among other offlclala. however,
that it was one of the societies which
flooded members of congress with
peace messages when President Wil
son was asking that a state of war be
recognued.
This disclosure adds another chan
ter to the amaiin.g story begun with
publication of the famous Zimmer
man note. It connects the German
government and Count von Hernstorff
directly and conclusively with machi
nations which the American public had
assumed were a part ot the world wide
Teutonic Intrigue, but which many
people firmly believed were carried on
or financed by German-Americans
without actual authority from Merlin
Little surprise was occasioned either
In official circles or at tha rapitol. al
though members of congress wera
highly Indignant. There was soma
talk at the capltol of demanding aa
Investigation and Senator Overman,
chairman of the senate lobby commit
tee, and Representative Flood, chair
man of the house foreign affairs com
mittee, arranged to go to the state de
partment and ask for more informa
tion Acted Suspiciously.
On the floor of the house. Represen
tative llrflln of Alebama asserted that
he could name 13 or 14 members of
the two branches of congress who had
acted suspiciously and expressed the
opinion that they should be Investigat
ed. Generally, however, the disposi
tion was to regard as absurd any sug
gestion that any part of the I JO.OOO
sought br von P.crnstorff was Intended
for members of congress.
The von Iter--- ff message, dated
January 22. follows:
I request authority to pay out up to
IO.fldO (fifty thousand dollars). In or
der as on former occasions to influence
congress through the organltatlon you
know of, which tan perhaps prevent
war.
t am beginning in the meantime to
act accordingly.
In tha above circumstances a pub.
lie official German declaration In far
or of Ireland is highly desirable. In
order to gain the support of Irish in
fluence here.
Renewed Kaiser's Pledges.
This message was sent nine days be
fore the German government pro
claimed Its unrestricted submarine
warfare. When he wrote It Count voo
Hernstorff was assuring tha American
government and press Inat under no
circumstances would Germany violate
her pledges of the Sussex case or do
anything that might draw the Vnlted
States Into the list ot her enemies.
The American government had mads
no move since the Sussex pledge and
there was nothing on the surface to
foreshadow Impending trouble.
Evidence has been accumulated to
prove that the ambassador not onjy
was cognirant of, but actually direct'
ed, the activities ot Boy-Ed and von
Papen, the military and naval at
taches, respectively, who were sent
home long before the United States
broke relations with Germany.
More Revelations Coming.
How complete Is the evidence of
German duplicity In possession of the
government is only conjectural, but
that It la far more than has been gen
erally supposed now Is certain. It was
Intimated by officials that the series
of revelations Is now nearly complete.
From the ontslde there are reaching
the slate dcparliucut eiioes of the ap
prehension sounded by friends of men
towards whom suspicion has long
pointed.
There may be aome discussion of tha
Incident In tha senate. New provis

trading with the enemy bill, authoris
ing the president to Impose consor
ship over foreign cable, radio, mall
and all other communication and for
licensing ot foreign language news
