KAISER IS THREATENED

WASHINGTON, March 9. A. Mitchell Palmer, enemy property cus- todian, in an effort to break up Ger man holdings and Teuton outposts of kultur in the United States, today said if given the necessary legisla- tion he will sell the principal enemy properties in America in which Ger man government junkers are inter ested, and not disturb that of minor individuals.
 He declared that the German-Lloyd docks and property are part of the German commercial grasp upon this continent. Mir. Palmer plans to sell American property owned by the Kai ser, by Bethmann von Holwegg and the German government. He said Germany was first in the campaign to sell American property in Ger many to the highest bidder.
 Palmer told the. Senate CoInmittee on Appropriations that he was ask ing the necessary legislation, owing to the fact. that the German empire had placed a commercial chain across he United States and through it's insular possession, which now was being used as outposts for German kultur, and which made possible wid- CT espionage on the part of it's sec ret agents and sympathizers.
