RIO DE JANEtRO AUG. a.
German settlers iu the Brazilian
province Of santa Cathariua are
seeing things"
Recently the newspaper 'Jr"ald-
bote Of Blumeuau. caused excite
ment among the colonists by issuing
warning against alleged Amer
,,,r spies The warning Was
based on report OF the Brazilian
paper a Note. stating that an
American naval officer. under the
assumed name of Connolly was
travelling along the coast from San
tos 70 Rio Grsnde 70 select suitable
points Of support for the American
squadron now cruising in Brazilian
waters 20 hunt for German sea
raiders.
Although this explanation was
main enough the "Jrwaldpote
boldly claimed that the American
officer was selecting landing places
for United states troops which would
be sent against the German colon
,sts 10 drive them from Brazilian
soil. because the government IN RIO
de Janeiro could not be induced TO
make war on the German citizens
Of the republic.
few DAYS later the paper threw
another scare into its readers by
publishinc the following new warm
ing
The American emissary Mr.
Connolly. has been followed 10y an
other spv who calls himself Dr'
ernest Brecht and claims 10 be

institute. This alleged German
American shows suspicious interest

oroninent citizens to make treason

.iop and the raising of the German
esv 20 them. The man is spy ana
stooIpige0u. Beware of him.
Dr. Rrecht promptly demanded a
retraction Of this accusation with
,hs result that the editor Of the Ur-
zaldbote published the following
statement:
