IONA patriot who deported 1000 anti
wal agitators, said at a banquet 10
Phoenix:
81 got the best Of these rascals BY
the employment of perseverance. In
the police world you've got to have all
the perseverance, of a Boozer.
"Boozer, you know, was crossing the
continent on the limited, and one night,
after too many high balls. he tackled
me in the smoker, and told me a long,
long story about his domestic troubles.
1.-THE next morning, headachy and
sober, he came to me again and said
how much he regretted his confession
of the evening before, and he hoped
the facts he'd revealed would go no
farther.
"'Oh, that's all right said I, I never
listened to you, old man, and haven't
the least idea of what you said
"Well, that night the chump turned
up in the smoker again, drunken than
before, and he sat down beside me,
and laid a heavy hand on my knee and
said:
"'NOw, then, durn you, you said you
didn't listen to me last night, so I'm
goin' TO tell you the whole story of M
Observation-Disclosures over again."

Washington. - Secretary Lansing
made public as an astounding addi-
ton to the series Of disclosures OF
German intrigues in America and
elsewhere a message sent by Count
Won Bernstorff in January Of this year
to the Berlin foreign office requesting
authority to pay out $4,000 to influ-
ence Congress through an unnamed
organization apparently known to the
Berlin authorities.
Whether the State Department is in
possession of other evidence indicat-
ing the ambassadors activities has
not been revealed, but the extraordi-
nary disclosures already made have
fixed the belief hat agents of tho
United States government have col
lected and compiled the entire story
OF German duplicity and intrigue and
that additional chapters will be
added.
The reference to avoiding war Is
taken as an indication hat Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had prior knowledge Of
his governments intention to proclaim
a m%erciless, widespread submarine
warfare, and that he was equally con-
fident that the United States govern
ment could not be easily placated by
mere promises.
The German announcement of its
intention to expand its submarine
activities was not made public until
Jan. 81, When the world was startled
not only by the determination to re-
move all restrictions, but also by the
statement that it would become effect
i've on the following day.
Three days later the United. States
government had expressed it's disap-
proval by severing relations with Ger
many.

Germany Proposes Confer.
enCe With United States.
IS DESTROYS OF PEACE
Understood to Have Made IL Clear
That Although Diplomatic Relations
10 Avoid HostiIities.

Washington, Feb. I2.-Germany Is
understood here TO have addressed 10
the United States a communication
suggesting that the two governments
discuss Ways and means of preventing
actual war between them.
While information regarding the
channel through which the communi-
cation was addressed is lacking it is
probable it il being forwarded by the
government OF Switzerland.
Germany is understood to have
made IL clear that although diplomatic
relations have been broken she great
ly desires that peace be maintained.
Preliminary outlines regarding the
communication do not indicate that II
carries with 1t any suggestion that
Germany may modify her submarine
warfare.
However, the whole communication
is said clearly to invite this govern
ment to make suggestions regarding
steps 1t thinks might pervent war.
In connection with the communica.
ton information obtained here is to
the effect that while Germany was ar
ranging for her new campaign of un.
restricted submarine warfare certain
German diplomats in various parts OF
the world were informed that while
military necessity" prevented the
granting Of a period in which neutrals
might adjust their maritime interests
every care would be exercised so that
neutral passenger carrying ships would
not be subjected to unwarned torpedo
attack.
