Lansing Reveals German Plot to Disrupt Canadian Pacific
Secretary Lansing released three German telegrams alleging plans to sabotage the Canadian Pacific Railway and identify saboteurs in the United States. The documents name Joseph Mune Garrity, John P. Keating, and Jeremiah O’Leary as individuals discussed for covert actions, with warnings to avoid railway targets and to keep embassies uncompromised. The disclosures tie Count von Bernstorff to espionage headquarters and note Dr. William Hale’s possible identity in Berlin reports.
