ECRETARY LANSING'S recent Swed

ECRETARY LANSlNG'S recent Swed-

Ct a government investigation of infor-
nation reaching Germany through uncen-
sored cable dispatches and letters. 1t is
revealed that the sailing date and number
Of transports carrying the first contingent
of American troops to France were sent
as business messages by the head of a
German firm in New York City to a cor
respondent in Barcelona, from which place
tile news was flashed to Berlin by Spanish
wireless; that our army is infested with
enemy agents; that German firms retain
organizations in this country ostensibly to
prepare trade statistics but actually to
gather vital military information; that
Spain is the clearing house for much of
this material when sent out; and that even
the Red Cross and Mexico are also means
used by German agents to carry on COM
munication with Berlin.

reply breathes a sincerity which the German
Ilainly lacks. The Austrian Emperor is
unquestionably willing to go long way on
the road to peace. If Austria had
her way she would probably be good deal
more definite than she has yet BEEN"
THE Providence News" sees mendacity
IN the Kaiser's reply, but only inconsist-
ency in that of the Austrian monarch. Edi-
tor Watterson, too, finds a distinction be-
tween the two replies not wholly discredit-
able, by comparison, to that of Karl. He
writes in "The Louisville Courier-J our
nal":
chancellor Michaelis has acquitted
himself famously, constructing a masterpiece
Of sophomore rhetoric which ought to live
for all time among the 'curiosities of litera-
ture.' As for the wall of Charles of Austria,
that is really pitiful"
The point oftenest emphasized in CRITICS

glib indulgence in fine moral sentiment

contained in the replies of the two Kaisers.
II is astonishing that the impudence re-
realed should exist anywhere, but after
three years of sad experience the world has
lost its ability to be greatly amazed" It's
conclusion is thus put FORTH More than
ever is it manifest that peace will not come
from negotiations to which the Kaisers are
parties. Between wolves and those they
would consume there is no community Of

"The Washington Post" is equally Sc
we're, and THE New York Herald votes for
the waste-paper basket, finding the replies
"of no value to anybody but the junkman.'
"The Chicago Tribune" finds nothing in
the replies (which advances reasonable

Results of the Disclosures

.ONE of the first results of the reve-
~ lations is the passage by Congress
Of the trading with the enemy bill, with
a censorship provision attached. ORG
inally aimed at foreign-language papers
only, the bill now provides that, with the
Postmaster General as virtual censor over
seditious publications, no one may law
fully distribute matter which has been de-
clared unavailable under the provisions of
the espionage bill, and gives the President
rover Immediately to institute censorship
over cable messages and mails leaving this
country.
Another effect Of the disclosures is an
uproar in the House when Congressman
Hefin, of Alabama, asserts that he sus-
poets thirteen or fourteen members of
having been influenced by German propa-
eanda. Assailed by his fellows for specific
facts and names, he admits that he has
only suspicious. Investigation into his
charges, twice proposed, hangs fire. At
the same time pacifsts and other anti-war
organizations in the country disclaim ever
receiving money from Teutonic sources
to further German ends; and the charges
against the men named by the Committee
on Public Information create a sensation
in New York City, where Cohalan, Viereck
and Dewey issue fiat denials.

Sweden and Bernstorf Again

THEN follows information that Secre-
L tary Lansing has turned over to
Argentina many new evidences of German
Swedish intrigue in that country in the
form of several hundred messages ex-
changed in secret code between Berlin and
Buenos Ayres. At the same time the
Secretary of State further shows that ex-
Ambassador Won Bernstorf, when he
asked for $4,000 to influence Congress,
had knowledge of the famous thinner
mann telegram to Mexico and of the in
tention of the German government to re-
sumo unrestricted submarine warfare.

The Won lgel Papers

THE following day the Committee on
Public Information makes public
documents seized in a raid on the Office of
Wolf Won Igel, German agent, in New
York City in April, 1916, linking the
names of Daniel f. Cohalan, Justice Of the
Supreme Court of New York; John Dewey,
editor of the New York Gaelic Ameri-
can; George Sylvester Viereck, of
"Viereck's Weekly; Marcus Braun, an
East Side politician; and Miss Ray Bev-
eridge, California artist, with the plots
Of ex-Ambassador Won Bernstorff and
ether German diplomats. Holland is also
involved by a message signed by Prince
Hatzfeldt, an official Of the German En-
bassy, which urged negotiations with the
Holland Commission" concerning the
sale Of cartridges and powder-a document
which brings the statement from high
government officials that Holland "was
merely a way station for shipments OF
contraband into Germany"

many's record-her record in war and poll
tics made during the past course of the
war, and her record Of diplomatic treach-
cry that is now being unfolded by the
State Department. "The Chicago Record
Herald" says: ats plain falsity and hypoc-
risy are a renewed assurance of the hope
less mendacity and duplcty of the Hohen-
zollerns." The same paper finds the Ger
man reply filled with generalities that
mean nothing, and adds: There is not a
single statement in it that binds Germany
-supposing that the autocracy's words
could bind her-to anything whatever
"The New Haven Journal-Courier'
speaks of the Kaiser's "voice raised in
mock reverence" and asserts that he bears
"a counterfeit olive branch of peace" 1.-The
New York Globe" says that the world die
not expect any sincere or honest word to
come out of Berlin and Vienna.
So it is not surprised at the extraordinary
tumble of hypocrisy and false pretence

ton of affairs; he is given to understand,
on the contrary, that no words from him,
however fair, count for anything what
ever, that the world will have no more
scraps of paper" from his government.
He is told to bring forth works meet for
repentance; and it is held up to him that
his reply shows no approach toward
change Of heart, no remorse, no penitence,
even.
The only favorable point, made by few
editors, is that the Austrian reply shows
better spirit than the German, shows more
real progress toward reaching the stand
point that alone can render peace possible.
Thus "The Nebraska State Journal
speaks of the obviously sincere acquieS-
cence Of the Austrian Emperor in the
peace proposals of the Pope" whereas the
German reply is filled with the accus-
toned brag and buncombe, constituting a
political play upon the German public,
rather than an honest attempt to make an
honest peace" 1t concludes: THE Kaiser
does not see his way to dismount from his
high horse; this makes peace, despite Aus
trias real longing and Germany's lip long
ings, seem still afar Off"
"The Des Moines Register" also notes
that "the Austrian reply represents a
marked change from past attitude While
Germany has only made what might be
called a preliminary reply, it remarks,
Austria goes further and paves the way
for a supplementary inquiry by the Pope
as to whether other nations indorse Aus
tria's programme" The paper concludes
that eff Germany and Austria had been
willing to go half as far along the line of
mediation or arbitration in 1914 as Austria
is willing to go to-day, there would have
been no war"
"The Omaha Bee" contrasts the Knock
humility of Wilhelm with the unfeignedly
rious submission of Karl; and 1.-The Chi
cago Record Herald says: THE Austrian
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

could by the fervor of their eulogy of the
Popes proposals to mask the vagueness Of
their own peace terms"
"The New York World" writes
Nothing has changed and each day adds
new proof of the confirmed criminal character
of TIE present German government III all It's
foreign relations"
The New York Tribune thinks that "it
should be tolerably clear to the Kaiser that
lis protestations to the Pope will ring false
end hollow in every non-Germanized mind
and finds truly Satanic effrontery' IN
the Kaser's expressed belief that "the sick
body of human society can be healed only
by fortifying its moral strength OF right
"The Hartford Courant" rejects Ger
many's reply, while 1.-THE St. Louis Post
Dispatch" distrusts the conversion Of two
persons in Europe to the limitation of
ornaments"
"The New York Evening Mail" says that
the German note treats the very basis OF
the worlds resentment against Germany as
if it did not exist" and 1.-THE Tribune" OF
Bismarck, N. D., writes: Mere words
cannot straghten out the tangle in which
German rapacity and greed have enmesheo
the Central Powers"
Not few of the newspapers note that
the two replies offer nothing tangible in the
way of specific promises. 1.-THE New York
Evening Post" says that ION the few spe
cific things in the Pope's appeal they are
silent" and The New York Tribune also
puts some pointed questions in the follow
ing passage:
what about Belgium and Poland and Ser
bia? What about Italia Irredenta and Alsace
Lorraine? There can be no joy on earth owe

the hope Of thereby holding on to ill-gotter

many would cooperate with the world in
a peace pact, and advises the President
to seek a respite before American troops
enter battle.
On the other hand, the Central Govern
lug Board of the National Liberal party Of
Germany. adopts a resolution scoring the
Reichstag peace resolution of July 10, at
tacks the policy of Cancellation toward the
foe and declares for war indemnities for
Germany. Further evidence reveals a
heightened crisis in Germany in the fight
between Liberals and Pan-Germans over
further conduct of the war.

not Scripture but the quoter that counts"
THE New York Herald" points to tho
same lack of specific promises. while Tho
New York Evening Mail" notes the absence
Of still another point from the German
reply, thus: There is not scintilla OF
evidence in the German note Of any purs
pose for the characterization of Germany"
The conclusion generally drawn by the
American press from the two replies is, -
expressed by THE Hartford Courant,"
that "the war must continue until real
peace is made possible" THE Chicago
Tribune" and 1.-The New York Times" are
Of the same mind, the latter regarding the
German reply as merely an effort TO save
Eohenzoernism."
1t was noted above that Herr Hearst Is
lonesome exception in his view of the two
replies. 1t is a striking and most char
acterStic fact that his American" along
with the other papers dominated by him, is
the only organ printed in English which

replies. His rhapsodical article begins with
this astounding statement: Without fir.
ing shot in battle the United States has
won the greatest and most momentous v!c-
tory ever won in the history Of mankind"
But Hearst is, after all, not alone in this
big world. The "Koelnische ZeitungT
wrote thus of the German reply: "Never In
European history has so strong power 80
spoken" The "Zeitung am Mttag" saidt
The German reply heaps Goals of fire %
the heads of our enemies and the "Boer.
sen Zeitung" wrote: "All now depends Cd
the good will of the belligerent govern
ments; if this will is present the GermaA
reply will offer an acceptable basis for a.

South american Affairs

THE Argentine Swedish German cpl
J. sode approaches a climax. Argen-
tina sends an ultimatum to Germany, which
promptly repudlates Luxburgs acts just
as the offended nation appears on the
point of breaking off relations. Neverthe-
less the Argentine navy is modified, while
serious strikes and internal disturbances
are laid to German influence. Then, fol-
lowing similar action by the Senate last
week, the Chamber of Deputies votes to
sever relations with Germany, an act
which is regarded at Washington as pre-
liminary to declaration OF war. Peru
also enters the limelight, giving Germany
eight days to make satisfactory amends
for the sinking of a ship. Meantime the
situation in Sweden remains in suspense.
There the Cabinet threatens to fall be-
fore gains in elections by the radicals,
popular feeling as a result OF the Argen-
tine exposure, and Germany's failure as
yet to give a satisfactory answer to
Sweden's demand for full explanation
of the Luxburg affair.
The VAR
