PROBE NEED DOUBTED
ACCESSIBILITY of Investigation OF
Bernstorff Plot Questioned.
Congressmen Hold That Ambassador
Request to Berlin for Funds Should
Not Involve Members.

Washington. Sept. 25.-It is appar-
emily doubtful If any investigation will
be made by a House committee OF
Count Won Bernstorff's plot to infiu-
ence members of congress.
The general opinion among members
seemed to be that the former ambas-
sador's request to Berlin for funds
should not be interpreted as indicat-
Ing that any member OF Congress &C.
copied money or was otherwise
wrongfully influenced by propagan-
dists.
A similar view was said to have
been expressed by Secretary Lansing
to Chairman Flood of the House For
eign Affairs committee during a con.
ference at the State department.
Mr.. Flood learned from Mr.. Lansing
that the administration believed moth.
ing was to be gained from such an in.
v~estigation.
In some quarters it was pointed out
that the object of making public the
Won Bernstorff message was to expose
German intrigue and that any inquiry
by o House committee would confuse
h real issue and In large
lessen the intended effect In the pub.
lie mind.

TRAINING OFFICERS
CANDIDATES FOR THIRD SERIES
WILL BE TAKEN FROM EN-
LISTED MEN OF REGU-
LAR AND DRAFT
ARMIES.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. ga
third series of officers training
camps will be opened by the war de-
partment early In January. Candi-
dates for commissions, Adjt. Gen.
Mccain announced, will be selected
from enlisted men of the regular
army or those called to the colors
under the selective draft law. no APP
plications from civilians being consid-
cred. 1t is probable that the major
ity of the camps will be situated in
the south I'm order to escape the rig
ors of a northern winter.
The camps will afford men of the
national army an opportunity to win
commissions and IL is probable that
the drafted men will be heavily rep
resented. Secretary Baker recently
announced that every chance would
be offered national army men to rise
from the ranks.
Establishment of the third series
OF camps is part of a general policy
OF the war department to continue
the making of officers by special
training in order to keep the pace
with the enlisted strength of the
service.
