Another lie which the kaiser

Police officer Rivard, who ac-
companied the ambulance, found
Boitano's legs among the debris.
The trousers, underclothing shoes
and socks were still intact. The
limbs were brought to Tacoma by
the police.
Street railway officials were
unwilling to lay any blame for the
accident until complete inves-
tigation had been made. The
public service commission will
probably probe the accident.
William Pierce, one of the pas
sengers on Boitano's car, was one

"J am beginning in the mean
time to act accordingly.
In the above circumstances
public official declaration in favor
of Ireland Is highly desirable, in
order to gain the support of irish
influence here e"
This revelation on the heels OF
the observation-disclosures
Observation-Disclosures exposure and
coupled with the Zimmerman
Mexican-Japanese plot note,
clinches this governments conten-
ton that Germany carried on
active plottings and propaganda
all over the world.
Irish Tip Needed
This startling message, how
ever. was the first positive evil
dence made public, that Bern
storff had personal guilty knowl-
edge of the German intrigue In
this nation.
1t had long been suspected that
he was the directing head Of anti
American work and this govern
ment has proved that this col
league, the Austrian ambassador,
was conducting vicious plot
while two countries were at peace.
Bernstorff's advice concerning
Ireland was apparently Needed,
for in one of her peace pronuncia-
mentoes, Germany made much of
the fact that she was for home rule
in Ireland and India.
Just Before Sub Change
The date of the communication
was at the time when Germany
and the United States were direct
ly on the verge Of breaking rela-
tions, and in less than 10 days
later the Teutons put into effect
their unwarned summarizing de-
cree.
It is significant also that dur
ing this particular period, Bern
storff was telling the press that
he would do all In his power to
prevent war between Germany and
the United States.
And he continued to say even
after the break that he would use
his influence upon reaching Berlin
to avoid actual hostilities.
Bernstorff, while processing to
feel kindly toward America.
wished to avoid war simply for the
reason that American strength
would turn the balance against
Germany, authorities say.
Organization Secret
The state department did not
announce the name of the organi-
yation which was to handle 1.-The
$50, 900. tho probably investiga-
tion has given the government a
line on its identity.
The state department said that
even before he sent his message
Bernstorff knew thru secret
channel" that hts government
planned unrestricted summarizing
and clearly foresaw the break
with the United States.
Therefore. Germany was trying
to render America impotent by
keeping her busy with Mexican
troubles and influencing pacifist
congressman to prevent war.
The department would not COM
ment upon whether Jeremiah
O'Leaiy, and former Congressman
Buchanan or the labor peace coun-
ell had been In any way connected
with Bernstorff's message.
| Just how the message came in
to the American governments pos
session is kept secret.
The latest Teuton intrigue ex-
pose is deemed likely to further
convince the German people that
their government is a sinister
thing.
