The Story of How Wide Awake News
paper Gathered Evidence
Against Intriguers.
The fololwing is the amazing story
of how German plots and Intrigues
against the American government
were uncovered by the Providence
Journal. Newspaper met guile with
guile and spy with spy, and for al
most three years kept our govern
ment Informed of Teutonic Intrigue
adn treachery in this country. The
story of how this was done Is related
by the editor of the Journal.
How the Providence Journal met
guile with sruile, and spy with spy, how
it had its man in BernstorfE's' own
household and its two wireless stations
"listeniiift In" on the German Sayvllle
"line" to Berlin how, in fact, this one
New England newspaper for almost
three years kept the United States gov
ernment informed of the German-Austrian
plots in America has at last been
revealed.
John It, Rathom, in a speech made at
the convention of the Canadian Press
association in Toronto, and reported in
the Editor and Publisher from the Tor
onto Star, weaves a story of plot and
counter-plot as remarkable as any that
have come from the pen of E. Phlllipn
Oppenheim. And Mr. Kathom says thai
he has a safe full of documents yet un
used which he will pull out if the situa
tion ever again requires it.
The story bristles with dramatic lit.
tie scenes almost unbelievable In hum
drum America. There Is llernstorff's
confidential secrelary at the last mo
ment at Halifax revealing himself as an
American. There Is the pretty stenoK
rapher who sat on the packing box with
Captain von Pnpen and made him write
the evidence of his own guilt.
And through it all tuns the trail of
the "green blubber." which is Mr. Kath
om's Word for the strange "air holes" In
German brains which make them over
look the most obvious things. We see
the "gieen blubber" when Van Homo,
the spy, dressed tip like a workman and
then rode In a Pullman. Follows, too,
the incident of the foolish street car
fight that cost !octor Albert his fa
mous portfolio of treacherous secrets.

"Th Providence JournaL." begin the
Editor and Publisher, "happened upon
its course of exposure through having
had for 10 yean before the war what
other papers described aa a 'bug on
wirelesa telegraphy. The paper had
maintained two powerful wireless
planta at Point Judith and at Block Is
land. When war broke out they had
decided to 'listen In' on the messages
crossing the Atlantic. For five months
they kept record of these messages, and
then they set out to find the codes and
make revelations. Of the material they
secured they used only a fractional
part.
"One of the newspaper's stenogra
phers was sent and secured an appoint
ment In the Austrian consulate In New
York. Others of Its workers were con
stantly engaged In shadowing Captain
Boy-Ed, Captain Von Papon, former
Austrian Ambassador Dumba, the Ger
man Ambassador Bernstoiff and othe
German and Austrian ortlclnls. The
two wireless plants unceasingly lis
tened In, two shifts of operators a'
work dny and night, on Sayville and
Nantucket, the two wireless station"
which were being used mostlv hv the
Germans to keep in touch with Berlin,
from where they received instructions
lor every detail of their plotting policy
"For the United States government
the Brooklyn navy yard had had In
structions to keep a close watch on th'
sayvllle and Nantucket stations, but
nothing suspicious was" ever reported
untu Mr. Katnom iook some or the met
sages which he had received from hl
operators to the state department. It
was then learned that the navy yard
operators had been in the pay of Ger
man agents in America, and had been
told not to hear too much.
iBgralona Codes l ard. .
: "The codes used by the Germans were
of the most ingenious nature. Many of
mem preienaea 10 oe siock quotations,
and some were even done ud aa funeral
directions. In some cases, however, the
codes showed evidence of the "green
blubber." referred to by the speaker, as
on one occasion when Mr. Rathom was
able to go to President Wilson and
show him copies of eight separate mes
sages seat by the wireless plant within
nine days, all relating that "little Em-
, uy naa aied or such ana such an- III'
ness, In a certain part of a room, had
been burled In a certain cemetery be
side such and such a previously deceas
ed relative. In every one of these mes
sages the illness, the part of the room,
the name of the relative, the cemetery
and so on, varied, and a clear code was
, detected in each of the messages.
Greta Blabber la Brala.
' "The first revelation which Mr. Rath
; om told illustrated the Gorman capacity
for blundering. It was the story of
werner Horne me man who was re
snonsible for the attempt to blow up
the Vanceboro bridge. Home had been
detected as a German spy by one of the
Journal reporters in New York. In an
effort to disguise himself Horne allowed
his beard to grow for three days, put on
an old suit which he purchased for
three dollars (even this detail was re
ported) and packed his personal effects
in an old carpet bag. Having carried
out these elaborate precautions he took
passage for the point where the "Job"
was to be done, on one of the finest and
most luxurious trains in the United
States. As is well known now, he was
I caught. When asked later by Mr.
Rathom why he had been foolish
enouerh to travel first-class In such
shabby dress. Horne replied that he was
a German officer and a gentleman and
always traveled In the best style.
Pansport r'raud Outlined.
"Another German scheme In which
the Journal reporters outwitted the
Teutons occurred soon after in New
York also. A fraudulent passport- bu
reau, operated by German officials, was
discovered doing a land-office business
in an office building on Broadway. The
Journal men faking as a public ac
countant on the one side, and a manu
facturers' agent on the other sand
wiched the passport forgers between
then. Every word that passed in this
office was recorded by means of instru
ments used for that purpose, and re
ported to the Providence Journal. When
sufficient evidence was gathered the
United States secret service was noti
fied and the three forgers were taken
away. As soon as they had been re
moved three of the Journal's employees
were allowed to take charge of the of
fice to receive the patrons. It was not
long after that Von Papen and the Ger
man military attache at Tokyo came In
with a list of names of men for whom
they desired passports. The name at
the top of the list was that of Werner
Horne.
Journal Man Uernstorff's Secretary.
" 'A friend of mine,' said Mr. Rath
om, 'thinking himself very friendly, but
In a thing which I objected to, went to
Paris and while there bought a lot of
war relics. Among them was one of the
first iron crosses that had been given
by the German emperor to a major of a
German regiment, who died on the field
and whose cross had been taken from
him and taken to Paris. It was sold to
my friend, with statements as to whom
It had belonged, and my friend sent it
to me. I sent it to Bernstoiff with a
letter, saying that that mark of honor
able distinction of a man who had done
hia duty for his country belongs to his
family. I gave the name of the man
and the name of the family, and begged
him to take care of the cross so that It
could be sent back after the war or at
some time to the man's people.
Tears Note to Piece.
'" "The ambassador tore the note to
pieces, threw the note in the face 01
the man I sent, and threw the cross on
the floor, saving that, after having
been defiled by the hands of American
dogs, that cross was of no use to any
body in Germany. I knew my man was
telling the truth, becase the man I had
In there reported the Incident to me
exactly the way he did. Incidentally I
might sav that the individual to whom
I refer was in the German embassy 17
months as one of the ambassador's sec
retaries, and the ambassador had no
knowledge that he was not what he
nretended to be until the Frederic
VIII left New York for Halifax. He
said to my man, "You had better get
aboard of you will lose your boat," and
he replied: "I am safer on this side."
Mr. eBrnstorff had no idea of that
