BELGIAN FOOD
SHIPS UNHURT.
BERLIN AYERS

The Hague, March 10.-The state
ment made on Monday by Sir Maur-
ice de Bunsen, Uder Secretary Of the
British Foreign Office, concerning
Belgian relief, has elected from the
German legation here this reply:
"First-All neutral ships in British
ports, and likewise all relief ships, had
not five hours but five times twenty
four hours time in which to depart.
Whether the assertion is true that
none knew Of the extension of this
period may be left to public judgment.
''Second-The two relief ships re-
ferred to are probably the Lars Kruse
and the Euphrosine. It is uncertain
whether either was torpedoed. The,
Euphrosine was sunk on on an. %,
which was nine days before the an
nouncement of the blockade. Sir
Maurice's references to the increasing
number Of relief ships is the best
proof that they are not being torpedo
ed.
'aThird-Early in February the Re-
lief Commission was notified that the
German authorities would require d
list of ships and their whereabouts
with view to taking measures ac-
cordingly. This was not received by
mid-February; hence it was evidently
not permitted by Great Britain.

in great part by the expose in the AL
bert case,
Documents will be presented prov
ing that Bernstorff, Boy-Ed, Won
Papen and other members Of the I'm
perial German embassy's staff actu-
ally distributed the cash which paid
arson and murder bills.
The evidence will be adduced to
prove the precise ramifications of all
their schemes and just how they
hoped to carry them out.
Thwarted Bernstorff's Plans
Messages showing how Bernstorff
was in constant touch with his For
eign Office despite the statements
which he frequently has made that
he had no method Of discussing sit
uations confidential1y with his SUI
periors will be published. These mes
sages will show that the United States
government knew almost as much
about what TRANSFERRED in the German
Embassy as Bernstorff knew him
self and how the government carefully
thwarted all Of his plans rather than
expose him.
Unless the government changes its
present plans the names of a number
of the big plOtters who have been Sc
-cretly employed by the German gov
eminent will be exposed to the pub
lie for the first time. They have been
concealed up to the present because
the Secret Service desired to use the
information in furtherance Of the gov
ernment's purpose. 1t is probable sew
eral indictments Of American citizens
who have been relatively prominent
at other times may precede the pub
LEGATION of their names in the White
Book.
The book also will feature the fact
that while Germany has been seek
ing to damage the United States IN
every direction, the United States has
been representing the German gov
eminent at all of the belligerent cap
itals of the Entente Powers, and
American officials have been working
night and day to care for German
prisoners of war.

bulls that stick their heads down and

that stand under trees, in pools, chew
their cuds, and behave in perfectly
sedate and quiet manner. I am not

close to the fence and patted them
many times, and as for the. cow who

WILSON TO LAY,
BARE PLOTS OF
TEUTON AGENTS
Will Publish Unparalleled Re-
cord of InSidiOuS Con-
spiracies.

Washington, March 10-The State
Department is preparing for publica-
ton a record Of the crimes which the
German government has committed
against, the government and people
Of the United States.
The decision to lift the veil which
has hidden from the public eye many
of Germanys most insidious conspir-
acies recently was reached at meet
ing between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing. They agreed that
the hour is rapidly approaching when
prudence will prompt disclosures SO
that the people Of the country may
known from official and unquestioned
documents ust what this government
has been subjected to.
Proof of Wide Conspiracy
The forthcoming publication will
present, with documentary proof, the
intrigue and plotting that the agents
or attempted to perpetrate against a
friendly people.
The administration has not decided
whether the book will be handled as
simple pamphlet and given out for
be sent to the Senate to be incorpor-
ated into the records of that body as
an historical resume Of the. relations
between the United States and Ger
many.
1t is highly probable that the latter
course, will be followed, because Mr.
Lansing desires to put the record
where it will remain forever on the
rolls of the government.
Warning to Latin America
The document is expected to be OF
especial value in Latin America. II
is believed it will be the best possible
| warning to those countries against
the intrigues which Germany has fos-
tered in every capital on this hemis-
phere during the last few years. The
administration hopes also it will ten6
to- ALLEVIATE from their German en-
| p1oyers the little ring Of crooked poll
! ticians who are seeking to induce
| Carranza to fall i1Y with the Kaiser
! plans, either openly or covertly.
| : Confidential employees at the De
partment of State and the Depart
| ment of Justice have been chosen tt
compile the documents from the Sc
cret archives of the government. Pres
| ident Wilson already has turned ovel
| to Secretary Lansing a section of thu
documents which have been kept UNI
der lock and key in his private office
at the White House.
Bernstorff Handled Murder Cash.
A section Of the record will be de-
voted to the purely diplomatic CORE
sbonence of a confidential character
! which has passed between Washing
ton and Berlin, with side lights fur
nished by other American embassies
and legations in European capitals.
The second section will give in de-
tail the proof of how the German
government, acting through Count
Won Bernstorff and his aids, fostered
engineered and financed the campaign
Of lawlessness which was shown UT
