batteries were being badly outclassed, but the
shells themselves were Of an uncommonly deadly
type, far more effective than those made in
Europe. European munitions makers used cast
iron for shell castings; the American manufac-
turerS used steel, ribbed and grCoved so that
when the shell burst the casing few into thou
sands of razor-edged pieces. Furthermore, the
use of steel increased the explosive force of
the shell.
Army leaders urged the navy to use sub
marines to prevent shipments Of munitions from
crossing the Atlantic. The navy pointed out
that the government had refused. at the out
break of the war, to build enough submarines
to make such a move effective-a surprising
disclosure, in view Of the use Germany was
to make of submarines later onl
THUS, at last the German government de-
cided to take active measures in America
to interfere with the munitions export-and
Capt Won Rintelen, who travelled in America
and spoke excellent English, sent over to
take charge Of the campaign.
Efforts were to be made to buy up large
quantities Of munitions, II possible, so as to
keep them out Of the hands Of allied agents,
and the captain was supplied with large
amounts of money to accomplish this But it
was understood that other measures were to
be adopted, too, and before leaving Berlin Capt.
Won Rintelen remarked "Iu buy what can
and blow up what can't"
Disguised as Swiss commercial traveller,
Won Rintelen got across the Atlantic and
reached New York in the Spring Of 1915. He
began by going to representatives Of munitions
manufacturers to see If he could buy enough
shells and powder in the open market to Grip
pie the allies. The rate of production, however.
made this quite impossible
within few days" he wrote II was salts
fed that 1t would be quite impossible to buy
up the vast quantities Of explosives that were
now available in the American market. The
daily production was so great that II had
bought up the market on Tuesday there would
still have been an enormous fresh supply on
Wednesday.
There remained, then, the other course OF
action-sabotage, Capt Won Rintelen speedily
took it.
AS blind for his operations he opened an
export office IN New York under the name Of
E. v. Gibbons, and invited market quotations
all kinds Of raw materials from various
American producing firms. At the same time
he got in touch with the German merchant
sailors from the German liners which had been
1nterned in New York-men who were idle and
who could be relied on to strike . blew for the
Fatherland.

Sir William, Reginald Hall, Englanfs
famous spy catcher, through uhose eff
forts Capt. pon RinteIen Was fnally
caught.
CHORTLY after this, Capt. Won Rintelen
y met German chemist, DR.. Scheele, who
had devised ingenious bomb. 1t was made
of hollow tube Of lead about the size Of q
cigar, divided into two compartments by thin
copper wall in the middle. One compartment
was filled with picric acid, the other with some
highly inflammable liquid, and the ends were
then sealed with lead caps
Within a few days-the length Of time de-
pending on the thickness of the copper wall
the acid would destroy the barrier between the
compartments. The two liquids would then
mix and intense hot fame would shoot out
for a foot from each end Of the tube,
setting fire to whatever was nearby. Further
more, the resulting heat would melt the lead
cylinder that trace Of the bomb would
remain.
Won Rintelen set DR.. Scheele to work to make
quantities Of these He also enlisted number
Of the German merchant sailors to help smuggle
the bombs abroad ships which were to carry
munitions to France, England and Russia.
They. in turn put him in touch with number
Of Irish stevedores on the New York water
front,-men who hated England passionately
hamper her efforts
So the work began. The bombs were snug
gled into the holds of munitions ships.
To avert loss Of life, the captain had his
men place the bombs, not in the holds where
the explosives carried, but in other parts
OF the ships, such as the coal bunkers. This
really did just much good, since when fire
broke out the ships captain would instantly
flood his munitions cargo to prevent an ex-
ploson, and the cargo would be ruined.
The work went rapidly. Ship after ship
mysteriously caught fire at sea.
In case, says Capt. Won Rintelen, did
these fires cause loss Of life, due to the pre-
caution Of putting the bombs elsewhere than
in the holds where the ammunition was stored:
but in case did a ship which one Of
the tncendiary bombs went of deliver her

4 T is afternoon Of August 4, 1914. Capt.
Franz Rintelen of the Imperial Ger
man Navy is ordered to go from the Ad-
miralty Building in Berlin to the foreign
office to receive an important piece OF news.
He reaches the foreign office, is shown
into big room where sit Sir Edward Goschen,
British Ambassador, and James w. Gerard,

Sir Edward sits erect much distressed Ger

only peaceful country in the world will soon

Then as Capt Won Rintelen watches the
two diplomats at this fateful moment, Foreign
Minister Won Jagow enters and hands MIN a
sealed envelope. Back to the admiralty hurrles
Won Rintelen to hand the envelope to his senior.
The senior reads it, then calls the great wire

moment later, to every ship in the German
Navy goes the message:
War with England!
OAPT Won RINTELEN knew that this
~ would mean active service for him; but
he expected, naturally, that it would mean
active service afioat, clad in his country's uni
form He had not inklng that fate was to
put him far from the scene Of carnage, in a
peaceful country; clothe him in civilian garb
and compel him to direct one Of the most as
founding espionage plots yet recorded.
For Capt. Won Rintelen was sent TO America
to direct the campaign by which, before Ameri-
ca entered the war Germany sought to break
down American shipments of munitions to the
allies.
Capt. Rintelen has told his adventurous
story, at last, in book, THE Dark Invader.
In this book Just published by the Macmillan
Co he tells how his agents used torch and bomb
In a neutral country in an effort to bring vic
tory TO the Fatherland.

Break for D. @.

It takes no great amount Of
foresight to realize that the
naming of Philadelphia as the
site of the 1888 Army-Navy foot
bali games comes in the nature
Of a break for Washington.
New York or some city even
farther away from washington
might well have been selected.
Chicago had wanted the contest
as q Worlds Fair feature.
The Army had the say for
next fall and was popularity sup
posed to have been in favor
Of New York. In fact there
were those who would have
given you odds the game would
go to New York next fall. The
thfee-hour rail jump to Phila-
delphia is right down Washing
tons alley.
Last year the University of
Pennsylvania, whose field was
used by the two service elevens,
handled the game quite to the
satisfaction Of both academies
and it is a tribute to Nays
choice Of Franklin Field that
Army should have also chosen
that neutral territory.

This, anyhow, seems to be an
accepted idea along Broadway'and
naturally the boys are somewhat
agitated. particularly those VITO
are legal dependents Of foreign
fighters, wreStlers and other ath-
leteS.
Max Schmeling, the former
heavyweight champion and the

one of those affected if the pro
poSal is carried through. Kid
Chocolate, the featherwe / 6 h t
champion, would be another, while
the wrestling dodge probably
would have to undergo major al
terationS.
Some Of the boys have been
comforting themselves with the
thought that, after all. Congress
will not concern itself with a COM
paratively trivial problem like
this, proving that the boys have
failed to grasp the main or funda-
menaI idea.
Underestimate FervOr
In the first place, they under
estimate the fervor and rhetoric
of any Congressman or Senator
when properly aroused on any
given subject. In the second, they
have missed the point, which
seems to concern itself only Incl
dentally with possible revenue and
almost wholly with the need Of
keeping American money In Amer
lea.
This is q program, Of course,
that might be expected to lack a
degree Of personal appeal to such
as Mr.. Bill Duffy and his asso-
ciates and to the promoters who
have been doing rather famouSly
with Henry Di Glane, the French
Canadian whose official title is

champion in Boston. The worlds
heavyweight wrestling champion
in Los Angeles is Jim Londos, q
Greek; so the situation might very
well become acute in that direc-
ton, too.

My win was particularly graft

Aqua Caliente was too long and

Those who knew me expected to
see me play well in the recent

to contradict these theories.

I am not heavy nor am I large.
I am not a long hitter and in

sity, depend on accuracy and q

The man who is considered an

A Baseball Enigma


The second place Philadel.
phia Athletics lost $3.50, 900
last season, but this deficit was
reduced to about $4,000 through
the sale of Simmons, Dykes and
Haas. If George Earnshaw in
siSts on further undiplomatic
speech such as marked his as
lSertions last week to the effect
that the Yanks are a cinch in
1888, perhaps he can be sold
for enough to wipe out the re-
manning $4,000 which now rest
on the Philadelphia ledger in
red ink
OF course the answer to the
enigma Of a seccAd place club
dropping so much money lies in
the inability Of the Mackmen
to play Sunday dates at home:

attempt to secure permission to
schedule Sunday games at
Shibe Park and Phillies' Park

donor to the. cause Of church

said to have made q deep i'm.

so staunchly defend the blue
laws. Too, the reform organi.
cations everywhere find them
selves with less money these
times to fight their battles and
SO the outlook for Sunday ball
in Philadelphia seems bright. IF
they get it, Washington may
lose some Of its games hereto

they went all the way to Europe
to take title to the, carcass Of
Primo Camera, bringing it here at
much trouble and expense, it be-
ing necessary to wait for high
tide before they could beach it.
Since then, Carnera has hardly
brought in the change out of O
nickel and his appetite has held
up magnificently.
Mr.. Will Mccartney, who may
be designated as the Sunday and
holiday manager of Schmeling,
is also vitality interested, owing
to the fact that he has been
eating for years and, by this
time, he's a little unreasonable
about trying something else.
''They can't do that" said
Mr.. McCarney today, proving
that Mr.. McCarney has lived
his fifty -Odd years in vain. He
has become ingenious.
AS for wrestling it probably
would be hardest hit of all. For
