Three years ago Steinhauer even had the unparalleled effrontery with the know ledge and connivance of the Kaiser, to come to London and make his temporary headquarters at Buckingham Palace

A few days ago, during the hearing of an espionage charge at Bow-street Police Court, Mr. Bodkin, Counsel for the Treasury, said that Steinhauer's name had figured in almost every espionage case investigated in this country in recent years; but it is questionable whether the British authorities themselves know of the astounding extent of Steinhauer's plots to discover Great Britain's naval and military secrets.

It was Steinhauer who was at the head of that widespread organisation of spies which was the subject of a sensational statement issued by the Home Secretary last week, desk.

SHIPOWNEL AND BROKER SENT FOR TRIAL!

An allegation of bagus transactio is designed to prevent the Government from confiscating the property of aliens was made last month at Newcastle-on-Tyne in a case in which the defendants were Frederick Peterson, forty-eight, a natural- ised British subject born in Germany, described as head of H.

were also directors, those being Seed and Petersen and two brothers named Horn, both Germans, one resident in Lubeck and one in Schleswig. Each of the brothers Horn held thirty-six £100 shares, and on September 4 Seed wrote to Petersen suggesting that it would be advisable to transfer the shares of F. and H. Born to himself and Petersen equally until the and of the war, as there was some talk of German interests in this country being commandoered. The transfer was made, but there had been no application for the transfer from the Horns, and the docu ments were bogus.

Those actions contravened the Com- panies Acts and were forgery, as they created false documents. The transaction was also trading with the enemy, because in the terms of the proclamation it was trading with the enemy to enter into any commercial transaction not only with the enemy but also for the enemy's benefit.

The evidence of Seed's cashier, Leighton, showed that the transfer certificates were made out at Beed's instructions and the minute of the supposed meeting authoris

DEST OF FRIENDS.

The Kaiser is Steinhauer's best friend and Steinhauer is the Kaiser's best friend at least the Kaiser reposes in him a confidence which he reposes in very few other men.

Seven or eight years ago Steinhauer was placed at the head of the German Secret Service. The Kaiser gave him a free hand to organise a complete service, of spies in Britain, and in order that the work should not suffer from lack of funds Steinhauer had at his command just as much money as he required.
