10 reports made to the State Depart
ment. Agents Of the Kaiser, it is said,

country materials which eventually find
their way through the blockade, across
neutral countries and into his empire.
These men arc not all Of German ma
tionality. Among them arc many
Swedes. Norwegians, Hoilanders and
citizens Of other neutral nations. Most
Of them are spies, but their activities
in sending supplies TO Germany are
second in Importance only TO their work
Of gathering information.
Secret Service officials'have learned
Of several ways in which the United
States unknowingly is sending aid to
her antagonist. For some time past
Norwecians have Deen purchasing here
n waste product in the manufacture
OF sugar. known as sugar house
syrup" The purchasers have asserted
that the fluid was used as fertilizer

tilling it the Germans obtain alcohol,
essential to the manufacture Of smoke

Fertilizers also have been purchases
here in large quantities. These have
been found 10 be saturated with OIL
which the Germans, in desperate straits
for greases Of oil kinds, are extracting
for use in their factories and Tor
various purposes at the front.
German agents have not stopped at
the mere sending of supplies. They
also have been strengthening Germany
financially. A continual stream Of gold
is pouring into the Kaiser's domain
from the United States. German bank
ing houses and business firms are said
10 be behind this enterprise. The gold,
it is understood, is shipped TO Cuba,
Central America or South America.
From there il is exported to some Eu-
ropean neutral, who sees that Germany
receives IL.
Ii is believed that the government is
taking steps TO check this expectation.
and has under consideration plan for
exacting permits for the shipment of
gold from the country.

Arrest Of several prominent German
agents, as we'll known in the financial
district as Rudolf Hecht and Carl
Heynen, waits only on word from
Washington.
Some of these agents Of the Kaiser,
while long under suspicion. had man
aged 20 conceal their activities under
a mask of professed neutrality since
this country entered the war. II was
not until the government officials be-
can TO wade through the vast mass Of
books and papers seized when Heynen
and Hecht were arrested that proof
that they were still serving the Kai
ser was found.
Score of Germans Suspected
Federal officials here are chafnG

mans on the suspect lists Of local Fed
cral officials have powerful friends.
financially and politically. who are
working TO prevent the internment Of
these Teuton agents. None Of these
suspects can be arrested by the local
officials until Washington gives the
word. Washington has had under con-
sideration for upward OF a month the
names Of at least a score Of promi-
rcut Germans Of this city. according
20 a high Federal official.
lt is understood that some OF the
documents seized when Hecht was ar
rested in the banking Offices Of Chan
dler & Co., Of which he was vice
president. showed that he kept in
close touch with other German bank
ers Of this city.
The government authorities hope 70
find IN Hecht's papers proof to con-
firm their belief that when he came
here in 1913 the money he used 10 en-
ter the banking business came direct
from the Wilhelmstrasse.
His known intimacy with Dr. Helm
rich Albert. the Privy Councillor Of
the German Embassy. and the bag
man" OF the German spies and propa-
gandists in this country. was the chief
reason for the governments suspi-
cions that he was merely a tool OF the
Kaiser, although he declared his in
tentions Of becoming a citizen Of the
United States four years ago
Friends OF Hecht tried 20 see him
yesterday. but permits were refused.
This gave rise 20 the story that his
wife, who was well known 20 Cincin-
natl society "a Miss Marjorie Reakert
and is friend Of Princess Murat, one
81 the Stallo sisters would not be per
mitted 70 see him.
William Obey. head Of the local
agents Of the Department Of Justice,
said that Hecht and all other inteFned
alien enemies would be permitted 20
see their relatives and friends, as has
been the custom.
