BIG QUESTIONS WAR RAISES
Tremendous Variety of Problems Must
Be Solved by Those Directing
the World Conflict.

Somewhere in the Australian hinter-
land railway trackage is being pulled
up in order to be laid down again in
the desert Of Sinai or along the Tfgris
or in Albania or near the White sea
or in the sector of Arras, says a
thoughtful writer in New York jour-
nal.
Given a shipload of iron ore, 1t is
for someone to decide whether that
iron is to be shell, or barbed wire, or
steel helmet, or airplane engine, or
anti-submarine net, or boat anchor, or
travelling crane, or farm tractor for
the raising potatoes to feed the crew
of the ship that brings Chinese coolies
from Canton to Marseilles to handle
other masses of iron ore at the Creusot
armament factories.
And when you multiply the task by
the number of departments, war, admit
rally, agriculture and subsistence,
when the problem develops into one
of determining whether a man can be
best used for throwing hand grenades
Of Bullecourt or blowing in Sussex or
unloading wheat at Liverpool or manu-
featuring boots for the Russian armies
in Roumania, it becomes plain how
inadequate is the ordinary pencil stub
and newspaper margin for winning the
war out of hand.

country.
Intrigue Traced to Embassy.
Records of the department of justice
are overlooking with reports from
hundreds of agents concerning Ger
man intrigue, many Of which led to
the German embassy, and some OF
which resulted in the recall at Presi-
dent Wilson's request of Capts. Boy-Ed
and Won Papen, German naval and mil
itary aides. Up to this time Boy-Ed
and Won Papen had appeared as the
master spirits of German propaganda
here. limitations that German plots
and intrigues were directed not by
them, but by Count Won Bernstorff,
with the full approval of Berlin, here
tofore had been met by officials with
silence. For months past, however,
there have been many indications that
the American government had estab-
lished Bernstorff's direct connection
with much of the German secret work
conducted here and that there was am
pie basis for request for his recall
months before the diplomatic break
with Germany.
Left Work to Attaches.
Up to the time of Boy-Ed's and Won
Papen's recall, Won Bernstorff. appar-
emily for diplomatic reasons, had
sought to remain clear personally of
connection with the great volume of
pro-German activities conducted here
by his attaches. From disclosures
concerning Boy-Ed's and Won Papen's
manifold activities here, officials ap-
parently obtained the impression that

Pacifists as catspaws.

Pacfists as CatspaWs.
It was assumed, however, that he
referred to an organization he had set
up, although some officials were in
clined to believe that the method of in
fuencing was the using of pacifists
rather than by any direct subordina-
ton of congressman.
At least one of the most active or
CARNATIONS flooded Washington with
kilograms just prior to the war and
during the days Immediately following
the break in relations. Telegraph
wires were congested with hundreds
of thousands of kilograms and mail
pouches were filed with literature cal
culated to influence congressman to
vote against any measure looking to
war with Germany. How important a
role the German diplomat played be
hind the scenes in that instance is moi
definitely known, but it always has
been assumed that German agents
were largely responsible for the activ-
tiles that so embarrassed the president
and had the effect of supporting the
opposition that developed in congress.
Secretary Lansing adhered to his de-
termination not to discuss this latest
disclosure and refused to tell how the
message to Berlin came into the
hands of the government.
Used Out-of-Way Means.
'No, this was not one that passed
through this governments channels
of communication, was the smiling
reply of an official at the state de-
partment when it was suggested that
Ambassador Bernstorff might have
added to this duplicity the irony of
using the United States as a trans
mitter of the message.
It is known that the message
reached Berlin, but whether the Ger
man foreign Office ever was able to
get reply to America is not known.
1t was indicated that it came into pos
session Of the state department some
time after it was sent, perhaps after
the break in relations and possibly
after the declaration of war.

Won Bernstorff in most instances had
left the conduct of German propagan-
da in the hands of his subordinates,
with only casual supervision of their
activities, if any,
Intimations have been more or less
frequent, however, at trials and other
proceedings instituted against pro-
German agents in this country, that
Won Bernstorff had at least a general
knowledge of the work which they
were conducting. In few cases leads
pointing toward his personal knowl-
edge of specific instances of German
violations of American neutrality were
not publicly developed. The govern
ment's purpose in not following these
leads with public disclosure was to
permit of closer examination into the
ambassadors actual participation in
them.
Recall Raid of Won lgel.
In that connection, officials recall
Count Won Bernstorff's action in con-
nection with the seizure in April, 1916,
of important papers and documents
at the Office Of Wolf Won Igel in New
York. Won IgePs Office, ostensibly ale
advertising agency, was raided by de-
partment of justice agents, who, after
struggle, subdued Won .Igel and
seized the papers in his possession.
Count Won Bernstorff at once protest
ed and demanded their return. Photo
graphic copies were made of the docu-
ments and Won Bernstorf was told
that if he would personally declare
them to be the property of the embas-
sy. the originals would be restored.
The affair remains in that state to
this day. Count Won Bernstorff appar-
emily was unwilling to take official
responsibility for the evidence of Ger
man intrigue which thus fell into the
American governments hands. The
contents have not yet been disclosed
officially, although it was not denied
at the time of the. seizure that the
papers contained revelations OF prime
importance.
The suggestion was made that, by
organization" the ambassador might
have meant anyone of the different So
called peace societies that were active
at that time. That may have been
Bernstorff's letter to Berlin asking for
money to influence congress.
Applause from the floor and the gal
leries greeted Representative Helms
demand for a congressional investiga-
ton to determine if any members of
either house had received German
money.
In voicing the general res eminent
in congress, Vice-President Marshall
gave out statement declaring the
disclosure was proof of the German
governments effort to divide America
into factions by corrupt means, if nee

No murder trial is complete, it seems
without the introduction of one long
hypothetical interrogation OF the prison
er. The attorneys for one side or the
other apparently do not feel that they
have earned their money unless they de,
press the court, the witness, the Jurors
and the spectators by the presentation OF
long -winded question, filled with tech
nical terms and phrased in the intricate
language of the courts; indeed, they
seem to feel that their reputation for
keenness is being seriously jeopardized
unless they foist a frankfurt sausage SEN
tence put in the form of a question. So
it is in the case of this Mrs DeSaules.

band. The apex of the trial may be con
sidered as reached, for this long, hypo-
thetical question has been fired at the
prisoner. From now Oh there will be a
rapid decline in the trial, for the attor-
neys have done their worst.
