NEW BRITAIN D T VON PAPEN SH FOR MEXICO gents of U. S. Watch- g German Officer rk, Dec. 17.—Captain Franz , discredited German mili- he, and whose going tfrom ry is surrounded yet with ,a great deal of mystery, will be { watched by secret agents of the Uni- ted States and other countries until he is safely on board a ship on his way across the Atlantic Ocean and in no way to make a dash for Mexico, as the administration officials in Washington are apprised that he in- tends doing. This was learned yvesterday when it became known that a secret revert { has been put into the hands of Sec- ‘relary of State i concerning Captain von Pape movements. The administration officials of this country, do not want him Mexico, but they have no power prevent his going. Aceredited to Mexico. As German Military Attache, o RRAN DRY GOODS CO.

But hoth President Wilson and Sec- retary Lansing are confident that if Captain von Papen reaches Mexico his whole activities will be directed toward fomenting a revolution which was one of the primary purpose for which Captain Lieutenant Franz Rin- telen, the Kaiser's secret high com- missioner, came to this country.’ Captain von Papen, with plenty of money at his command, could drag the United States in very quickly. The only way that Captain von Pa- pen may be kept out of Mexico is for such influence to be brought to bear . upon Venustiano Carranza as to have al- | ! Kaiser that he recall the Mexican executive request of th2 Captain von Papen before he starts for Mexico. But such a request would embara Carranza, whose government also is terms with Germany. Make Confusion Worse. The Washington officials are certain that the military attache has designed | a flight to Mexico and that his mvs- terious announcements of dates of probable going from this country on- ly'make the confusion worse. Captain Karl Boy-Ed, the recalled naval attache, has made it perfectly clear to all his friends that he in- tends to go to Germany. Sudden September Journey. Tt was learned yesterday that the secret agents of this country and of the Allies became much alarmed last September at the peculiar activities of Captain von Papen. He made a sudden journey out to Chicago, thenca to San Francisco, St. Louis and other cities. He was followed by Secret Service men but left a hotel in Chi- cago so uncremoniously early one morning that they lost track of him. Tt was feared then that he had some purpose of jumping across the border but that the scrutiny then over him scared him off. While various statements have been given out that both Captain von Pa- pen and Captain Boy-Ed will leave here on Tuesday next, and then again on December 28, it has become known that neither has taken any| steps to receive the safe conducts which Great Britain and France have promised to grant. Next Move From Attaches. - The state department having notl- fied both officers that their safe con- duct are at hand, the next move must come from the attaches. They have given no indication of what they in- tend to do. Their letters of safe con- duct will not be handed to them until they notify the state department of the time, place and ship aboard which they intend to embark. Meanwhile, they already have been stripped of their official status in this country. Captain Von Papen's activities in Mexican affairs have already been con- sidered by the department of justice. Agents have traced a scheme to pur- chase ships in California and outfit them for service in Mexico. Captain Von Papen has spent much time on the California coast as well as in Mex- ico. Tt is said that he already has made arrangements for a successor here to continue his work. Both Attend Opera. Both Captain Boy-Ed and he ap- peared at the Metropolitan Opera house last night for the first time in public since they have been stripped of their official powers. They occu- pied box No. 43 with Hans Tauscher, husband of Mme. Gadski, and an arms agent who has sold munitions and arms to Mexico. In the next box No. 44, was Captain Polak of the Kronprinzessin Cecile, who came down from Boston with a party of friends. It was like a family reunion and all evening friends poured into the two boxes to talk with the discreditea attaches. The whole party retired to the Opera club where they exchanged wishes for the best in- terests of Germany, A man in this city thoroughly con- versant with Mexican affairs said Cap- tain Von Papen could cause endless trouble in Mexico by engineering a revolution against Carranza or by ailding General Villa, General Zapata or any of the political and personal enemies of the de facto government. Would Be Welcomed. “The German colony is an import- ant one in Mexico City,” he said, and Captain Von Papen doubtless would be welcomed by the Germans there. In view of the fact that Germany has not recognized Carranza, Captain Von Pa- pen would have no official standing be- fore the Mexican government. There would be nothing to keep him out of Mexico as a private citizen. If his ac- tivities were directed against the exist- ing government, he could be expelled under article 33, of the Mexican con- stitution, relating to pernicious for- eigners. That would be the only legal way he could be got out of the coun- try. “Carranza, of course, has many en- emies who would listen to any man who had a way to overthrow the gov- ernment. Men to head a revolution are easy to find there and in all the Central American republics. Every one has an ambition to be president. If Von Papen should try to help these | ambitious politicians and army men to achieve their desires, he would have a waiting list a mile long.” “The question of getting arms into Mexico would be easy to Von Papen, | provided he had the arms. There are a hundred filibusterers who know how to get them in, eluding the United | States and the Allies’ fleet.” Boy-Ed Denies Thrift. Captain Karl Boy-Ed, discredited naval attache of the German embassy, denied explicitly yesterday that he had had anything to do with the reported theft from Washington of the contents of a naval document intended for President Wilson. According to the report, which emanated from a seem- ingly authoritative source, a digest of the secret report was obtained by the German attache and information was sent to Washington that this was in his possession. “I have, of course, read, and with surprise and indignation, the extraor- dinary stories contained in the morn- ing papers seriously reflecting upon my personal integrity and official con- duct,” says Captain Boy-Ed. assified CASH IN ADVANCE.

I know of no American, patriotic or otherwise, young or old, such as is referred, to in these articles and have never had any American citizen employed to my office. The patriotic young American referred to is ag mythical as the rest of the absurd stor: Manufactured by Allies, “The story bears every indication of belonging to that large assort- ment, that has been industriously manufactured by the Allies’ Press Bureau which has done such effective work in poisoning the public mind against the cause of my country.” H. Snowden Marshall, United States attorney, after a long conference with Superintendent William Offley, of the local bureau of the department of jus- tice, refused to comment on the story, except to say that it was news to him. He would not commit himself posi- iively in regard to whether he thought it true or false. Superintendent Offley, incidentally, admitted that the department still has special agents searching for the plans of the battle- ship Pennsylvania, which were stolen from the Bureau of Steam Engineer- ing of the Navy Department in Wash- ington on the night of the inaugural ball for President Wilson. Never Offered for Sale. “The stolen plans never have been offered for sale to any shipbuilding concern,” said the investigator, “and the suspicion is that they were turned over by the thief to some foreign gov- ernment which has since ‘then kept them well under cover. Count Von Bernstorff, at the Ritz- Carlton hotel last night, characterized the story as: “A transparent fabrication of the Allies’ press bureau.” Those “Little Emily” Messages. It was learned terday from a source in close touch with the Wash- ington officials that the famous “Little " code message sent to Berlin several months ago by Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, in all likelihood had reference to cer- {aln situations in munitions plants in this country, The Ambsa " advised that it would be better for his government to | government could spur up the produc- itlon of ammunition threefold almost { “Our little Emily will be buried ! suspicious, FOR SALE—Upright Mahogany piano ' on Greenwood street, New Britain.

Messages Never Explained. The “Little Emily” messages never have been explained. In the summer, sfter the rigid censorship had been established and the Sayville wireless plant seized, Count Von Bernstorff complained to this government that he was unable to get to his govern- ment legitimate matter, even in code. The embassy was allowed to use a code, but later a series of messages aroused ‘the suspicion of one of the men on Long Island, through whom they passed. They read “Little Emily is very sick,” “Little Emily is better,” “Poor little Emily died yesterday"” and to- morrow.” The character of the messages was but never explained, al- they soon stopped after others in the names of “Little and “Little Fritz.” An feature was that “Little was buried three distinct though were sent Augusta’” amusing Emily” times.
