TALE GF HOW

Continued From Page One. for him to come at once, Mr. Rathom .said, and when he arrived, they gave him the very job of janitor, which he had warned would be sought by a Providence Journal man. He stayed there six months, and the newspaper got evidence which Mr. Rathom said , "would have closed those offices long, long ago Instead of only recently had we had the power that the Government has." Outwitted Boy-Ed. "One of our employes, said Mr. Rathom, " a young woman who had worked for our paper for six years, marked one of the packing cases sent by Boy-Ed to his home government bebore the outbreak of the war with this country, with two hearts, and BoyEd, in amorous mood, drew two darts through the drawings. These packing cases were filled with important documents and receipts showing the payment of money by the German . propaganda in America. Many of ' these operations may appear incon

ceivable, but our proof 'was indisputable. " ' ' "On another occasion Boy-Ed and two men who were responsible for the

blowing ud of a plant In Wilmington,

DeL, drank wine with our representa

tive and gloated over the worK iney

had carried on in a country not at war with Germany." "Going back a little bit," continued Mr Rathom, "our man in the German Consul General's office in San Francisco found that the man was plotting against tb government. That official is now nerving two years' Imprisonment in San Francisco. In this con

nection I win state that the present minister from Sweden, still serving in his official capacity in Washington.

has been acting as an emissary for

the German propaganda. Malone Denied it. "We had positive proof of the break

ing up of the machinery of the German liners docked at Hoboken, and when this proof was printed Dudley Field Malone, then collector of the port, denied the story." Mr. Rathom said, and when he. Rathom, interviewed the collector the latter explained he hadn't examined below decks, as he didn't think he had authority to do so. "I asked him if he thought the engines were In the smokestack," Mr. Rathom added, "and I suppose he found out they weren't when the government ten days later confirmed our entire story." In leading up to his account of The Providence Journal's exposure of Teuton plotting, Mr. Rathom said: "Is it conceivable to imagine that the hundreds of thousands of Germans and traitorous German-Americans who cheerfully aided Ambassador Bernstorffs campaign of murder and destruction In this country for two years and a half have changed their spots? How many lessons do we need to make us realize that the danger here at home from these same people today is as great as any other danger that we are facing in connection with this war? "Is the lesson of the Baltimore fire two weeks ago to go unlearned? Is the lesson of the destruction of the Wash

burn plant last night to go unheeded? The sympathetic and kindly attitude of those in authority, who prefer not to Intern spies, who prefer not to shoot traitors, 13 rapidly creating a condition, which, if permitted to continue, will mean the maintenance in the very heart of our civil and commercial life of a danger that will destroy half of our war value to ourselves and the Allies. Allowed to Roam. "Why are thousands of skilled Gerr man sailors provided with ample funds, regularly supplied to them by German bankers and German steamship managers in New York City, sailors highly skilled in mechanical, electrical, and engineering work, filled with the desire to see Germany win this war and determined to do everything they can in this country to help Germany win the war permitted to roam throughout the length and depth of the United States unhampered, being checked only hy the ridiculous form known as a 'license.' "Why are dozens of Austrian Consuls and Consular officers allowed to be at large in various cities of the

carrier. It appears that quite a few of our mailmen will soon be ladles or at least any number of ladies are going to be mailmen. The idea has had Its start In Washington and all of the women who have tried the work are pleased with it and have handled it welL Mrs. Nellie McGrath, the first woman letter carrier at the capital, is the wife of Maurice P. McGrath, who is now in military service.

United States? Does any human being with common sense believe for one moment that these men are not utilizing their entire time and their entire energies in plotting death and destruction In every possible form to hamper our war activities? "Can any sane man believe that the German-language daily press of the United States is any less traitorous at heart today than it was the day before war was declared? Why are dozens of treasonable sheets of this kind, owned and run by men who are known to the government to be traitors, permitted to continue publication? "The Secret Service of the United States and the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice the two official weapons, and the only two which stand between our people and disaster at home are ridiculously undermanned and ridiculously underpaid. The loyalty and intelligence of these men Is beyond question. The lack of facilities for their work and for the scope of their work is a national disgrace. Sum Insignificant. "The entire sum paid by the United States to maintain these two vitally important bureaus per. annum is actually less than the amount of money paid by Ambassador Bernstorff per month for German Secret Service operations in the City of New York alone. The financial loss entailed by the Baltimore fire is probably four

time the eDtire annual cost of both of

these bureaus.

"Hundreds of men today employed in army and navy work and many in the ranks of both the army and navy, thousands of men engaged in the preparation of munitions, in our great

chemical factories, in our shipbuilding

yards, and some in the offices of the Government itself at Washington, are German spies. Within three weeks

twenty dangerous suspects all of them Interned German sailors have been turned out of their employment in one New England institution through the representation of The Providence Journal, and these men instead of being interned have been permitted to wander wherever their fancy has chosen to take them, to begin the concoction of new plots in places where they are not under suspicion. "What terrible calamity must we go through, what immense destruction of war materials vital to our future freedom must we see before we deal with this question with a stern and unyielding hand and with a determination to stamp out treachery wherever it shows its head? "Is there any connection betwen this timidity of inaction against murderers and the constantly repeated doctrine of the bad German Kaiser and the good German people? No more vicious misstatement of fact is possible than this one. The sooner we learn that the Kaiser in this war is the mouthpiece of

his subjects,' and that in all his. reign there never was a time when he was so popular in Germany as he is today, the sooner' we will be able to think straight and act straight on this situation. The Kaiser is the physical embodiment of the German idea, and the German idea is the doctrine of physical force. "And yet there are those who persist in telling us that we are playing the role In this war of the great liberator of the German people! It is our hand that is to help them up toward the light, in their struggles to rid themselves of their Kaiser and his hated system. And that hand is held out across the Atlantic, the Atlantic In whose depths lie the hones of American women and children murdered by Germany's Kaiser and by the poor, struggling German people, who greeted those murderers , with shouts of ecstatic joy! War No Fight for Trophy. - "What are we fighting for? A trophy? The head of the Kaiser? It sounds like that; when we read the speeches which are sometimes prepared for our consumption. We get the impression that if by some par

ticularly lucky stroke an American re

turns home with the head of the Kaiser

the war would be satisfactorily over

and we should be hailed as the savior

by the liberated German people. "But nations do not fight for a trophy. Not even for the head of the Kaiser! There are three things for which nations and men fight in war for the love of something, for the hate of something, and for or against one of the religious fanaticisms that have made the world run red since the beginning of history. "What is Great Britalh fighting for? Becauses she realizes that she is facthe probable loss of everything she loves, her spiritual, religious and material storehouses, her liberty, her law, and her language. "What is France fighting for? At deaths grip with the enemy on mankind, she is struggling with her last ounce of force for the continuation of hernatlonal life, for an independent existence, for her very soul. And all

are fighting to wipe off the face of the earth for all time the concrete deviltrise of Germany and to avenge the murder of tens of thousands ot inno

cents, the rape of Belgium, the violation of women, the unutterable and unthinkable horrors which are today, yes. today, dying that stricken strip of France and Belgium with a stain of blood. "This war has already been worth a thousand times more than it has cost in life and suffering and treasure. It has saved Greata Britian from forces thata were leading her to destruction, and has made her a straight flame of purity, her dross burned away. It has given back to France her religion, has reinvlgorated and regenerated her national life and has washed her clean. It will in the end save Germany, after she has toiled through generations of shame Into the light of day. "This is a spiritual war. Not a war of fighting by proxy or vicarious suffering. Will the United States come out of it with a national soul or with only a national purse!"
