House Way Decide to Investigate
Bernstorff's Plot to Influ
ence Congress.
FIVE NAMED BY TOM HEFLIN
Bulgaria Ready to Quit War Ger
many's Conditional Offer to Evacu
ate Belgium Lansing's Expos
ures Well Timed Haig Makes
Further Advances In Flanders.
By EDWARD W. PACKARD.
The house of representatives may
determine to investigate Itself, or rath
er the action of certain of Its mem
bers, ns u result of the disclosure of
tho BcrnstorlT plot to Influence con
gress und keep tho country from en
tering the wur, by tho expenditure of
$50,000 through some organization.
Representative Tom llcflln of Alu-
bnma precipitated the inquiry by stat
ing In the houso that he knew of some
congressmen whoso actions were sus
picious. Called before the rules com
mittee, he named Senator La Fol-
ctte, Representative at Large W. K.
Mason of Illinois, Representatives
Fred A. Britten of Illinois, and Pat
rick D. Norton and John M. Raor of
North Dakota. Ho did not accuse
anyone of receiving German money,
but demanded that the activities of
these ilvo men be investigated.
Bulgaria Wants to Quit.
Bulgaria, having attained the ends
for which she entered the war the
recovery of Dobrudja, Macedonia, and
parts of Serbia that wero taken from
her In the Balkan wur Is ready to
quit fighting if permitted to retain her
conquests. So says Stephan Pan
urotoff, Bulgarian minister to tho
United States. Ills country, he adds,
has no interest In Germany's nnibl-
tiou to establish a Mittel Europa, and
would have preferred to enter the war
on tho sldo of tho allies, hnd their
promises been as unconditional as
those of the kaiser.
Austria-Hungary, according to ad
vices received in Washington, is rap-
Idly Hearing collapse, and the Ger
man war party realizes that peace, If
It s ttt bo of the German brand, must
bo procured within six months or be
fore America gets fully Into action.
There Is great distress throughout the
realm of Emperor Charles and his peo
ple would gladly stop lighting provid
ed they do not havo to yield too much
to Italy.
Germany Offers Belgian Bargain.
The replies of Germany and Austria
to the pope's peace proposals, fi.lod
with high Hounding phrnsos and hypo
crisy, were virtually Ignored by the al
lied governments and condemned ns
evasive and Insincere by tho press.
Therefore the kaiser came forward
with an addendum, verbnlly expressed
to the papal nuncio at Munich by For
eign Secretary Kuehlmnn, in which he
agreed to evacuate Belgium In order
to gain peace. But the offer was hedged
about by conditions that mado all the
non-Teutonic world laugh. He de
manded thnt Germany have the right
to develop her economic enterprises
freely In Belgium, especially in Ant
werp: thnt Belgium give a gunranty
that "any such jnenncc as that which
threatened Germany In 101-1 would In
future be excluded ;" that Belgium un
dectnke to maintain the administrative
separation of tho Flanders and Will
loon districts Introduced by Germnny,
and not enter into any commercial
treaties aimed nt Germany. In re
turn Germany offers graciously to con
tributo a share of tho compensation to
be paid to the little nation she has
ravished.
Tlu now German party organized
by Admiral von Tirpltz and others not
now in office got into action last week
with the slogan "Pence without indem
nity means Germnny's defeat." This
party serves to co-ordinate the activi
ties of the pan-German agencies and Is
getting large support. The social
democrats are gathering their strength
to combat It, and the result Is likely
to be n very pretty fight when the
relchstng reassembles.
Little News From Russia.
Little is heard and still less Is
known Just now about conditions In
Russia. Plots, countei plots and ac
cusations have not yet unseated Keren
sky, and he nnd the soldiers' and work
men's council may finally establish
complete control over the situation.
The troops In the field and In garrisons
have been murdering their olllcers by
the score, und one correspondent as
serts they havo no heart for the war
since tho czar was deposed a state
ment that only adds to the confusion
of the mental picture we over here
havo of the new republic. The armies,
however, slnco the Germans captured
Jacobstadt, have checked the advance
of tho enemy and even retook some
positions near Pskoff. Winter Is com
ing to -their aid and it Is considered
probable that the movement of the
Germans toward Petrogrnd Is about
ended for this year.
General Soukhomlinoff, former war
minister, first of the autocrats to bo
Judged by n Jury of tho new democ
racy, was convicted of high trensou on
Wednesday, and sentenced to Impris
onment at hard labor for life. Ills
young wife, whose extravagance drove
hlin nearly Insane, was acquitted.
Lansing's Useful Disclosures.
As a means of consolidating the
sentiment of the country and arousing
Its enthusiasm for a victorious war
the disclosures of German Intrigue
mado by Secretary Lansing are unex
celled. And they are ably seconded
by tho stirring speeches that Colonel
Roosevelt has been delivering. Mr.
Lansing times his exposes well and
makes them with a. calm finality that
Is most effective. Ills latest state
ment Is that ho has conclusive evi
dence that Count von Bernstorft, on or
beforo Januury 10 had received and
read the Zimmerman note to the Ger
man minister in Mexico City telling of
the Intention to begin unrestricted sub
marine, warfare on February 1, and
consequently was fully aware of his
government's plan when ho asked au
thority to expend $50,000 to Influence
congress and keep this country neu
tral. Colonel Roosevelt's patriotic ad
dresses were a distinct feature of tho
week. In Chicago and other middle
West cities he expressed forcibly tho
opinions he and most of the rest of
us hnvo of tho pacifists and obstruc
tlonlsts and other pro-Germans, and
ho gave special attention and some
choice language to the case of Robert
M. La Follette, the United States sena
tor with v honi Wisconsin Is aflllcted.
Tho doughty "T. R." Invaded the ene
my's country, delivering ono of his
most fiery speeches at Racine. At tho
Chlcngo meeting and elsewhere resolu
tlons were adopted calling for the ex
pulsion of La Follette from the sen
ate, but that so-called Imnornblo geiv
tleman, seemingly unmoved by the
storm of denunciation, was busy or
ganlzlng his followers In Wisconsin
for a fight based on what he thinks
nro his principles.
South America Is on Fire. .
Germany sought to pacify Argentina
by disapproving tho Ideas expressed
by Count von Luxburg, but tho South
American republic was by no means
satisfied and tho peoplo demanded that
war be declared. The chamber of
deputies concurred In tho resrtlution of
the seunte that relations with Ger
mnny bo severed, nnd It was up to
President Irlgoyen. Ho has been n
determined advocate of neutrality, but
it - seemed likely thnt ho would bo
forced to yield to the demand for war.
Beforo deciding the matter, he began
negotiations to securo united action by
nil tho Latin-American nations. Uru
guay and Paraguay were reported as
eager to break off relations with Ger
many, and Peru last weok presented
to the imperial government n demand
that satisfaction bo given within eight
dnys for the sinking of the Peruvian
bark Lorton In Spanish waters lust
February.
The people of Argentina have been
stirred to Incrensed indignation by
the serious strikes of railroad men
nnd other workers, which have been
accompanied by much violence nnd de
struction of property. These strikes
are admittedly fomented and financial
ly supported by Germans.
Haig Resumes His Offensive.
Having spent the first part of tho
week In consolidating his gains and
bentlng off the desperate counter-attacks
of the Germans, Field Marshal
Haig on Wednesday resumed his of
fensive In Flnnders in the Ypres re
gion. In a few hours his men hnd
occupied ground to a depth of moro
thnn 1,000 yards along most of the
front involved, and were In posses
sion of the Tower Hamlets ridge, were
beyond the bloody Polygon wood, nnd
hnd taken most of Zonncbcke, the vil
lage from which they were driven In
April, 1015. Tho Germans made tre
mendously strong counter-attacks dur
ing the afternoon and evening, but In
vain. The results of the offensive, at
the date of writing, are pronounced
most satisfactory.
Very heavy losses were incurred by
the crown prince In futile attacks on
the French along the Chcmln des
Dames and north of Verdun.
Four air rnlds In two days were
made on England by the Germans nnd
nbout a score of persons were killed.
Both airplanes nnd Zeppelins took part
In these raids and aerial torpedoes
were used. The chief result was a
renewed demand by tho British press
for reprisals. In several bombing ex
pedltlons the allied airmen did great
damage to German establishments In
Belgium. Monday night tho German
aviators clevorJy bombed a French
camp of German prisoners, killing two
and wounding 17. Thoy probably
thought it was a hospital.
Steel Prices Heavily Reduced.
By a voluntary agreement mnde by
steel producers with the war Indus
tries board nnd approved by the presi
dent, a scale of quotations wns estab
lished that reduces prices of steel by
about one-half. These, according to
Elbert II. Gary, are fair and reason
able, though far below the expectn
tlons of the manufacturers. The prl
orlty committee of tho war Industries
board issued an order that In all cases
preference In orders tor iron nnd steel
and their products bo given to con
corns turning out materials nctually
necessnry for the war's conduct. Man
ufacturers of articles classed as lux
urles are the first to feel the effects
of this order.
The federal labor trouble medintors
are a busy lot of men these days. No
sooner was tho big strike of Iron work
ers nt sail Francisco settled tium the
lake seamen voted to strike, and next
the switchmen of the Elgin, .Toilet &
Eastern suddenly quit, crippling the
mills of tho United States Steel cor
poration at South Chicago and Gary,
Also, machinists employed by the gov
ernment In navy yards and arsenals?
made new demnnds for more pay, and
tho bituminous coal operators and in In
ers could not agree on wages. It was
a relief to learn that the International
Brotherhood of Leather Workers de
termined to prevent nil strikes In Its
ranks during the war.
For Second Liberty Loan.
All preparations were completed last
week for the campaign to float tho sec
ond I rty loan. Tho bonds, which
will bear 4 per cent Interest, will be
ndvertlsed by pos 'is. by every post
mnstcr, railroad, express and telegrnph
