ACTIVITIES OF
GERMAN SPIES IN
MEXICO GROWS
Ambassador Fletcher Will
Call Governments At
tention to Them
rs VIOLATION
OF HOSPITALITY
Propaganda and Labor
Troubles More Impor-
tant Than Leaks"
CRy Associated Press. )


Washington, Aug. $50 numer-
GUS have become the reports of Ger
man spy activities and propaganda
in Mexico that Ambassador Fletcher
is prepared upon his arrival at
Mexico City to call the attention of
the Mexican government to the links
in that country between Berlin and
German agents in the United States
States department officials do not
question the integrity of the Mexi-
can government but the reports have
left no room to doubt the existence
OF a German organization in Mexico,
whose Vaccinations may be defined
as a violation of Mexicos neutrality.
The Carranza government is believ-
ed to be disturbed by the abuse of
its hospitality and there is a feeling
here that the time Is not far dis
tant when certain representatives in
Mexico of the German foreign office
may be officially questioned as to
their activities.
How extensive the work of the
German agents has been in forward
ing information to Germany has not
been ascertained by American agents
but evidence of their tireless activity
in propaganda has been produced.
Since Carl Heynen was arrested a

activities in the United States, evil
dence has been produced to indicate
that he was intimately connected
with the German spy system there
and that the men who formerly re-
ported to him are continuing their
efforts
One man whom agents of the
United States are watching is Rich
ard Eversbusch, the German consul
at Tampico. Mr.. Eversbusch was
the partner in business of Mr.. Hey
men. the firm name for many years
by Heynen & Eversbusch.
While almost every other govern
ment has decreased the number of
its consular representatives in Mexi-
co, Germany has kept there a full
list and Minister Won Eckhar6t has
been at the capital since the over
throw Of Huerta.
The American government is not
concerned so greatly at the sugges-
ton that Mexico is used as a relay
point for military information as
over the constant and apparently
uninterrupted German propaganda
emanating from Mexico and over the
possibility of curtailment of the
Mexican oil supply. The recent
strikes in the Tampico oil region
have caused some anxiety and it has
been freely charged that they were
caused by Germans agents working
in some cases through the /. w.

ten on common wrapping paper
with pencil, the writing appearing
more that of feminine than

farewell to all was found in an old
pickle bottle tossed ashore at Beck

. It is really the tragic farewell of
some heart broken youth before he
ended his life by plunging into the
waters. The bottle was found on
the beach just about where the shore
line would have been in 1913, the
year in which the note was dated.
The state of paper showed that 1t

The bottle was picked up by Caps

Alexius hospital for the last week by
severe burns sustained In fighting
the fire which destroyed the Dakota

The bandages were removed from
his badly blistered face yesterday.
and IL is not believed that any
permanent scars will result. His
hands, which were very severely
scorched, are still in bandages. but
they are healing as rapidly as could
be expected, and the commissioner
probably will be able 10 leave the
hospital by the end of the week.
