.PROOF COM|NC THAT BERNSTORFF
 FURN|SHEDMONEY T0 B0L0 PASHA
TRepubIican A.P. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Oct 3-Proof that German money was furnished in this country by Count von Bernstorff to Bolo Pasha, under arrest in Paris as a spy, will be forwarded tomorrow to the French government, it was an- nounced here tonight by Berton F.. Lewis, state attorney general.
 Bolo Pasha, who was in the United States between February 22 and March IT, 1916, came here, according to MT Lewis to arrange for the transfer of German money to Paris through New York banking institutions to further peace propaganda in France. He suc- ceeded in getting at least s1 100000 over to the French capital through J. P Morgan & Co.,, and other banking in- stitutions, the attorney generals in- vestigation disclosed. Part of this money, it was revealed, went to Sena- tor Charles Humbert, owner of Le Journal, a Paris newspaper, which however, according to cable dispatches he refunded after becoming suspicious of Bolo.
 The attorney general who investi- gated Bolo Pasha's activities here al the request of Ambassador Jusserand said that it was a preliminary report submitted by him to the ambassador al Washington last week which resulted in the arrest of Bolo Pasha in Paris
 The conclusion will be substantiatet by a mass of documentary evidence, the attorney generals statement said including photograph productions ol the checks, bank records and other proofs of the disposition of the Gremar money furnished Bolo Pasha in thi: country by ex-Ambassador Bernstorff.

FULL DISARMAMENT
 |S WAY ID PEACE
 SAYS COUNT CZER|VIN

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 3.-Budapest dispatches received here say that at a dinner given by the Hungarian premier, Dr. Alexander Wekerle, in honor of Count CZernin, the AGstro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, the latter. m replying to an invitation to make a statement concerning his peace policy said
 TO Talleyrand has been ascribed the saying that words are gwen to conceal thoughts. It may be that this saying was true for the diplomacy of his cen tury; but for the present tune, l hardly can conceive a phrase less accurate.
 The millions who are fighting in the trenches or behind the lines wish to know why and for what they are fight ing. They have a right to learn why peace, which the entire world desires, has not yet come. When l was ap- pointed to my post l utilized the first opportunity openly to declare that We did not want to Oppress any one put that on the other hand, we would not suffer any oppression and that we were prepared to enter upon peace negotla- lions as soon as our enemies accepted the standpoint of peace by agreement
 Count CZeTnin said plain statement of war aims was indispensable. He ex- plained the conversion of the central powers to the doctrine of disarmament by declaring that armaments were nec- cssary until the world was convinced that Austria Hungary was not a dying state, subject to dIsmemberment.
 In conclusion Count Czernin threat ened that unless peace without annex ation or indemnities were immediately accepted it would be necessary for Aus Iria- Hungary to revise it's program and seek condensation for future costs of war.
 This war taught us that we must reckon on a great increase in former armaments" Count CZernin continued With unrestricted armaments the na- tions would be compelled to increase tenfold everything and the military es- inmates of the great powers would amount to billions. That is impossible It would mean com- pIete ruin. To return 10 t..e armament status of 1914 would be a great reduction, but there would be no meaning in not going further and ac- tually disarming. Hence complete dis armament is the only issue from the difficulty.
 Gigantic fleets will have no further purpose when the nations of the world guarantee the freedom of the seas, and required for the maintenance Of ln- ternal order. Every state will have t' give up something of it's independence tor the purpose of insuring the WorlC peace.
 Probably the present generation vii not live to see the completion of this

MADISON. Wis, Oct 3-Speaking before the bankers of Madison today, Secretary McAdoo reviewed the effect of Germany's submarine campaign and how il has hampered American in dustry.
 'On the material side the disaster which would have followed submission to the war zone order of Germany is most striking" declared Secretary Mc- Adoo. The kaisers order forbade our ships from carrying our people and our commerce to Great Britain, France and Italy. Our prosperity and our vel fare as people are inseparably con- nected with our right of free and un- molested intercourse with those na- tions. In the fiscal year 1917, our total exports to Great Britain, France, Bel gium and Italy were $3,457 900, 900 in round numbers. Our export to those countries constitute more than half of our export trade with the entire world. These exports represent the surplus products of our farms. of our mines, of our factories. If we are denied a market for these products our pro- duction would be greatly reduced and labor would be thrown out of employ ment. Stagnation of industry would result and suffering and want would Sldik tIit Oul IlO- duction has always exceeded the home demand and if we are denied foreign markets the result would be demor- alized prices with returns far below cost of production and consequent in jury to every man. woman and child in America
 Certain imports are essential to our life and existence. We must have them and we cannot submit to any tyrant who forbids us to sail on the high seas in the peaceful pursuit oi our legitimate interests and in the un-
 molested enjoyment of rights we wor by the blood and courage of our an- cestors"
 Secretary McAdoo tonight announced further steps on the itinerary of the Liberty Loan special after leaving Portland, as follows:
 Leave Portland October 10; reach San Francisco in the evening of Oc- tober II; leave San Francisco on the I morning of October 12; reach San reach Los Angeles October 15; Salt | Lake City October l6.

GROWN PRINCE FIGHTS
 HARD TO PROTECT
 BASE OF SUBMARINES

Since the middle of last week the German armies in Flanders daily have been trying to wrest from the British the territory tagen from them in the recent big offensive of Field Marshal Haig.
 As on previous days Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria on Wednesday unleashed large numbers of his troops in an attempt 10 recapture terrain on the Ypres sector where the British are seriously threatening his communica- ton line with Ostend and the subma- rine base at Zeebrugge. Ever watchful, havoc among the attacking waves and diseprsed the Germans with heavy casualties and retained all their posi- tions intact.
 There still is no indication of the time set by Field Marshal Haig for the renewal of his efforts to press on to- ward and cut the Ostned-Lille railway, hut he is steadily keeping up his pound- ing of the German trenches with his masses of artillery of all calibers.
 Although the German war office as serts that in Tuesdays fighting along the eastern bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun sector the Germans captured a comparatively long line of French trenches. the official French communi- cation makes no mention of this and asserts merely that violent artillery fighting and spirited patrol engage ments took place.
 While British and French airmen continue their bombing operations against Germany submarine base at Zeebrugge and points of military inn portance beyond the lines, the French aviators are keeping up their attack on German towns and cities in repris6l for the shelling by German aircraft of the open town of Bar-le-Duc. More than 15,000 pounds of explosives are reported to have been dropped on numerous Ger man settlements, among them the famed town of Baden, famed as d health resort.
 Likewise the Italians are giving the Austrians little respite fro maerial in cursions, again having dropped four tons of projectiies on military object ives at Pola. the great Austrian naval base on the Adriatic and bombed other pOitlS Ol HlllitdIy ddNdIldSS' Li dtui ton the Italians have repused deci- sively another Austrian attack on the western slopes Of Monte San Gahriele, ill the GoriZia sector.
 Great Britain's loss Of 1S merchant vessels through attacks by submarine and by striking mines last week was the lowest since Germany started her intensified submarine warfare in Feb ruary.
 The embargo placed by Great Britain on the exportation of all suplies to Hol- land and Scandinavia was made on the insistence of the Ame .,can governmeN so that it's own embargo against the neutrals. aiming at the cutting off of shipments of all kinds to Germany. should not be nullified.
