Washington, y. c., June 25.--.How
the war came to America the first IN
q series Of publications 20 be issued
by The committee on public iulorua-
tion designed to mold opinion regard
ing the conflict with Germany was
made public today.
Primarily ir is an indictment Of Ger
many and its persistent disregard Of
American rights which forced this
country into the war after patient and
unriring effort on the part Of the Uni
ted States TO avert such course with
honor
The pamphlet was prepared under
direction of Secretaries Lansing.
Baker. and Daniels and George CreeL.
but in many paragraphs 1t shows the
touch of President Wilson's pen
Bernstorfi's Plea Fails.
Some secret history IS told. Ir is
made known for the first time that
prior to his departure fer Berlin Count
Won Bernstorn, the German ambaasa-
dor. begged that no lrrevocabIe de-
cision should be taken until he had the
chance to make one final plea fer
peace to his sovereign
Because Of this plea no step that
could be interpreted as an act Of 1-aT
was taken by the United States until
Bernstorff had arrived in Berlin and
had an opportunity TO see che kaiser.
Not until March IL, more than FIVE
weeks after the severance Of relations
with Germany We're armed guards
placed on American merchant ships.
And three weeks more elapsed before
the declaration OF state Of war.
We do not know the nature Of
Count Bernstorffs report to the
kaiser" said the official historian We
know only that even II he kept his
pledge and urged an nth hour revoca-
ton Of the submarine order he was
unable TO sway the policy Of the 1a1-
periaI government
Reply TO Iany Appeals.
The statement comes as an official
answer to the demands and challenges
OF pacifists and other critics WHO have
demanded q definite pTonouncemeut
from President Wilson 10 define the
reasons for the United States entering
the war.
1T makes reference 70 the following
statement made by the president long
before Americas entry into the war.
There viii come that day when the
world will say this America, that we
thought was full OF q multitude OF cor

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept Manifestations that but little damage had been done by frost brought about material setback today in the price of corn. The market closed heavy, 1 to 19s net lower at $1.17H to $1.18 December, and $1.15 ss to sl.151e May. Oats declined F to l 1s @1A and provisions to 10 to 40 cents.
 Although there were a few sections where temperatures proved low enough to hurt the corn crop the general run of advices led the trade to assume that nothing approaching a calamity had been inflicted. The result was that some uncertainty winch prevailed at the outset gave way soon to pronounced bearish sentiment.
 Oats broke when corn took definite swing to the bear side. Export demand widened out, however, and acted as d check on the decline. Receipts here were comparatively small but arrivals at other primary markets continued to exceed last years totals.
 in the wheat trade the principal new development was the fact that Canada had formally set maximum price of $2.20, the same as in this country Offerings here remained meagre and were apportioned as seemed to the bes; general advantage according To the viewpoint of the representatives of the food administrator.
 trovisions eased down owing to low CT prices on corn.
 Relative firmness in the hog market was ignored. Close:
 Corn: s117B; May, s115%. Oats: Dec, $57hc; May, 60Bc. i Pork: Oct, $42.90.
 Lard: Oct, s23.65 Jan., s2257. Ribs; Oct, $23.65; Jan, $21.65.

WEALTHY GOT ONLY
 20 PER CENT ASKED
 0F LIBERTY BONDS

A writer in the New York Times Analist recalls that while the Liberty Loan was being floated there was some comment to the effect that it would prove rich mans loan in that the wealthy could withdraw their funds invested at about per cent and relnvest in income tax exempt Liberty bonds at 31a per cent and thus effect considerable saving by the transfer in the event that Congress increases the income tax" That possibility might have existed had the loan been under subscribed instead of oversubscribed The oversubscription has enabled the treasury department to allot relative ly small percentages to the large sub scribers" As the allotment schedule works out, it appears that the only subscribers who could possibly save on income are the three of 25 million dollars each, whose allotment of Lib erty bonds is approximately s5,100.000 each giving yearly income of Sl7S,500 at 312 per cent"
 If each of these three subscribers, says the writer, had his funds invested originally at 4.549 per cent and so giv- ing an income of s232,000 a year, the proposed income tax would be s53,420, or approximately 22.95 per cent, leav ing sl7S5S0 as his net income, or the same as the income from the transfer to Liberty bonds. However, if each of the three subscribers had his funds in vested at per cent to give an income tax would be $43,620, or approximately 21.3S per cent, and would leave him $160,4O0 net income, or slS,1S less than would be made by investing in Liberty
