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. Houaa
and senate leaders are determined to
unearth the organization through
which Bernstorff worked. A search
ing Inquiry is demanded. Congress
men admitted Lansing's revelations
showed such an organisation existed,
but insisted it worked without the leg
islators knowledge or financial back
ing. "Bernstorff bad a big expensive or
ganisation working on congress," said
Representative A damson. i myself
heard many bejewled. bedizened wo
men talking peace. 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."
