Instruction
How German Vice Consul Plot:
ted In Philippines
NOW CAREFULLY WATCHED

White Women Said to Have Been
Offered Natives as Prizes For Re-
voIt-HeId by Government For a
While, but Released For Lack OF
Evidence Against Him.
Washington, Sept 1S.-That Ger
man intrigue has reached into the
Philippine islands and sought to create
insurrection there has been learned.
Conrad Andre, German vice consul
for Cebu, Iloilo and other islands,
was detained on charge of trying
to create a disturbance" which was
In reality an instruction. Taken to
Manila to escape an angered mob,
Andre was held there for some time
tive evidence, though he is still I'M
der careful government watch.
Andre surrounded himself with a
number of Filipinos and sought to
gain strength for the insurrection by
promising the Filipinos, among other
Julu5S, any WulLC WOlAOA III SCOu
they wanted If they would rise
against the Americans.
This was in April, shortly after the
United States entered the war When
this angle of the situation became
known the residents of Cebu were so
incensed that there was talk of lynch
ing and Andre had to be hurried out
of town to escape violence.
In addition to the instruction Andre
was suspected of trying to establish
a submarine base in an out Of the
way corner of the islands. Suisse
machine shop outfit was detained off
the islands.
At one time in the course of Andres
Vaccinations he travelled around the
islands on an American ship, bearing
a trunkful of papers, which he did
not wish British naval vessels to
know about. The papers, however,
were secretly photographed en- route
and the pictures are said to be In
the possession of the American gov
eminent.
Again, Ondre was in an automobile
accident which threw him and mys-
ferrous looking bag short distance
from the car. The bag was missing
when the debris had been collected,
and while Andre apparently suspected
the papers therein had fallen into no
friendly hands, he was in no position
to protest.
Andre, the youngest of the consuls
and vice consuls in Cebo-the second
city in the Philippine Islands-had
been particularly active In building
up German trade. He was agent for
the North German Lloyd and for
big German commercial conceTn
which was trying to force British
capital out of the rich trade with the
islands.

gotten for herself and at the same
time taken from her enemies. Thus.
this extra burden of supplies for the
allies had been placed upon the
United States. Furthermore, In this
connection 1t may be noted that In
spite Of the allied advance in the west,
Germany to date has not given up one
inch OF valuable territory. The war
of attrition going on in the west is not
enough OF itself to bring about the
end of the war in many years.
Il tell you these things that you may
realize the seriousness Of the crisis
through which we are passing. You
must realize that we are in a combat
that will require real health and all
our physical wealth that we may avoid
England's present lack Of an adequate
medical force. Further, We must pre-,
vent any internal disorder. We mus,
nerve and prepare ourselves for every
form of sacrifice that a great people
may have to make in n great cause.

every injunction issued by the Council
of Defense. Give recognition to auth
