Germany's Plot to Gas the World's Trade
U. S. Trade Secrets Sought
By Widespread Spy System
This is the sixth of a scries of
articles by Mr. Frost on the sub?
ject of Germany's invisible war of
economic piracy.
By Stanley Frost
"German industries must,
therefore, be constantly informed
about such facts as these (every
kind of commercial secret).
It is self-evident that for
this purpose the industrial fed?
eration will not only try to en?
ter into official relationships and
those of a semi-official.nature, but
that it will devote special care to
makrng sure of private connec?
tions which have a deeper insight
into fhe special conditions of each
( ase.''
Thus diplomatically does Herzog,
spokesman for German industrial
aggression, lay down the principle
of espionage. It is to be one of the
foundation stones of the new in?
dustrial empire for which he plans
and toward which Germany is
working.
In this, as in so many other
things, he simply states and re
eiuces to a centralized and Teutonic
system what is already the Ger?
man practice. Investigations into
German business in America show
that even before the war she liad
a practically complete espionase
system covering American business
life. It was a system that was not
"sniping"?its branches worked to?
gether, and the information they
obtained was available to almost any
I ?erman.
These investigations have shown
that, before the war, German
espionage in America covered:
Specifications and plans of all big
manufacturing plants to be erect?
ed.
Blueprints of almost all plans
for American machinery.
Every step taken concerning
chemicals, drugs and dyes.
.Movements and loading of ships
at is, our export trade.
Full commercial information
about every important American
business house.
And a great mass of miscellane?
ous espionage, covering new pat?
ents, salesmen's lists and in gen?
eral almost everything that a trade
rival could want to know.
Information Procured
By Devious Methods
This information the Germans
procured by the most devious meth?
ods. In at least one case a com?
pany was apparently formed for
the sole purpose of espionage (it
paid dividends, too), and informa?
tion it secured was promptly and
systematically forwarded to Ger?
many. In the chemical lines German
spies under the guise of experts
seeking work were introduced into
our simps, factories and laboratories.
The voluble German commercial
traveller, retting a job on the
strength of his familiarity with
languages and with some special
?eld, would send his sample cases
and the lists of people from whom
he got orders for American goods;
to his real employers in Berlin, who
would make efficient, if dishonest;
use of them.
"In many of tho large German
companies taken over by the Alien
Property Custodian," A. Mitchell
Palmer reports, "it was found after
invc tigation that espionage was
one cf the chief functions. Every
scrap < f information of commercial
or military value to Germany was
carefully gathered by the represen?
tatives o? these concerns in this
country and cuickly forwarded to
the home offices in Germany. The
German agents were particularly
keen or. feathering information that,
would nelp in Germany's commer?
cial warfare.
"Once in Germany this informa?
tion was carefully card-indexed for
the use of German manufacturers.
Bulletins of commercial information
were also prepareu and placed at
the disposal of the German manu?
facturer. In Germany the colleo
:on*of all information is unfier a
I bureau which is controlled and
' financed by the great German
banks, such as the Dresdner, the
Disconto and Reichsbank."

This bureau, known as the Schim
melpheng Institut, is one of the
most deadly of Germany's commc%
dal v/.apons. Its information ii
available only to those approved by
the banks. And it is said little
?data about it have been un?
earthed- -that it covers not only the
commercial standing, but the po?
litical affiliations, religious belief?
and ?usceptibility to corruption of
ry official of every firm whose
business is at all worth having. It

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have read with inter?
est the preliminary sketches of
Mr. Frost's stories about the pree
. ciit German menace. 1 want to
say to you that in my opinion
they arc a splendid presentation
of our present situation, and, as
far as I have gone, accurate and
entirely justified by present con?
ditions.
The. situation at this time calls
for just such a scries of articles
\ as Mr. Frost has written, and in
' order to insure their accuracy in
I detail I would be very glad to go*
over them when he iias finished
j them and make any small correc
| tions wliich the records of this
; office may justify. The wider
publication these articles receive
j the greater the public service Mr.
: Frost has been able to render.

ized espionage branch, is that of the
Orenstein-Arthur Koppel Company.
This was a branch of a concern in
Germany, which has similar branch?
es all over the world, so that prac?
tically every civilized nation has
; been subjected to the same abuse.
This concern manufactured lit," t
railways and other inside transmis?
sion equipment for factories. 11
! would bid on practically every job
: in the country. To bid it must have
. blue prints of the entire plans ol
i the factory so that it could design
and estimate costs on the equip?
ment desired. These blue prints
were regularly forwarded to Ger?
many.
Confidential Flau
Sent to German Staff
This company installed equip
ment in practically all Amcricai
munitions plants, steel plants an<
kindred concerns. It had contract!
with the Westinghouse Company
the United States Steel Corpora
, tion, the Du Pont Works and nearl;
half the big industrial plants nov
' operating in this country. The Ger
? man general staff and the commer
cial information bureau now liav.
plans of all these. The manager
of the concern are all in intern
ment camps.
Another concern that had a higl
commercial espionage value was tin
Becker Steel Company of America
This company had patent monopo
lies on the processes for makin;
high speed tool steel and suppliei
practically all of that vital materia
for America. This, of course, gav
it wide information regarding th
needs, processes and products of th
factories it supplied. This steel i
required in the manufacture o
aeroplane and auto motors and dor
, tal and surgical instruments. Th
1 control of this material of cours
also gave Germany a heavy stral
logic advantage as against America
' concerns.
Almost Every Hun
Dye Exfwrt a Spy
Almost every German dye an
! chemical expert or worker was
I spy, Mr. Palmer reports. There
little doubt that many of them ai
still located in our factories.
"The chemical industry wa3
natural centre for espionage, ar
this had been true long before ^
. entered the war," says Mr. Palme
I "indeed, long before the war began.
The relation between the German
government and the great chemical
houses was so close that representa?
tives of the industry were naturally
almost direct representatives of the
?government, and their work in this
1 country gave them unequalled op?
portunities for examining our in?
dustries from within. Customers
, of the German export houses were
constantly in need of expert advice
in regard to the processes in which
their goods were used. The advis?
ing expert supplied by the German
houses naturally saw everything,
? and what he learned was seldom
'. concealed from his government.
"After tlic war began the indus
, try became not only a centre of
1 espionage but of propaganda and
of direct governmental activity.'' It
made bombs, among other thing?.
This espionage-, of course, cov?
ered not only American drugs, dye?
and chemicals, but the whole textile
' industry, the leather business, the
printing trade, through inks, ami all
other forms of business in which
! any delicate use i; made of chem
; icals.
Great advantages for espionage
i over the mining industry were nek!
b\ the Roessler-Hasslaeher Com?
pany, which supplied all cyanide i:
America, and will be discussed later
I It could tell to a pound the output
of every mine, and of course gath?
ered much other information.
Another "pipe line" was in tin
I big magneto companies, the Boscl
1 and Eisemann. Through patent?
? they had a most powerfu1 positioi
in America, and there were,few gas
] engines designed on which they elie
not receive full information.
German Spies in
\JJ. S. Drafting Rooms
There was one other form o
espibnage widely practised, thougl
it did not centre in any one Germai
concern, and thus did not com
j within the scope of the aiien prop
1 erty office or of the War Trad
Board. This was the stealing o
secrets from drafting rooms. Gcr
I mans make splendid draftsmen, an
it would be hard to find a draftin,
room anywhere in America withou
a high grade workman or two o
German blood. Often he is th
( foreman. It is impossible to gues
: how many of these were spies, bu
it is known that prints of America
; drawings of the most confidenti?
? kind were continually finding thei
t way into Germany. After the w;.i
there was a tremendous wcedin
out, and the Department of Justic
. began it, with startling results, i
: our own government as well as pr
vate munitions plants.
The sending to Germany of c?i
fidential information and samph
secured by a camouflaged?or ofte
uncamouflaged?German salesma
' may be regarded as "sniping." Bi
1 there were other means of gettir
i information on the borders of tl
[ commercial field, that were of gre
importance and value.
Insurance and Banks
Used in Spy System
One of these, was through insu
anee of industrial plants, but pa
ticularly of ships. The custom
splitting bi?- risks among many coi
panics made this easy, for a Gc
man concern could take only
small part of the risk and at t
same time receive all the inforn
tion about the property insure

id
included full specifications of the
ship, and even a manifest of the
cargo, itemized as to value. In case
of a factory, it covered full plans
of the plant and inventories of the
stock on hand. This activity was
particularly marked in the first
years of the war.
Another espionage method was
through the use of banks, which
turned over to Germany what any
other bank would regard as confi?
dential information. This, like the
insurance, was in its infancy, thougii
: getting well started. The most
conspicuous example of it was the
Transatlantic Trust Company,
which not only maintained thou?
sands of agents, but carried on an
active propaganda, and particularly
stimulated the draining back to the
Central Powers of hundreds of mill?
ions of dollars earned and saved by
their immigrants here.
One more scheme deserves mc-n
. tion, for its possibilities' at ieast.
The Germans were fast getting a
monopoly of the transatlantic wire?
less field that is, they were making
i sure that a great part of the most
I confidential business messages
: would go through their hands. How
important this may be is shown by
the fact that the German wireless
messages have been the most im?
portant single clew for the Alien
Property Custodian in digging up
the German property here.
Germany has already begun send
in-.' out new spies, to take the place
of those she has lost.
To-morrow Germany's grip
on America to-day will be de?
scribed; the man}! advantages
which she still holds and will
use in lier invisible war.
Food Helps Rumanians
To Defeat Bolshevism
The Yriu York Triv'.t e
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 1.?Food and
the patriotism of the Rumanian people
are winning the ficht against Bol?
shevism, according to officia! advices
' received in Washington to-day. Whilo
; the danger is not. past, it is said the
: situation is not as serious as it was a
month ago, and the authorities aro
taking every precaution. A plentiful
supply of food is urgently needed, and
supplies that are arriving are carefully
distributed under direction ef th?
local authorities, aided by representa?
tives of Allied governments and the
United States.
The attempt of the Bolsheviki to
! seize Bessarabia, which by a plebiscito
? had declared its desire to be reunited
: with the mother country, has beon
I thwarted by Rumanian troops, aided
; by the French. Tn th? north the Bol
' shevik army attempted to cross tho
i Dniester and lost more than 2,000 men
! in a battle with a small force of Ru
! manians. That section of Bessarabia
wfts cleared of Bolsheviki, in tho
southern part of the state, however,
j large force? of Bolsheviki were gath
i ered in the region of Tiraspol, but
| with French troops cooperating tho
j Rumanians drove them out with heavy
'losses and captured all their munitions
| and equipment.
In Transylvania the Hungarian Bol?
sheviki so far have been unable to ob?
tain any success or to convert i!ie
Rumania/is of Transylvania to Bol?
shevism. The Hungarian Bolsheviki
| continued the policy of the Magyars
j in oppressing the other nationalities,
! and the Rumanians, from officials to
peasants, understood that they must
| fight.

Gen. Blanquetes
Secretary Held
Here as Plotter
Robcr?o Gay?n indicted in
Texas on Charge of Con?
spiring Against Present
Government of Mexico
Roberto Gayon, tormer secretary to
General Aurelio Blanquet, the Mexican
revolutionary loader, was arrested last
night by Agen: Charles Scully, of the
Department of Justice, charg?e! with
conspiring to recruit and start a mili
[ tary expedition against the govern?
ment of Mexico. ?Mr. Gayon was found
at -11 Park Row, where he was em
.ployed as secretar; to Pedro de Villiar,
:.:. a: sociatc o? Feus i ?ia??.
According to the complaint, which
was s'.voi'.! to by Chief William Offiey
of the Department o? Justice, Mr.
| Gayon was indicted by the Federal
grand jury ? i Laredo, Tex., on April
L'1 with a score of others, v. ho were
charged with plotting a revolution de?
signed to overthrow the Carranza gov?
ernment. The specific charge is that
he gave a letter to Foster Averitt, an
American citizen, :o bo delivered to
Demendio Garcia Naranjo, one of the
alleged plotters. This message, ac?
cording to the charge, was finally de?
livered to General Blanquet in Mexico.
Averiti was to receive! a commission
I i.i the Blanquet force.- for delivering
? the letter, according to Mr. Scully. In
was indicted, however, and . now held
in Texas for trial on the conspiracy
charge. Seven others indicted at the
same time have been apprehend
are now held in Toxa ?
Gayon was arraigned before Federal
Judge John C. Knox and paroled in
(he- custody of his counsel, William S.
Rennet, until this morning, when he
will be given a hearing before United
States Commissioner Samuel Hitch?
cock. Bail will be arranged for lo'
daj.
Since General Blanquet left New
York F .Mexico Gayon has been the
?spokesman of the "Felicistas" group of
r?volu; ionists.
Just liefere Gayon was arrested he
wad asked by a Tribune reporter
whether he could verify the repor '?
(?enera' Blanquet is still alive. Thi
he was unable to do, explaining that
the last reports he' had received ''rom
i.! agents in Mexico were dated April
?I, two weeks befon Blanquet was re?
ported killed. The Blanquet men in
New Vork have not abandoned hope
that their leader, who as a sergeant
commanded the squad that was charged
with the execution of Emperor Max?
imilian, is still alive.
Greek Envoy Here to
Espouse Island Claim
Challenges Italy's Rights to
Occupation of llhndes and
Upper Epirus
Greece has two questions with Italy
in the island of Rhodes and Upper
Epirus, which, to Greece, stand out in
greater importance than liume, ac
? cording to Professor Andre Andreades,
i of the University of Athens, who ar?
rived here this week from Paris, where
he was associated with the Greek dele?
gation at the peace conference. While
in Paris Professor Andreades headed a
group of (?reeks who waited upon
President Wilson and conferred on
him the honorary degree of doctor of
laws of the University of Athens.
Upper Epirus and Rhodes Have- al?
ways been pan of Greece. Professor
Andreades explained? For the last two
| years, he said, Italians have occupied
! Upper Epirus. Since 1911, when Italy
had a small war with? Turkey, she has
been in control of Rhodes.
"We shall srp whal the peace confer?
ence' decides in these two cases," de?
clares Professor Andreades.
Greece is immune from Bolshevism,
and will continue so, Professor An?
dreades believes. He said the Greek
workman has not the Bolshevik ten?
dencies. His aspiration, is to rise and
become a chief workman at the head
of his particular enterprise.
"Greece appreciates the sympathy
of the American press,'' Professor An?
dreades said. He has come to this
country for a two months' stay to en?
lighten the American people on the
: (?reek question. He will he in Wash
: ington and he will visit the large uni?
versities of the East.
German Railroads Are
Demoralized, Says Report
Tho railroad service of Germany is
demoralized. The country is practic
' ally without any transportation sys?
tem, according to a report made public
yesterday by the American Relief Ad?
ministration, of which Herbert Hoover
is general director. The facts were
? gathered by Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor and
Dr. Vernon L. Kellogg, who have just
returned after an extensive tour of
Germany.
The complete breakdown of Ger?
many's railroads, the investigators de
; clare, was due to the insistence of the
i Allies on Germany's fulfilment to the
1 letter of that provision of the armis?
tice which called for the surrender of
the greater part of her railway equip
? men;. The Allie?, Dr. Taylor and Dr.
Kellogg, add, have lived up to their
\ part of the bargain and have kept ;?;
! steady stream c .*' food flowing into
Germany.
i Copies of tho report are being sent,
throughout the country by the relief
adm in i " ration.
"Passenger trains are few- densely
crowded and very slow," says the re?
port. "Freight trains are short and
few. The yards an- everywhere crowd?
ed with dead engines and empty cars,
a great many of which are out of order.
"The Prussian railways before the
war nominally hail 17.000 engines in
operation. They now have 11,000
n operation, but their tractive.power
about li; per cent of the 17,000
in operation in the pre-war period.
Hoffman Troops
Closing on Munich.
'Fake Six Towns
COPENHAGEN, May 1 (By The As?
sociated Press i.-?The ring of govern?
ment troops is closing around Munich,
according to Berlin dispatches. The
villages of Schongau and Umring have
been captured from the Soviet : orces
without loss. They are about forty
miles northwest of the city.
A dispatch from Berne adds that.
Wa jsurburg, Erding, Freising and
Starnberg also have been take"..
When Wi rttemburg troops occupied
| Starnberg ; le civil population was in
an angry mood against the Communists
and acts of violence were committed
upon them. The populace attacked
prisoners in the hands of the govern?
ment troops and thirteen of the Com?
munist leaders were shot.
Munich dispatches say that Bavarian
Premier Hoffman has refused another
request for an armistice, and insists
upon the unconditional surrender of
the Communist forces within the city.
The German .National Assembly
j probably will be transferred from Wei
, mar to Berlin next week, the "Tage
; blatt," of Berlin, reports.
Serious differences 'nave arisen be
twcen the members of tho National
German Government and a change may
be expected shortly, according to tele
I grams from Berlin.
The conflict between Math ?as Trzber
1 ger, head of the Armistice Commission,
an<j| Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau,
Foreign Minister and head of the peace
delegation, is said to have reached the
breaking point. Erzberger, it is de
! clared, will do his utmost to make dif?
ficult the work of the Foreign Minis?
ter, whatever the attitude he adopts
| at the Versailles Peace Congress.
[n addition there are serious politi
i cal problems of internal policy. Many
j members of the Majority Socialists, the
' ail vices say, appear inclined to co-oper
I'ate with the conservative Independent.
Socialist.-, to save Germany from a gov?
ernment on the Bolshevik order. These
; leaders are said to favor the creation
of a new government, based upon the
?principle of the councils of workers,
I and attempts will be made to get Hugo
: Haase and Herr Breitscheid, Indepen?
dent Socialist-, to enter a coalition
! cabinet. A national body o? councils,
if is said, might supplant the National
I Assembly and adopt a policy of ?>ocial
; ization on a vide scale.
Tho general strike in Upper Silesia
is coming to an end, the government
having arrested the principal Sparta
tide agitators. The miner.' everywhere
are returning to work.
?In Bremen the situation also has
improved with the arrest of a majority
of the Spartaeides, who had been ter?
rorizing the city.
Government troops stormed Sparta
cide headquarters in Hamburg and ar?
rested sixty of the leaders. They cap?
