Lansing Gives Proof That He
Planned Huge Peace Brides
Through BoIo Pasha.
LIFTS REVELATION LID
Cunning Of Former German Ambassa'
dor Is Shown in Confidential Mes
sases Given Out by State :.
Department.

Washington, Oct 6.-The State de-
partment makes public further ~docu'
mentary proof of the extraordinary
oner in France, and throws further
light on the Vaccinations of the Ger
man diplomatic service, by giving out
more of Count Bernstorff's confiden-
tial. cables exchanges with the Berlin
foreign office.
The messages signed by Won Bern
storff and Jagow, then foreign minis.
! ter, show that s1,700,00O which the
ambassador obtained authority to
place to the credit Of Hugo Schmidt,
then a representative Of the Deutsche
bank at New York, was sought as
loan to a leading political personal
ity" in France and was counted upon
to bring peace. They were exchanged
In February, 1915, when the French
Socialists were threatening to over
throw the government and there was
talk of France being tired of war and
dissatisfied with the part played by
her Allies.
6ernstorff's Craft Displayed.
The willy Bernstorff cautioned
against expressions in the German
press concerning internal French
changes, suggesting that German ap'
proval might upset all his plans. He
also was careful not to put down the
name Of the political personality, say
ing a verbal report would be made as
soon as a trustworthy messenger could
be found.
Hugo Schmidt testified in New York
before State Attorney General Lewis
telling how the money was placed to
his credit with instructions from Won
Bernstorff that it was to be disposed
Of as Adolph Pavenstedt might direct.
Pavenstedt already had told the attor'
ney general that Won Bernstorff OBJ
tanned the fund to finance scheme
Of Bolo Pasha for peace between Ger
many and France.
Disclosures Without Comment.
The state department contributed
it's latest disclosure, like those that
have preceded it, without explanation
as to how the documents came into
its possession. .... ..s.-.
The kilograms show that Bernstorff
knew definitely with whom he was
| dealing, that Bolo Pasha must have
known whence his funds came, and
that both Pavenstedt and Hugo
Schmidt, New York agent of the
Deutsche Bank of Berlin, must have
been familiar with the whole trans
action.
Not for Use in America.
The kilograms further make clear
that the money was wholly for use in
France. The kilograms show that none
d the money was for use in the Unit
ed States. They indicate that Bolo
had been wholly unsuccessful in in
ducing any American capital to take
part in his plot against France.
The production, of these kilograms
again illustrates the extreme facility
with which the State department is
able to put its finger on almost any
phase of the activities of the dismissed
German ambassador.

Lark con- ducting the funeral services, as- sisted by Rev. H. T. Raney. This was very sad occurance in our little city as Mrs. Kyle had come from her home at RohWer, to spend Christmas with her brother, bringing her children with her. She came with a sad and aching heart for they had just buried their baby at home and she wanted to rest fer a while, but she came only to see her next child taken from her. The husband and father could not be in attendance at the fu- neral as he was sick in bed. Without Divine strength their hearts would break but they had the remunerations of relatives and friends which were sweet, beautiful and sustaining. Nc Crory's heart, as one, goes out to this broken and bereaved home.

Lyons and Campbell were returning from Lake Tahoe and saw the deer, a big i've pronged buck, standing in the middle of the road. The animal must have been confused by the lights, as he stood still until the car struck him and knocked him down. As the buck arose he was struck a second time.

Pledge of American Labor
to Aid Russia's Democracy
CabIed to Premier Kerensky

The American Federation of Labor has
made public a cable sent by President
a resolution recently adopted by the
American Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy. pledging the support of the Ameri-
can working classes to the support of the
new Russian democracy.
The cable read:
AT a tremendously important national
conference, three days of representatives
of labor and socialists at MINNEAPOLIS,
Minn September 5-6-7, called to solidify
working classes and all people of United
States among other declarations the fol-
lowing was adopted with great enthusi-
asm and without a dissenting voice or
vote We address ourselves to the
Watching With Heavy Hearts.
sons of liberty in ali lands are now
watching with heavy hearts the desperate
contest of their brothers in spirit and
arms now battling on the plains of Rus
sia, Born amidst the thunders of the
greatest war Of al tinles. the great Rus
sian democracy brought to al lovers of
mans freedom Il new hope and insPira
tion. Assailed on all sides by a terrible
and insidious foe, now spreading death
and devastation in its ranks and now
rnasauerading as friend and penetrating,
the very councils of the revolution, the
Russian democracy is now passing
through the most critical time in its
struggle for existence.
and Democracy sends greetings to the
fighters for liberty in Russia as
brothers in the same cause. The aims
of the Russian democracy are our aims;
it's victory is our victory and it's de-
feat is our defeat, and even the traitors
that assail the Russian democracy like
wise assail us. In the conflict for the
liberty of Russia the liberty of America
is likewise at stake. Every Russian
soldier who faces unfiinchingly the
enemy in the field is striking blow
for the liberty of America.
1.-The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, representing every
Ioyal thought of American labor and
American socialism, pledges and dedi-
Gates the American working class to
the support and service of the Russian
democracy. 1t calls upon the working
people and the socialists of America
and also upon the government of the
United States to strain every effort and
resource in their command to the aid
of the Russian democracy
