should be taken too literally, but l
have heard them spoken many times.
1t is pathetic to think how the big
men in Berlin have misled the people
about the U-boats. The U-boats We're
to win over everything. The allied
sailors would refuse TO go
to sea. England could not feed her
armies in France nor save her people
at home from starvation. America S
power would be of no account because
of the U-boats thrown across her path
and such troops as she managed to
land in Europe would starye, along

Absolutely nobody in the German

Agents Supplied With Money.

Through the German and Austrian
legations in Peking these interior
agents have been supplied with money
to stir up dissension They have arous-
ed the Mohammedans in western China
by telling them that this is a religious
war designed TO eliminate Turkey and
Mohammeda nism. Similar arguments
have been used among the Moham-
medans in southwestern China.
In Mongolia the German and Aus
trians agents enlisted many bandits in
the monarchical movement and have
done everything in their power to un-
dermine the influence of the Peking
government. The work of the agi-
tators has been more effective in Mon
golia than elsewhere. Russia's military
forces are somewhat limited now in
eastern Siberia and consequently the
Transsiberian railway line is seriously
threatened by the Mongolian uprisings.
German agents also have been able
to assist many German and Austrian
war prisoners to escape from Siberia
into Mongolia, and thence into other
parts of China.
The Russian minister in Peking,
Prince koudacheff, recently addressed I.
communication to the foreign office. set
ting forth in detail the activities of per-
nicious German agents, particularly
those operating in north China.
GERMAN propagandists have fabricat-
ed many rumors concerning the condi-
tions in Russia and the progress of the
war on the western front. They have
been able to get these printed very
widely in Chinese newspapers, creatin g
much misunderstanding between China,
and the allies. and have prevented the
Chinese in many parts of the republic
from rendering hearty support to the
allied cause.
Much Of the German propaganda has
been traced directly to the German
banks and prominent German CONNER
ciaI men in Peking and TientSin. Both
the British charge d'afaires and the
Russian minister have named the lead
ing German iutriguers in letters to the
foreign office and suggested their in

GERMANS PLOT IN China
FOR PROMOTING STRIFE.
Daily Disclosures Reported Which

Many Enemy Agents.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PEk1NG. September 10.-German
plots to promote internal trouble in
China are being disclosed almost daily
and the situation is SO serious that
China undoubtedly will find it neces-
sary to intern many Germans and Aus
trians if not all of them, before the end
of the year. The allied ministers are
extremely uneasy over the situation.
China. with its lack of adequate COM
munication and great territory. offers
a fine field for German plots. For many
years German agents have carried on
commercial undertakings in Tibet.
