BERNSTORFF’S BUILT PROVEN _ Made Effort to Obtain German Gold to Bribe Congress—Heflin Seeks Investigation. Washington. Sept. L'4.—The Ameri can government has revealed another German intrigue which has caused a big stir in the national capital. Score* tarj Lansing made public on Friday the text of a message sent by Count von BernstoriT to Berlin last January, asking authority to use S.VUIUO to in fluence congress througli an organiza tion which, the foreign office was re minded. had performed similar serv ice before. To supplement this move, von Bernstorff suggested an official declaration in favor of Ireland for its effect here. The organization to he employed was not named in the message and Mr. Lansing did no discuss it- identity. It was freely suggested among other officials, however, that it was one of | the various so. ieties witch flmaled members of the house and senate with peace messages when President Wilson was aski- g that a state of war he recognized. This disclosure adds another chap ter to the amazing story itegun with publication of the famous Zatmer tnann note, in which Germany pro posed alliance witli Mexico and Japan against the Vnited States and which ha' included tie German-Swedish breaches of neutral ly in Argentina and Mexico. Ii connects the German government ami fount von Reri-tnrff directly and * i-oncltisively with :he machinations which the American puhlic hail as sumed was a part of the world-wide Teuton intrigue. but which many peo ple firmly believed v -re carried on or financed in this eonntry by Gennan Auiericaiis without actual authority from Berlin.

German minister to Argentina, which has dsrupted relations lietween Argen tina and Germany, and the letter of German Minister von Eckliardt. in Mexico Gjty. recently made puhlic.

Teutons Anxious for Peace. Amsterdam. Sept. “4.—The German government, in ii> reply to the peace note of 1’ojie Benedict, a copy of which has beeu received here, "eher islies a lively desire" that tiie appeal may meet with success. Emperor William, the German note says, lias been following tie- efforts of i lie pope toward peace for a con siderable time with high respect. Pence would come from the recent proposals of I’ope Benedict if the bel ligerent nations would enter into ne gotiations in the sense of the pontiff's suggesti.*ns. Enijieror Charles of Aus tria-Hungary says iu his reply to the Vatican note. The emperor sees in the pope's peace plan a suitable basis for start ing negotiations toward a just and lasting peace and expresses the hope that the nations opiK'sing his own may be animated by the same idea. Austria-Hungary's ruler received the pontiff's note with a thankful heart and with an expression of hope that the pontiff's efforts may lead to the realization of the emperor's desire for a lasting and honorable jieace for all parties. No Surprise at Washington. Washington. P. t\. Sept. 24.—Favor able replies from both Berlin and Vienna to Poj>e Benedict's peace pro posals were not unexpected in the United States and the allied countries. Whether or not the action of the pope was influenced by Austria as has been frequently suggested, the ac ceptance of his peace plans by the central powers falls in line with the j policies of those governments in mak ing their people fee! that they are ! waging a purely defensive war against a group of nations bent ui>on their destruction.
