State Department Makes
Public Messages Showing
Damnable Conspiracy of
Friend Kaiser.
Positive Proof Furnished of
Sabotage Plan and of De-
sire to Corrupt Congress
Into a Pro German Atti-
tude.

Washington. Oct 10-Germany's
general staff, in furtherance of it's
campaign of world domination, sought
in 1916 to have the Canadian Pacific
railway wrecked at several points
Again it plotted sabotage in the Unit
ed States and Canada which would ruin
factories supplying munitions of war.
These two new points in Germanys g
ruthless system of intrigue were
brought to light today by the state de-
partment in correspondence forward
ed to the Teuton envoy. Bernstorff, In
January, 1915.
At the same time the department
published a third telegram Bernstorff
sent his foreign office In September,
1916. declaring that the embargo con-
ference, planning to sway congress to
the side of Germany. needed further
support"
IRISH TRAITOR.
The first two messages show that
the Irish traitor, Sir Roger Easement,
provided the names of men who could
give information on the sabotage sub
ject-including jeremiah O'Leary.
Irish propagandist whose name has
appeared several times in recent ex-
poses. The German embassy was
ordered to provide necessary funds for
the Canadian Pacific railway work and
presumably accomplished it's purpose.
in as much as tunnels on that line
were wrecked early in 1916
FEARED EXPOSURE.
Berlin warned the amba ssador that
the embassy must not be compromised
and Bernstorff informed the foreign
office there was no danger of his be-
ing involved In the intricate machina-
tions he had under way.
The disclosures today perhaps ex-
plain the very caustic reply President
Wilson made to O'Leary on September
%. 1916. O'Leary had telegrap phed the
president that he would not vote for
him. The president replied:
Il would feel deeply mortified to
have you or anybody like you vote
for me. Since you have access to
many disloyal Americans and l
have not, I will ask you to con-
wey this message to them"
