carried out on every kind of factory

not be touched. Embassy must in no

Secretary Lansing said the tele'
grams had not been sent through the
state department, thus leaving the in
ference that they must have moved
through one of the neutral legations.
Proves Bernstorff Was Director.
In this latest exposure the state de-
partment believes it has removed the
last doubt that Count Won Rernstorff
was the directing head in America OF
the German machine for espionage.
THE REVELATIONS of the part played by
jeremiah OLeary was not unexpected
and the fact that his name was sug.
gested by Sir Roger Easement, who
later was executed in England for
treason, already had been indicated in
earlier disclosures made by the de-

that were calculated to give the world

Conference Support" Sought.
An interesting statement in one Of
the kilograms is the reference to the
embargo conference which the Ger
man government understood was
about to endeavor to secure major
ity in congress favorable to Germany.
Tie declaration that this conference
requests further support suggests
inquiry into what measure of assist

ready been advanced to the organiza-
ton by the German embassy.

Wilson's Reply to o'Leary.
The president replied under date OF
Sept. 20, 1916:

of those taken by the American Sec

O'Leary Makes Denial.
New York, Oct. 11.-Jeremiah
OLeary, president of the American
Truth society, denied here he had
ever had anything to do with pro-

Paris, Oct. 11.-Now that the first
results of the inquiry opened in Amer
lea concerning Bolo Pasha's dealings
with Germany are becoming known
here, it seems evident that Bolo did
not have any connection with the Ger
man government until he went to
America.
In this connection, Charles Hum

COTTON'S PART IN WAR

Recent investigations in the use of cotton in war show:
 A 12-inch gun disposes of a half bale of cotton with every shot fired; machine gun in operation will use up a bale of cotton Il three minutes; in a naval battle like the one off Jutland over 5000 pounds a minute are consumed by each active warship; more than 20.- GOO hales a year are needed to provide absorbent cotton for the wounds of the injured. One change of apparel for all the troops now engaged in the war represents more than a million bales.
