INVESTIGATION

NOGALES. Jan. lS-Reports from
Mexico City indicate that The Ger
man conspirators there are being
uncovered. one newspaper coming
out boldly with broad accusations.
The paper claims to have indisputa-
Die proof that German agents paid
Mexican deputies certain sums Of
money and that propaganda work
vas fostered by other Mexican Off
cials in the interest OF the Kaiser.
1t has long been known that Mex
leo City has been the roosting place
for German agents who use that
country as a basis for gathering in
formation against the United States
and fomenting trouble between this
country and the sister republic.
That president Carranza has not
been blind to this subterfuge is evil
dent. judging from expressions in
the Mexican paper II is also ap-
parent that large paper of this
kind would hesitate to make such
startling accusations unless 1t was
backed up by the necessary proof.

Every such technical deserter

There are provisions made to pro-
