ARREST OF A GERMAN IN NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, February 25th,

The New York American pablishes, and various other newspapers reproduce in part, the confessions of a German naval roservist called Stegler, which, if sub- stantiated, will confirm. the current suspicion that German Embassy officials. are implicated in finding fraudulent American passports for German spics and reservists.

Stegler was arrested last night on a charge of complicity in the passport frauds. His story is that Capt. Bay Ed, the German Naval Attaché, asked him to go to England under an assumed Ameri, can name, to establish the position of one of the British battleship fleets and send nows to New York, whence it could be

These latter are which it would seem that Captain Boy-Ed,connecting links between different sections at any rate, offered Stegier £5 a week for of the railway line and are therefore some sort of employment, and that Stegler essentially a portion of the railway had made remarks, incomprehensible to transportation system, and it is not pro- Captain Boy-Ed, about the possibility of a “disgraceful step.

Y Stegler's confession describes at length how he met Captain Boy-Ed, how he con- sented by degrees to go to England as a spy, how he bought the birth certibeate of an American citizen, got a passport, and was instructed to sail in the Lumtama,

In London he was to investigate the Thames and afterwards go ma Holland to the German frontier.⠀ SE

The company proposes to transfer these chips to a steamship company with which the business relations will be the same as they are with outside steamship lines that exchange traffic with the railway com pany Heretofore all expenditures for the acquisition and construction of these ocean steamships were borne by the rail- way company and included amongst the liabilities in its balance sheets, Hereafter it is proposed that the steamship company shall itself secure the requisite money for these purposes by the issue of its own. securities.

He has, however, of directors of the Canadian Pacifie caused much annoyance to officials here, Ocean Services (Limited).
