gress is in line with other evidence
now in possession of the state depart
ment showing the extent to which
the German government had gone in
building up an organization for propa-
ganda and espionage.
Senators Not Surprised.
Little surprise over the disclosures
was manifested at the capitol.
"In view of the fact that charges Of
large expenditures of money in Ger
man propaganda have not been de-
nied," said Senator Reed, "this new
evidence is cumulative. The money
evidently was spent in propaganda. 1t
is possible that there are men in this
country big enough scoundrels to take
money for that purpose. 1 would be
deeply interested if there is any
charge that any member of congress
knew that organizations seeking to
influence him were financed by Ger
many"
Senator wadsworth said: when
you receive 400 kilograms in one day,
all in the same language and nearly
all signed with some German name, it
is evident that somebody is putting UP
some money. We received thousands
OF kilograms - every member of the
senate, am sure-seeking to influence
US against the war"
Insult to Nation.
Senator Norris said: II have heard
1t repeated that both Germany and
England used large sums of money in
this country. No organization that
know of got any German money or
any other kind. Assuredly no German
money was used to influence the men,
beers of congress who were against
war. The Bernstorff message was
sent, you may notice, at a time wheL
President Wilson was against war"
"That is an insult to this govern
ment," Senator Stone, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee,
angrily declared "It is absolutely in
tolerable. Any representative of any
foreign government who should make
such an attempt to interfere with af-
fairs of this government-for it is di.
rect interference with the government
to attempt to influence congress-well
deserves to be sent from the ceun.

| lance Of German activities In this
country.
Intrigue Traced to Embassy.
Records of the department Of justice
are overlooking with reports from
hundreds of agents concerning Ger
man intrigue, many of which led to
the German embassy, and some of
which resulted in the recall at Presi-
dent Wilson's request of Capts. Boyd
and Won Papen, German naval and mil
itary aides. Up to this time Boyd
and Won Papen had appeared as the
master spirits of German propaganda
here. Intimations that German plots
and intrigues were directed not by
them, but by Count Won Bernstorff,
with the full approval of Berlin, here
tofore had been met by officials with
silence. For months past, however,
there have been many indications that
the American government had estab-
lished Bernstorff's direct connection
with much of the German secret work
conducted here and that there was am
pie basis for request for his recall
months before the diplomatic break
with Germany.
Left Work to Attaches.
Up to the time of Boy-Ed's and Won
Papen's recall, Won Bernstorff, appar-
emily for diplomatic reasons, had
sought to remain clear personally of
connection with the great volume of
pro-German activities conducted here
by his attaches. From disclosures
concerning Boy-Ed's and Won Papen's
manifold activities here, officials ap-
parently obtained the impression that

Gradually the purpose of the sug-

Pacifsts as CatspaWs.
1t was assumed, however, that he
referred to an organization he had set
up, although some officials were in
clined to believe that the method of In
duencing was the using of pacitists
to rake the chestnuts out of the fire,
rather than by any direct subordina-'

At least one of the most active or
CARNATIONS flooded Washington witk
kilograms just prior to the war and
during the days Immediately following
the break in relations. Telegraph
wires were congested with hundreds
of thousands of kilograms and mail
pouches were filed with literature cal
culated to influence congressman to
vote against any measure looking to
war with Germany. How important
role the German diplomat played be-
hind the scenes in that instance is not
definitely known, but it always has
been assumed that German agents
were largely responsible for the activ-
tiles that so embarrassed the president
and had the effect of supporting the
opposition that developed in congress.
Secretary Lansing adhered to his de-
termination not to discuss this latest
disclosure and refused to tell how the
message to Berlin came into the
hands of the government.

reply of an official at the state de-

Ambassador Bernstorff might have
added to this duplicity the irony of
using the United States as trans
mitter of the message.
1t is known that the message
reached Berlin, but whether the Ger
man foreign office ever was able to
get reply to America is not known.
1t was indicated that it came into pos

time after it was sent, perhaps after

after the declaration of war.
