FOUNDED SALT LANSING REVEALS PLOT bargains in used cars Washington. Seretary Lansing made a startling revelation on September 21 in the briefest but most significant chapter of German intrigue the state department has yet disclosed. His statement follows: The secretary of state issues the following statement from Ambassador Bernstorff to the Berlin foreign office dated January 22, 1917: request authority to pay out $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) in order, as on former occasions, to influence congress through the organization you know of, which can perhaps prevent war. am beginning in the meantime to act accordingly. In the above circumstances, a public official German declaration in favor of Ireland is highly desirable in order to gain the support of Irish influences here. This message was sent to the kaiser through the Berlin foreign office just prior to the beginning of Germanys undersea campaign. Secretary Lansing said the government had proof that the message was BUCHAREST REPORTS PLANTING MICAND EXPLOSIVES ROBES BY TEUTONS.

Bern-stor- ff I WHEN FATHER Washington. The revelation that Count von Bernstorff, trusted adviser of Emperor William and at present ambassador to Turkey, headed the German propaganda of bribery that sought to keep this country out of war when Germany entered upon her ruthless campaign of submarine warfare exploded like shrapnel In Washington on Friday. officials congressmen, Diplomats, nnd various propagandists were amazed. Congress immediately began to talk of investigation. Secretary of State Lansing gave out a letter of Bernstorff In which the 0 ambassador asked the kaiser for to influence congress. It seemed certain that the Bernstorff communication was forwarded through a .neutral government. The state department refused to confirm this or to indicate whether its suspicions were directed to any neutral source. The mystery of the society which Bernstorff was to use had Washington awake from one end of Pennsylvania avenue to the other. The names mentional in connection a with the German activities in are already well known. They include scores of Individuals whose records have been looked up by the department of justice and whose strange activities have been the basis of more than one quiet secret service TELLS A JOKE Mother Sees Nothing Funny In It and Daughters Glance Is Expressive of Her Pity. j When a man hears a joke which his primitive sense of humor classifies as the funniest thing he had ever heard he hurries ings to his home to bear the glad tidwife.

Secretary-Lansin- g made public this startling Bernstorff document, he not only had the goods on Bernstorff but on his connections in the United States. Bernstorffs Duplicity Cleverly Seen. The communication made public by Secretary Lansing not only reveals Ambassador Bernstorff standing forth for the first time as the actual directing head of a bribery propaganda, but exposes the efforts of Germany to use this country as a buffer while Teuton rutldessness was employed in its most effective measures. While Count von Bernstorff has been exposed early In the year as passing a note from Foreign Minister Zimmer-man- n to Count von Eckhardt in Mexico to City drag Japan and Mexico into a war with this country, the German representative had not been shown to have any direction of the payment of money to finance intrigues, or as being the real head. Today he is set up as a shining example of German duplicity, indicating s. na-;t- , r basl son Washington. How Germany shamefully abused and exploited the protection of the United States by secreting in the German legat(on at Bucharest, after the American government had taken charge of Germanys affairs at the Roumanian capital, quantities of powerful explosives for bomb plots and deadly microbes, with Instructions for their use in destroying horses nnd cattle, was revealed on September 23 by Secretary Lansing. It was another of the series of Mr. Lansing's disclosures of German intrigue, made public without comment in the same manner as the Von telegrams which have brought Argentina to the verge of war with Germany, the Von Eckhardt li .ter from Mexico City and the Von Bernstorff telegram asking the German foreign office for authorization to spend $50,000 in influence congress. The latest story Is told In a report to the state department from William Whiting, Andrews, secretary of the legation of Bucharest, and a letter from Foreign Minister Porumbaru of Roumania. Suspicion Aroused. Parcels and boxes taken into the German consulate at Bucharest with display of great precaution aroused the suspicions of the Roumanian government. On August 27, 1916, the evening pi'ior to the date of Roumanias declaration of war, some of the cases were taken to the German legation, located in a different building from the consulate. Convinced that the boxes were not taken away from the legation by the German diplomatic mission on its Lux-bur- g sition. Italy was sending to this country a delegation to impress this imperative necessity of ships, coal and supplies for her army just about to enter its greatest offensive. Russia was turbulent. German influence thought it was about to reap its coveted prize of a disrupted enemy in the east. The Russian armies were reported pn the point of revolt and retreat. The people themselves were in a turmoil. Germany had pushed into the enemy country. Entrenched and fortified, she felt that Russias effectiveness as an ally was ended. Japan was too far away to be of material, monetary aid. With this situation before her, Germany felt that she could win through her submarine campaign, which was to be pushed to extremities of inhumanity never before heard of in warfare. Her propagandists in this country had been hard at work when on January 22 President Wilson sent his address to He appealed to the warring o enter. to negotiations. He sought peace without victory. Then Count von Bernstorff sent his message.
