CLEVER STROKE MADE
BYBRITZSHFORESTALLS
AMERICAN PROTEST

London advices indicated that Won
Papen not only made payments to
Werner Van Horn, alleged would-b bo
dynamiter of the international bridge
at Vanceboro, Me-, but that he also
furnished funds for Anton Kueperle
(probably Kuepferle), a German spy
suspect VINO later committed suicide.
There was other evidence that Pa
pen sent money to the Seattle consul
previous to suspicious dynamite oc-
currence in that vicinity.
In various letters were indications OF
German displeasure at the Wilson al
ministration. One spoke of Wilson as
being too strong in his representations
to Austria, even for those who Loyalty
backed him.
"The nature of the Won Papen pa.
pers is Of no official interest to me, !"
commented Bernstorff today, refusing
to discuss the case in detail.
The ENJOYS position is that while
he gave Won Papen money, it was a
matter Of convenience, and tnat the at
tache accounted for it to Berlin and
not to the embassy.
Concerning the 500 payment to
Werner Van Horn, alleged dynamiter,
it is expected the embassy viii main
tain that it was for Van Horn 3 de-
fense as German citizen.
The state department intends to
scrutinize carefully the payments of
Won Itapen to Consul Mueller, of Sc.
attic, who is now in charge of the At
lanta consulate. Mueler's explana-
ton that he received the money to send
reservists to New York is considered
one capable of proof or disproof.

Embassy Embarrassed.

Washington, Jan. 15.-German Am
bassador Won Bernstorff today faced
embarrassing explanations as a result
Of disclosure Of money expenditures
shown in documents seized in England
from Captain Won Papen, the recalled
German attache. These documents
showed that under the head of "war
intelligence" an account, he mad turn
ed over to Won Papen large sums and
these, in turn, had been distributed
varously throughout the country just
before certain anti-ally bomb "jobs" "
were executed.
1t was regarded here as possible that
the ambassador will have difficulty in
defending his connection with Won
Papen s work-work that made the at.
tache non-grata with this government.
Officials pointed out tnat conclusive,
legal proof of wrong doing is not re-
quircd to impair the ambassador Is dip.
lomatic usefulness; mere belief or
moral certainty of such misconduct is
sufficient for recall.
London publication Of Won Papen IS
check stubs and letters, many of the
latter bitter against the United States,
created strong interest among officials.
The ambassador, however, reiterated
his skepticism as to the actuality of
these documents coupled with his dis
belief, that if they really do exist, they
showed that Papen used his funds for
criminal conspilacies in the United
States.
The embassy S attitude Is, that while
II admits giving Won Papen frequent
largo sums, it Is ignorant Of any wrong
full use thereof and believes that the
money was used for legitimate expens-
es. Won Bcrnstorff secuted the idea
touch at an English port, would nave
any incriminating documents on mis-
person.
The administration indicated that II
insists on further inquiry and will
probably await Photographic copies Of
the documents now being forwarded by
American Ambassador Page from Lon
don. Authorities were not disposed Ia
accept the embassy disclaimer Of ig
norance as absolving the German dip
omats from responsibility. Won Bern
storff, as Won hpen's s chief, IL was
said, was responsible to q certain ex
tent.
A tangle Of embassy accounting, pre-
cluding positive proof Of misconduct
Of Officials other than Won Papen, Ia
considered possible development.

London, Jan. 15.-The British for
eigh office executed clever stroke, of
ficials declared today in making public
at this time the seized documents Of
German Attache Won Papen, regarded
here as the source of payments for an
italy activities in America. Well
posted authorities believe the publica'
ton Of these, together vita England IS
furnishing them officially to the Uni
ted States state department will check
American agitation for protests against
the British blockade.
One official commented:
"We believe President Wilson will
hesitate, pending an investigation of
Ambassador Won Bernstorff's connec-
tion with the Won Papen payments,
and will discover whether Teuton sub
marine leniency is actuated purely by
a spirit of friendliness for America or
for the purpose Of better carrying out
of the campaign of frightfulness in
America.
Responsible officials stated that
England will not " lnGon ner blockade
against Germany, despite possible Am.
erican protests.
They held, too, that thought this was
originally a measure of reprisal against
TeutOn submarine attacks, it has now
developed into legal war blockade.

The six-part Ivan drama, at the

characters, including an old fool who
was promised IAN earthly paradise"
by designing young woman, whose
sole interest in the near-derelict was
because of his being possessed of an
abundance of this worlds goods. This
situation is not uncommon in life
and the fictional portrayal of "A
Fools Paradise" has for it's incentive
moral above reproach. A capable
cast, including Paula Shay and James
