HouU Editor Rathom
Exposed German Plots

John r. Rathom, editor Of the Prov
idence Journal, who was the guest OF
honor at the convention Of the Canad
ian Press Association in Toronto last
week, addressed the association on
Thursday night. Mr. Rathom Is ad
dress revealed for the first time, in
detail, the astounding part played by
the Providence Journal, since the be
ginning of the European war, in un-
covering German plots against the
peace and security Of the United
States; in fastening upon high Of
ficials of the German Embassy at
Washington direct responsibility for
acts of violence carried out in a
friendly country, and for system of
espionage and intrigue so amazing as
TO read more like highly eolored fiction
than actual fact.
The story OF how members Of the
staff of the journal were able to fol,
low every move made by the principals
in the German conspiracies of violence;
how one member of the newspaper s
staff had actually served as seere-
tary to the German Ambassador, and
: how a young woman sten0grapher en-.
plOyed by the journal had been given
a position in the office Of theAustrian
Gonsul.General in New York. and had
succeeded in cleyerly trapping Capt.

Cottage Grove Road
Plans Are Criticized

The state highway commission has
been criticised for making an appro-
priation of $4,000 to Lane county with
which to help gravel five miles of road
between Cottage Grove and the Doug
las county line.
Now comes the Eugene Guard with
criticism of the Lane county court
for not wanting an appropriation for
hard surface when it could have been
obtained.
II the question is not too imperii-
nent, asks the Guard, we would like
to know for the benefit of the people
of this vicinity why the road between
Cottage Grove and the county line is
not going to be paved, when it would
not have cost the county one cent more
and the burden of maintenance would
have been shifted to the state instead
of remaining with the county:,'

of their plotting policy.
For the United States Government
the Brooklyn Navy Yard had had in
structions to keep close watch OF
the Sayville and Nantucket stations
but nothing suspicious was ever re
ported until Mr.. Rathom took some Of
the messages which he had received
from his operators, TO the State Depart

navy yard operators had been in the
pay of German agents in America, and
had been told not to hear too much.
Ingenious Codes.
The codes used by the Germans were
Of the most ingenious nature. Many
of them pretended to be stock quota

funeral directions. In some eases, how
ever, the codes showed evidence of the
green blubber, referred to by the
speaker as on one occasion when Mr..
Rathom was able to go to President
Wilson and show him copies of eight
separate messages sent by the wireless
plant within nine days. all relating
that "little Emily" had died of such
and such an illness, in certain part of

OF the room, the name Of the relative,

messages,
Green Blubber In Brain.
The first revelation which Mr.. Rath-
ON told illustrated the German ca
pacity for blundering. II was the
story of Werner H0rne-the man who
was responsible for the attempt to
blow up the Yaneeboro Bridge. Horne
had been detected as German spy
by one of the Journal reporters in
New York. In an effort to disguise
himself, Horne allowed his beard to
grow for three days, put on an old suit

When asked later by Mr. Rathom why
he had been foolish enough to travel
first class in such shabby dress, Horne
replied that he was a German officer
and gentleman, and always travelled
in the best style.

'Another Incident he continued,

one of our most valued and keenest
