' NEW YORK, May 1. Confession ru made in court today by Wolf 3Iirsch. arrested last nisbt with Geore MfyrinEer, both Germans, that they were on thier way to blow up the of fices of J. P. Morgan & Co., with a bomb when intercepted by the police. ' Illrseh supplemented before the court n.tt alleged confession he had made ear lier to the police that the explosion of a bomb at the Morgan offices -was a jtart of a scheme to create a stock mar ket reversal from which he and Mey ringer could profit financially. He told the court he had made the bomb under the direction of Meyringer and another man in a laboratory at the Koosevelt Hospital, where they were employed. He said that Meyringer had Induced him to speculate in "Wall street and had suggested as a quicker way of fretting profits a scheme to frighten the st,ock exchange. False Reports Planned. The men were held In $10,000 tail each. Intention to destroy a "big "Wall street institution," tap telegraph trunk lines between Chicago, Washington and New York, send out false reports of President Wilson's assassination and U-boat raids on the Atlantic Coast and then disrupt wires to prevent denial. .ll to affect the stock market for spec ulative benefit, was Included In the am bitious plot, the police declare. Hirsch, the police assert, besides be ing a chemist, is an ex-German secret service officer and a reserve petty of ficer In the submarine division of the German navy, while Meyringer. who was a kitchen man in the hospital, is an expert telegrapher and a student of finance. Intentions Are uestioned. The Germans expected, the police say, to make a fortune in Wall street on "short" investments by Instructing ihetr brokers to buy Just as the ex pected tumble in the market developed from the bomb explosion and the false news. Persons familiar with the market conditions have informed the police that the Germans either were misled about the probable outcome of such an occurrence in Wall street or that they are patting this story forward to hide tbelr real intentions. Hirsch and Meyringer have been shadowed since the war began. Even in the hospital laboratory, where they experimented, they were watched, the police say, orders having ben glvn to the detectives to shoot either one on th first attempt to make use' of bombs.

SSSmSSSS.SSS.SSSfiBSSSSSSBSB SHIPS ALREADY LENT British Expert Reveals Action by United States. U-BOATS STILL LEAD RACE Various National Boards Will See That Only Essentials Will Be Per mitted to Fill Tonnage All Depends on America. WASHINGTON". May 1. The United States has already placed a consider able amount of ship tonnage at the dis posal of the entente allies. Lord Eus tace Percv. ship expert with the British miseion. said today that the Govern ment had supplied certain vessels to be used according to the allies' needs, but refused to indicate what they were or if they were the seized German ships. Lord Percy declared that the pres ent rate of British construction of ships and the present estimated rate could not keep pace with the present rate of destruction by submarines. "The balancing figure in the world struggle." said ixrd Percy, "is the ton nage the United States can supply." Wide Co-oneration Indicated. Lord Percy's announcement was the first intimation that the shipping con ferences had actually resulted in any agreement. It was taken as a fore runner of a wide degree of co-operation in which the present tonnage and the future building powers of this country will be pooled with the allies to defeat the German submarine menace. Lord Percy stated that the British mission had supplied the American Government with every detail of the shipping problem. Including the total allied tonnage, the total destruction by the U-boats, the irreducible needs of the allies; the present rate of construc tion abroad and the standardized build ing plans. The American Shipping Board, he said, had shown the heartievt co-operation with the fullest under standing of the urgency of the situa tion. "The shipping issue," said Lord Percy, "dominates everything else, and is very grave, indeed. Both the present Brit ish construction and . the estimated American construction cannot keep pace with the present rate of destruc tion. Both must be speeded up very appreciably if the seas are to be kept open. The war has resolved itself into a race between the efficiency of the British and American shipyards and the German submarine. Much, Tonnage Keeded. "The balancing factor in the world struggle is the tonnage the United States can supply. Only in case this is large can the present military service and food supply be continued. This is a most vitally serious problem which cannot be exaggerated. "The United States." Lord Percy went on, "is one of the few countries that is absolutely self-sufficient in ship building. You have here the men. the material, the inventiveness. France, Italy and Japan also are building somewhat, but, unlike this country, must use ships to build ships through the need of importing raw materials. "The shipping problem is not only a matter of toniage. but equally a mat ter of how fast that tonnage is used. Every method possible is being used to save shipping for the vital purposes and keep it away from nonessentials. Kach of the allied nations has insti tuted a national shipping board, while over them all is the general shipping board, sitting in Ixndon, which at tempts to harmonize the demands of shipping and direct it to the most effi cient use."
