(A980cIn ted PreM Dispatch. >
London, Feb. 1.—Bolshevist agents
entrusted with messages regarding
sensational widespread red plans have
been for considerable time traveling
between Berlin and soviet Russia on
false credentials. It is stated In of-
ficial quarters. The credentials they
carried are said td have described
them as delegates of the American
Red Cross mission in Berlin to con-
duct investigations regarding the ex-
change of German prisoners from
Russia.
These couriers, It appears, were
carrying dispatches between Moscow
and boishevlst organizations in other
countries, including tho German spar-
tlcisls and the Swiss communists.
Lithuanian authorities discovered the
Illicit traveling aftor Lithuania's bor-
ders had been crossed many limes,
and a number of arrests followed.
Not all the couriers were provided
with American papers, but such
forged credential* were found on sev-
eral of the prisoners.
Two men who carried Red Cross
passes admitted they had nothing to
do with the American mission, but in
reality were working for the com-
munists. One woman, similiarly
equipped, said she had been Instruct-
ed to deliver document* to persons she
did not know personally.
Moat Interesting of the captures
were two men enroute to Moscow by
way of Berlin. They carried letters
concealed In their neckties. One of
them was German and ft member of
the independent sodafjst party lot
. Germany, and the other was a Swiss
belonging to an extremists' organlza-
1 tion culled the socialist-democratic
organization of young people in
Switzerland. >' .
The German carried a letter from
. the head of a spartlcist organization
, in Germany to M. Tchitcherin, Rus-
sian bolshevik minister of foreign af-
' fairs. The letter Indignantly denied
the report that German spartaclsts
were counter revolutionary to the
Russian bolshevists. It declared that
Karl Radek (the bolshevik propa-
gandist who recently left Berlin)
could testify to the writer's com-
munist sympathies. It was said fur-
ther by the writer that he was ar-
ranging with the Russian boishevlst,
ZInovieff, with regard to spreading
communist propaganda In all parts of
the world by special courier service
from Berlin.
Another letter seized, which was
Written by the same German, stated
he had succeeded In Inducing a staff
of engravers to print American,
French and German passports for the
tlSe of couriers and suggested that
the sovlets make similar arrange-
ments for couriers from Russia to
Germany.
Under interrogation the German
courier declared the German indepen-
dent socialists would attack and over-
come the German government the
moment they were assured of support
from Lenlne.
MEXICAN SCORES AMERICANS
FLYING ACROSS THE BORDER
(Associated Preaa patch.)
Mexico City, Feb. 1.—Criticism of
American aviators flying over Mex-
ican territory was again expressed by
Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treas-
ury, in conversation with newspaper
men yesterday. He referred espe-
cially to two fliers who have landed
near Guerrero because their gaso-
line was exhausted. The secretary as-
serted these Incursions were viola-
tions of sovereignty, and that repre-
sentations would be made to Wash-
ington. <

Franklin D. Roosevelt Confesses
Taking Responsibility on Himself
for Preparedness Plans for Navy
(Associated Preaa Diapateh.)
New York, Feb. 1.—In describ-
ing alleged conditions of unpre-
paredness In the American navy
prior to the war with Germany,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Franklin D. Roosevelt declared
tonight in an address at Brooklyn
that as the result of his efforts to
obtain an adequate program of
action he had "committed enough
illegal acts to put him in jail for
999 years." He said he undoubt-
edly would have been impeached
If he had made "wrong guesses."
"Two months after war was de-
clared," said Mr. Roosevelt, "I
saw that the navy was still unpre-
pared and I spent forty millions
for guns before congress gave me
or any one permission to spend
any money." The assistant secre-
tary said that before the war he
"was opposed by the president,
who said that he did not want to
commit any overt act of war but
• who added that he was following
a definite course In an effort to
avert a war." In March 1917,
Mr. Roosevelt said, he suggested
Admiral Sims as the head of the
lnter-allled fleet. He paid a trib-
ute to Annapolis naval academy
and said that the 3,000 officers
and students there at the' out-
break of the war deserved much
' credit for helping to train the
great naval forces.
Explaining how Admiral Sims
went first to Europe, Mr. Roose-
velt said that early in 1917 ha
was called to Washington hur-
riedly when a request was re-
ceived from the British admiralty
that an American admiral be sent
over to become acquainted with
European conditions. "In convey-
ing this information to President
Wilson in the presence of Secre-
tary Daniels," he continued,
"President Wilson turned to Mr.
Daniels and asked 'who shall we
send?' Mr. Daniels said there
were several men that could be
sent over and he suggested that
he be given a few days to make a
selection. On the spur of the mo-
ment, I suggested Admiral Sims.
Both President Wilson and Sec-
retary Daniels agreed and it was
decided that Admiral Sims start
immediately."
PRIZE OFFERED FOB
SIGNAL TO PLANEFS
NOTED FRENCH ACADEMY WILL
ACT AS JUDGE OF BEST
PLANS.
(Associated Preaa Dispatch.)
Paris, Feb. 1.—The Academy of
Science evidently considers communi-
cation between the earth and the
planets as among the possibilities, for
It has undertaken to act as judge for
a prize of 100,000 francs to be given
for the best means of making a sign
to a heavenly body and the receipt
of a reply.
It has been the custom of the acad-
emy always to refuse to handle prizes
for any feat which it considers a mere
waste of time. In presenting the pres-
ent prize for competition the academy
makes the proviso that "the planet
Mars is included as- being sufficiently
known."
"Until & solution Is obtained," says
the academy's announcement, "the in-
terest In the prise money will form
a prize for scientists making the
greatest progress in knowledge of the
planets and their relation to the
earth."
Viscount Grey Explains
to Great Britain Treaty
Status in United States
(Associated Preaa Diapateh.)
London, Feb. 1.—It Is evident from
the tone of editorial comment on Vis-
count Grey's recent estimate of Amer-
ica's position on the League of Nations
that It set forth conditions little un-
derstood before. Viscount Grey's
statement declared the hesitation of
the United States In accepting the
League of Nations Is not due to hos-
tility to the principle, but the consti-
tutional questions and caution as to
the possible effects of entering the
league.
With the situation clearly explained
by such an authority, newspapers
here seem willing to give the United
States the benefit of the argument
that she Is willing to make a radical
departure from her former policy
without due consideration. The let-
ter Is viewed as a powerful appeal to
America to enter the league, and the
Sunday Observer pleads for the estab-
lishment of the league quickly, even
If It is only a consultatory board, with-
out the United States.

SPIES TO OE SHOT
10 FRANCE T001!
TWO MEN MUST PAY THE PENAL-
TY FOR THEIR ACTIVITY
DURING WAR.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Paris, Feb. 1.—Two spies tomorrow
morning are to pay the death penalty.
They are a former Austrian officer
named Funck and Louis Guaspare, a
German agent.
Funck was a major In the Austrian
Infantry regiment 51. He was a Ger-
man spy before the war. His release
papers asserted that he was an Irish-
man, which enabled him to remain in
Paris In the' employ of a bank until
July, 1915, when he left auddenly for
Barcelona, where he met Baron von
Roland, head of the German spy ser-
vice In Spain. His suddeajlttcarture
from Paris aroused suspicion and In-
vestigation proved that he always had
been a spy. It was proven that Funck
gave the Germans information as to
the points where the shells from the
German "big Bertha" fell In Paris,
and enabled the Germans to make
rectifications in their aim. He was
captured as he crossed the Spanish
frontier, going to France to get a par-
cel. He was court martlaled and con-
demned to death in June, 1919.
Guaspare was a pupil In a school
for spying at Freiburg, Grand Duchy
of Baden before he was captured.

GREAT SCARCITY OF GOODS
High Exchange Hates Partly Respon-
sible far Falling Off of Exports to
Europe.—More Spindles In United
States.—Cotton Seed Now Becoming
An Important Factor in Industry.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Feb. 1.—Although the
1919 crop was the fourth successive
"small" cotton crop produced both In
this country and throughout the
world, the "carry over" at the end of
the season In the United States was
the largest ever recorded, as shown by
the statistics in the census bureau's
annual report on cotton production
and distribution for the season 1918-
1919, just issued by Sam L. Rogers,
director. The world's total for the
four crops, not Including llnters in
the United States, was 70,883,000
equivalent 500-pound net weight bales
compared with 87,3X5,000 bales for
the preceding four years.
Two factors were mainly responsible
for this condition, the report sajri.
The actual quantity of cotton con-
sumed in Europe was very much be-
low normal, although there had never
been such scarcity of cotton goods
since the period immediately follow-
ing the Civil war, and transportation
facilities for exporting cotton had not
yet become normal. Another factor
was the inability on the part of Eu-
rope to purchase cotton freely because
of unsuitable conditions in some of the
countries and the extraordinary high
rates of exchange.
Consumption In America.
Consumption of cotton in the United
States during the cqLLon year which
ended July 31, 1919, was the smallest
for any year since 1915. Compared
with 1918 It showed a reduction of
nearly a million and a half bales, the
quantity. Including lintero, having
been 6,223,887 bales. The heavy de-
crease was largely due to the reducd
consumption of llnters owing to the
cessation of hostilities In Europe. The
reduction waB about 700,000 bales on
that account. Lint cotton consump-
tion. was 5,705,936 bales and linters
457,901 bales.
The rapidly Increasing manufacture
of cotton In the cotton growing utates
Is shown In an Increase of nearly 2,-
000,000 spindles in that section since
1914, the total at the end of the 1919
cotton year being 14,9 86,311, Masra-
chusetts leads in the number ot spin-
dles with 11,630,397. South Carolina
comes second with 4,955,765, while
North Carolina Is close with 4,789,322.
Rhode Island Is fourth wltn 2,678,180
and Georgia fifth with 2,518,059.
In consumption of lotton, Massa-
chusetts also leads with 1,324,815
bales, while North Carolina Is In sec-
ond place with 1,035,717 bales.
South Carolina's consumption was
764,7946 bales and eGorgia's 702,67
bales.
Utilizing Cotton Seed.
The utilization ot what was former-
ly considered a waste and In many
instances a nuisance. Is shown In the.
statistics of cotton seed and cotton
seed products, which had a combined
value of $383,580,000 for the year.
Production of cotton seed was 5,360,-
000 tons, of which 4,478,508 tons were
used in manufacture. Crude products
obtained were, oil, 176,711,000 gallons,
valued at $227,316,000; cake and meal,
2,170,000 tons, valued at $116,119,000;
hulls 1,137,000 tons valued at $17,917,-
000 and llnters Included at $22,228,-
000.
Exports were 23,827,978 gallons of
cotton seed oil, and 155,813 tons of

fidence that the American people

us into tho war," added Secretary
Daniels, "was that small pooples have
tho right to liberty and to control
their own destinies. Khali America
alone fail in sustaining that principle?
I do not believe it. I am confident
that tho American people will respond
to thlii call. Give to Armenia pre-
sent relief from the perils of starva-
tion ami then provide for the free-
dom of the country from the rule ot
ther Turk. They will respond to this
call as tliey have responded to every
call made upon them since April 6,
1017."
Secretary Daniels In speaking of
the navy said that the popular Idea of
(he navy was that it oHily exists as
a fighting machine. Tills, ho added,
is Its chief mission, but If it had not
proved a powerful agency In protect-
ing the people and upholding tha
dignity of the flag at all times it
had failed of its mission. In the war,
he declared, It had proved its worth
and had done Its full share In bring-
ing ahout peace.
There was nothing tho matter with
the American navy during the war,
James W. Gerard, former ambassador
to Germany, said In a brief address.
"The trouble with the secretary la
that he Is too good natured," added
Mr. Gerard. "If I had been secretary
of the navy and a bunch of admirals
or anybody else had formed a soviet
board of criticism, I would have had
them on the slide and their heads In
tho basket inside of twenty-four
hours."
Capt. George B. Hyde, a near east
relief worker, told of horrible condi-
tions and suffering in Armenia and
charged that the Turkish leaders were
still attempting "to wipe out the Ar-
menian people." He declared that
more than 2,000,000 men, women and
children had been deported to Tur-
key. He described at length tha
Turkish treatment of Armenian wo-
men, which ho declared to be tha
"blackest crlmo of all horrors."
"Not far from a million Christians
have been murdered by their Turk-
ish oppressors." Henry Morgenthau,
former ambassador to Turkey declar-
ed. "Hungry, terror-stricken, hun-
dreds of thousands of refugees now
look to the United States for succor."
