PROPAGANDA DRIVE
STARTED BY SPIES
German Agents in SWitzer-
land Malign Allies.

PARIS, May 23.-German spies and
propaganda agents have resumed their
operations in Switzerland. but their tao
tics apparently have changed, the cor
respondent of the Temps in Switzerland
writes. Instead of giving material help
TO dangerous elements In the allied coun-
tries as formerly. German agents are al
most openly engaged in various forms OF
propaganda against the allied Powers.
"A very important anti-British cam
paign has been discovered" the corre-
spondent adds. Leaflets bearing the
name of neither author nor printer are
being distributed In sealed envelopes,
even in the offices of the most important
Swiss papers The Swiss police have
recently received a great quantity of
these tracts, the German origin of when
is very apparent.
II can declare positively that a num-
ber of Germans lately arrived at Geneva
were identified as former German spies.
They are spending a lot OF money. but
II has not been possible to discover their
particular kind of propaganda. Their
presence in Switzerland. however, proves
that the German propaganda services
are far from being disorganized. 1t is
also significant that Germans who were
at the head OF the propaganda organiza-
tions have returned to their old posts"

Minutes.

Ready for Mailing.
Special Despatch to The srS.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Senate
came near breaking its own record for
spending money in a hurry when it
passed the deficiency appropriation bill
to put the War Risk Insurance Bureau
in funds again. Senator Lodge MASS. }
called up the bill. which appropriates
s45,0oo,o00 to meet the pension and al
lowance claims of the army.
1t had come from the House, and the
Senator said that its passage was iIr-
gently necessary because the 5000, 900
checks representing these claims were
ready for mailing. but must wait until
the appropriation bill made funds
available.
The bill, he said, was Identical in
amount with that which failed at the
last session. without objection it was
taken up and passed viva voce in three
minutes.
Passage Of the bill by the Senate does
not mean that the checks due sol, ers
families can be sent out yet. The bill
does not become law until 1t has beer
signed by the President. or until ter
days have elapsed after 1t is sent tc
him and he has not returned 1t with hi
veto.
The bill will be sent to the Whit,
House as quickly as possible, and II will
be up to Secretary Tumulty either I,
send 1t to Paris or leave 1t at the Whit,
House to become law without the Presi
Dental signature. Legal experts at tn,
Capitol hold that delivery to the Whit,
House Is sufficient under the Constitu
ton to make the bill law in case 1t stay
there ten days without signature. Thi
period might be cut down. however,
the bill were despatched on a fast shll
to France.
Whether the President can sign b,
cable is in doubt, but will be settle,
when Mr.. Tumulty gets the measure.

Germany announces her willingness
to enter into negotiations with the
United States, England and France
by which this could be effected
through an exchange OF stock. The

meet the heavy financial obligations
