Washington, May 2S.-Four days
before the American destroyer fiotil-
la arrived abroad Berlin knew il was
on the way and TO what port 1t was
going and the day before the vessels
steamed into Queenstown German
. submarines had strewn mines about
the harbor entrance.
This startling information, reveal
ing that German spies not only still
are at their work in this country, but
that they have swift means of
communicating Americas war sec
rots to the fathreland, came TO the
Navy Department today in a cable
gram from Rear Admiral Sims at
London.
The Admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his possess
sion, nor about the precautions which
Sdefeated the German plans and en-
abled the flotilla TO speed safely thru
the mine fields.
Reach Port May 10.
Immediate publicity was given the
4 salient fact, however, the department
making clear that its purpose was to
let the people know of the activity
and success of Teutonic spies and to
emphasize the necessity for absolute
secrecy in connection with naval
operations or shipping movements.
The destroyers, now aiding in the
hunt for Submarines in European
waters under the direction of Ad-
miral Sims, put into port at Queens
town on May l6. How long they
were in crossing the Atlantic or from
what port they sailed never has
been annunced, and until word of
their arrival came by cable only a
few popie in the United States even
knew of the Governments decision
to send warships TO Europe. No
official would comment tonight on
the possible means by which the news
was conveyed to Germany. If il did

Move to Appease Vatican
or Empires Catholics,
Says DR.. Fallen
Hundreds May Return
Dean johnson Looks for Edu-
cational Institutions to
Spring Up

Germnny's abolition of her anti
Jesuit law, which for forty-fve years
Rad denied members of that order the
right Of residence in the empire, is in
terpreted by DR.. Condo B. Fallen, an
editor of THE Catholic Ency o,ep.tis'
as desperate play, either for the syni-
patty Of the Vatican or for the closer
support Of the So,OOO,Oo0 Catholics in
Germany.
IF the Emperor hopes to gain sup
port from Rome by extending the hos
pitality Of his domains to the Jesuits
at this time. he will, Of course, hope in
vain" DR.. Pallen said. "The whole
thing is too evidently a political
scheme.
zone can only surmise what other
motives lay behind this sudden move,
which is Of much more significance
than people generally realize. For
many years the restoration of the Jes-
uits in Germany, whence they were
tanished in 1872 at the instance Of Bis
marck, has been big issue with the
powerful Catholic party in Germany.
Many concessions TO the Catholics have
been made in late years by the En-
peror and his advisers, but repeal OF
the anti-Jesuit law has always been
resolutely refused.
THE reason is obvious--the Jesuits
are primarily a body of teachers, and
their activities have always conficted
with the dominant German idea of al
lowing the state full control of educa-
ton.
1.-THE fact that the governing party in
Germany has now agreed to let the
Jesuits return shows tremendous force
is being exerted from the inside. No
doubt the unrest within the empire, Of
which we hear only little, has some
thing to do with this political move,
which will be welcomed not only by
German Catholics, but by Catholics
everywhere"
Dean r. II. johnson of Fordham Uni
verSity sees in the repeal a splendid
victory for the Centre, or Catholic,
party in Germany. He does not believe
the move was play to Rome.
"The immediate effect Of the repeal
of the law will be that Jesuit schools,
colleges and institutions will spring up
throughout the German Empire, if the
exiled Jesuits can make their way back.
There are hundreds of priests in Aus
tria, Holland and Belgium ready to
cross into Germany and begin their
work where they left it forty-five years
ago.
"At the time of the expulsion, Jesuit
property worth millions of marks was
confscated. We have had no intima-
ton as to whether this will be restored.
But we are certain that the same party
which has brought about the repeal OF
the law will make il its business to see
that some of it is returned"
