Asks To Be Rid of

Him by Austrians

Permission to change his German
name. which he declares was i'm
posed upon his ancestors a century
ago by the Austrian government. is
sought in a petition filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court by Alfred
Hirsch Finkelstein.
AT the present time, when no
civilized man desires TO be
thought of Germanic extraction"
the petition states, unless he Is
so in fact, your petitioner is often
put TO the trouble OF explaining
that he is not German. The sus-
picion that he might be SO has
ever stood in the way OF his ad.
vancement when all other circum-
stances warranted said advance
ment."
Before the Objectionable name
was saddled on to his family,
Finkelstein declares. they belong
ed to the Bsruch family. He asks
the court to change his name to

Secretary Lansing's categorical
statement that Bsrnstorff had the
Zimmerman telegram before him at
or before the time it was sent to
Mexico, suggests for the first time the
possibility that Bsrnstorff himself
advised the Zimmerman scheme OF
lining UP Mexico and Japan against
the United States, and that he for
warded the message to Won Eckhart.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-09-27
LANSING GIVESuIE
TO BERNSTORFF ON
MEXICAN WAR PLOT

Bernstorff denied any knowledge OF
the existence of the Zimmerman
communication before its publication
BY the United States shortly after the
severance in diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. Mr.. Ian.
sings declaration gives him the
direct lie on this point. More
over, the Secretary's nat announce
ment is backed by other cir
cumstances connected with the Zim'
mermann plot that makes OF the
whole story seeming proof that Bern
storff actually did have a finger in
the Zimmerman scheme.
At the time that Captain Boyd
and Captain Won Papen, the former
naval and military attaches, respec'
lively, at the Germany embassy here,
were sent home by the United states
Government for abusing the neutral
fly OF the United States. it was shown
that both officers were actively iden-
tified with the plot to restore the
late Huerta to control In Mexico.
Both officers also were accredited to
the German legation in Mexico City,
and this fact gave them the excuse
for frequent excursions into Mexico
during the time when President VIII
son was seeking to aid that country
toward restoration OF peace.
German Vessel Aided Huerta.
It also is recalled in the same con-
nsction that it was a Hamburg-Amer-
lean line vessel, the Ypirsnga, which,
three months before the outbreak OF
the European, war for which Germany
was preparing in every way possible,
tried TO land at Vera Cruz the mil
= lions of rounds of ammunition that
Huerta meant to use against the
American expedition sent to take that
port.
In other words, as Secretary Ian
sing day by day Unfolds the pages of
this book Of intrigue, 1t becomes more
and more evident that Germany not
only foresaw the war in Europe, but
that before and after it started she
anticipated that the United States
would sooner or later be drawn into
Il as her enemy unless. by intrigues
on this continent she could tie COM
pIetely the hands OF President Will
son. II this theory is true, as Off
cials here implicitly believe, Count
Won Bernstorff during all the time
he was, pretending to do his utmost
20 bring about a satisfactory settle
ment of the Lusitania controversy,
was secretly plotting against this
country to cripple it against the day
when Germany could cast all preten'
lions to the winds and appear before
the people Of America in her true
light.
All doubt as to whether Count Won

bassador. knew at the time he sent
his "slush fund" message to Berlin

and resume ruthless submarine war.
fare has been removed by Secretary
OF State Lansing, who has turned an
other page in his exposure OF German
intrigue.
Under pressure OF questions put to

the convention of the Peoples Council
we're voted by the city council, sitting
as a committee of the whole. The
vote was to adopt the resolution Of
praise and stood AZ to 6. Debates at
the meeting was bitter and the mayor
was scathingly condemned by some all
dermanic members. Following the
city council session, there was meet
ing the federal grand jury. Federal
Judge Evans instructions to the jury
we're insubstance to "indict traitors" "
lie said:
"The work of federal grand juries
! Of utmost importance, especially SO
lit this time. In this locality and VI
Iainity there is especially work for you.
[ We have read much and heard much
of the disturbances in this locality.
"The people look to you to return in
dictments against persons who are trai
torous to the government or who are
untrue or false to their country. The
government must act through its
grand jury,
"Of course there must be competent
evidence before an Indictment can be
returned. We expect you to act fear
lessly and courageously."
Vitriolic expressions and near
physical clash marked the meeting Of
the city councils meeting.
"a bunch of dogs-a bunch OF
skunks," was the way Alderman James
B. Bowler characterized Mayor Thomp-
son and his adherents. With clenched
fist he charged upon Alderman Mich
aelson, spokesman for the city admin
istration, and it was only prompt in
reference by others that prevented d
fight.
Antiwar statements of the mayor
are considered to have been stingingly
rebuked by the overwhelming vote Of
the council, and his conciliatory favor
of pacifsts. Throughout the session,
however, the mayor assumed a mild
tone to his opponents. A strong force
Of police was on hand to save the
mayor from possible violence, it being
thought that in the tense moments of
the meeting a police guard might be
needed.
Following the meeting the mayor
refused to be interviewed. He said he
would soon issue signed statement
regarding his stand against the orders
Of Gov. Lowden, which orders were
peremptory commands to prevent the
Peoples Cuncil from holding conven-
tions in the city.
