ROUND-UP DIRECTORS ARE PLEASED AT SUCCESS OF 1917 SHOW Y ' JA I f l . ' WASIflXGTON, Sept. 21 Bernstorff actively plotted against the United states while be was ambassador here, and ask ed Berlin for $50,000 to Influence congress, the state department announced. The department made public the following note wliicb Bern storff sent to Berlin January 22 1917: "I request authority to pay up $50,000 as on former occasions to Influence congress and the organ Ization yon know of, which can perhaps prevent war. I am beginning In the meaa tlm to act accordingly. uIa the aaow circniurt an mi a public official German declara tion in favor of Ireland Is highly desirable Co gain the support of Irish in floe noes here.' FIRST POSITIVE EVIDENCE. The state department didn't an nounce the name of the organization Bernstorff mentioned. How the Am erican government secured the mes sage was kept secret. This startling message Is the first positive evidence made public that Bernstorff had personal guilty knowl edge of the German intrigue in the United States. Bernstorffs advice concerning Ire land was apparently heeded as Ger many soon thereafter proclaimed she favored home rule for Ireland and India. FORMER INTRIGUES REVEALED. The Bernstorff note shows clearly the enemy was Intriguing sometime because it was declared the money 1 would be paid as on former occasions. The communication was sent when I Germany and the United States wero i directly on the verge of breaking re- j lations. Ten days later the Teutons 1 put Into effect the unwarned subma rining policy. It Is believed the systematic reve lation of German intrigue on this continent Is to arouse the United States to its danger and convince the German people that their government Is a sinister thing. The Bernstorff note stirred con gress as no previous circumstance In the war. The senate is not In session but throughout the capitol building conversation centered on the note- OFFICIALS DEMAND INQUIRY. WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.

I thought then they were German spies, and later my suspicions were confirmed. The mat ter should be carefully investigated." Representative Haflin of Albany, id. "I have heard there Is a card gambling room In Washington, con ducted by Germans, where congress men favoring peace are extremely lucky when they play." Representative Howard of Georgia id. "This money was all used for telegrams. Some was used directly. think I can pick out the men who got It." PAPER AVOIDS SUPPRESSION Oregon DcuOoh beltnng Becomes the Portland American. PORTLAND. Ore..
