Casement Sot Money.
Money apparently went from Ger
man sources in the United States,
through embassy channels, to Sir
Roger Casement, the Irishman exe
cuted in London.
."Several lines of communication be
tween the German diplomatic service
andhe Irish revolutinary movement
art indicated in the captured docu
ments." The statement continues:
"John Devoy of New York, now
editor of the Gaelic American, a vio
lently antijBritish paper, was one of
the active agents of this connection.
Significant entries apper here and
there; references to messages from
the German embassy at Washington
and the German consulate at New
York; mention of asecret code to
vbe employed in communicating with
him and of a 'cipher decree;' also a
notation, the details of which remain
undiscovered, concerning 'communi
' cation re manufacture hand gren
ades.' "
"Very Secret."
The following reference to Supreme
- Court Justice Daniel F, Cohalan of
New York is contained, the commit
tee states, in a letter found in the Von
Igcl papers in cipher, with interlinear
translations, dated New York, April
17, 1916, numbered 335-16 and in
scribed at the top, "very secret:"
"Judge Cohalan requests the trans
mission of the following remarks:
"'The revolution in Ireland can
only be successful if supported from
Germany; otherwise England will be
able to suppress it, even though it be
only after hard struggles. Therefore,
help is necessary. This should con
sist primarily of aerial attack in Eng
land and a diversion of the fieet
simultaneously with Irish revolution.
Then, if possible, a landing of troops,
arms and ammunition in Ireland and
' possibly some officers from Zeppelins.
This would enable the Irish ports to
be closed against England and the
establishment of stations for sub
marines on the . Irish coast and the
cutting off of the supply of food for
England. The services of the revolu
tion may therefore decide the war.' 1
"He asks that a telegram to this
effect be'esnt to Berlin."
"This letter was signed '5132 8167
0230' and was addressed to Count von
BernstorrT, 'Imperial ambassador,
Washington, D. C'M
Not So Harmless as Appears.
A code mtssage sent to Berlin was
given as follows:
'"Natinal Germania Insurance con
tract certainly promised. Executor is
evidently satisfied with proposition.
' Necessary steps have been taken.
"Henrv Neuinan." i
" Of this message the committee has
this to say;
"Xtt. $o innocent and harmless as
it looks, for what the message really
means is this:
"'Irish agree to proposition. The
necessary steps have been taken.' "
" "Information carefully and, exten
sively set forth in the secret docu
ments of the German officialdom," the
committee continues, "was sometimes
wide of the facts. For example, a
'lengthy memorandum of March 1,
1916, transmitted by the secret agent,
Captain BOchra, dealing with the Mex
ican crisis appears to have been
Ivgely the work of some fervid and
projective imagination.

with the publica
statement of an
New York, Sept. 22 Supreme
Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of
this city tonight issued a statement
in reply to a reference to him con
tained in the exposure by the commit
tee on public information at Wash
ington in regard to German propa
ganda and plots in this country prior
to the break in diplomatic relations.
The statement said in part:
How much England has had to do
cation of the unsigned
an unnamed third party
of my alleged views I do not know.
But I do not know and I cannot
understand how my name was con
nected with any papers of Mr. von
Igel, as I never met or knew him and
never heard of his existence until the
time of his arrest. I never sent or
requested the sending of thrre marks
which are attributed to me."
Editor CJears Skirts.
George Sylvester Viereck, editor of
Vierecjc's American Weekly, which he
called The Fatherland before the
United States went to war with Ger
many, disclaimed all knowledge of
theh entries contained in the expos
ure on German propaganda. The state
ment said in part:
"I have not the faintest idea what
entries referred to in Von Nigel's pa
pers mean. Before our country de
clared war I received hundreds of let
ters from many sources offering in
ventions for sale to the German gov
ernment. I may have received offers
to sell quantities of pioric acid. I
know nothing about bombs except in
the sphere of metaphysics. I turned
all such inquiries over to the German
embassy.
"The legality of the munitions trade
has been established by our govern
ment: My action, therefore, implies
no discredit to. me. Between Germany
and the United States there could be
only one choice for me. The motto of
my weekly is my own motto also:'
'America first and America only.'
But I don't surrender the right of free
speech. Criticism is not merely a
civic right, but a civic duty. I did not
wish America to go to war, but now
U. S. Places Orders for
Thousands of Tons Munitions
N'ew York. Sept. 22. The United
States government is again placing
large steel orders for munitions and
prospective purchases of shell forg
ings are heavy. The War depart
ment has placed orders for ordnance
requiring an aggregate of nearly 50.
000 tons and the navy has awarded
contracts requiring about .30,000 tons.
The War department also has dis
tributed orders for 13,000 tons of fab
; ricated shapes for thirty-two ord-
nance stores in France divided among
! ten shops. Word also comes from
his j Washington that the United States
! Steel corporation has been awarded
a contract for 1,400 tons of fabricated
ing and distributed orders for about
18,000 tons of black and galvanized!
sheets. i
Export inquiries for various steel ;
products have increased recently and I
it is now estimated that contracts are
pending for between 75,000 and 100,
000 tons for foreign shipment.

FINAL TOUCHES FOR
AK-SAR-BEN BALL
Dreshers Busied in Preparation
for Big Event. Ladies' and
Gentlemen's Attire Being
Made Presentable for the
Big Annual Affair.
Don't Let Time Slip to
Hour Before Sending in
r Your Work. The Force
at Dreshers Faces An
Immense Rush Task.
This Year. ' ,
Last
Aha! Won't you feel elated when
stepping out upon that Dance Floor?
Pleasure upon pleasures at 'the Ak--Sar-Ben
Ball. As one of our noted
humorists would say: "Isn't it a
g-g-rand and g-g-Iorious feelin'?"
But you'll want to appear rightly,
that's certain. You'll feel "cheap" if
you don't feel "dressed." Men will
want their Silk Hats ironed out; their
dress suits cleaned and pressed;
their gloves spotlessly clean. And
their fair partners will want their
Evening Gowns exquisite and daintily
cleaned; their Evening Coats snappy
to the last degree; theyll want their
Slippers dyed to match their cos
tumes; they'll want their Gloves free
from spots as small even as a pin
head.
And it takes Dresner Brothers to
do all this work; this making of sar
torial preparations. Dresner Broth
ers, at their vast plant at 2211-2217
Farnam St., have the cleverest force
of master clothes artists in the world.
If there is any on set of workers
capable of "fjxing" up Ball Gar
ments rightly it is this same Dresher
force.
Of course, Dreshers stand ready
and willing to do your work at the
last moment, but stop for a moment
to think seriously and you will real
ize that thousands of others will also
want their clothes fixed up in time
for Ak-Sar-Ben Ball wear, and that
you will only be making matters
worse by staving oft your job until
the "eleventh hour."
Better do the wise thing. Call up
Dreshers for a man. The phone num
ber is Tyler 345. Or, if it is any han
dier, leave your work at the Dresher
Plant at 2211-2217 Farnam St.; at
Dresher The Tailors, 1515 Farnam
St., or at one of the Dresher branches
in the Burgess-Nash or Brandeis
Stores. (Dresners nav exnresa or nar-N

A Free Proscription You Ca Hvt Filled
, saa Use t Homo. ,
" Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear glasses t
Arc you a, victim of oyt strain or other
eye weaknesses? If ao, you will be tlad to
know that according: to Or. Lewis there is
real hope for you. Many whose eyes were
failing- sty they bay had their eyes re
stored through the principle et this wonder
ful - free prescription. One man says after
frying it "I was almost blind; could not
see to real at all. Now I can read every
thing 'without any glasses and-aiy eyes do
not water any mars. At night they would
paia dreadfully: now they feel fine all the
time. It was like a miraeJe to tne." A lady
who used it aytt ""Eke atmosphere seemed
fctiy with or without flosses, but after using
this prescription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. I can eren read fiae print with
out glasses." It is believed that thousands
who wear glasses can now discard them in
reasonable time and multitudes more will
be able to atreagtben their eyea so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eya troubles of many de
scriptions may be wonderfully benefited by
following the simple rules. Here is the pre
scription: Go to any active drug store anil
get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop, one
Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of
water and allow to diisolve. With this liquid
bathe the eye two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly
right from the start and inflammation will
Quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering
you, even a little, take steps to save them
now before it is too late, Msny hopelessly
blind might have been saved if they had
eared for their eyea in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician to
whom the above article was submitted, said:
"Bon-Opto is k very remsrksble remedy. Its

scribed by them. The manufacturers guar
