WaShineton, Dct Secretary Lansing drew upon his collection of secret German diplomatic corrcspond- enre again today to shed further light upon what the German foreign office and the general staff were doing in this couatiy while nominally at peace with the United States He gave ;O the public, without comment. as us- nal, three brief cab,egramS diSclOS- ing that for more than a year before submarine piracy forced the Unitet States into the war, the Berlin gov crnmCnt was inStructing Ambassador von Bernstorff to arrange for the de- struction of the Canadian railroad and to use lriSh-Americans in carry ing on sabotage in their own country. They show too, that even at tha. early date Count von Bernstorff was seeking authority to use funds for campaign to influence congress.
 The Damning Telegrams.
 The statement follows:
 The secretary of state publishes thofollowng two telegrans from the German foreign office to Count von Gersntolfi in January, 1916:
 January 3. Secret General staff desires energetic action in regard to proposed destruction of Canadian Pa cfic railway at several points with a view to complete and protracted inter- ruption of traffic Captain Boehm who IS known on our side and is short ly returning, has been given instruc- tlons Inform the military attache and provide the necessary funds.

 Irish American Named.
 January 26. For military attache. You can obtain particulars as to per- sons suitable for carrying on sabo- tagc in the United States and Canada from the following persons: 1-Joseph MacGarritty, Philadelphia, Pa.; 2- John P. Heating, Michigan avenue, Chicago; 3-Jcremiah OIeary, num- Der 16, Park Row, New York.
 One and two are absolutely re- liable and discreet. Number 3 is re- liable, but not always discreet. These persons were indicated by Sir Robert Easement, In the United States sab otage can be carried out on every kind oi' factory for supplying munitions of war. Railway embankments and bridges must not be touched. Em- bassy must in no circumstances be compromised. Similar precautions must be taken in regard to Irish pro- German propaganda.

 "The following telegram from Count Bernstorff to the foreign office in Ber- lin was sent in September, 1916:
 September 15. With refrence to report A. N. Two hundred and sixty six of May tenth, nineteen sixteen. The embargo conference in regard to whose earlier fruitful cooperation Dr. Hale can give information is just about to enter upon vigorous cam- pagn to secure a majority in both houses of congress favorable to Ger many and requests further support.

 At the office of Senator Husting, it was said a John P. Heating was at one time identified with the so- called American embargo conference, which put up the money for a flood of telegrams sent to congressman early in 1916, advocating amunitions embargo. Senator Husting exposed the activities of the organization in his speech in the senate showing let ters sent to persons throughout the country, offering to pay for tele- grams.
 I No one here today however, could definitely indentify the Heating men, toned in the Zimmerman telegram.
 Publication of the German foreign ! offices message referring to Jere- miah O'Leary caused many smiles of grim satisfaction at the white house. It was recalled that during the last presidential campaign O'Learv, as president of the American Truth so- ciety telegraphed the president that he and many Americans would not
