GENERAL WAR NEWS.

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN U.S.

MORE DISCLOSURES

LONDON, Sept .22,

In connection with the arrest by Britain of Mr. Archibald, an American war correspondent, charged with carrying - forbidden documents. Yon Papen reports an alleged conversation with the British Consulate in Philadelphia on a scheme to convey military information and faked photographs, indicating the dispositions of the German army. These were frequently used by Germanv's enemies.

Von Papen asked Falkenhayne for permission to dump upon Holland and Norway quantities of phenol lying useless in provided that it was guaranteed that they would • not be resold. In a letter to his wife he said: How splendid we are doing: on the east front. I always say to these idiot Yankees that they had better bold their tongues. A letter to Falkenhayne reports no encouraging news from India or Australia. The antiJapanese feeling is unabated, as was expected, in Australia. Count Dumba's letter to the Austrian Foreign Minister recommends a scheme of strikes for stopping munition factories. It* points out that newspapers require financial support/ to commence the agitation. Archibald carried letters of introduction warmly commending him to high officials. Many diporuatic letters were in cypher, which the Bureau doee not reproduce, for obvious reasons. NEW YORK, Sept. 22. Archibald denies that he carried other documents hidden in a hollow gold-headed cane.

They had not allowed the American Trust to get'all it asked fee, or thr shipowners to get all they wanted. Such was the French Government'? confidence in our conduct of business that it had placed the wfaole matter in the B-'alrd of Trade's hands. So far as the Board could ascertain there had been no witholding of supplies. The price'of wheat was now low and probably have been lower still had the Dardanelles been opened.
