State Department Makes Public Dis patches Received and Sent by Ger
man Embassy in 1916, Ordering Destruction of Canadian Pacific,
Sabotage in Every Kind of Munition Factory and Requesting Further
Support for Vigorous Campaign to
Favorable to Germany McGarity,
WASHINGTON, 0t. 10. Another scries of sensa
tional telegrams which passed between the German gov
ernment and its embassy in this country was made public
today by Secretary Lansing. They are remarkable tor
the degree of cunning and ingenuity displayed in the evi
dent purpose to du all possible injury to Germany's Euro
pean enemies thru cutting off their resources in America,
while at the same time avoiding as far as possible incur
ring the wrath of tin; American people by actual destruc
tion of life in this country and Canada.
The three telegrams comprising this series form the natural' comple
ment to the correspondence already disclosed by the state department con
vying absolutely convincing evidence of a well calculated and systematic
violation of American neutrality by Germany during a period more than
a year preceding the beginning of the ruthless submarine warfare and
the breach of relations between Germany and the United States.
iSHaretary Lansing said the telegrams had not been sent thru the
state department, thus leaving the inference that they must have moved
thru one of the neutral legations.
The statement follows:
"The secretary of stato publishes the following two telegrams from the
German foreign office to Count Von Hernstorff in January, 191G:
" 'January X. Secret, (Jcueral staff desires cneietio action in regard
to roiKsod destruction of Canadian Uaclfic raHway nt soverul Miin(s, with
a view to complete and protracted interruption of truffle Captain IWInn,
who Is on your sidr, and Is shiftily rt" "ing, has Imtii given instructions.
Inform the military Minnie and provide inn necessary minis.
(Signed) ZIMMKHMAXW"
" 'January 20. For military attache. You can obtain particulars as to
persons suitable for currying on Mtlotgp in the United States and Canada
from the following persons: I Joseph MucOarrity, Philadelphia,; -
John I Keating, .Michigan avenue, Chicago; ;l Jeremnih O'lA'ary, No. HI
Park Itow, New York,
" 'Olio and two are absolutely reliable and discreet... No. it is reliable but
not always discreet. These persons were indicated by Sir Roger Casement.
In the United States sabotage can be carried out on every kind of factory
for supplying munitions of war. Kail way eiibaiikmeiits and bridges must
not le touched. Kinbassy must in no circumstances be compromised. Simi
lar precautions in list be taken in regurd to Irish pro-cnnan propaganda.
x. Signed) ItKUIiKSIlXTATI VK OK tiKN'KICAIj STA1 F.
"The following telegram from Count Von Hernstorff to the foreign oflce
in Berlin was sent in September, 11)10:
"'September With irferenie to report A. X., two hundred and
sixty six of -May tenth, nineteen sixteen. The embargo conference in regard
to whoso early fruitful co-operation Or. Halo can give information is just
alout to enter ukui a vigorous campaign to secui-e a majority in both houses
of congress favorable to Cieriminy and requests further supHtrt. There is
no possibility of our lieing eoniproiiiisNl. Request telegraphic reply.' "
Directed by Kmbassy.
In this latest step of exposures, the
state department believes it has re
moved the last doubt that Count Von
Hernstorff was the directing head in
America of the German machine Tor
espionage. The revelation of the part,
played by Jeremiah O'Leary was not
unexpected and thefact that his name
was suggested by Sir Roger Casement,
who later was executed in England
jn the charge of treason, already had
been indicated in earlier disclosures
made by the department. The Injec
tion of the name "Dr. Hale" into the
German organization was something
of a surprise, however, and gave im
mediate rise to speculation as to just
what individual was meant. Or. Wil
liam Bayard Hale, acting as a news
paper correspondent, was then in Ger
many and admittedly cloe to the
Berlin government.
Secretary Lansing adhered to the
same policy of silence today as lias
characterized previous disclosures,
adding that this last chapter of Ger
man perfidy without comment or In
terpretation. It has been understood
that the state department and the de
partment of Justice have other rec
ords of HernMorff's activities.

AMSTKIIHAM, Oct. 10. A mutiny
among the crews of four battleships
of the (iermnn fleet has occurred at
Wilhelmsliaven. One of these bat
tleships was the, Westfnlen, whose
captain was thrown overboard and
drowned. The crews landed. Mar
ines refused to i'ire on them, where
upon .soldiers surrounded the sailors,
who surrendered.
A mutiny also is reported on the
(ieriiian warship Nurenbcrg, which
was at sea. The men seized the of
ficers and proceeded in the direction
of Norway, with the intention of be
ing interned. The Nurenberg was
overtaken by destroyers and forced
to surrender. "
Kinperor Wilhelm went lo Wil
helmsliaven and ordered that one out
of every seven niutneei'R be shot.
Chancellor Michaelis protested, with
the result that only three were shot.
Sentences aggregating 101 -years'
penal servitude were imposed on the
others. One of the reasons for the
mutiny was badjind inadequate food.
LONDON', Oct. 10. A revnluthin
arv outbreak on (ierman warships at
Wilhelmsliaven, about six weeks ago,
is reported in a Central News dis
patch from Copenhagen. The upris
ing is said to have been snppres-ed
only with the greatest difficulty.
Several mutinous outbreaks also
are reported to have occurred among
soldiers at the front. These were not
of such n grave character, the dis

COPKXHACiKN, Oct. 10. In an
nouncing to the reicbstag yesterday
that n plot had been discovered in
the (icrinany navy to paralyze the
fleet, Vice-Admirul Von Cnpelle, the
minister of ma rine, is quoted in a
Merlin dispatch as saying:
"It is unfortunately a sad fact
that the Russian revolution turned
the heads of some persons in our
navy and introduced revolutionar
ideas among them.
Their plan was. to recruit- repre
sentatives on alt the ships to cnusf
the crews to refuse, to obey orders
to paralyze the fleet and force peace
upon the country.

AMSTKItOAM, Oct. 10. The Ger

in speaking of peace, said, accord
ing to advices peaching here today,
thnt as long as Oortnanya enemies
demanded any German soil, as long
as they tried to drive a wedge be
tween the Gorman people and their
emperor, peace was impossible.
"As long as our enemies confront
us with demands which appear unac
ceptable to every single German,"
said Dr. Michaelis, "as long as our
opponents wish to interfere with our
frontier posts, as long as they de
mand that we shall yield a piece of
German soil, as long as they pursue
the idea of 'driving a wedge between
the German people and Its emperor,
so long shall we, with folded arms,
refuse the hand of peace.
"We can wait.. Time is working
for us. Until our enemies perceive
that they most reduce their claims,
so long must the cannon speak and
the U-boats do their work.. Our peace
will yet come."

The Kritlsh yesterday captured

German counter attacks came
promptly last night after yesterday's
allied advance in Flanders, but were
launched In only a limited area and
without any success of moment.
The French were not disturbed In
the occupation of lliefr now won

ahead, pressing eastward from the
