Many Agents Captured.
Two men who carried Red Cross
passes admitted they had nothing

but in reality were working for the
communists. Ono woman similar

Dvinsk said she had been instruct
ed to deliver documents to persons
| she did not know personally,
| Most interesting of the captures
were two men en- route to Moscow
| by way of Berlin. They carried
letters concealed In their neckties.
One of them was German and a
member of the independent social
| ist party of Germany, and the other
was Swiss belonging to an ex-
tremists organization called the so
cialist democratic organization OF
young people IN Switzerland.
Standing With Soviets.
Tho German carried a letter
from the head of Sparticist orr
Eanization in Germany to NJ Tchit-
cherin, Russian bolshevik minister

Revolutionary to the Russian boil
shevists 1t Is declared that Jarl
Radek (the bolshevik propaganda
who recently left Berlin) could tes-
| Itify to the writer's communist
svmpathies. 1t was said further by
the writer that he was arranging
with the Russian bolshevist Zino-
vieff with regard to spreading COM
munlst propaganda in all parts Of
the world by special courier serv-
ice from Berlin.
Forged Passports.
Another letter seized which was
written by the same German.
stated he had succeeded in indut-
ing a staff of engravers to print
American, French and German
passports for the use of couriers
and suggested that the soviets
make similar arrangements for
couriers from Russia to Germany.
The Swiss courier carried a LETT
ter from the secretary of an or
Ganization OF extreme socialists In
Berne to an editor of Red paper
In Moscow, acknowledging the re-
ceipt OF bolshevlk literature of
Moscow, for which he said he had
made great use, and asking fur
ther supplies.
Under Interrogation the German
courier declared the German inde-
pendent socialists would attack
and overcome German government
the moment they were assured OF
support from Lenine.
