Washington. - Secretary Lansing
made public as an astounding addi.
tion to the series of disclosures of
German intrigues in America and
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 indcat-
ing the ambassadors activities has
not been revealed, but the eXtraordi-
nary disclosures already made have
fixed the belief that agents of tho
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
ftdent that the United States govern
ment could not be easily placated by
mere promises.
The German announcement of it's
intention to expand its submarine
activities was not made public until
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
i've on the following day
Three days later the United States
government had expressed it's disap-
proval by severing relations with Ger

Her Choice.

Hazel was at a loss to make a choice
between two young sprouts in her gar
den of love. She desired hardy plant,
one that would thrive in any soil and
under any conditions. No shadow must
prevent the sprout selected from grow

Every day could not have it's full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing to
the eye. Then came day when the
wind blew hard-a draft from one end
Of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from the
biting blast. The other thrived and
grew as though 1t had been blessed
with continual sunshine. Now Hazel
is happy. Her choice has been made
