NEWSPAPER SAYS BERNSTORFF DID NOT KNOW BOLD

German Newspaper Says

A UJsJMgV 111 WWVA W lMi J UM11 sing's Telegram is False.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20. Count Von

Bernstorff, former German ambassa

dor to the United States did not know Bolo Pasha, the Frenchman held as a spy in France, according to the Tageblatt . Discussing the Bolo affair, the newspaper says: "In connection with the Bolo Pasha episode and the -disclosures of Secretary Lansing concerning the part alleged to have been played by Ambassador Von Bernstorff and Foreign Secretary Von Jagow, we are informed by a competent source that the personality of Bolo Pash was not known to Von Bernstorff in Washington, Inasmuch as the ambassador did not have recourse to . sources in the United States which might have been at the disposal of official . quarters here. It is also stablished that the name of Bolo Pasha was never made known to Von Bernstorff and his banker intermediaries did not mention him. Consequently the passage In the alleged telegram published by Secretary Lansing, In which Von Jagow asked Von Bernstorff "what is new about Bolo?" is false. Says Telegram Forged. "This warrants the obvious deduction regarding the trustworthiness of other details in this telegram."

' Tne Taglisehe Rundschau says that the mention of Bolo's name in the Von Jagow dispatch is "another forgery of

Secertary Lansing's for transparent purposes." It adds that Bolo's name was not mentioned for the simple reason that Von Bernstorff did not know that Bolo was the man who was negotiating for the Paris Journal. Among the telegrams givenout by Secretary of State Lansing onOct. 5, was the following: "Number 206, May 31. The person announced in telegram 692 of March 20 has not yet reported himself at the legation at Berne. Is there any more news on your side of Bolo? Jagow." In the inquiry into the Bolo affair, in New York early this month it was learned that Bolo had an accomplice In Switzerland, through whom he had learned the terms on which Germany would conclwle peace with France. Bolo Pasha is said to have received more than $1,700,000 from Von Bernstorff to aid in carrying out his plot.

WHITE WARNS COAL MINERS

. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20. Presi

dent John P. White, of the United Mine Workers of America in a statement today warned striking coal miners that the fuel administration will not be forced into revision of the coal

prices at the mines by strikes. He said: "I want to say to the mine workers everywhere that the Fuel Administration ill not make disposition of wage matters now pending until all strikes are ended and mining conditions restored to normal. Therefore, the sooner the miners return to work the sooner they will reap the benefits of the wage increase agreed to." President White has received encouraging offers of thorough co-operation from district officials in the various states where sporadic strikes have occurred. Officials pledged their full support to terminate speedily the few remaining local strikes. The members of the organization have been assured by Mr. White that the fuel administration will hurry to completion the compilation of cost sheets submitted by the operators, and the general audit necessary to determine the manner and method of absorbing the wage increase, but in the meantime the fuel administrator not only has demanded that normal production be maintained, but that it be increased wherever possible. Confidence that the strikes not yet called off in a few places will be ended not later than Monday was expressed by Mr. White. If they are not he says the severest penalties provided in the constitution . and joint wage agreements will be imposed on the radicals.
