"BERNSTORFF."
Along in the latter part of March the
plot began to thicken. Bolo had been
financed and was ready to spring the
propaganda and operate other inhu-
ences, perhaps. which were expected to
make the French government receptive
to peace proposals. Tnereupon Bern
storff sent the following telegram to
Won Jagow:
Number 500, March 20.-With ref
erence 10 telegram number 6s5, please
advise our Minister in Berne that
some one will call on him who will
give him the password "Sanct Regis"
who wishes 10 establish relations
with the Foreign Office. Intermediary
further requests that influence may
be brought to bear upon our press to
pass over the change In the inner
political situation in France so far as
possible in silence In order that
things may not be spoiled by German
approval. BERNSTORFF."
learned more of the peace plot en-
gineered By Bernstorf. He knew that
Bolo Pacha was the ringleader, but he
became anxious over the lack Of results
from the expenditure OF SO large sum
of money. SO he wired Won Bernstorf
the following:
Number 206, May 81. The person
announced in telegram 692. of March
90, has not yet reported himself at
the legation at Berne. Is there any
more news on your side OF Bolo?
"JAGOW."
In tho New York inquiry it was
brought out that Bolo had a friend"
in Switzerland. through whom he had
learned the terms on which Germany
would conclude peace with France.
These terms. Bolo said. called for
the cession by France 10 Germany Of
certain of the French colonies in eN-
change for part Of Alsace- Lorraine
and the evacuation Of all of Northern
France by the German armies.
Americans In Case?
One angle Of the Bolo disclosures
that has not been cleared up and that
may lead to further sensational de-
vlopments is that referring to the ef-
forts OF the Frenchman 20 induce
some Americans of influence" to join
him in the plot Whether any Ameri-
cans actually were brought into Bolo's
net has not been divulged.
The period between February 26,
1916, and March 8. 1916, in which de-
tails of payment Of the Sl,700,000 fund
TO Bolo Pacha were arranged, is re-
garded here as the turning point OF the
war
Germany Expected Victory
Germany was in the first flush OF ex-
pected victory at Nerdun. Germany
had announced as effective February %
a new campaign of submarine warfare
against armed ships.
The McLemore resolution was up in
Congress. Bryan was in Washington
marshalling pacifst support in Con-
gress 10 force the Administration TO
bow TO Germany on the submarine
issue.
With pacifst sentiment in the United
States stronger than at any time before
or since in this war, and the formidable
land and submarine offensive opera
tions Germany was planning, Won Bern
storf evidently believed the psycholog-
ical moment had arrived for a master

Of Deposits Here

Which Received the
Money

Investigations conducted by Attorney
General Lewis into the activities OF
Bolo Pacha here have revealed the ex-
istence of a German corruption fund
Of almost incredible proportions, which
was employed by Won Bernstorf and
his associates in attempts TO debauch
the press, Buy pacifist sentiment
throughout the nation, and, as shown
by the German Ambassadors own dis
patches, 20 influence Congress 70 keep
the United States out Of the war.
The actual amount of the tremendous
barrage fire of gold laid down by Ger
many TO hold America back from join
ing the Allies can only be guessed a..
After an investigation which was linn
tied to New York State alone, Perley
Morse, the actuary employed by Mr.
Lewis TO find the source Of Bo.o
Pacha's funds, said yesterday:

in funds and securities that were at
the disposal Of Count Won Bernstorff.' y
The Attorney General confirmed Mr.
Morse's statement. The largest and
most important banking and brokerage
houses Of, the city carried portions OF
this corruption money.

Joint Command
i. S.-British
Naviies Urged
The President Has Taken a
Hand in the Matter of
Higher Cooperation
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-President
| Wilson has taken up the problem of
/ friction between the British and
| American nsvies. He has brushed
aside all the minor understanding
that may have arisen in the relations
Of officers Of the two navies as being
symptoms rather than consequential
facts. He regards them as the nat
ural incidents Of the contact OF men
who, speaking the same language, are
yet widely different. He recognizes
that they all primarily arise, or arose,
out OF the natural impatience OF the
American naval officers at the fact that
their great armada is merely skirting
around the edges of a magnificent
opportunity.
A Civilian Hath Uses
The President, Il is said, sympa-
thizes with the navy officers, and be-
lieves that when they receive full
recognition in the councils of the two
great naval powers the common policy
instead Of being "offens,vely de-
fensiye," as at present, will become
"offensively offensive"
"A civilian has his uses even in war
councils" was the dry comment Of a
naval officer when discussing the
Presidents attitude.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel
eium, all look TO us TO supply that
last loaf OF bread, tnat last cannon,
that last shot. that last effort that
shall win the war. America has be-
come "the powerhouse Of the line"
With power and responsibility should
20 ~ least some measure OF command.
America is paying the price of ad-
miraltv2 Should it not share in the
rights Of admiralty?
A British-American Admiralty
/ can assert, on the best Of authori-
~, that common British-American
naval direction is in sight.
The subject has been considered by
President Wilson, Lord Northcliife and
Lord Reading. They are known 70 IA
vor a resolution that will enable the
United States 10 contribute its fight
ing naval intelligence and training as
well as its inexhaustibe material re-
sources 10 the early triumphant con-
clusion of the war.
Knowing so much more than the
public does Of the magnitude of what
America has done and Is doing for
herself ond the Allies. the two dis
tinguished Britons have sanguine
hopes Of great consequences from an
inclusion Of American intelligence in
the councils that determine the grand
naval strategy of the war.
Great Britain is expected TO take the
first steps toward the desirable end.
The time is apparently near at hand
when the admiralties of the British
empire and the American republic shall
sit down together around table to
solve the central naval problem of the
war.

How Do They Do III

TThe following editorial from tie
Cincinnati Enquirer causes us TO stot
and think of the enormous burdens OF
the world leaders of to-dayl.
1t would be strangely apathetic and
Indifferent mind which did not often, in
these days of mental and spiritual
strain bestow at least passing
tn. ught upon the men whose shoulders
are bearing the almost unendurabla
burdens of this war. If any souls We're
ever the objects of an honorable COM
passion, they are theirs. Consider such
lives as those which Lloyd George,
Poincare, the King of Italy, Venezelos.
KerensFy, Woodrow Wilson, Joffre, Pc
taine, Haig and Cadorra are leading
We do not envy them ourselves, 1t is
too much like having to stagger up an !.

inheritance which was certain to carry
him off in a few short years or even
days. How could a man work still
hardcn," How can he do what he does?
From what mysterious regions does he
draw that inexhaustible strength? Was
there ever a man in all the history Of
the race who was confronted with
more numerous, more complicated and
insistent problems than Kerensky? A
nation in ruins must he rebuilt in a
day! One hundred and eighty millions
of people wandering as sheep without
a she pherd must be gathered into the
fold before the evening shadows fall
A depleted treasury, a mutinous army,
constituency spirit into innumerable
factions, an overthrow monarchy
threatening a resurrection, traitors in
every sphere of activity-how can a
single brain grasp all these compiled
lions and control these wild. explosive
forces
Nor ought we to be Indifferent or I'M
sympathetic toward that spokesman of
ours in the White House. He, too, like
another Atlas, is carving a world up
on his shoulders. Was ever any other
man burdened with such momentous
responsibilities? More than any other
single individual even among the ii
tanic figures of the world war the des-
TIMES OF the race are in his hands. To
him the nations look as children TO a
father and as a tribe to its chief to
voice the ideals and purposes of the
allies; to provide the sinews of war; to
maintain hope; to furnish inspiration
and vision.
We cannot comprehend a life like
that. We cannot sec how a man gets
time for his multitudinous duties We
cannot understand how he is able to
grasp all the aspects of those compli-
Gated questions, by any single one OF
which our own intelligence is confound-
ed We cannot see how he can sleep

With too much toll, with toe much

IL ever our sympathies went out to
any man, 1t is to the President of these
United States To thwart his purposes
in any way. to lay another burden on
his shoulders, to tie his hands or feet,
is cruelty and treason both.
