NEWSPAPER SAYS
BERNSTORFF DID
NOT KNOW BOLO
German Newspaper Says
Passage in Secretary Lam
sings Telegram is False.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20-Count Won
Bernstorff, former German ambassa-
dor to the United States did not know
Bolo Pasha, the Frenchman held as
spy in France, according to the Tage-
blatt
Discussing the Bolo affair, the
newspaper says: in connection with
the Bolo Pasha episode and the dis
closures of Secretary Lansing concern
ing the part alleged to have been play
ed by Ambassador Won Bernstorff and
Foreign Secretary Won Jagow, we are
informed by competent source that
the personality OF Bolo Pash was not
known to Won Bernstorff in Washing
ton, inasmuch as the ambassador did
not have recourse to sources in the
United States which might have been
at the disposal of official quarters
here. 1t is also established that the
name of Bolo Pasha was never made
known to Won Bernstorff and his bank
er Intermediates did not mention him.
Consequently the passage in the alleg-
ed telegram published by Secretary
Lansing in which Won Jagow asked
Won Bernstorff what is new about
Bolo?" is false.
Says Telegram Forged.
This warrants the obvious deduc-
ton regarding the trustworthiness of
other details in this telegram"
The Taghsche Rundschau says that
the mention OF Bolo's name in the Won
Jagow dispatch is another forgery Of
SECRETARY Lansings for transparent
purposes" 1t adds that Bolo's name
was not mentioned for the simple rea-
son that Won Bernstorff did not know
that Bolo was the man who was nego-
tiating for the Paris Journal
Among the kilograms given out by
Secretary Of State Lansing onSOct 5,
was the following:
Number 206, May 81 The person
announced in telegram 692 of March
20 has not yet reported himself at the
legation at Rerne. Is there any more
news on your side of Bolo ?-Jagow"
In the inquiry into the Bolo affair,
in New York early this month it was
learned that Bolo had an accompliee
in Switzerland, through whom he had
learned the terms on which Germany
would conclpde peace with France
Bolo Pasha is said to have received
more than S1700,000 from Won Bern
storff to aid in carrying out his plot
