German Export Plot
Charge N. Y. Oil Corporation
Is Blind Covering Scheme to
Pierce Blockade

Copenhagen, May 27.-Testimony that
a firm of oil importers, known as the
Eagle Oil Company, of New York, and
ostensibly an American firm, with head
quarters in New Jersey, was in reality
a German concern engaged in an at
tempt to evade the British blockade
and Danish regulations against re-
export of oil, has been given in suit
of Won Krogh, the company's manager
in Scandinavia, against Danish in
surance company for insurance money
on a consignment of oil seized by the
British.
Former employees of the company tes-
tilted that its American incorporation
was merely blind, the name having
been selected owing to its similarity to
that of bona iide American concern,
and that the minutes of alleged meet
ings of the company had been fabrl-
Gated. They testified also that the COM
pany was "a Hamburg concern, owned
by Won Krogh and two Germans. The
company, they said, among other things
ordered a consignment Of mineral oil
mixed with a small proportion OF arc"
matte oil. This was done, it was tes-
tined, to fool the customs authorities
and permit of the re-export of the oil
to Germany as cosmetic.

Ottawa, May 27.-"Cabinet recon-
struction, which was forecasted yester-
day. is coming" says "The Ottawa Citi-
den" "When Sir Robert Borden next
week brings down the CONSUMPTION bill,
or before, he will make a statement to
the House, setting forth what he pro-
poses TO do" The political situation
here is unusually interesting, and what
Premier Borden and Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier will say in the House this week Is
looked forward 70 with great specula-
ton.
"The Citizen" speculates as follows
regarding the situation:
-Four, perhaps five or six, OF the
present ministers will step out. An
equal number Of new men will come in.
Whether this new blood. designed TO
strengthen and revitalize the ministry
and to relieve a small group of the
whole burden of responsibility, Will
come from within the ranks OF the
party or from the Liberals is uncertain.
Both courses are probable. but much
in fact, a great deal-depends upon de-
velopments in the national emergency
which seems TO be brewing from the
proposal of compulsory service.
"The ministers, who, it is reported,
may step aside, owing TO the exigen-
cies of the war, include Frank Coch-
rane, Minister Of Railways; Martin
Burrell, Minister Of Agriculture; Dr..
Roche, Minister Of the Interior, and T..
w. Crothers, Minister Of Labor. There
may be one or two more.

trip, when an accident to his motor
stopped the power, compelling him to
make a speedy spiral descent to the
ground. But the captain says that his
machine will be in shape for another
attempt next Wednesday afternoon.
