a. to break mp the mu-
nitions traffic.
Rintelen described troubles in Mexico
which he expected %IIuerta to stir mp n
his trump card, Hammond said. The wit
ness declared he called these activities OF
Rintelen 10 the attention of the government
and continued to meet Rintelen and listen
to his plans under direction OF Officers of
the department of Justice.

Receive Half of Collection
at Penn-Cornell Game
252 MEN IN THE UNIT

II was announced at the headquarters of
the University Base Hospital No. 20 that
half of the collection TO be taken at the
annual football game between Cornell and
Penn on Franklin Field tomorrow will go
for the benefit of the athletes in the unit
which Is to mobilize Friday morning at
Thirty second street and Lancaster avenue.
The other half of the amount collected by
Red Cross representatives will go toward
the 1thacan auxiliary. Major J, b. Carnett
director of the hospital unit. has been AS
sisted for the last week or so by Mrs w
W. Arnett and Mrs. r. Mitchell Hastings

ted wear for the boys who are enlisted in
the service. AS these women, who are mem
hers of the Red Cross auxiliary of the Uni
versty of Pennsylvania. have not had
enough time to fully equip tho unit with
sweaters, helmets, wristlets, socks and
scarfs, Major Carnett Is desirous of having
those persons who wish to assist in the work
communicate with the officers at the base
hospital headquarters, Thirty-second street
and Lancaster avenue
There are 252 men in the unit and II is
needless to state that an unlimited supply
of knitted goods will be required to keep
tho mon warm. None Of these articles will
go to waste, as those soldiers who will he
cared for by the unit will need such goods
also.
Many interesting incidents arise with the
contribution of sweaters for the members
of the unit. One man who for several years
was employed as news reporter in the
Pittsburgh police district received a sweater
recently that was knitted by the hands of
a reserve policeman. Another man, whose
