basket near Clearspring yesterday by
Samuel Mccarthy and taken to the
home of Mrs. William Snyder, who,

the bushes, secured a gun from his
house and twice raised the weapon to
shoot at the basket. which he at first
took for an animal. A note pinned
to the baby's clothes stated that the
mother lived in Detroit: that her hus-
band had put her and the baby out
of an automobile on top of Fairview
mountain; that the baby's name was
Frances Virginia, and that the mother
some day would call for the child.

cording to Count Won Bernstorff. then
ambassador TO the United States.
Replying to q question by DR..
Sinzheimer. when he resumed testify
ing in the reichstag committee inves-
tigation of the conduct of the war,
Won Bernstorff admitted that VIII
helm telegraphed Foreign secretary
Zimmermann about January 16, 1917.
-..thzt ifa breach with America cannot
be avoided, things must take their
course"
The statement created a sensation,
several committee members gasping
sudibly. There was a hurried con-
sultation and after some delay copy
of the telegram was produced. 1t was
read by Sinzheimer.
Net Worried About Ii.
His Majesty does not care a bit
about President Wilson's peace off~r,"
the telegram said, "if a breach with
America cannot be avoided, things
must take their course. Events are
developing"
The excitement grew as the full
text was read and the committete and
audience grasped the full import of
this hidden bit of imperial diplomacy.
There was a confused muttering,
above which DR.. Karl Helfferich,
formef German ambassador to Russia.
could be heard to whisper loudly:
Nonsense"

Sinzheimer declared Germany's pro-
gram of peace conditions sent Presi-

certain German officials had particf-
pated in acts of sabotage, but de-
clared the German foreign office was
never a party to it.
American opinion against Germany
resulted mainly from the invasion OF
Belgium" he maintained.
The former ambassador detailed
President Wilson's peace efforts be-
