GERMAN INTRIGUE
REVEALED IN COURT
TRIAL OF FORMER AGENT DIS.
CLOSES PLOTS TO INFLUENCE
U. s. POLICY.

For the first time in the history of
the United States. direct, specific
evidence-supplying names, dates
and amounts-that q foreign gov
ernment had expended hundreds of
thousands of dollars here In a care
fully prepared plan to abrogate for
eign policies of this nation and to
sway congress in the interests of an
other power is being made q part Of
the official record of a federal court.
Capt. Franz Won Rintelen is named
as the agent; Germany. a. the gov
ernment; more than 100000 a. the
amount expended; an embargo on
the shipment Of war supplies to the
Allied nations OF the prevention Of
these shipments through the corrup-
ton Of American labor as the OBJ
jects sought.
Labor Peace Council Involved.
Thet rial is in progress now In New
York, Captain Won Rintelen and
seven members of Labor's National
Peace Council being defendants,
the latter charged with being CO.
conspirators with the German ofncer
in fomenting strikes in Germany's
interest to prevent the shipment Of
war munitions and In violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law. Repu-
diation of the Labor Peace Council
and suggestion Of Interior motives on
the part of its promoters was made
by President Gompers of the A. F. Of
L. some months ago.
Federal oncers say that unless
there is an unexpected change Of
plan. Capt. Won Rintelen will take
the stand and admit payments far
greater than 100000 made by him
az ofiicial agent of the German gov
eminent sent to the United States to
accomplish the purposes named, ex-
cept the one referring to the "cor-
ruption" of labor. He will contend
that his acts were not in violation Of
federal statutes, but were legitimate
propaganda.
Largest Expenditures.
Since the war began, men charged
with being agents of Germany have
been tried and convicted. 1t has
been proved that they expended
money in their activities. But no
expenditures touching in magnitude
those made by Won Rintelen have
ever before been shown as directed
by Germany.
In the early days of this country's
history a French minister exceeded
his authority in directing illegal
propaganda in the interests Of France
but his work was disavowed by the
French revolutionary government.
There is said to be no doubt now
that every German or German-Amer-
lean in this country connected with
Won Rintelen will be willing wit
ness. Such is the captains desire.
