In a bulletin Btyled "Official Ex pose," the committee quotes numer ous letters and extracts from letters secured from the department of Jus tice In a raid on the New York office of Wolf von Igol, on April 16, 1910. Von Igol, In carrying on his pro-Gor-man and anti-war activities, tho doc uments show, was In constant touch with the German embassy and with Count von Bernstorff, Gorman am bassador to the United States. "In the form of letters, telegrnniB, notations, checks, receipts, registers, cash books, cipher codes, lists of spies and other memoranda and rec ords," tho committee says, "were found Indications. In some Instances of the vaguest nature. In others of tho most damaging conclusiveness- that the German Imperial govern ment, through Its representatives, In a then friendly nation,' was concerned with "Violation of the laws of the United States. "Destruction of lives and proporty in merchant vessels on the high seas "Irish revolutionary plots against England. "Fomenting III feeling against the United States In Mexico. "Subornation of American writers and lecturers. "Financing of propaganda. "Maintenance of a spy system un dor the guise of a commercial inves tlgation bureau.

Archlbnld,' acknowledging tho sum of $5,000 from tho Gorman embassy for propaganda work." Tho committee concludes Its ex pose as follows: While chiefly concerned with military affairs in Europe, tho repre sentatives of a supposedly friendly nation wore keeping an interested wntch on our own activities In that line. Secret code messages of April I, 19m, signed "13232 4C.729. 40919' addressed von Igcl to this ef fect : " 'Herew ith respectfully send an extract regarding the troops station ed In California and tho armament of the coast fortifications.'
