1t is important to note that
no official announcement Of any

Some of those concerned with

expressed such a hope, but
those who hold the reins and

that should the sales agency be-

Probably the popular impress

out of the speed with which

DECLARES GERMANS
ARE STILL PLOTTING

NEW YORK, Sept. 7-Francis
P. Ga1van, former alien property
custodian, now president of the
Chemical Foundation, speaking to-
day at the International Confer
ence of America, British and Can
adan chemists, charged that Ger
man agents in America are once
more plotting against our security,
our prosperity and against the
health Of our very children" "The
times are too tense with danger
for passive tactics" he continued.
"On one side we have the same old
crowd of German agents, masquer-
aiding as good citizens. On the
other side we perceive American
citizens supporting the German in
trigues. In Congress we hear and
stand aghast at the ignorance and
malicious outburst of certain legis-
latures unmindful of their coun-
try's welfare. Their voices are the
voices of the elected representa-
tives and senators in the American
Congress, but the hands that mani
pulate them are the hands of the
German dye trust, the most power
full monopoly ever formed by man.
