"The N'em- York World" publishes to
day an article exposing plots which it
says have been carried on in this coun?
try by high German officials an.I their
| agents, aimed not alone at the heiliger
! ents, but "in some instances at the
laws of the United States, as well."
The article says in part:
"The facts set forth are based upon
correspondence exchanged by lepre
1 sentativea of the German government,
its agents and sympathetic allies in
this country, which has come into pos
! session of 'The World.'
"This correspondence reveals unmis?
takably that the leading officials of the.
German government have had a hand
in the promotion of ventures directed
not alone at its belligerent enemiei
with whom it is at war, but, In
instances, at the laws of the I nited
; States as well.
Cerman Chancellor in Seerel
"The most surprising fact m this
connection is that no les.?- a per
than Herr von Hethmann-Hollweg,
! Chancellor of the German r'mpire, has
1 actually participated from Rerhr. in
some of the secret undertakings of h.s
government in this country.
"The facts .?.et forth in the corre?
spondence show that the chief actors
selected to perform the duties aBl
to them are:
"Count Johann von Rernstorff, the
1 German Ambassador at Washington;
Captain Franz ron Tapen, the mili?
tary attach? of the embassy;
"l>r. Heinrich F. Albert, the chief
fiijancial agent of the German govern

"Herr Hugo Schmidt, Western repre
i sentative of the Deutsches Hank of
I Berlin;
"Hugo Schweitzer, a German-Ameri?
can chemist;
"S. Sulzberger, a banker in Frank?

"Herr Waetzoldt, trade representa?

j country;
"Agents of the German Bureau of

ous oth?r agents who are not officially
identified, in the public view, with the
German government.

"The linancial features of the under?

shown to have been cared for by the
Deutsches Hank of Berlin, S. Sufzber

Germany; the Guarantee Trust Cora
1 pany of New York, Heinrich F. Albert,
Hugo Schmidt and Hugo Schweitzer.
The magnitude of >ome of the trau-..?'
; tions suggests expenditure of a very
large sum ?if money every week, one
estimate based upon pretty accurate
knowledge of these tranaactiona fixing
I the figure ut $2,000,000. The tranafer
from the Imperial Interior Bureau
through the Deutsches Hank to the
credit of the German Ambassador in
this country of $1,100,000 is mail
I;, for tin- USB of the SCCKt service
maintained by it here.
"The disclosures contained in the
correspondence, the authenticity of
which has been clearly established,
show that the German propaganda had
for its purpose the involving of the
United States in the complications of
the Kuropean war; that the plans de?
signed to accomplish this result were
carefully and deliberately projected, ef?
ficiently organized, superbly executed
ami adequately financed.
"Every move made in furtherance of
the general German propaganda and ?>f
specific undertakings is rhown to have
bees performed under th?' peraonal di?
rection of the German Chancellor, its

Plea to Mexico Made Public;
More Troops Go to Brownsville
FULL TEXT OF APPEAL TO MEXICAN LEADERS.
The Mexican people are informed that the
following communication has been sent to many
prominent persons in Mexico who possess au?
thority or military power within the republic:
Washington, August 11.
The undersigned, the Secretary of State of the
United States, the Ambassadors Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of Brazil, Chili and Argen?
tina, and the Envoy Extraordinary and Ministers
Plenipotentiary of Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate?
mala, accredited to the government of the United
States of America, acting severally and inde?
pendently, unanimously send to you the follow?
ing communication:
Inspired by the most sincere spirit of Amer?
ican fraternity, and convinced that they rightly
interpret the earnest wish of the entire continent,
they have met informally at the suggestion of the
Secretary of State of the United States to con?
sider the Mexican situation so as to ascertain
whether their friendly and disinterested help
could be successfully employed to re-establish
peace and constitutional order in our sister re?
public.
In the heat of the frightful struggle which for
so long has steeped in blood the Mexican soil,
doubtless all may well have lost sight of the
dissolving effects of the strife upon the most vital
conditions of the national existence, not only
upon the life and liberty of the inhabitants, but
on the prestige and security of the country. Wc
cannot doubt, however?no one can doubt?that
in the presence of a sympathetic appeal from
their brothers of America, recalling to them these
disastrous effects, asking them to save their
motherland from an abyss?no one can doubt, we
repeat, that the patriotism of the men who lead
or aid in any way the bloody strife will not re?
main unmoved. No one can doubt that each and
every one of them, measuring in his own con?
science his share in the responsibilities of past
misfortune and looking forward to his share in
the glory nf the pacification and reconstruction
of the country, will respond, nobly and resolute?
ly, to this friendly appeal and give their best
efforts to opening the way to some saving action.
We, the undersigned, believe that if the men
directing the armed movements in Mexico?
whether political or military chiefs?should agree
to meet, cither in person or by delegates, far from
the sound of cannon, and with no other inspira?
tion save the thought cf their afflicted land, there
to exchange ideas and to determine the fate of
the country?from such action would undoubted?
ly result the strong and unyielding agreement
requisite to the creation of a provisional govern?
ment. whi,:h should adopt the first steps neces?
sary to the constitutional reconstruction of the
courtry and to issue the first and most essential of
?hem all, the immediate caH to general elections.
An adequate place within the Mexican fron?
tiers, which for the purpose might be neutralized,
should serve as the seat of the cc nference, and in
order to bring about a conference of this nature
tne undersigned, or any of them, will willingly,
upon invitation, act as intermediaries to arrange
the time, place and other deuils of such confer?
ence, if this action can in any way aid the Mex?
ican people.
The undersigned expect a reply to this com?
munication within a reasonable time, and con?
sider that such a time would be ten days after
the communication is delivered, subject to pro?
rogation for cause.

sunken craft and other facilities for
coping with such emergencies, the re?
port may quite possibly be true
