SP|ESWARNG GERMANY
KAISER TOLD U. S. FLEET WAS
ON WAY TO THE
WAR ZONE.
GIVEN TIME TO MINE PORTS
Navy Department Starts Wide Investh
pation--News Believed to Have
Been Sent Through Mexico
or South America.

Washington, May 2S.-The German
SPY system is in operation within the
United States army and fleet. Not only
are spies obtaining Information they
want In this country, but they are able
TO get 1t to Berlin in time for German
submarines to menace American war
ships and soldiers on the seas.
This was admitted by the navy de-
partment. Secretary Daniels announced
on Friday that word of the sailing OF
an American destroyer fiotiila for
Europe had been wired ahead to Ger
many and that German submarines
had succeeded in scattering mines at
the entrance of the harbor for which
the American warships were bound.
The following statement was Issued !:
For days before the arrival Of the
American destroyer fleet abroad Der
fin knew that the vessels were on the
way and to what port they were going,
according to advices from Admiral
Sims.
"He reports that he has positive in
formation that Germany was thus In
formed In advance, and sufficiently far
in advance that the port of entrance
of the destroyers was mined the day
previous to their arrival.
1.-THE department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German spy
system is still at work in this country,
making imperative the need OF Sc
crecy in connection with our naval
operations. The premature publica-
ton of ship movements is particularly
q source of danger.
"The department, while realizing
that the newspapers did not give this
information, would be pleased IL the
fact were brought to the attention of
editors by way Of showing what ex-
IRENE care is required In shielding
military information from the enemy,
whether it becomes public through the
press or otherwise"
The fact that the information
reached Germany with little or no de-
lay is expected TO result In thorough
investigation of the navy censorship.
It Is quite impossible, in the view
of officials, that the message could
have gone over either the British or
French cables. the only other con-
structIon being open that 1t went
first to Mexico or South America
and then was relayed by wireless.
The source of the leak" will cause
the deepest probe. 1t was admitted
shortly after the declaration Of war
that six persons suspected of spying
had been discovered in the state, war
and navy building.
AS soon as the first report was re-
celved from Admiral Sims showing
German knowledge of American plans
an investigation was instituted by
the several departments of the gov
eminent and the secret service.

DRAFT TO FILL RANKS
MILITIA AND REGULARS UNABLE
TO GET ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS
TO FILL REGIMENTS.
ARMY NEEDS 100000 MEN
Reports From Various States Show
That Recruiting Is Falling Off
Regulations Attacked in
Congress.

Washington, May 29.-The NATIONAL
Guard must be recruited by draft TO
its war strength of 100000 men
States are showing falling off in vol
unteer enlistments.
The prospects also are that men
between twenty-one and thirty years,
inclusive, will have to be drafted be-
fore the summer is over TO enable the
government to bring the regular army
to its full authorized war strength.
Army regulations for war registra-
ton are under attack already in the
house. Representative Ware of Phil
adelphia, by resolution, wants ellmina-
ton of the section requiring state
ments of reason for exemption with
registration. He contends it is I'M
wise and unnecessary and leaves open
for criticism of lack of patriotism. His
resolution probably will fail.
Since April l there have been 49,
$40 men recruited for the army out
of total of 1889 needed to bring
it to full war strength of $4,000 men.
Unless recruiting, which has shown a
decline during the la.;t week, takes n
squirt. 1t may be necessary TO resort
to the draft.
Latest reports reaching the militia
bureau of the war department show
that recruiting for the National Guard
not In federal service is not holding
Its own. During the last ten days -
states reported gains In NationaI
Guard recruiting. while ten states, the
District of Columbia and Hawaii re-
port losses. The net result Is loss
of 500 men.
The chief factor In the loss is Ohio.
where the National Guard units not
in federal service have dropped from
651 officers and 1O,S24 men on May 10,
to 440 officers and 8,002 men on May
20, loss of 1893.
The last available figures on the
strength of the National Guard In the
federal service showed that May l
there were 1854 officers and 6S,560
men. There are about 100000 men in
the grand units, which are to be
drafted into the federal service be-
tween July Is to August s.
To bring the National Guard TO
full war strength of 100000 men would
require the addition of more than 200
600 recruits. Prospects now are that
this additional 100000 cannot be OBJ
tanned without the draft.

Rlbot Tells Frances Aims.

The ruling powers in Russia, IL they
can be called such, cling to the idea
that the other entente allies can be
brought to adopt the policy OF a peace
without annexatons or indemnlties
and desire conference for the pur-
pose Of modifying the demands to be
made on the central powers. Premier
Ribot's reply 10 this Is that restoration
of lost provinces" is not TO be consld-
cred annexation, and that indemnity
for ravages in invaded lands Is con
trlbutlon which Is inflicted as a fine
for wrong done, u requirement which
both law and equity demand. France,
he said, could not Cypress any nation
atty even that of It's enemies, and It
seeks, not vengeance, but justice.
