LANSING EXPOSES
GERMAN INTRIGUE
MORE OF sERNSToRFF'S CABLE
EXCHANGES WITH Won JAGOW
MADE PUBLIC.
Throws Further Light Upon the Ma
chinations of the German Diplomatic
Service in Attempt to Overthrow
French Government.

Washington.-More of Count Won
Bernstorf's confidential cable ex-
changes with the Berlin foreign office
were made public by the state depart
ment on October 3, furnishing docu-
mentary proof of the extraordinary
activities of Bolo Pasha, now pris-
Oner in France, and throwing further
light upon the Vaccinations OF the
German diplomatic service.
The messages, signed by Won Bern
storff and by Won Jagow, then foreign
minister. show that S1,70OOO0 which
the ambassador obtained authority to
place to the credit of Hugo Schmidt,
then a representative of the Deutsehe
bank at New York, was sought as a
loan to a leading political personal
ity'' in France and was counted upon
to bring peace. They were exchanged
in February, 1916. when the French
Socialists were threatening to over
throw the government and there was
talk of France being tired of war and
dissatisfied with the part played by
her allies.
The willy Bernstorff cautioned
against expressions in the German
press concerning internal French
changes, suggesting that German ap-
proval might upset all his plans. He
also was careful not to put down the
name of the political personality, say
ing a verbal report would be made as
soon as a trustworthy messenger
could be sent
Hugo Schmidt testified in New York
before State Attorney General Lewis,
telling how the money was placed to
his credit, with instructions from Won
Bernstorff that it was to be disposed
of as Adolph Pavenstedt might direct.
Pavenstedt already had told the at
tOrney general that Won Bernstorf OBJ
tanned the fund to finance a scheme
of Bolo Pasha for peace between Ger
many and France.

Agreed Upon by Germany and

There is growing displeasure in

days events in the reichstag. The
General Anzeiger Of Dusseldorf pre-
diets that DR. Helfferich will resign
the vice chancellorship in few weeks,
If not sooner.
Chancellor Michaelis, in an address
TO the reichstag main committee on
Ortober s, as reported in Berlin dis
patches, replied to the charge that Of
ficiaIs had undertaken propaganda for
rhe new fatherland party, which is
carrying on movement in favor of
German peace"
The chancellor laid down the prin-
cipie, which applies to Prussian Of
fcials as well as those connected with
the imperial government, that all are

the empire is not endangered thereby.
As regards the army, the chancellor
said, all political propaganda will be

HAS NO HOPE OF
CRUSHING ALLIES
PROGRESSIVE MEMBER OF GER
MAN REicHsTAG SEES HAND
WHITING ON THE WALL.
Admits That America Cannot Be
Forced to Make Peace and Express
es Doubt as to Outcome of Sub
marine Campaign.

msterdam-GeOrge Goethein, pro-
gressive member of the reichstag, IS
quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having
said at meeting of the central com
mittee of this party that although the
military situation was satisfactory
there was no hope of crushing Ger
many's enemies on land. As for the
submarine campaign, seven million
tons of shipping had been sunk, he
asserted, but no disposition toward
peace on the part Of England was dis
cernible. A rationing system for food
stuffs had not been even introduced
and no one was able to say when the
U-boat would make England more in
clined for peace.
america cannot be forced to make
peace" Herr Goethein continued. we
cannot force America to pay war IN
demnity. There remains only Eng
land. But should we, in order to OBJ
tain an indemnity of 10000, 100000
marks, sacrifice $4,000 100000 and an
other half million menu"
Germany's allies, Herr Goethein con-
tinued, were not inclined to continue
the war for pan-German plans Of con-
quest, but were striving for peace by
understanding and Cancellation, while
the pan-German clamOr for annexa-
tions was finding a bad reception
among them. He asserted that the
long working hours and insufficient
feeding at home increased the desire
for peace among the workers and that
strikes might be expected if the war
should be continued for aims Of con-
quest.

was inaugurated here October 8 by
formation of the League for National
Unity, representing church, political,
labor. agricultural and industrial or
CARNATIONS, to which President Wilson
gave his Endorsement in an address
emphasizing the need for team play
by the forces of American thought
and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders of the move
ment at the White House in a brief
speech, the president expressed the
belief that American public opinion,
although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needed guidance
to remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and Ger
many's rule of autocracy and might
are superseded by the ideals OF de-
mOcracV
