REMARK CREATES SENSATION

''If Breach Can't Be Avoided,
Things Must Take Course"

Berlin, Oct. 23.-The former kaiser
scoffed at the danger of American in
tervention early in 1917. according to
Count Won Bernstorff, then German
ambasSa dor to the United States.
Replying to a question by Doctor
Sinshelmer when he resumed TESTIFY
ing in the reichstag committee 1nVes-
tigation of conduct of the war, Won
Bernstorff admitted that W1lhelm
telegraphed Foreign Secretary Zim-
norman about January Is, 1917, that
"if a breach with America cannot be
avoided, things must take their
course"
Hearers Gasp in Astonishment.
The statement created a sensation,
several committee members gasplnG
audibly. There was hurried con
sultation and after some delay copy
of the telegram was produced. 1t was
read by Sinsheimer.
His majesty does not care a bit
about President Wilson's peace o1fer,
the telegram said. ''If breach with
America cannot be avoided, Things
must take their course. Even these
are developing"
The excitement grew as the full
text was read and the commit, and
audience grasped the full imp lrt OF
this hidden bit of imperial diplo macy
There was a confused mutterlng Dove
which DIR. Karl Helfferich, 70 mer
German ambassador to Russia, could
be heard to whisper loudly: Non
sense!"
Changed Peace Conditions.
When the hearing was resumed
Sinsheimer declared Germany's pro
gram of peace conditions sent to wiz
son on January IL. 1917, and said to
be the same as Germany offered De-
cember %, 1915, were in reality not
the same.
This is the first time ever knew
that" interrupted Won Bernstorff ex-
citedly.
Returning to discussion of alleged
German plots in America, Won Bern
storff said he believed that nothing
ever transpired to justify the accusa-
ton of conspiracy. He admitted that
certain German officials had partici-
pated in acts of sabotage, but de-
cIared thesGermany foreign office was
never a party to it.
American opinion against Germany
resulted mainly from the invaEion of
Belgium" he maintained.
Liked Bernstorff in United States?
Discussing the exchange of notes
between the German foreign office
and the American state department in
1915 Won Bernstorff maintained that
Wilson undoubtedly was ready to at
tempt institution of peace negotiations,
providing Germany made plain she
had no intention of annexing Belgium.
When Secretary Lansing announced
the Captain Boy-Ed, German naval
attache, and Captain Won Papen, Ger
man military attache, must leave the
country, Won Bernstorff said he asked
Lansing If he also were implicated in
the alleged plots.
mo, I would be sorry to see you
leave Washington" Won Bernstorff
said Lansing replied.

ments.

MINERS REJECT
PROPOSAL URGED
BY GOVERNMENT
Vote Down Secretary Wilson's
Settlement Plan.
Action Makes Big Strike Nov. 1
Almost Inevitable.
IS LIKE EMPLOYERS PLAN?
Miners Also Charge Offer Re-
sembles Frelinghuysen's.
Operators Accept the Proposal
for Settling Strike.

Washington, Oct 2s-The United
Mine Workers of America today for
mally rejected the proposal by Sec
retary Wilson for settlement of the
coal strike called for November 1.
John L. Lewis, president of the
miners organization. announced that
the proposal was indefinite, inadequate
and failed to meet the situation. He
added that he would so report to, the
joint conference this afternoon.
Resemble Frelinghuysen Plan.
Officers of the United Mine Workers
of America, in a formal statement, de-
clared, Secretary Wilson's PROPOSE
ton and the proposition of the oper-
ators are not only alike, but both fol-
low exactly the lines laid down by
Senator Frelinghuysen in his speech in
the senate in which he undertook to
disclose the basis on which the oper-
ators would deal with the miners"
This remarkable similarity" the
statement added, was at least an
extra ordinary coincidence"
Before the joint conference began
this afternoon it was announced that
the operators had accepted the Will
son plan for settling the strike.
Lewis said the miners would con-
slider no proposal that failed to grant
the InlIGTS Q0IndnQS 1OT d t1lV0-Qdy
week.
Wilson's Offer.
Wilson's offer was:
That wages of miners be increased at
the expiration of present contract to
amount equal TO the increase in the
cost of living. This increase would be
effective from the termination of the
present contract, March 81 1920.
That the strike order be Withdrawn.
That miners and operators enter into
negotiations for ma king of new scale
to be effective April 1,-1920. If sthe Of
fer is accepted these negotiations to be
started late in January.
Operators and miners professed to
differ on the Interpretation of the
Wilson offer.
The operators declared the present
contract would not end until next
March 81. This would proba bly, null
lily the provision for a temporary in
crease. Miners said the contracts
were void now.
Wilson declared the time for the
ending of the present contract would
have to be left for negotiation. The
point has, been one of those in dispute
and it broke up previous meetings be-
tween miners and operators.
The Wilson offer was compro-
mise between the miners and opera
/ tors demands.
It does not mention hours of labor
despite the fact that the miners de-
manded a six hour day and five day
week. This question will be left to be
determined when a new contract is
negotiated if both sides decide to &C
cept the compromise proposal
