WORK OF GERMAN PLoTTERS


In the fall of 1914, shortly after the
outbreak of the war, the German en-
passy established a publicity depart
ment at so Wall street, under the d.
reetIon of Wolf Won Igei. About two
years later this office was raided and
documentary proof obtained that Won
'eei was the chief spy and plotter of
vast system maintained in the United
states under Ambassador Won Bern
storff's general direction.
Taul koenig, pretending to conduct
the secret service of the Hamburg
american Steamship company from a
ne" York office, was discovered to be
IN reality one of the directors of the
German spy system in the United
states. He is now informed at Fort

with only casual supervision of their
activities, if any.

Won Bernstorff had at least a general
knowledge of the work which they
were conducting. In few cases leads
pointing toward his personal knowl-
edge of specific instances of German
violations of American neutrality were
not publicly developed. The govern
ment's purpose in not following these
leads with public disclosure was to
permit of closer examination into the
ambassadors actual participation in
them.

In that connection, officials recall
Count Won Bernstorffs action in con-
nection with the seizure in April, 1916,
of important papers and documents
at the office of Wolf Won Igel in New
York, Won 1gel's Office, ostensibly an
advertising agency. was raided by de-
partment of justice agents, who, after
struggle, subdued Won 1gel and
seized the papers in his possession.
Count Won Bernstorff at once protest
ed and demanded their return. Photo
graphic copies were made of the docu-
ments and Won Bernstorff was told
that if he would personally declare
them to be the property of the embas-
sy, the originals would be restored.
The affair remains in that state to
this day. Count Won Bernstorff appar-
emily was unwilling to take official
responsibility for the evidence of Ger
man intrigue which thus fell into the
American governments hands. The
contents have not yet been disclosed
officially, although it was not denied
at the time of the seizure that the
papers contained revelations of prime
| Importance.
The suggestion was made that, by
Organization" the ambassador might
have meant anyone of the different So
called peace societies that were active
at that time. That may have been
