That an organisation—power-
ful and richly supplied—was st
Bernstorffs command. Is certain
in light of Secretary Lansing's
expose. It was agreed, "on tho

legislators' knowledge of Its
financial backing, they declared.
"Von Bernstorff had a big
organization and an expensive
one working on congress.” said
Repressntatlvs Adamson, Geor-
gia. “There were not only tele-
gram sending agencies, hut in
Washington hotels, I. myself,
heard many bejeweled and be-
dizened women talking peace.
Thought They Were Spies.
"I thought at the time they
were German spies and later my
suspicions were confirmed. The
matter should be carefully in-
vestigated."
There were those whose com-
ments smacked of fire.
“I have heard." said Rep.
Heflin. Alabama, "that there Is
a card gambling room In Wash-
ington. conducted by Germans,
where members of congress In
favor of peace at any price are
extremely lucky when they play
cards. ...»
Representative Howard of
Georgia stated "this money was
