Regarding an effort to kill Mr..
Gerard, DR.. Alendorf said:
"This March was German whose
real name is unknown. He made six
trips to Europe during the early part
Of the war carrying as many loads of
high explosives, and then went to Ha-

American Ambassador TO Germany. l
obtained the details of this affair after

thwarting plots against other promi-
pent Americans.
II also found that the Germans were
circulating the most extravagant sto-
ries, one of which was to the effect
that Mexico had declared war on the
United States and, therefore all Mexi-
cans were free to destroy American
property, murder Americans and do
whatever else they pleased with them.
This propaganda was carried on with
the active assistance of Carranza, who
personally signed an order that Eel

War Secretary Has No
Data on Warbiski Case
Army Officers Recollection Of
German Spy on Trial on the
Mexican BrOder Is Hazy
New York Tribune
IVrob;uu<-, p,-,o,


WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Oficials of
the judge advocate generals depart
ment tonight declared they had hazy
recollection of a German spy case that
had been tried on the Mexican border,
but details of the case could not be
given.
at seems to me that there is a case
against a German spy, whose name may
be Warbiski. that is under consdera-
ton now," said one of these officers.
The case came from the Mexican Dor
der somewhere, but do not recall
from what camp"
Secretary Bakers Office could not re-
call having any information on the
Warbiski case, but it was said to be-
possible that perhaps the proceedings
had not yet been referred to Mr. Baker
for action.
1t was pointed out tonight that the
articles of war covering spying make
civilians as we'll as those in the mill
tary service amenable to ourt-martial
proceedings. The military code pro-
vides that any civilians who are active
ly attached to a military command,
such as Red Cross workers, citizens
who are in civilian capacities at army
headquarters, newspaper men serving
with troops in the field, etc, if found
to be fading the enemy" are subject
to trial by military courts.

have been sentenced to death-the only
herman spy to receive such a sentence
IN the United States.
Forced Schwiertz to Flee
Il also caused r. W. Schwiertz, an
other active German agent, to be sus-
pected of being an American spy and
forced him to flee in haste from So
nora, where he was in command Of the
proposed German Mexican expedition
into the United States which was to be
synchronized with what the Germans
hoped would be the final triumphant
drive in Europe in July, 1918. / also
established the fact that this ambi-
tious scheme was financed by Won
Eckhardt and was undertaken with the
cooperation of Carranza.
"As German captain and a Mexican
colonel | was assigned to help train the
700 German rescrvists who were to form
the nucleus of this expedition, to be
joined by Germans across the border
and by the negroes, whom the Ger
mans fondly hoped to incite to massacre
the white population of the South. and
thus prepare the way for kultur The
hasty flight of Schwiertz spoiled this
scheme.

C0rra1aSu Said to
Plan Oil SeiSt.res
Mexico Reported Eager
to End Dispute Over
Petroleum, Properties

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Officials
here are somewhat disturbed, it was
learned to-day, by an apparent deter
mlnation on the part Of Carranza and
his official advisers in Mexico City to
confiscate the oil property of foreign
ers, including Americans. in spite OF
the protests lodged with the Mexican
government by all the nations whose
nationals have investments II Mexico
Two public declarations by Mexicans
close to Carranza have expressed the
Presidents stand on this matter, which
pubNc opinion, official and unofficial
alike. except for the Carranzistas, has
declared to be vital. The opinion of
all classes in Mexico, as reported in
The Mexico City newspapers and trans
mltted to the State Department, is for a
prompt and correct settlement of the
petroleum question, which has been de-
clared to be the key to relations between
the United States and Mexico.
Newspapers and citizens, especially
those OF the educated class. according
to reports to the State Department.
urge that because Of the recognized
danger of Intervention. Mexico at least
protect foreign Investments. even if
she cannot stop the murder of foreign
citizens
Don Carlos Dufoo, the eminent Mexi-
can economist, says foreign capital is
absolutely necessary to the develop
ment of MeXico's resources, because
Mexlcans have not the capital to put
INTO the extensive enterprises, and
would not invest in it if they had it.
In the face of these demands, now
made publicly and declared to be i'm
perative, Carranza's official circles has
no notion, it is said, of protecting for
eign capital in Mexico This is borne
out by the following official statement
recently made by Ing F. Vazquez
Schiaffino, chief of the petroleum
bureau Of the Department of Industry
Commerce and Labor:
The steps taken by the petroleum
bureau have followed a programme
whose main points may be summarized
as follows: To engage in work of
propaganda and diffusion of all data
relating to the petroleum industry SO
as TO interest national capital and to
invite the attention of Mexican indus
trials. professional men and workmen.
IN order that they may play an active
and important part in the development
OF this industry, making it in a short
time an essentially and genuinely
Mexican industry"

Guard Service Agreemenf

MEXICO CITY. Aug 23.--An impor-
tant step toward the adoption of meas
ures tending to prevent clashes be-
tween Mexico and the United States
was taken last night when Luis Ca
orera, Secretary of the Treasury and
generally regarded as the mouthpiece
of the present administration. said in
q press interview that the Mexican
and American governments should sign
an agreement for a reciprocal border
guard service
4gnacio Bonilla, Mexican Ambassa-
dor at Washington, according to Senior
Cabrera, would be "eminently fitted"
for conducting negotiations with this
purpose in view, since he was a mem
Der or the Mexican commission which
met United States representatives at
Atlantic City in 1916 to discuss this
plan during the Pershing expedition
brera was himself chairman of the
Mexican commission.
According to the Secretary, the diff
hculties which prevented the adoption
OF such an agreement at Atlantic City
were due to the fact that the Amer
lean delegation wanted the agreement
signed Immediately, while the Mexican
commission held out for a withdrawal
OF the Pershing expedition before
reaching an agreement. Senior Cabrera
pointed out that at present such a
difficulty would not be met with, since
the early withdrawal of the 9Th Cav
airy, now pursuing bandits in the
State of Chihuahua, was expected.
Comment in other official quarters
tended to point out that, with recip-
rocal border service to eliminate fur
Their clashes, with the present govern
ment bending every energy to protect
foreign property and with Congress IS
about to take up the oil question, the
case of Mexico should be solved
quickly"
