L USE OUR WANT AOS FOR BEST RESULTS FEHR GERMANS 1Y DAMAGE OIL WELLS ALONG GULF COAST WASHINGTON Aug I—So1 —So numerous! have become the reports of German) spy activities and propaganda in Mex ico that Ambassador Fletcher is pre-1 pared upon his arrival at Mexico City to call the attention of the Mexican government to the links in that coun try between Berlin and German agents ia the United States. Officials of the state department do net call into question the integrity of the Mexican government, but the re ports have left no room to doubt the existence of a German organization in Mexico whose machinations may be defined as a violation of Mexico’s neu trality. The Carranza government is believed in fact to be disturbed by the I abuse of its hospitality, and there is a feeling here that the time is not far distant when certain representatives in Mexico of the German foreign of fice may be questioned as to their ac tivities. Murk oi German Agents. How extensive the work of the Ger man agents has been in forwarding in formation to Germany by mail or other) means has not been ascertained by American agents, but evidence of their tireless activity in propaganda has been produced. When Carl Heynen was arrested a few days ago on the charge of spy activities in the United; States it was not known that his work ■ extended to Mexico, but since then ev-) idence has been produced to indicate that he was very intimately connected with the German spy system there and that the men who formerly report ed to him are continuing their efforts. One man whom agents of the United States are watching is Richard Evers, bush, German consul at Tampico. Ev erbusch was the partner in /business. of Heynen for many years. While almost every other govern-j meat has has decreased the number of its consular representatives in Mexico, Germany has kept there a full list and Minister von Eckhardt has been at the capital since the overthrow of Huerta. It will hie pointed out to the Mex ican government that in the event of reasonable proof of undue activities by and German consul of diplomat prece dent for expulsion from the country may be found in the cases of Dumba, von Papen and Boy-Ed. Fears of Oil Supply. The American government is not concerned so greatly at the suggestion that Mexico is used as a relay point for military information as it is over the constant and apparently uninter rupted German propaganda emanating from Mexico and over the possibility of curtailment of Mexican oil supply. The recent strikes in the Tampico oil region have caused some anxiety, and it has been freely charged that they were caused by German agents work ing in some cases through the Indus trial Workers of the World.
