band of spies were exploded when
government agents found that love
affair between one of the women and
a neutral diplomat in Washington was
the real basis of the activity of the
four, which had brought them under
the observation of the department of
justice
The full disclosure is withheld by
the government out of consideration
for the neutral diplomat and his asso-
ciates.
The four under arrest in New York
gave their names at Madame Despina

Belville and Count Robert de Clair

1t is now disclosed that what were
thought to be mysterious. code letters
fund in a safe deposit box of one of
those under arrest were love epistles,
couched. in gentle terms with hidden
meanings which hard headed investi-
gators at first failed to recognize.
Officials here declare that the gov
eminent has no definite evidence of
spying to lay against any of the four,
but that the complicated tangle of
personal relations with men high in
official and social circle makes it ex-
pedient to export them. 1t has never
been disclosed fully where any of the
four got their money, although it is
now said that one of the women had
some wealth of her own.
For many months the four have
been under surveillance, at first be-
cause of suspicion that they would
prove to be agents of an enemy gov
eminent.

Immaterial What Reply
Holland Makes to y.
S. Demands.
TO SEIZE DUTCH
SHIPS TOMORROW
Confiscation Scheduled
For Last Monday But
Was Postponed.

Washington. March 20-Hol-
lands reply in the shipping ne
gotiations is on the cables, the
government was advised today,
and is expected to arrive be-
fore night.
The American government
Immediately prepared to take
over the ships tomorrow.
The nature of the reply was not
disclosed, pending the issuance of a
proclamation by President Wilson,
which had been prepared in advance
and was awaiting only news of the
conclusion of negotiations in London.
The America and British govern
ments were ready to take over all
Dutch vessels in their waters on Mon
day, but seizure was delayed here
pending word that Holland had acced-
ed to their demands. Whatever the
reply however, it was said, the ships
would be taken.
Seizure was delayed chiefly because
of desire to show every courtesy to
the Dutch government, but it has been
indicated for several days that neither
the United States nor Great Britain
would go through another long series
of negotiations.
London, March 20-The conditions
laid down by the Dutch foreign min
lister for the acceptance of the de-
mands of the associated governments
as regards the taking over of Dutch
shipping are not likely to be accepta-
BILE to these governments, according to
Reuter- dispatch from The Hague,
filed yesterday. 1t adds, however,
that a concession may be made to the
extent that'the arming of the Dutch
vessels may not be insisted on.

END OF GERMAN
CONTROL OF METALS
Alien Property Custodian
Takes Over Control Of
Another Property

Washington, July 23.-The govern
ment has taken another step to smash
for all time the German control of the
metal industry in this country.
Official announcement was made to-
day that Alien Property Custodian
Palmer has taken over the business OF
L. Vogelstein and company and Baer,
lSondheimer and company. both German
owned metal concerns ON Broadway,
New York.
The assets of the companies are re-
spectively $9,00O000 and $5,O0O,00O
and both, according to investigation by
the custodian, were "closely affiliat-
ed with the German Metal Gesselschaft,
which for some years has dominated
the entire metal market of the world"
With the American Metals company
(the large enemy interest which has
already been seized by the govern.
ment), the two companies taken over
today controlled most of the principal
metal and smelling companies of this
country.
The enemy interest in Stallforth and
company, New York dealers in silver
bullion, another link in the German
metal trust, also was seized today. f.
Stallforth, principal stakeholder, is
now interned at Fort Oglethorpe,
The Vogelstein company owns half
interest in the National Zine com
pany, the entire stock of the Cuba Cop
per company, the Copper Leasing com
pany and the Norfolk Smelling com
pany, and 10000 shares of the Miner
ais Separation American Syndicate,
Limited. 1t also has large holdings in

disappearance having again led to the
report of his death-have another kick
in them. But it is problematical wheth-
er they have time, even>if they have
enough reserves left, to save the day
between Scissors and Rheims.
There is no doubt there will be an
other German drive, somewhere, with
the balance of their reserves, but it
will be a forlorn and dreary one.
The war, so far as Germany is con-
eerned, is being fought out in the Sois-
sons Rheims battle, with the odds fav-
oring the allies. The most optimistic
view of the situation is that, while all
the German armies are not imperiled
by the allied counter stroke, it is only
a sample of what the latter have got up
their sleeve. And they haven't begun
to play their cards.
The London newspapers no longer
are cautious in their statements. They
say the Germans are whipped and
that S all there is to it.
