though at the same time he denied
prior knowledge and those in close
touch with the embassy were given
to understand that he did not ap-
prove the course and worked to Sc
cure notifications.
1t has not been assumed that the
ambassador actually attempted to
bribe or personally influence any
member of Congress and doubt that
such was his purpose is supported to
some extent, by the comparatively
small amount of money asked. Fifty
thousand dollars, it was pointed out,
would go but a short way towards
buying the influence of any congress-
man. Judiciously expended, how
ever, it might do much in compen-
sating paid agents, such as are now
known to have belonged to the Ella
borate machine Bernstorff had so
carefully built up for the production
of propaganda and for purposes of
espionage.
Have Many Names
Information in the possession of
the government but not yet revealed,
is said to show conclusively a moro
direct connection of the German ma
chine in America with the Irish ques-
tion than that indicated in Count Won
Bernstorff's message. The records
at the Department of Justice are said
TO contain the names of men impli-
Gated in that phase of Germanic in
trigue well known in America
o'day's announcement by the
State Department is the first official
utterance of the government with
reference to the German ambassa-
doris active personal participation in
the maze of plots and intrigues con-
Quoted for Germany's benefit in this
country since the beginning of the
European war.
The evidence of Count Won Bern
storff's personal activities in connec-
ton with German propaganda here
bears the date of President Wilson's
address to Congress, January %, re-
citing his appeal to the warning ma
tions to enter into peace negotiations.
At the same time the President was
addressing Congress, apparently,
Count Won Bernstorff was appealing
to his government for funds which to
influence Congressional action.
Not First Time
1t was not the first time, apparent
ly, that Count Won Bernstorff had
sought to influence congressional
action, this being eloquently pro-
