Washington.-Ofic advices re-
ceived in diplomatic circles here say
the German Emperor is so deeply
concerned over the magnitude OF
Americas war preparations that he
recently summoned Won Hindenburg
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollwega and
others to secret conference to dis.
cuss the peril OF Germany's cause
which resulted from Americas action.
Interesting accounts of the effect this
conference has had on German Off.
cials are included in the diplomatic
despatch, which contains information
gathered from German officials in
Berne.
1t appears the Kaiser is now be-
ginning to appreciate the full weight
Of what participation OF the United
States may mean. German official
dom is frankly staggered by the scope
Of this nations war programme. The
placing Of the entire nation on a war
footing, the despatch OF military and
naval forces to Europe and the de-
termination OF America to devote her
entire resources to the prosecution
Of the war have opened the eyes OF
the German officials.
AS result the whole German war
programme may be radically changed

is getting ready for final test on
the field of battle before starting an
other effort to sound the nations on

1t is said, will be directed against one

The German General Staff apparent
ly is desirous of launching the drive
before the United States can get any
appreciable army in the field.
German officials are understood to
realize that a long drawn out war
is bound to defeat the Central Powers.
There still remains the hope in Ger
many that the U-boats may win the
war by starving the Entente into sub
mission, but this hope is not so strong
now as IL was six weeks ago.
1t would. however. be a grave mis-.
take to imagine that Germany has
given up hope OF succeeding in her
submarine campaign. In response to
inquiry in the Reichstag the German
Admiralty has replied that there is
no reason to believe the U-boat cam.

Washington.-The nation is awak-
ening at last to the menace of the
German spy system.
In Washington authorities are begin
ming to consider an active campaign
to rid the nation of the menace. One
OF the first steps taken will probably
be the establishment of a censorship
over the outgoing cables. The cable
companies are now being consulted in
the matter
Two representatives OF the German
government in New York, Carl Heynen,
and his assistant, F. A. Borgmeister,
were arrested by Federal agents and
sent to Ellis Island. All papers in
their office were confiscated.
New Jersey police also arrested two
suspects. One of these, DR.. Johnathan
Zennick, a wireless expert and former
German army officer, was brought to
New York from Trenton, and after
examination was also sent to Ellis
Island.
Investigations conducted among the
diplomatic corps in Washington have
led to the belief that these organiza-
tion were to be swept clear of all pos
sible spies at once. 1t is believed
that Heinrich Schaafhausen, whom
Count Won Bernstorff caused to be re-
tanned by the Swiss Legation when the
United States severed diplomatic re.
