PLOT IN ARMY
Mention Made in Editorial of
Plot Which Broke. Out at

May and June.

Paris. Oct. 16-Leon Daudet Of
L'Action Franchise, who has taken a
prominent part In the expose Of Ger
a intrigue in France, writes under
he heading:
Il am doing my duty in the plot
against France. Every one has noticed
since the war began that there was
something rotten somewhere which de-
aged the victory Of the allies" He con-
.inues:
This something was German money
employed within the allied countries.
There was the Bolo Pasha, fund for cor
ruption of the press; the Won Buelow
fund for diplomatic intrigue. and the
Hohenlohe fund for promoting crimes
and sedition.
THE last named fund, In my opinion,
was by far the most important. 1t was
employed to promote the plot carefully
prepared for months which broke out in
both the army zone and the ear forma-
lions In May and June of this year.
This plot nearly attained the results
hoped for by the German government
