spirits of German propaganda here
Intimations that German plots and
intrigues were directed not by them
but by Count Won Bernstorff, with the
full approval of Berlin, with the
had been met by officials with silence
For months past, however, there have
been many indications that the Amer.
lean government had established
Bernstorff's direct connection with
much of the German secret work con-
Quoted here, and that there was am.
pie basis for request for his recall
months before the diplomatic break
with Germany.
Bernstorff Directed Boy-Ed.
Up 20 the time of Boy-Ed's and
Won Papen's recall. Won Bernstorff
apparently, 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-Eds and Won Papen's
manifold activities. officials apparent
ly obtained the impression that Ven
Bernstorff in most instances had lett
the conduct of German propaganda in
the hands OF his subordinates, with
only casual supervision of their ac-
tivities, if any.
Intimationts 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 general
knowledge of the work they were con-
Quoting. In most instances this, knowl"
edge would appear to be only OF a
general nature. In few cases leads
pointing toward American neutrality
were not publicly developed.
The governments purpose in not
following these leads with public dis
closure was 10 permit OF closer ex-
animation into the ambassadors ac-
tual participation in them.
The text of the message was given
out without comment. in the same
manner as was the message OF Count
Luxburg, German minister to Argen-
tina, which has disrupted relations
between Argentina and Germany, and
the letter OF German Minister Won
Eckhardt, in 'exico City, recently
made public.
Casts Suspicious at Congress.
On the floor Of the house, Repre-
sentative Hehin of Alabama, asserted
that he could name thirteen or four.
teen members o. the two branches OF
congress who had acted suspiciously,
and expressed the opinion that they
should be Investigated, Generally,
however, the disposition was to re-
gard as absurd any suggestion that
any part of the $4,000 sought by Won
Bernstorff was intended for members
OF congress,
Nothing to Foreshadow Trouble.
This message was sent nine days
before the German government pro-
claimed its undestricted submarine
warfaer. When he wrote 1t, Count
Won Bernstorff wa assuring the Amer
lean government and press that under
no circumstances would Germany vio-
late her pledges OF the Sussex case
or do anything that might draw the
United States into the list OF her
enemies. With the Lusitania and
other cases in allegiance, the Ameri-

can government, had made no move
since the Sussex pledge, and there
was nothing on the surface to fore
shadow impending trouble.
Two weeks later, when Won Bern
storff was handed his passports, he
professed ignorance Of prior knowl-
edge OF his governments intentions
to throw its promises to the winds.
Bernstorff Directed Personally.
Evidence has been accumuiating to
prove that the ambassador was not
only cognizant of, but actually di-
rected the activities of Boyd and
Won Papen, the military and naval at
taches, who were sent home long be-
fore the United States broke relations
with Germany, because OF their con-
nection with bomb plots, passport
frauds, spying and other phases Of
the almost unlimited operations in
this country of the German secret
service.
Echoes of Suspicion,
How complete is the evidence OF
German diplomatic duplicity remain
ing in possession of the United States
government is only conjectural, but
that it is far more than has been gen.
orally supposed is now certain. 1t
was intimated by government officials
today that the series of revelations Is
not nearly complete. From the out
side there are reaching the State de-
partment schoes of the apprehension
sounded by friends OF men towards
whom suspicion long has pointed.
Official reputation was given sug-
gestion that a diplomat now in Wash
ington is about to be placed under the
spotlight.
The coordinated intelligence forces
of the government are known to be
continuing their Investigations, how
ever, and it is pointed out that the
government has not lost sight Of the
necessity of watching for German in
trigue and espionage.

Prominent Men Implicated.

Information in the possession OF
the government, but not yet revealed,
is said to show conclusively a more
direct connection of the German ma
chine in America with the Irish ques-
ton than that indicated in Count Won
Bernstorff's message. The records at
the Department of Justice are said
to contain the names OF men implica-
ted in that phase OF Germanic in
trigues well known in America.
Today's announcement by the State
department is the first official utter
ance OF the government in reference
to the German ambassadors actual
participation in the maze OF plots and
intrigues conducted for Germany's
benefit in this country since the be-
ginning OF the European war.
The evidence of Count Won Berns-
torff's personal activities in connec-
tion with the German propaganda
here bears the date of President Viii
sons address to congress January 22,
reciting his appeal to the warning ma
tions to enter into peace negotiations.
AT the same time the president was
addressing congress, apparently
Count Won Bernstorh was appealing
to his government for funds with
which to influence congressional ae-
ton.
Il was not the first time, appar-
entity, that Count Won Bernstorff had
sought TO influence congressional ae.
tion, this being eloquently proclaimed
by his reference to former oc-
casions."

which the money used for this pur-
pose was expended, the previous in
