Austrian Serves
in French Army to
Gan U-Boat Secrets

Paris, June 29.-An Austrian spy
sold to, Germany the French pL,ns ct
the first successful submarine.
He later helped build the kaiser's
U-boat fleets, and has been serving
during the war as an artillery officer
in the French army.
These revelations have aStounded
Paris.
The spy is known as the Marquis
Laurent Raymond Vincent o'Ecque-
Wiley. When he was arrested recent
ly. after serving for three years in
French uniform and in positions Civ
ing him unusual opportunities for
watching allied military and naval pre-
parations, charges were made that
some hidden hand had been for years
protecting him. The following account
OF his dramatic career has been made
public.
D'Esquevilley appeared in France in
1891, as a Spaniard. He studied in the
French schools; became an engineer.
and secured work in shops supplying
the French navy. He established rela-
tionships with Germany.
Plans Sold to Berlin.
All countries in the opening years of
the twentieth century were experiment.
ing with submarines. The French
models "Gymote, F." "Goubet." and others
fell short only little from practical
Submarine type.
DEsquevilley had been working
with the engineer who gave his name
to the "Goubet." In 1901 the Krupps

Goubet type.
The French then perfected their sub
marine, and the plans for their first
model, the "Aigrette," were promptly
stolen and sold to Germany.
The spy received a fee of $4,000 and
a per cent commission on future Or
ders. The French press now openly
charges that D'Esquevilley was this
spy.
In 1905 the Germans managed to
launch their first successful submarine,
built after the plans Of the "Aigrette."
For ten year following. D'Esquevilley
was working at kiel and F'iume helping
build the German and Austrian under
sea navy.
Thus it is charged that the Huns
chief weapon against the allies was
stolen from France and constructed
with the help of a spy who had OBJ
tanned secret data from French naval
engineers.
Spy Returns to Franco.
Nevertheless, when the war broke
out, this spy returned to France, Sc

even sent on a secret mission to Eng
land in February, 1915, but was trapped
by British secret service agents and
expelled from the ochntry
Yet on his return to France he be-
came an artillery officer. had access
to the centers of French munitions
manufacture, and early in -917 was
given leave to open a shipyard at Bor-
deaux for the constructionof cement
vessels" His yard was in the center of
military and naval factories. and he
had unparalleled opportunities for spy
ing.
His accusers now assert that all the
valuable naval information he obtained
was put at the disposal Of the enemy.
1t was not until late this spring that
D'Esquevilley's citizenship was finally
taken from him.
The public is now asking whether the
hidden protectors Of the spy will be
hunted down and punished also.
