HUN AGENTS FREED
German Officials Arrested in
Frisco During War.
Were Engaged in Plots Against
England and United States.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 5.-Offi-
Gals of the federal penitentiary to-
day awaited instructions for release
of Eckhart H. Won Shack and Franz
Won Bopp, former consul general and
vice consul general for the imperial
German government at San Francisco
who it was announced have been
granted paroles. 1t was said the for
mer German agents probably would
be set at liberty during the day.
The two German plotters We're
brought to the prison in the summer
of 1918 to serve sentences of five
years for violating the neutrality of
the United States. They were con-
vfcted of setting up on United States
soil a plot to overthrow British rule
in India with the object of weakening
Great Britain's effort in the world
war.
Besides the Hindu revolt plot, other
conspira cies charged against the two
consular agents included issuance of
false clea rance papers to ships carry
ing supplies, to German commerce
raiders in the Pacific; the blowing up
of barge of dynamite in the harbor
at Seattle; a plan to set on foot within
the United States a military expedi-
ton against Canada. Blowing up a
Canadian Pacific tunnel in British
Columbia and the st. Claire tunnel at
Port Huron and plans to destroy fac
tories, railroads and shipping in the
United States.
The revelation of the Hindu plot
came shortly before the United States
entered the war and the trial took
place in January, 1917.
The two prisoners became eligible
for parole several months ago but
after hearing before the parole board
their applications were not granted.
Representations We're made to
Washington recently by the Swiss gov
eminent in behalf of the former Ger
man officials and two weeks ago their
cases were brought before the parole
board again. A Favorable report then
was made to the department of justice.
resulting in their parole, according to
prison officials.
Both are expected to return to Ger

it appear that his advocacy of some

PARSONS CUSTER CASE UP.
Supreme Court Today Hears Argu.
ments in Suit Against City Officials.

The supreme court today heard ar
guments in the custer suit against
Mayor P. T. Foley and F. NJ. Boyd,
police judge of Parsons. Arguments
were based on findings of Tom Harley
of Lawrence, commissioner appointed
by the court to take testimony in the
custer proceedings.
Charges that Mayor Foley voted to
give public printing to a shop in which
he was financially interested and[that
he Joined with the police judge in a
compromise of liquor law violations,
were dominant features of the COM
plant. Harley's report to the court
was decidedly in favor of Foley. 1t
indicated that law enforcement was
better in Parsons than it had been at
any time in recent years and virtually
recommended dismissal of the suit.

The controversy between the

Again and again the two nayies
were arguing how the war Should

Of shortening the war was to COM

the same kind of tactics on land.
He believed in Marshal Foch from
the first. He didn't hesitate to ap-

liticaI mnd- slingings this year but
Of one thing the public can rest
assured. The standardization isn't
going to allow the American war
record 70 b beclouded. Admiral
Sims started something when he
began his criticism iof the navy de-
partment. Practically all the adj
mirals of the United States navy
who were on the other side took
issue with him. It is not a per-
sonal controversy. It is really a
difference between the American
and the British way Of going at the
war. At this end, 1t was suspected
that Admiral Sims became saturat-
ed with the British viewpoint.
OF course it had been charged,
particularly by the friends Of Irish
freedom, that President Wilson was
thoroughly English" and that he
was constantly under British infiu-
ence. The covenant of the League
OF Nations has been denounced as
Wilson British" 1t would not be
surprising, therefore, if the admin
istration took the public into it's
confidence on some of the troubles
it lad with the British during the
war. OF course the British had
trouble with the French and so did
the Americans. Allies never can
harmonic in war time. The selec-
ton of a gene-aIissimo and the
establishment Of unity Of command

because of this friction.
