FURTHER EVIDENCE OF,
BERNSTORFF'S DUPLICITY
He. Had Foreknowledge of Ru(thfes
SitKmarine Warefare. 1
Washington, Sept. 26. Further ev
idence that . Count Von Bernstorff. the
formerGerman ambassador to Wash
ington, knew ct his government's in
tention to. inaugurate a campaign of
unrestricted submarine . warfare prior
to his request for money , with which
to influence congress is in possession
of the state department. Secretary
Lansing said todayx that as early as
January 19 Count Von Bernstorff
knew of the .plan.
Answering inquiries,, the secretary
made this statement:
"In view of inquiries which have
been made as to whether -Count Von
Bernstorff knew of the purpose of his
government to renew relentless sub
marine warfare when he sent his
message of - January 22, 1917. asking
authorization fb expend $50,000, I can
state that the department of state pos
sesses conclusive evidence that on or
before January 19, Count Bernstorff
had received and head the Zimmerman
telegram to Minister Von EckSardt in
Mexico which contained the follow
ing: v .
"" "We intend to begin on the first of I
February unrestricted submarine war
fare. We shall endeavor in spite of
this to keep the United States of
America neutral.
"Count Bernstorff was, therefore,
fully advised of the intentions of the
imperial government at the time when
he asked authority of Berlin to em
ploy funds for an organization to in
fluence concessional action in favor
of the continued neutrality of this
country." '
RUS$IAN EXTREMISTS
TRYING TO DICTATE
The Composition of the Provisional
Government.
Petrograd. Sept. 28. The attempt
which is being made by extremists to
dictate the composition of the provi
sional government was endorsed -last
night at a combined meeting of the
social revolutionaries and the peas
ants, soldiers and workmen's deputies,
which adopted a resolution that the
pending democratic congress elect a
committee of its own which, henceforth
would, constitute the cabinet, super
seding the present provisional gov
ernment. It was decided to submit this plan
to the congress for a vote. The
Bolshevik! members who were present
claimed . that all the cabinet mem
bers must belong-to then- party. The
conservative elements declared the
cabinet must be a coalition one, -while
the moderates suggested a compror
mise. Their proposition was that
there be a coalition cabinet but that
it be' responsible only to the con
gress.
As the size of the congress, compris
ing 1,700 members, precludes its sitting
permanently, It Is planned to elect a
smaller body which will claim to be
the all-Russian parliament sitting un
til the constituent assembly is chos
en.
On the eve of the assembling of the
congress tne atmosphere is one of in
tense excitement, but the city remains
orderly. A threatened demonstration
by the Bolshevik! today did not ma
terialize. ,TJie organizers Themselves
were compelled to tesue a manifesto
repudiating any intention of holding
it. .......
