Bureau Enrolled workers.

Branch offices of the Lebeau bureau
were established in Chicago. Cincin-
natl, Bridgeport. Detroit, Cleveland
and other cities, and persons were en-
rolled under the bureau in a military
as well as an industrial way.
The surveillance maintained by the
German Embassy over all manufac-
ture Of munitions was disclosed in a
letter written from the embassy on
March "a. 1916. by Theodore Otto. a
naturalized citizen living in Allen
town. Pa. Otto, former German Con-
sui there. kept close record Of all
the work done in the Bethlehem re-
gion.
At this Senator Sterling wanted 10

tended and punished, but Mr.. Bielaski
said all his bureau was able to do
was to keep close watch on the man.
but as he was an American citizen
they could do nothing.
Senator Nelson asked whether Can't.
Franz Won Rintelen had any connec-
ton with the financing OF Victoriano
Huerta, the late Mexican dictator.
I'VE have evidence to indicate that

he said.
Bielaski read to the committee at
length from the diary of DR.. Karl r.
Fuehr. the German agent. whose ar
tivities figured prominently in the in
vestigation. The notes of Fuehr said
that on the day following the pub,i
cation OF private letters OF II. r. AL
bert he consulted with Albert at Cedar
hurst, n. Y. and later discussed the
incident with Samuel Untermyer.
Efforts OF the Germans to create
pro-German feeling among the negroes
OF the South proved entirely unsuc-
cessful. Bielaski stated Stories were
circulated there to the effect that the
negroes were descendants OF the In
dams and that they were the rigbtfuI
owners OF the land instead Of the white
people. Another story designed to Gre
ate feeling against the English was a
perverted account OF the aid given the
South during the civil war.
The negroes didn't take to these
stories. however" Bielaski said "as
they were too loyal. Money spent in
the South for propaganda was thrown
away"

Belgians in their recent offensive cap
tured Roulers, but subsequently mad
to abandon it.
The British in their attack in Elan
ders approached Courtrai. Counter
attacks by picked Bavarians against
the French broke down under hot
fire. Thousands of prisoners have
been taken and enormous casualties
again have been inflicted on the en-
en.y. The latest reports indicate that
the British broke through at one place
and are advancing toward the Lys.
The Belgians have signalled from
the east and southeast of ROulers that
they have captured Hagebrooke, GIFTS
berg and Beverin, and that 5000 pris-
oners thus far have been counted.
The British have taken Denaap,
Boschmolen, Gulleghem, Wulvelghem
and Wervicq, and are a thousand
yards northwest of Menin.
The American troops west of the
Mouse are now beyond Cunel and Ro-
magne. Their patrols are in the Bots

lean line has reached st. Georges and
Landres-et-St. George.
In the attack by the British, Belgian
and French forces in Flanders the
troops of the three nations went over
the top after a "crash" bombardment
only.
There was no preliminary lombard
ment. 1t undoubtedly tactically sur
prised the enemy. In the British for
nations were some of Great Britain's
best troops, and the forces of the
French were of famous fighting organ
izatiOns. The Germans appear to be
prepared to retire to the Client line.
BY the fury with which the attack
was launched it was evident that the
fighting armies are not paying. the
slightest attention to the peace talk"
They smashed forward with all the
dash characterizing the recent opera
lions.
The blow in Flanders may prove to
be Marshal Foch's masterstroke. If
the allied progress is continued the
Germans throughout a wide stretch of
territory, taking in the most important
part of the Belgian coast, including
possibly the important German stb-
marine bases as well as the forces in
the entire Lille salient, either will hare
to get out or face a second Sedan.

Paris Is Suspicious.

Paris.-Paris newspapers do not
seem to enthuse over the German re-
ply to President, Wilson's note. More
space is given to the news of the mill
tary success won by the allies than to
the discussion of the German dOcu-
-n.ent. The reply is considered here
to indicate that Germany's diplomatic
front is as flexible as her military
front. Some of the commentators find
the reply so worded as to show the
hope of the Germans that it will re-
suit in cleavage between the allies.
