Charge That German ALI
ance Backs Gore, Nc
Lemore, Etc.
EXPOSE BY THE
NEW YORK WORLD
Shows Teutons Are Force
Behind the Congress
sional Resolutions

New York, March s.--The World, in {
copyrighted article, said, in part, yester
day:
Documentary evidence in the posses
sion of The World shows that the .driv
ing force back of the Gore resolution and
the McLemore resolutions is the Nation
al German American alliance.
The clearing house of the alliance in
its congressional campaign is conducted
lane, New York City.
The principal agent in dealing with
Congress is I. L. Marsalis, New York
real estate operator, with offices at so
Church street.
The congressional program of the Ma
tional GermantAmerican alliance com
prises three measures:
|. Refusing passports to Americans
travelling on ships of the belligerents.
2. An embargo on contraband of war.
3. Prohibiting federal reserve banks
from subscribing to foreign war loans,
This is the immediate work. Back of
it is a comprehensive program for the
control of the Republican national con
vention and the defeat of President Will
son in the interest of the German cause.
This plan is known to the inside CO.
terie of German leaders who are in
charge of the work as the WISCONSIN
idea" because it was formally indorsed
by the Wisconsin Stats Nerbrand des
Deutsch Amerikansiehen Nationalbundes.
The idea itself, however, originated with
DR.. Hexamer.
incidentally, it appears that the re-
cent revival of the Champ Clark 'boom'
was due to a suggestion from Richard
Bartholdt, former Republican congress
man from st. Louis, who has long been
one of the leading representatives of the
German propaganda in the United States.
