.IhTERNEO BY j. 6.

A cousin of H. G. kulenkampf, lately
informed by the government after being
arrested in this city, has been taken
in charge by the federal officials al
New York city, and this interesting ac-
count of his detention was printed in a
late issue OF the New York Times:
-. Ks,srnhardt Kulenkampff. an
importer who is reputed to be one of
the wealthiest enemy aliens in the
United States, who is said to have been
on intimate terms with Won Bernstorff
and his two chief plot assistants, Cap
tains Won Papen and Boy-ed, was ar
rested as a dangerous enemy alien yes
terday. kulenkampff is also an officer
in the German Army and is said to en-
Joy much more than a speaking ac-
quaintance with the Kaiser and Crown
Prince. He has been in the United
states twenty years, has amassed for
tune here, yet has remained a loyal
subject of Germany. His standing is
such that it is said the German govern
ment has promised to reimburse him
after war for a small fortune he has
lost in the West Indies as a result of
Great Britains entry into the world
struggle.
kulenkampff, who is al years old,
was arrested by agents of the depart
ment of justice, who acted under in
structions from Chief De Woody An
official of the government described
Kuhlenkampff yesterday as probably
the most important enemy alien in this
country" yet for more than year he
has been permitted to enjoy complete
freedom. In the first two years of the
war kuhlenkampff is said to have been
an intimate adviser of Bernstorff He
is said to have had prominent part in

plies from American ports to German
commerce raiders in the Atlantic II
is also said to have handled large sums
of money in shis country for the Ger
mans, both before and after the out
break of the war.
Recently the Department of Justice
learned that kulenkampff had a coda
which might have easily been used to
communicate important information to
Germany. 1t was pointed out that the
war regulations of the United States
prohibit Germans from having code
books of any kind.
Agents of the government are said to
have found several important letters.
including one from Boyd. i'm which
he thanked Kulenkampff for "all the
services rendered us 1t was also said
yesterday that kuhlenkampff's books
show that at one time he had on de-
post in New York banks about $780,
600, all Of which he is said to have re-
ceived from the Deutsche Bank in Ber-
lin, of which Huga Schmidt. the in
| termed German agent, was the Amert
can representative at the time. Kuh-
lenkampff is reported to have made the
claim that he did not know who
placed the $4,000 to his credit. 1t is
alleged that much of the money was
paid out on orders issued by Boy-Ed.

after a residence of twenty years in
/ this country. replied frankly that n
had never desired to be anything ,else
than subject of the German crown
