IER, Secretary SON, S. C. ! flooded members of congress with F peace messages when President W1I J son was asking that a state of war be recognized. | This disclosure adds another chap J ter to the amazing story begun with i publication of the famous ZimmorI mann note. It connects the German j government and Count von Bernstonf directly ad conclusively with machinations which the American public had assumed were a part of the world wide Teutonic intrigue, but which j many people firmly believed were carried on or financed by GewnanAmericans without actual authority | from Brelin. Little surpise was occasioned eifh-j i er in official circles or at the capitol,1 although members of congress were j j highly indignant. There was some talk at the capitol of demanding an investigation and Senator Overman, i chairman of the senate lobby com-j | mittee. and Representative Flood, chairman of the house foreign affairs - j _ i committee, arranged to go 10 uiv g state department today and ask for more information. Acted Suspiciously , .? On the floor of the house, Repre- | sentative Heflin of Alabama asserted | that he could name 13 or 14 mem- " bers of the two branches of congress * who had a^.ted suspiciously ana ex- * pressed the opinion that they siiouiJ 9 be investigated. Generally, however. ,[ the disposition was to regard as ab- j[ surd any suggestion that any part o: f the $50,000 sought by von Bernstor.T was intended for members of <conc< eress. The von Bernstorff" message, dated jj January 22, follows: I request authority to pay out up tl to $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars), in d: order as on former occasions to In- 11 fluence congress through the organization you know of, which can per- ^ Jiaps prevent war. v; I am beginning in the meantime to w act accordingly.

The- American gov- d *ernment had-made no move since the -n Sussex pledge and there was nothing -jj on the surface to foreshadow im- A sending trouble, ... .v S rwo weeks later, when von Bern storff was handed his passports, he * professed ignorance of prior knowi- t( e'dge of his government's intentions u to throw its promises to the winds. ^ Evidence has been accumulating t> prove that the ambassador not only s< was cognizant of, but actually directed, the activities of Boy-Ed and von Sl f 4 g Papen, the inilitary and naval attaches, respectively, who were sent home >; long before the United States broke a relations with Germany. a More Revelations Coming How complete is the evidence of German duplicity in possession of the c government is only conjectured, but that it is far more than has been gen; erally supposed now is certain.
