The Senate voted the money for the
exhausted cash box of Chairman Nye's
committee yesterday after another
flare-up between the North Dakotan

Texas. The latter's ire was aroused a

Wilson "falsified" in saying he knew
nothing of secret Allied treaties until
the end of the World War.
Nye told the Senate Connally's "vio-
lent temper and unruly tongue" had
forced disclosures
A fiery reply from the Texan fore

WAR PAPERS BARE
WILSON'S CONCERN
Secret Documents Reveal
He Personally Charted
Policy Of Neutrality.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secret documents Of the State De-
partment disclosed today how WooG-
row Wilson personally charted the
Nations neutrality policy prior to
American entrance into the World
War.
Page proofs of notes, letters. memo
randa and other official documents,
which the department will publish
soon, include the rough outline OF an
early note to Germany protesting un-
restricted submarine warfare, drafted
by the wartime President himself.
The draft was submitted to William
Jennings Bryan, then Secretary of
State, April %, 1915. as a result Of
the death of Leon Chester Thrasher,
an American. citizen. in the sinking
OF the British vessel Falaba March %
in the Irish Sea by German sub
marines.
Put Protest on High Plane.
Wilson proposed that the protest
should be placed "on very high
grounds" and not be limited to the
loss of one American citizens life.
His decision determining American
policy was made soon after the first
submarine sinkings, long before the
destruction of the Lusitania and other
ships inf1amed American public opin-
ion against ruthless undersea warfare.
The United States on February 10.
1915. had served notice on Germany
that, ii American lives were lost as q
result OF submarine warfare, the Ger
man government would be held to
strict accountability"
Wilson Wrote of Menace.
When the State Department rem
dered a report on Thrasher's death,
Wilson, on April 3, wrote Secretary
Bryan:
Il do not like this case.
1T Is full of disturbing possibilities.
But it is clear to me that this Ameri-
can citizen came to his death by rea-
son Of acts on the part of German
naval officers which were in unques-
tionable violation Of the just rules OF
international law with regard to un-
armed vessels at sea. and 1t Is prob
ably our duty to make it clear to the
German government that we will In
sist that the lives of our citizens shall
not be put in danger by acts which
