the outbreak of the war, and fled to
.Mexico, where lie was offered a post
lion as a Dorman spy to operate
against the United Slates, by Kurt

in Mexico.
With pretended reluctance, but
with secret joy, I accepted.” he said
"and at once found my sell in a posi
lion lo render valuable service to I lie
allies in general and the United St ilea
■it particular.”
lie opened communication with the
holder as a volunteer worker for the
Military Intelligence Department, he
claims, and later was sworn in as a
special agent of the Military Intelli-
gence Department.
The association slates ii has investi
gated his claims and Unit Mat Hum
ough Uhurclihill, head of the intelli
Hence department, “spoke in highest
terms of the zeal and trustworthiness
of Dr. Altendorf, and the great value
ol the service he rendered."
In addition lo explaining his activi-
ties in Mexico Dr. Altemlorl warns Hie
people of the United Slates against a
proposed German commercial con
quest of Mexico.
"Within six months after the Unit-
mi Si all's ratilies I he treaty of peace,"
In said, "(lennany will have complete
economic control ol Mexico. Within
a very lew years, if they are permitted
tc carry out the plans they have lor
undated ami are now executing us fast
us they can. the Hermans will have ab
solute economic, political and mil 11 itry
control ol Latin America, with head
quarters in Mexico."
Referring to the proposed invasion
i I the United Stales Dr. Altendorf sets
forth that in his dual capacity ns a
('upiain hi the (lertuan army and a
Uohmel in the Mexican army, he help
on lo train tljiun Cerman reservists in
Sonora, who were to form the nucleus
of the proposed Centum Mexican army,
and that in his true character as an
American secret service agent he pro
vented the laid from being carried out
"The ambitious scheme," he said,
"was financed by Von Kckhardt, (let
man Ambassador to Mexico, and was
undertaken with the co-operation of
Uanuiua." Dr Utondorf, enumerating
his services in Mexico, in part says
"1 delivered into the hands of the
United Stales military the Cerman

capture of the war so for as America
was concerned. Wuhirski boasted to

request from Covernor < alles, <>1 So

ill al Cuaymas, for $150,1100, saw the
money pnt in a bag and carried the
bag, accompanied by Iladciiiacher, to

Donlinuing. the statement says:
I was able lo discover that Von
Kckhardt has guaranteed to Uarran/.a
n abundance ol capital to turn Mex
ten into an industrial country. In
tact, Von Kckhardt went lo Germany
last April for the express purpose ol
financing Cerman corporations and
perfecting other arrangements lor
building the chemical plants, textile
lactories. tanneries and all the other
industries necessary to make Mexico
independent of Hie United Stales and
1< m ope.
"As soon as the treaty is ratified
there will he a hegira of a quarter ol
;• million Hermans from the United
Stall's who will lake with them to
Mexico $-|oii,000,000 capital. There tire
already 150,000 Cermans in Mexico
and Cerman immigration on a large
scale will soon turn Hie country into a
Cerman colony.

"The full significance of all this be

Congressman Hutton W, Sumners,
ieprcseiltaiive of I he Dallas Distl'iel
in the Federal Congress, deplores the
encroachments ol Hie federal Govern-
ment tin the authority of the Stales,
lie says:
Without any evidence of a reaction
Hie absorption of power by the Federal
Government is growing continually.
And ii must be admitted that il Has

people themselves. Even high Stale
otficials are continually calling upon
Congress for appropriations to aid
i urely State enterprises and such prac-
tices lead finally to the full assumption
oi control by the Federal Government.!
My judgment is that the Federal Gov
eminent should be returned to its for-
mer tiasis with the States left free to
handle the matters that are ot Stall
concern only. But Hie trend is in the
other direction and with constantly in-
creasing momentum.

John Kirby, millionaire lumberman
of Houston has accepted the post of
chairman of the Salvation Army
home service drive in Texas, which
will begin in Oklahoma, Texas, Ar-
kansas and Louisiana September 29
for $1,000,000.
Mr. Kirby will be associated in the
drive with Governor J. B. A. Robert-
son who is heading the drive from
Oklahoma City, and Governor R G.
Pleasant of Louisiana. Governor Hob-
by of Texas is acting in an honor-
ary capacity on the Texas commit
tee.
"Mr. Kirby was selected to head
the state committee because of his
popularity with the citizens of Tex-
as," Lieutenant Commander George
Wood of the Dallas Salvation Army
post declared yesterday. "His long
association with the financial inter-
ests of the state make virtually cer-
tain the success of the home service
campaign.”
General in Scope
The home service campaign will be
general throughout the United States.
The money asked of the nation is
$13,000,000. The share of the south-
western group of states directed from
Dallas is set at $1,000,000. On an es-
timated population of 5,000,000 for
Texas, Oklahoma and the sections of
Arkansas and Louisiana included in
the territory the amount required
will reach 20 cents per capita.
The Salvation Army funds raised
in the great cities of the southwest
will be spent in the cities from which
it is donated. The money will be
spent entirely for the betterment of
home conditions.
"The question has been asked by
a farmer as to what his interest is
in the city development of the Salva-
tion Army is,” Lieutenant Colonel
Woods of 1he Dallas office said yes-
terday. “The interest is strong. It
affects him directly. It strikes at
his family.
City Life Protected
"The welfare of the Salvation Ar-
my is the welfare of his son or
daughter who visits the great cities
of the nation in search of work.
"The boy who comes to the city is
given wholesome surroundings. He
is given a clean bed. He is offered a
place for healthy recreation. He is
taught to avoid the pitfalls of city
life into which he might fall were
he permitted to go his way without
guidance.
“The daughter of the farmer or of
the man from a small town is given
a clean lodging place in the girls’
hotel with board- at a low cost. Many
girls would not be able to success-
fully combat the economic conditions
of which they are ignorant when
they chine to the cities without the
aid of the Salvation Army.
Thousands to Cities
"Thousands of such young people
flock into the cities each year. They
are employed in clothing stores, five
and ten cent shops and telephone
offices. In many cases the wage paid
is insufficient for their needs.
“The Salvation Army steps into the
breach at such times and extends
helping hand.”
The Salvation Army owns in Texas
two rescue, two maternity and two
children's homes. In addition the or-
ganization lias four workingmen’s ho-
tels and two industrial stores. The
rescue, maternity and children’s homes
are at San Antonio and El Paso.
Eighty live working girls and 215
children have been admitted to the
homes in the past year. The new
state fund asked in the Salvation
Army campaign will go in part for the
enlargement of the San Antonio homes.
New buildings and institutions are
planned for Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Twenty-Five in Girls’ Hotel.
The girls' hotel at Dallas maintained
by the Salvation Army now accommo-
dates 25 girls, according to Lieutenant
Colonel George Wood in his report for
the year ending March 31, 1919. These
girls. Mr. Wood declares, are given
clean rooms and wholesome meals
much below the cost for the poorest
kind of board and room obtainable
in Dallas The home is at 171S Cor-
sicana street.
