KEY TO BIG GERMAN
SPY PLOT IS FOUND

San Francisco, May 15.-Vigorous
action for the overthrow Of the Ger
man secret service in America and the
arrest Of ringleaders and subordinates
throughout the country was begun by
the federal authorities acting on in
formation they said had been furnish
ed by Rudolph Flamindinghe, alleged
master SPY on the Pacific coast. Fla.
mindinghe, under arrest in Los An.
geles, is said to have given the gov
eminent agents information which, it
is believed, will result in the imme-
date roundup of virtually every Ger
man secret service operative in the
United States.
According to federal authorities the
United States has been divided into
ten districts with chief and subor-
dinates operating in each division.
Afraid to communicate by mail or tele-
graph members of the alleged spy
ring have adopted an elaborate sys-
tenn of codes which are carried by
messengers from one district to an.
other.
