Bernstorff was in the habit of u.s.
ing money to influence congress to
do the bidding Of the Kaiser He
even asked the Kaiser for fifty
thousand dollars TO influence con.

Two startling facts stand out by this
revelation. One is that the Kaiser
held Congress cheap as dirt. and the
other may be an explanation why
certain members Of congress op-
posed the war so vigorously.
