Many in the Affair.
A statement given out by Mr.. Lewis
brings into the affair. besides Coun
Won Bernstorff. the ex-German ambas
sador to the United States. Hugo
Schmidt, German banker and agent il
New York, up to the break with Ger
many, of the Deutsches bank of Ber
lin; Adolph Pavenstedt, former heat
OF the New York banking house o.
G. Amsinck & Co., and a number o.
other persons whose names are fol
the present withheld from publication
The evidence shows, according to
Mr.. Lewis, that it was through
Schmidt, as the agent, of the Deuts,
ches bank OF Berlin, that Bernstorfi
advanced the money to Bolo Pasha
Pavenstedt appearing as the go-be-
tween.
Bolo Pasha arrived in New York on
February %, 1916, and Jeff on March
II, following. He saw Bernstorff Sc
cretly in Washington, it is said.
Big Sum to lie journal.
As soon as the money reached the
Royal Bank of Canada, New York
branch, it was deposited to the credit
of Bolo Pasha and the latter began to
check It out. The FIRST check for $780,
900 was deposited with ]. p. Morgan
& Co. to the credit of Senator Charles
Humbert, owner OF lie Journal OF
Paris. The sum OF $s24,000 was trans
ferred to Mime. Bolo in Paris, and
$4,000 was placed to the credit OF
Jules Bois, FRENCH lecturer then in
the United Statess About $1,000, 900
was transferred to Paris and placed
to Bolo Pasha's credit in a French
bank.
Attorney General Lewis says the
disclosures in no way reflect on M.
Bois, who, he adds, "was one of
several men used by Bernstorff and
Bolo as a cloak to hide the real ma
ture OF the work they were engaged
in"
The attorney general also empha-
sized in his statement that the devel-
opments in no Way reflect on any Of
the banks named, the Deutsches bank,
OF course, excepted. Adolph Paven-
stedt, he added, was the only men,
ber OF the banking firm of G. AM
.sinck & Co., as that bank was then
organized, who knew the Bernstorff-
olo-Schmidt secret. A few employees
who knew that hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars were coming into the
bank In sthc form Of cashiers checks
from the National Park bank and the
Guaranty company were enjoined by
Pavenstedt to remain silent, and they
did until brought before the attorney
general few days ago. ,l

Copenhagen. Oct. 4.-Leaders OF
various groups of German labor were
received at main army headquarters
this week, not for the purpose OF con-
graduating Field Marshal Won Hin

intimated. but in an effort to have
German workmen speed up the pro-
duction OF munitions. The leaders
submitted to General Won Luden-
dorff, the chief quartermaster general,
complaints OF the laboring classes.
These dealt particularly with the
operation OF the compulsory labor
service law A lengthy conference
was devoted to discussing the possible
Improvement of labor conditions and
the maintenance OF the output OF mt
nitions, which General Won Luden-
3 dorff declared was the cardinal duty
of the hour.
Recently private but trustworthy
reports have been received by the As
sociated Press that the German au-
thoritles were experiencing difficulty
III preventing falling off in the pro-
duction of munitions. owing to the
lowering of the working capacity OF
the individual. urdcr-fed workmcn
and the scarcity OF certain raw ma
terials, notably the more rare metals
used in the manufacture of high grade
steels. 1t is doubtful also il Germany
