VAST AMOUNT OF
WAR BONDS SOLD
TO IMMIGRANTS
More Than $7800,000 Sent
to Austria-Hungary by Trust
Company Seized by
Government.
New York, July 12. How the Aus-tro-IIungarian
government got con
trol of the savings of its emigrants
to this country through the Trans
Atlantic Trust company, now seized
by the government, was told today
' by Francis P. Garvan, investigator for
the alien property custodian.
The immigrants, upon their arrival
in New york, he stated, were met at
the piers by an agent of the bank,
who directed them to boarding
houses, the keepers of which were
representatives of the Trans-Atlantic
institution. Even the services of cler
gymen were utilized to impress Aus-tro-Hungarians
with the imp6rtance
. of placing all their funds with the
. establishment, whose controlling hand
reached from Vienna. '
Millions of dollars worth of Austro
Hungarian and German war bonds
were sold to these immigrrnts and to
mhfr whn had become American
citizens. '
On the day federal authorities
seized the bank it had 14,000 deposit-
ors and . 60.000 customers, located
throughout the country. Its deposits
tota ed 57.000.000. bince its organiza
tion it had sent a total of 182.000.000
kronen ($72,800,000) to Austro-Hun
' gary. When war was declared to
exist between the United States and
the dual monarchy, the bank invited
depositors to olace remittances with
it "for transmission after the war,"
and a big business was done in this
branch.

Tacksonian democracy has come to
fe with added pep as a result
of the drubbing given to the Dahlman

ments, to give us to understand that
discussions are possible, discussions
which for the time being naturally
will be within a limited circle.
"But the statesmen who have
spoken tip to the present time have
not said a word about such possibili
ties. When such possibilities mani
fest themselves and when serious in
clinations toward peace show them
selves on the other side, then we will
immediately go into them. That is
to say we will not reject them and
we will speak to begin with in a small
circle. ,
"I also can tell you that this stand
point is not merely my own stand
point, but that it is shared emphat
ically by the chief of the army ad
ministration. The chief of the army
administration also does not conduct
war for the sake of war. but has said
to me that as soon as serious desire
for peace manifests itself on the other
side, we must follow it up.
"You will be interested to know
how we are working on this stand
point and certain problems will ap
pear which the present time forces
upon us. Exhaustive discussions took
place regarding these Questions July
1 and 2, at general headquarters under
the presidency of the kaiser.
Stand on Brest-Litovsk Treaty.
"Naturally, I can only announce
here quite generally the lines which
were laid down at that time. Regard
ing the east, we stand oji the basis
of the peace of Brest-Litovsk, and
we wish, to see this peace carried out
in a loyal manner. That is the wish
of the German imperial administra
tion and it is supported in this by the
chief of the army administration.
"However, the dfficulty of the exe
cution of the peace of Brest-Litovsk
does not lie on our side, but in the
fact that conditions in Russia are still
exceedingly uncertain. We are in
clined to believe in the loyalty of
the present Russian government, and
especially in the loyalty of the repre
sentative of the Russian government
in Berlin.
"But we may not and cannot assume
unconditionally that the present Rus
sian government has the power to
carry through everywhere the loyal
promises made to us. We do not at
all wish to create difficulties for the
present, Russian government, but as
conditions now are there are inces
sant developments and endless fric
tion! in the frontier region. How
ever, our principle is that we stand on
the basis of peace made at Brest
Litovsk and we will carry out this
peace loyally and will deal loyally
with the present government.
Declares Allies Instigated Murder.
"They are still under the depressing
influence o fa terrible crime in Mos
cow. The murder of our ambassador
there was an act in violation of in
ternational law than which a worse
could never cry to Heaven.
"All indications point to the fact
that the accursed deed was instigated
by the entente allies, in order to in
volve us in fresh war with the present
Russian government a state t of
things which we are most anxious
to avoid. We do not want fresh war
with Russia. The present Russian
government desires peace and needs
peace, and we are giving her our
support in this peaceful disposition
and aim.
"On the other hand, it is true that
political currents of very varied
tendencies ate circulating in the Rus
sian empire movements having the
most diverse aims, including the mon
archist movement of the constitu
tional democrats and the movements
of the social revolutionaries. We will
not commit ourselves to any political
counter-current, but are giving care
ful attention to the course Russia
is steering."
In connection with this point, the
imperial chancellor passed to a re
view of the political situation in the
west. He then spoke of the reasons
which led to the resignation of Dr.
von Kuehlmann, and concluded:
"The name of the man who is pro
posed as Dr. von Kuehlmann's suc
cessor is known to you. Admiral
von Hintze possesses a thorough
knowledge of Russian affairs, which
is a matter of great importance in
the present situation. But it goes
without saying that I will give my
counter-signature to the appointment
of Admiral von Hintze only on con
dition that he follows my line of
policy and not his own.
"However, as far as I am concerned.
I already have a sure guarantee for
this in Admiral von Hintze's promise.
I will dtrect the line of foreign policy
and the secretary of state for foreign
affairs has merely to carry out my
policy The proposed secretary of
state lor foreign affairs is absolutely
clear on this point.
lhe course with which the great
majority of the reichstag declared
itself to be in agreement in November
of last year will still be followed."

CHOLERA MAKES
APPEARANCE IN
FIVEJOWA PENS
German Agents Suspected of
Placing Infected Hogs in
Feed Lots Near
Council Bluffs
Dr. D. H. Miller, deputy Iowa state
veterinarian, has been called to Des
Moines in relation to the sudden ap
pearance of hog cholera in several
parts of Pottawattamie count.
Five infected localities have been
reported and the cause of infection
in each is declared to be identical a
strange pig was found in each hog
lot and it quickly developed cholera
and died. Dr. Miller's information
was that in each of the five cases the
infected pig was placed in the pen on
the same night.
The farmers were attracted by an
uproar in the pigpens in the morning
and found the domestic hogs chasing
a half wild stranger pig. The infect
ed pigs were small and had apparently
been dropped into the pens during the
night.
Dr. Miller stated Thursday evening
that he was going to devote his en
tire time now to the work of suppress
ing the swine plague.
It is presumed that this was the
deed of some alien enemy who took
this means of cutting down the meat
supply for the armies of the allies.

that the country improved as he came

No women are members of the

for their absence he smiled and said,
"This is a business trip. We have no

The press club members interested
him greatly. When informed that
they were employed on Omaha news
papers he looked astounded. "Don't
you employ women on the newspapers
in Japan," he was asked.
"No, No. Women no good for that.
They get married to , soon," he
laughed.
He denied that he was bringing a
special gift that tradition says will be
presented to American hospitals in
France. "The only gift I have is the
entire services of the Japanese Red

Regiment of Turks
Mutinies and Slays
Its German Officers
Athens, July 12. According to an
uncensored letter dated June 18,
which was smuggled out of Smyrna,
a Turkish regiment, which had been
ordered to Mesopotamia, mutinied
and murdered its German officers.
Many soldiers sent to suppress the
mutiny joined the rebellious troops,
the letter continues.
Talaat Pasha, the Turkish pre
mier, went Smyrna and granted
amnesty to the mutineers, who were
given the promise that they would
not be sent to the Mesopotamia

No Peace Ever Made
On Battlefield Alone
Says Bernard Demburg
Amsterdam, July 12. During a de
bate Wednesday in the Prussian up
per house, Dr. Bernard Demburg,
former German minister of colonial
affairs, argued that a peace was never
concluded on the battlefield alone.
Without the co-operation of diplom
acy, he declared, no peace could be
established.
If Prussia, said Dr. Demburg, is to
maintain its leading position, it must
make and continue to make moral
conquests.
"I am rather doubtful whether it
has succeeded in this," he added.
There were shouts of contradiction
at this, and the extremist junker.
Herr Oldenburg-Janulchau, replied
with a flamboyant discourse on the
greatness of the house of Hohenzol
lern, whose members, he said, "had
ever educated themselves and their
people to fight and die for the state.
"Dr. Demburg is the last man who
ought to talk about moral conquests,"
he said. "Such things lead to ban
quets in honor of the American Am
bassador Gerard."
Dr. Demburg replied:
"I never regarded Mr. Gerard as a
fit object for moral conquest. I did
attend the banquet in question, but so
did the vice chancellor and the sec
retary of state for foreign affairs."
