FEAR GERMAN FUNGUS.
Plot to Ruin Our Wheat Crop
Reported Reason for Searching
Dutch Steamer.
sy Associated Press to Every Evening

New York, Feb. 8.-Fhe Holland
America liner Nieuw AIMS terdam arrived
at her pier yesterday. bringing mole
passengers than any neutral vessel since
America entered the war. She did not
stop al Halifax, as has been the custom,
and because of that and rumors that some
of those on board might be here to give
aid and comfort to the enemy, passengers,
crew, and cargo are being searched thor
oughly.
Great precautions were taken by the
Intelligence Department OF the Army
and Navy and the Customs officials to
prevent anyone not authorized from
boarding the Nieuw Amsterdam and
very few persons were authorized TO
go up her gangplank.
One reason for the extraordinary pre-
cautions taken was, according to state
ments on the pier that the government had
reports OF plot to bring IN from Germany
a poisonous pollen, or fungus or some
other plant life or chemical, meant to
cause damage to American wheat and
grain crops Whether this was true or
not is unlikely to be known until Wash
ington lifts the veil of secrecy, for even
the minor officials refused absolutely
even to discuss the arrival OF the vessel
1t is also said that the officials took
the steps they did to prevent the land
ing Of spies or the delivery IN this coun-
try Of enemy communications
