GERMAN PROPACANO|STS
ARE ACTIVE IN CHINA
Government May Find 1t Nee
eSSary to Intern All Teu-
tons for Life of War

PEKIN, Sept 0.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press German plots
to promote internal trouble in China
are being disclosed almost daily. and
the situation is so serious that China
Undoubtedly will find II necessary to
intern many Germans and Austrians,
if not all of them. before the END of the
year. The allied ministers are eX-
tremely uneasy over the situation.
China. with its lack of adequate
communication, and with it's great ter
ritory, offers a fine field for German
plots. For many years German agents
have carried on commercial undertake
ings in Tibet. Turkestan. Mongolia and
other interior parts of China. Conse-
quently they speak Chinese fuently
and have great influence with the lower
classes.
Through the German and Austrian
legations in Picking their interior
agents have been supplied with money
to stir up dissention. They have
aroused the Mohammedans in western
China by telling them that this is a
religious war designed to eliminate
Turkey and Accommodation. Similar
arguments have been used among the
Mohammedans in southwestern China.
In Mongolia the German and Aus
trian. agents enlisted many bandits in
the monarchical movement and have
done everything in their power to I'M
dermine the influence of the Picking
government The work of the agitators
has been more effective in Mongolia
than elsewhere. as they have been able
to harass the transsiberian line by
encouraging the Mongolians to move
north into Siberia and Manchuria and
to attack railway towns. Russa's mil
itary forces are somewhat limited now
in eastern Siberia. and consequently the
transsiberian line is seriously threat
ened by the Monaghan uprisings.
German agents also have been able to
assist many German and Austrian war
prisoners to escape from Siberia into
Mongolia, and thence into other parts
of China.
The Russian minister in Picking,
Prince Koudacheff, recently addressed
a communication to the foreign office
setting forth in detail the activities Of
pernicious German agents, particularly
those operating in north China. His
mans have been a3ie to defeat the
efforts of Russian consuls and other
Russian officials to keep conditions
quiet in Mongolia and Manchuria.
FALSE RUMORS AFLOAT.
German propagandists have fabri-
Gated many rumors concerning the con-
ditions in Russia and the progress of
the war on the western front. They
have been able to get these printed
very widely in Chinese newspapers,
creating much misunderstanding be-
tween China and the allies, and have
prevented the Chinese in many parts
OF the republic from rendering hearty
support to the allied cause.
Much of the German propa ganda has
been traced directly to the German
banks and prominent German CONNER
cial men in Picking and Tien Tsin.
Both the British charge d'affaires and
the Russian minister have named the
leading German intriguers in letters to
the foreign office and suggested their
internment

WILLIAMS FAITH
IN HUMAN NATURE
IS SADLY ALTERED
He Paid One Hundred Dollars
for Those Kegs, Expecting
But This Story Is Too Terri
BILE for Headlines

From the narrowing experience of
Will Robinson, a saddle-cOlored indi-
vidual more or less familiar to the po-
lice authorities on account of his pre-
vious association with contraband
liquor, it may be safely stated that
ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain" are not peculiar to the heath
en- Chinee."
A member of his own race is the
cause of Williams sadly altered opinion
of human nature in general.
William a few days ago bartered
surreptitiously with a colored citizen
residing in an adjoining county, who
was to furnish sixty gallons of moon
shine" at a stipulated price, for distri-
button, via the bootleg route, to Will
liam's customers in Atlanta.
Tuesday afternoon there were sew
eral kegs delivered by the party of the
second part near Buckhead and Will
Iiams was on hand with a couple of
helpers to carry the beverage to some
safe haven in Atlanta. About 800 was
paid over to the said party Of the sec
ond part as an installment on the pur-
chase price. and he Immediately de-
parted, whereIpon William and his as
sistants proceeded to load the kegs on a
vehicle brought for that purpose
In the course of this operation. the
bung fell out of one key, and William,
in replacing it. found his fingers
mostened by the liquid within the re-
ceptacle. Desiring to test the strength
of the ''moonshine," he brought his
olfactory organ into play. but found to
his establishment that the kegs con-
tanned nothing but rather brackish
water.
Outraged beyond description. he COM
planned to the county police, who are
on the trail of the base deceiver.
