30,000 GERMAN RESERVISTS IN AMERICA

Received April 9, 10.5 a.nl. NEW YORK, April 8. The United States Secret Service estimates that there are 20,000 German reservists in America who are susceptible to anti-American leadership, but who would be cowed by the arrest of their leaders. Those arrested include the notorious Koenig, the Hamburg-Amerika Company’s chief detective, and the Rev. Bruckner, who supplied a false affidavit that the Lusitania was armed.
