the accuracy OF our factory fires and
explosions!
From some of the voluminous COR
respondence OF DIR. Albert and his
associates the Government learned
that three German-owned companies
in this country had a practical MOI
nopoly on the ignition systems in
America. Through this combina-
tion the files OF the central office at
Berlin were kept up to date with all
plans and improvements in military
trucks. gasoline boats and aero
planes.
Here is the translation of a letter
sent to DR.. Albert fror the manager
of one of these magnetic companies:
"Honored Mr.. Albert:
In connection with the obstruc-
tion policy upon which we agreed
at the beginning of the war in mat
ters concerning deliveries of our
products. especially the special mag
neto apparatus, I should like in the
following to make statements from
which one will see clearly that the
accomplished obstruction policy has
in every way been successful.
in short, we had great difficulty
at the beginning of the war in with
holding the much-needed airplane
pparatus from the allies. and in
preventing the allies. especially the
English. from Immediately at
tempting to manufacture for them
selves. Special apparatuses are in
volved in flying machines. airships
and speed boats. These apparatuses
are very different from the normal
apparatus used on automobiles and
motorcycles. We have freely sup
piled them with ordinary apparat-
uses: but, in accordance with our
agreement, We have entered into
apparent negotiations with the
representatives of the allies, Gre
ating In their minds the i'm
preston that they would receive
also the special apparatuses at the
present time. These negotiations
began Immediately after the first
declaration of war, and 1t was pos
sible, on account of their technical
character. to extend them many
months into the war. Our policy
lulled them into the certainty that
they would receive the special an
paratus. and only now have they
realized our duplicity."

shows how Albert was striving to
use the insurance companies as a
means of obtaining the information
needed by German submarine off,
GERS. The letter follows:
Dear Sir-Inasmuch as the pool
arrangement specifies that risks
shall be underwritten only with my
approval, IL is essential that ] be
acquainted with the risks to be un-
derwritten. and that ! authorize the
underwriting of same before the
business is concluded.
Il have no desire to create any
hardship for you in the. handling or
the Insurance business for the pool.
My approval, however, is a part OF
the pool arrangement. and a way
should be found which will enable
me to dispose of my duties in con-
nection with the pool satisfactory to
the German interests and to myself.
II would. therefore. request that
when a steamer to Scandinavia starts
oadinG a request be sent to me from

Many of DIR. AIbert's personal let

to the day of his sudden death. in
November: 1917.
1t was Schweitzer, SO various of
the stolen letters indicated, who
originated the idea of the purchase
OF the New oYrk Evening Mail
for purposes of German propaga-
ganda. When DR.. Albert was about
to return to Germany in 1917 he
turned over to Schweitzer the sum
of s1,178,SS2.Qs. all to be spent by
Schweitzer for work of espionage
and propaganda.
Among the more pretentious plans
of Germany in the United States, as
revealed in these papers. was the
organization of a mammoth marine
insurance combine. which, while
German owned and sorganized with
money furnished, through DR.. AL
bert. by the German government
itself. was to be cleverly disguised
as an American company. All the
stock was to be held by directors
bearing American names. Among
thase mentioned In the correspond
ence as persons who could be dealt
with in such a project in perfect
safety. was the name of a former
high government official.
Inc purpose OF this herman ma
krine insurance combine was far
reaching. In the first place. they
would underbid all British and other
companies and try to gain a monop-
oily on the marine insurance busi-
ness in the United States. How, one
may ask. could they afford to un-
derbid all other companies?
Information Transmitted
To U-Beat Com mnnders.
Simply because the German gov
ernment could well afford to pay
large premiums for the informa on
it would thus get regarding sailing
schedules. cargoes and manifests Of
all shipments TO the allies from the
United States. This vastly important
knowledge was to be promptly
pa assed to the commanders of subma-
rines. Then they could be told not
only which cargoes IL would be par
ticularly desirable to sink, but also
which ones il would be for German
interests to spare.
A report OF the proposed opera
tions of this combine was submitted
some time ago to the Senate inves-
tigating committee known as the
Overman committee. by Charles F.
De Woody, then superintendent OF
the New York Office of the Bureau OF
Investigation
