Trustworthy Friends

Perfidy of Kaiser's Staff
Demonstrated to Shut
Up Peace Talk.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-Secreary
secret German correspondence again
today to shed further light upon what
the German foreign office and gem
eral staff were doing in this country
while nominally at peace with the
United States.

Wcll-Known Men.
OF the three mer mentioned in the
second message MacGarrity is p, orra-
incnt Irish leader of Philadelphia. and
jeremiah 0'Leary, besides heading tho
American Truth society. is editor Of
Eull, publication recently barred
from the mail as seditious. While no
one at the state department would un-
dertake to positively identify the John
i. keating, II was assumed that Ii,
man referred to was John L. KeaoIis
OF Chicago. and that Easement did not
know that he had been dead for sew
erai months.
There was no official attempt to
identify the Doctor Hale recon-
mended by Won lsernstorff as an au-
thority on the work of the embargo
on which liharallN hnn1-

Hale, one envoy of President Wilson

of the president, was In Perlin about

terms with the German government
Doctor Hale's attitude on the embargo
question is said to have strained his
relations at the White House before
he went to Germany.
VIII Stop Peace Talk.
Secretary Lansing has conferred
with the French ambassador and
with the British ambassador, in the
latter case as recently as yesterday,
and II is understood that the start
ling disclosure made today, as well as
the same source, has been made with
the iull knowledge and approval OF
the entente governments. That they
will have an effect upon the French
and British publics, as we'll as in
America, is fully realized here. In all
three countries where there mas been
moro or less agitation in-favor OF an
immediate peace, even If inconclusive,
the governments have found II neces-
ssry to exert themselves to prevent
such a spread OF pacifist ideas as
might Jeopardize the success Of the
armies In the field.
The keystone Of the arch upon
which any such peace negotiations
must rest is recognition Of the honor
and integrity of the German govern
ment in Its International engagements.
THIS further demonstration Of the per-
fidy and dishonor Of German official
dom. II is hoped in administrative cir
cles. will tend to silence much OF the
prO-German peace propaganda, not
only in America, but among the en-
tente powers of Europe.
