Plans for Reprisals.
LONBON, Oct. 4.—Formation of a
special ministry to return measure
for measure to the Germans for air
raids over London, is the -war cab
inet's response to the public demand
for reprisals, according to the Chron-|
Icle today.
The special minister. It was assert-!
ed, would concentrate British aerial
forces specifically for raids over
German cities. His duty would be to
devise the maximum amount of fright
fulness which could be inflicted upon
German cities.
All official announcement on the
matter of reprisals was withheld to
flay.
Proponents of a vigorous reprisal
brought a new argument today. It
was that the German cities most ac
cessible for British raiders were in
southern Germany—and the south
ern German, according to reports, is
chafing over too much Prussianism
In the empire. Advocates of Britisn
raiding held that nothing could bring
pome to the southern Germans the
brutality and arrogance of Prussian
Ism so much as a series of raid3
over southern German cities, specific
ally announced as reprisals for sim
ilar excursions over England.

The two men left Bushnell this

TMK DAILY (tATE CITY
GERMAN BANKER
German banker here, and head of the
Deutches ban! first mentioned
through the Bolo Pasha intrigues, is
to be examined by those probing the
case this afternoon.
The Dieutsches bank here is
a branch of the institution of the
jsame name in Berlin.
"Millions upon millions of dollars
land securities have passed through
I the Deutsches bank." said Perley
.Morse, expert accountant entrusted
I with investigation of the Bolo Pasha
and other intrigues. "If the source
.and destination of these sums and se
curities became known, the informa
tion would no doubt be valuable for
the apprehension of majiy men close
ly connected with Geisnany."
The widest possible search for Just
this information is now under way
by New York authorities.
Officials indicated today that the
new government inquisitorial powers
conferred in the trading with the en
emy act might be turned over for the
present exclusively toward running
down the "leads" already uncovered
in the Deutsches bank.
"A thorough investigation of the
books and dealings of the Deutsches
bank and t)ie activities of Hugo
Schmidt offers an Unlimited field for
the United States authorities which
has not been exploited," said Attorney
General Lewis of New York today.
Lew's has been especially entrusted
with the preliminary investigation by
ithe state and the government as well
(as by the French ambassador, who is
interested in the matter because of
the complicity of Bolo Pasha.
"We are leaving no stone unturned,"
Albert Becker, deputy attorney gen
eral, told the United Press, to un
cover the whole matter and have
found many crossing trails. A report
of all information we obtain regarding
other financial transactions of a sus
picious character is being made di
rectly Jo Washington."
"It was not definitely disclosed to
day whether Attorney General Lewis
has been authorized to go further
ithan investigation of the Bolo Pasha
intriguing which he formally dlsclos
ed last night. This showed that
(Bernstftrff, through financial transfers,
cleverly cloaked through the Deut
sches bank, had paid Bolo Pasha near
jly $1,800,000 for influencing the
French press.
"The systejn of German propaganda
needed a strong financial backing,"
Perley Morse said. "The best way of
tracing the whole scheme, fn my mind,
I is through the money end."
WThat makes the investigation of
immediate and prime importance as a
war measure is the belief hinted at by
officials today that Bernstorff was only
one of the active heads of the Ger
pian espionage and propaganda sys
tem. Through full investigation it is
hoped that other agents may be un
earthed.
Attorney General Lewis is exam
ining many witnesses at his head
quarters In the Murray Hill hotel.
Rome of this testimony is directly In
line with the Bolo Pasha case and is
b*tng transmitted to th* French gov
ernment for use against the levan
tlne agent, now held in strict custody
at Paris.

I Where Money Came From.
I NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The well of
jgold from which German Ambassador
'iiernstorff drew apparently inexhaust
ible miliions for Germany's propa
ganda work here and abroad, is be
lieved by New YorK legal authorities
to hare been located at last.
In statements to the Uuited Press
today, the authorities indicated that
trace had been found of a pouring out
of literally millions of dollars—much
of it to Americans—on Count Von
Bernstorff's orders through the Deut
jches bank. Hugo Schmidt, prominent
Other witnesses it became known
are being cross examined for the pur
pose of eliciting information of all the
Deutsches bank's transactions. Among
those of the latter class who were ex
pected to be examined was Hugo
Schmidt himself. Lewis refused to
say what Schmidt would be question
ed about. Other officials today point­|weak.
ed out that selection of a banking in
stitution as the fountain of German
gold from which streams were to be
delivered for propaganda was exceed
ingly clever, because behind the
screen of the hank's heavy business
the trail would he lost.
I What Was the Objective?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—The ob
jective of vast sums of German gold
flowing into the United States from
ihe Rerlin foreign office via tho
Deutsches bank, New York, is being
sought by government agents here to
day.
While all departments are silent on
what they may or may not have as
evidence of further German intriguing
international developments at tho
time the money was coming into the
country are noted.
Early in March two big issues faced
the government—one In Mexico
where the bandit Villa was starting
his reirn of terror along the border
the other a concerted effort In con
gress to force a resolution warning
'Americans off armed ships.

No other first class power would
adopt such methods as these, If only
for the reason that they are so futile
in dealing with modern men. It ap
peals naturally to the German mili
taristic mind, however, to hire a
levantine, belonging to a race noted
for their cunning and rascality, and
then place nearly two million dollars
it his disposal with instructions to
corrupt France. The plot is in the
same futile class as the German ef
fort to inspire Mexico to declare war
on America, to recover Texas, Ari
zona and New Mexico.
The mental degeneracy behind
this conception of the uses of diplo
macy, is the reason for the menace
to civilization which a victory by
