Washington. - Secretary Lansing
made public as an astounding addi-
tion to the series of disclosures Of
elsewhere a message sent by Count
Won Bernstorff in January of this year
to the Berlin foreign office requesting
authority to pay out $4,000 to influ-
ence Congress through an unnamed
organization apparently known to the
Berlin authorities.
Whether the State Department is in
possession of other evidence indicat-
ing the ambassadors activities has
not been revealed, but the extraordi-
nary disclosures already made have
fixed the belief that agents of the
United States government have col
lected and compiled the entire story
OF German duplicity and intrigue and
that additional chapters will be
added.
The reference to avoiding war is
taken as an indication that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had prior knowledge of
his governments intention to proclaim
a merciless, widespread submarine
warfare, and that he was equally con-
fident that the United States govern
ment could not be easily placated by
mere promises.
The German announcement of it's
intention to expand it's submarine
activities was not made public untfl
Jan. 81, when the world was startled
not only by the determination to re-
move all restrictions, but also by the
statement that it would become effect

"Well, that night the chump turned
up in the smoker again, drunker than

said:
"'Now, then, durn you, you said you
