New York.-The New York Herald
Of Friday prints the following story:
The immensely Of Prussian intrigues
against the United States government
was revealed when, through an insig-
nifcant proceeding before Judge Otto
Rosalsky, in general sessions, it be-
came known that agents of the kaiser
had schemed to capture New York,
Washington and Boston; take Presi-
dent Wilson as a prisoner of war and
hold him in Mexico as hostage, and
then simultaneously to invade Canada
from this country, and England from
the French port Of Calais.
Details Of the plot to capture Presi-
dent Wilson were suppressed through
the Intervention Of federal authorities.
Nevertheless, 1t was learned, that In
formation regarding the plot was turn
ed over to, Lindley M. Garrison, then
secretary of war, through Senator
George e. Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate committee on military at.
fairs, to whom 1t YVES given by Count"
May Lynar-Louden, now sering a
sentence for bigamy and confined in
the Denitentiary on BIaEkwell's Island.
"Count" Lynar-Louden was arrested
and convicted on information given to
the federal authorities by a newspa-
per.
Lynar-Louden said he was familiar
with the situation in Canada and that
when the completed program for the
destruction Of the canal was sub
mitted to him, he told Capt. won Papen
that the scheme was impracticable
and never could succeed. Won Papen
and the others concerned in the plot,
he said, laughed at him, and disre-
garded his urgent plea to refrain from
undertaking project doomed to fail
ure. Eventually several men engaged
in the plot were arrested by federal
Investigators and tn scheme failed ut
terly.

ASK NATIONS WAR AIMS
GERMAN NEWSPAPERS BEGIN
OPEN CRITICISM.
Evasive and unlntelllgible Replies to
Questions Weaken German
Position.

The Hague, Netherlands. -Dissatis-
faction over Germany's failure frank.
ly to announce her war aims is open.
ly expressed in German newspaper
editorials reaching here.
1T is deplorable," the Tageblatt de.
clares, that all declarations Of the
German government regarding war
aims are unintelligible, artificial, IN
distinct and of many meanings. We
have remarked this nearly every time
the chancellor has spoken on this sub
ject. In all these cases we have pro
tested that such language was more
harmful than beneficial to the cause of
the German people; that it confirmed
or permitted to continue unchecked
aunexationist aspirations which must
afterward be disappointed; that in for
eign countries it could not win us the
good will Of the paciflsts, but would
be used against us by our war-mad
enemies.
1T was also a mistake, as it since
has been proved that President Will
sons direct question concerning our
war aims was evasively answered by
the statement that they would be
communicated the moment we should
be seated at the green table with the
representatives Of the entente"

ROOT HEADS commission
APPOINTED TO TEACH RUSSIANS
DEMOCRACY.
Accepts Craftsmanship After Confer.
enees With the President and
Secretary Lansing.

Washington, D. C.-Elihu Root,
former secretary of state, after con-
ferences with President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing, formally accepted
the Craftsmanship of the American
commission to Russia.
Root spent an hour with the presi-
dent at the White House discussing
the Russian situation. The president
outlined fully what he desired to ac-
complish.
The commission will be composed
OF three or four principal members
and staff Of secretaries and assist
ants. 1t is expected to depart for
Russia within a few days.
The needs of Russia as outlined to
President Wilson are for political,
financial, transportation and CONNER
cial advice and assistance.
The other commissioners have not
been agreed on, but the name Of
Charles Crane of Chicago, a friend and
unofficial adviser of the president, has
been mentioned. The mission is adj
mittedly going on tremendously diff
ficult and important mission and its
personnel is being selected with great
care.
It is considered likely that some
big men in the railroad industry Of the
United States will be on the mission,
to assist in recognizing Russia's
transportation system.

BRITISH BLACKLIST VeIDED
Certain Ships Charged With Being
Owned by Alien Enemies Are
Now In Regular Trade.

London, England. - The British
blacklist of shipping has been with.
drawn, so far as 1t concerns the
United States.
The British admiralty in October Of
1915 issued a blacklist which as
changed from time to time, has been
in force from that date. AS origin.
ally issued, 1t contained list Of AZ
neutral vessels. 10 Of which were
American. British shippers were warn.
ed to be careful in chartering these
ships, which were seized by the Brit.
ish as being controlled by the German
capital and engaged in unneutral serv.
ice.
Most Of the American ships Of the
list we're owned by the American
Transatlantic Co. and several Of them
were seized by the British.
