The investigation, which resulted in the arrest of the 17 men and which will probably be followed within the next few hours by the arrest of others who are believed to have been con- cerned in the aleged defrauding of the government, has been undr way for several weeks and came to head late vesterday afternoom, when word came from Attorney General Gregory. The arrests were due in part to re- ports that came back from France in the form of protests from General John J. Pershing, the Commander in Chief of the Overscas Forces, who in blunt soldierly fashion informed the Government that the raincoats being shipped to France for the men of his command were in numberless in- stances made of ‘rotten” materials and were unfit for the purposes in- tended. He informed the Quarte master’s Corps in no uncertain terms that ne wanted no more coats of the inferior kind concerning which he pro- tested, shipped across the Atlantic for the men who fighting under his command Army Officers Impli that in said conspir: connection the for to these bher now in of ru oldi the At off have are ated. the as are a addition to have turers, allesed of the Most of th be of the lower with a few of the Lieutenant Colonel, and Coloncl. No general officers are accused. The navy is said not to be involved, owing to the fact that long before this country entered the war Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, the Chief of the Naval Bureau of Supplies and Accounts took measures to make the “bartering of contracts”, so far as the navy was concerned, practical- 1y imposs A rumor men who agents or concerned in the number of officers current last night cers are said to des in ran grades of Major, to acted there frauds army, se offi- ar manuf ble. Direct bribery of officers in the army or of civilians in the employ of the Government whose duties had to do with the letting of contracts or the inspecting of the goodsafter the con- tracts were let and were in process of fulfillment is charged against some of the men taken into custody last night. In some instances, it is charged, those under arrest include men who resort- ed to the intimidation of both military and civilian inspectors in their efforts to defraud the Government. The men now in arrest had con- tracts for the manvfacture of approxi- mately 1,062,000 raincoats, and as the Government is paying an average of $5 a coat to the makers this means that the sum involved was about $5,- 310,000. This refers only to the con- tracts now being filled and not to the thousands of inferior coats wh General Pershing has charged were shipped across the Atlantic for the use of the men in the French trenches.

New York, July 26.—The present war is @ “war of revenge” long re- sired by the Pan Germans, writes Kurd von Strantz, a Pan-German leader in a book entitled “Our Nation- al War Goal,” published in Germany. German newspapers received here quote the author ing: “In my boyhood days wr of retaliation,” as we this world war more correctly, the dream of my life, the realization of which I have never despaired of, although I did doubt that I would live to see it in view of the unfortu- nate peace policy followed the post-Bismarckian administration. “But T have lived to enjoy that happiness. By word and letter T have fought for this war of revenge which finally is to restore our old national and political frontie which we had gradually lo: in the East and West since 1552, Neither 1815 nor 1871 restored those frontiers, “Bismarck started our national by but he did not complete it. His discharge impeded the victory-prom- ising course, as his successor gave half of German Afric: senselessly without any compensation to our new arch-enemy, England, Therewith began the descent which only this world war could arrest and which I | longed for and foresaw when such thoughts were popular.” The Berlin Vorwaerts, says that the entire enemy world will learn of this confession with great sati and adds: It Herr von Strantz had been paid for his book by enem: agents he could not have better wor ed into the hands of the enemy coun- tries.

Investigation in Boston. Boston, July 23.—An investigation | was started terday to determine why bombs carried by naval aviators failed to explode when dropped on or near the German submarine which at- | tacked the tug Perth Amboy and her | barges off Cape Cod. Ixperts at the headquarters of the First Naval district here said the bombs were sent to the various naval | districts with explicit instructions that the mechanism must not be ove hauled or any effort made to improve The supposition was that they had been officially tested. It was report- ed that some of the avlators had said | that some of the bombs had falled in | tes Rear Admiral Spencer & Wood, commanding the district, refused to coment on the reart that the bombs dropped by the airmen yesterday were “duds.” In regard to the attack he said want to correct the iven currency by certain published | stories that the Chatham aircraft were | late in getting to the scene of the at- tack ar were not otherwise promptly on the job. Such stories T know to be misrepresentation of the facts. Tk were there and dropped iwo bomb: the explosion of either one of which might have been effective in destroy- ing the hostile craft. “The whole occurrence from a stra- point of view impresses me as | of ridiculous.
