( Germans, including one non-commis- sioned officer, one private, and a civil official, have just been executed in Germany as Entente spies. The lead- er of the group, according to the Ger- man newspaper accounts, was a Doct- or Roos. His associates were Joseph Schnitzler, a non-commissioned officer in an artillery battalion at the front, and Albert Strudel, a soldier in a tel- ephone section in Coblentz. The Cologne Gazette gives the fol- lowing account of the case: "The enemy espionage service not only succeeds in now and then send- ing enemy subjects and suborned neu- trals with false or stolen passports to spy in Germany, but occasionally a German succumbs to the temptation of money. Men Influenced by French "A German court-martial had to deal with one of these cases a short time ago. The three men named were ac- cused of treason. Dr. Roos, who had been a failure in his profession and in life, while on a s iness journey to Switzerland in 15, made the ac- quaintance of a certain Josef Kraft, in Geneva, whose business was to get agents for the French intelligence ser- vice. Here Dr. Roos was also intro- duced to an alleged Captain.Barrat. "It was agreed that Roos should settle in Frankfort, and from there send military and .economic informa- tion to Switzerland to a covering ad- dress, Grevilliot, Geneva. The informa- tion was written by Roos In invisible ink between the lines of newspapers which were then sent in a wrapper looking quite innocuous in the post. As a reward for betraying his country, Roos at once received an advance of 2,000 francs and a monthly payment of 1,000 francs was guaranteed him. lonthly Reports Made "In October, 1915, Roos began his activities in Frankfort. At first he had his own observatiois only to rely upon, but later be gained accomplices in Strudel and Schnitzler. He sent sev- eral reports monthly until finally the secret writing was discovered and it was ascertained that he was the send- er., Soon afterwards his accomplices were discovered. All three made full confession. "The activities of these three spies has done great injury to the Father- land and the army, as the two sold- iers, especially Schnitzler, who was at the front, were able to give valuable in- formation. The court-martial con demned all three to death. The punish- ment was carried out soon after. Accomplices Also Arrested "In addition, it was possible to have a number of other members of the es- pionage organization brought to trial. The recruiting agent, Josef Kraft, and Grevilliot, who i received letters from Roos at Geneva, were tried by the court there. Kraft was fined 300 francs and sentenced to three months' im- prisonment. Grevilliot got a 600 franc fine and four months imprison- ment for obtaining information on be- half of a foreign power."4 Another account of espionage activ- ities in Germany is printed in a num- ber of German papers this week. It pays a grudging tribute to the activi- ties of an alleged Russian agent named Liander, of whom it says: "This ver- satile and cunning spy, who is general- ly described as a man of education, and of an amiable nature, has been render- ed harmless. But the espionage ser- vice. of the Entente will find other ways. Only the greatest watchful- ness against all suspicious persons and the greatest restraint and caution in conversation can .relieve Germany from these pests or make their activ- ity futile." "It is stated that Liander is a Swede. His two principal accomplices were Plammer, fornerly a German subject, and Hlopf, a German.
