(Continued) When agents of the United States government raided Dr. Muck's apart- ments in Boston it was quite evident that the doctor considered ‘‘the thor- ough ignorance of the American people” offered a very fertile field for propaganda. During this visit of the Secret Service agents to Dr. Muck’s house they found cobles of Profes- sor Von Mach's pamphlet entitled: “Loyal American Citizenship Consists in Keeping Unsullled One’s Allegiance ! to the Constitution and to the Princi- | ples on Which This Nation Founded-—Humanity, Justice Good Will Toward AIL” The Secret Service agents also found at least a dozen coples of LaFollette’s speech made in the senate April 4, 1917, as well as copies of a leaflet en- titled: “Real Belglan Atrocities,” showing three natives of Belgian Con- go Free State mutllated by the Bel- glans. Lady Speyer's Poem to Muck. When the Department of Justice agents visited Dr. Muck's house in Seal Harbor, Maine, they found among his papers the following plece of poe- try, dedicated to him by Lady Speyer: “Oh, German melody, stand forth and sing Thy meaning to these dull, unwilling ears That listen now with me!

It is clear from the evidence in the possession of the government that Dr. Muck, although . a good deal of a braggart in his conversation, was In fact a great coward, and that he was constantly in dread of being shot | by some American fanatic, so that as a matter of fact it became a consid- able relief to him when the govern- | ment did intern him. During the summer of 1917, when America was in the first four months of the war with Germany, the atten- tion of the Department of Just attracted to the fact that Dr. was spending his summer at an iso- lated house in Seal Harbor, Me. The house which he occupied was owned i by a prominent Boston man who w very much interested in wireless tel- egraphy, and a complete outfit was found there, although it was not set up. Discover Wireless Plant Apartment. When the agents left their car at Parts in the house through the woods they ; met Dr. Muck. He returned to the house with them, and it was inspect- In an al- cove just off his den, which was a room commanding a very wide view of the ocean, was found part of a wireless plant. 'The instruments had been removed, but the alcove was filled with wires. A secret trap door was discovered in the floor of the alcove adjoining. the den and through this a wire led to the ground. In Mrs. Muck’s room a chest of drawers built by the wall contained a wires were also found in the cellar. A package of letters on Dr. Muck's found a check from Lady Spe: $100, which was to help defray ex- penses of getting a certain German woman back to the Fatherland. Says Sympathies Entirely With Germany. In this interview Muck was asked if his sympathies were entirely with Germany, and he replied that of course they were, since he was a German. Then he hastened to state that he was also a Swiss citizen. He was reminded that no German citi- zens were allowed in the vicinity of the seacoast, and that Ambassador Gerard, previous to the time the United States entered the war, had the greatest possibly difficulty in Ger- many in getting permission to visit the sea coast for one day in order to enjoy a bath in the ocean. He was informed that the circumstances were very suspicious. The isolated house on the high cliff commanding a wide view of the ocean, the presence of a wireless apparatus, and the fact that there had been constant reports of communications along the Maine coast with German submarines at sea. Rated More Dangerous Than Bern- storff. Among the visitors to Dr. Muck’s house were Dr. von Mach and Dr. Munsterberg and a professor of one of America’s great universities, who 'suspected of being of strong German sympathies, having lived for many years ,in Germany. Other conference meetings of this group were had in a house in Newport as well as in Maine. Another visitor of Muck’s was the president of a great plano com- pany of New England. Following Muck’'s return to Boston he was shadowed by department agents on his trips to New York and Washington. Agents of the depart- ment interyiewed a German-American citizen in New York who knew Muck and who stated that he considered Ambassador Bernstorff to be a much less dangerous man in America than Dr. Muck. He joked about Muck’s claim for Swiss citizenship and stated that it was laughed at by all his friends. Think Swiss - for Citizenship Claims Fake. When Dr. Muck returned to Bos- ton late in th& fall of 1914 he told Mr. Goodrich of Boston that while in Berlin at the outbreak of the war he had offered his services to the Ger- mun government and was assigned to the intelligence department of the army, where he worked for several weeks. He then came to the United States and constantly referred to the fact that he ought to be back in Ger- many “doing his bit.” It appears that Muck had never | referred to his alleged Swiss citizen- ship up to this tlme. There was bellef current as a result of the in- vestigation made by the agents of the Department of Justice that the Swi citizenship papers issued to Dr. Muck were not genuine because of the known strong pro-German tendencies of a certain Swiss official.

COMMISSION IN | l Failure of Christmas Seals Sale Would Cripple Work | Hartford, 6. Red Cross Christmas seal would de Dec. ‘Failure of the campaign a severe blow to the anti- work of Connecticut,” said Dr. Stephen J. Maher, chaiman | of the State Tuberculosis commis- | sion, today., “Thig is especially true of the tuberculosis nursing, the free AMERICAN RED CROSS tuberculosis HEALTH AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR dispensary and clinical service, the open air’ schools, and tuberculosis preventoria, which are largely being financed from the Red Cross seal fund. We have five large and well- equipped state tuberculosis sanatoria now, and a corps of tuberculosis ex- perts and general practitioners in Connecticut of which any state might well feel proud, and we are develop- ing effective attacks on the disease through the tuberculosis nurses who go into the homes, schools, and fac- tories, detect the suspected cases at an early stage, get them to the fam- ily doctor, in time to save lives, show other members of the family how to avoid contracting the disease, and in- struct the patient how to live in or- der that he may not be a danger and a menace to the community. The fund is used in financing the free clinies for the needy tuberculosis pa- tients who might otherwise wait until their disease had progressed so far that hope of recovery was gone. “The State Tuberculosis commis- sion is sending Its superintendent: and other experts to assist the dis-, pensary heads and general medical practitioners in dealing with such cases as these. Yet the fund must be raised annually if we are to have the dispensaries and clinics to which to send our patients. “In different parts of the state open air schools and preventoria are being started and financed from the fund. In Bridgeport the preventori- um which was established last sum- mer at a cost of only about $3,000 took care of some 30 children who were suspect cases. “In South Manchester an almost ideal open air school has been main- tained for years from the fund, Sim- ilar schools and preventoria have been started in other places in the state and have been taken over proud- ly by the municipality as a part of | the local school or health system. All | this is direct life-saving work. “Unless the public fully= under- stands the value to every community | in the state of the work which is be- ! ing done with the fund, there is a ! danger that the sum which is being asked for may not be raised.” Preliminary reports at the office of the State Tuberculosis commission | today indicated that, as the campaisn passed the half-way mark, only about $30,000 had been subscribed. The commission in June prepared a pre- liminary budget of $100,000 for need- ! ed anti-tuberculosis work in 1920, which was to be financed from this fund. In October the budget raised to $125,000 when it se: desirable for the health of the to increase the number of tuberculo- sis nurses wnich arc needed to cope with the disease. IN FARM MORTGAGES More Than This Amount of Life In- surance Company’s Assets Are So Utilized. New York, Dec. 6.—Information showing that more than $1,000,000,000 | of life insurance company assets are now invested in farm mortgage loans | and that an increasingly larger pro- portion of palicy holders’ funds is being invested in furthering agriculture in this way was presented to the Associu- tion of Lite insurance Presidents here by, Louis Breiling, treasurer of #he Union Central Life Insurance Society of Cincinnati. Such investment, he ar- sued, will be a leading and positive | factor in the pending agricultural re- adjustment from war to peace condi- tions, “Life insurance companies which, either in whole or in part, invest their increase of asscts in farm | he said. “are not only true to the interests of their policy holders but are alsg of inestimable service to the country at large in contributing to | the agricultural development by stim- ulating increased production of the necessities of life, grain and meat for food, hides for shoes, woal and cotton for clothing and hemp for rope to ' strangle the I.
