CASE OF COUNT BERNSTORFF UNDER CONSIDERATION.
AMBASSADOR SAYS HE GAVE MB. ARCHIBALD NO PAPERS
DID NOT THINK IT WAS SAFE. CReoerred September 12, 10 p.m.) Washington, September 11. The authorities are awaiting documents from London before an announcement as to the case of Count Bernstorff, German Ambassador, which does not appear to be identical with that of the Austrian Ambassador. It is believed Count Bernstorff merely entrusted. MrArchibald with a copy of a statement from Mr. Lansing, American Secretary for State. The authorities are also considering the prosecution of Mr. Archibald for conspiracy. Count Bernstorff has issued a statement that he did not give Mr- Archibald a single paper or anything else, chiefly because he thought it was not safe. The American press comments sarcastically on Count Bernstorff's reasons for observing diplomatic propriety, and says that apparently only safety regulates his conduct. The press points out that Count Bernstorff, German Ambassador, ought to be careful in view of Count Dumba's plight. The New York Journal states that Mr. Archibald, the American citizen referred to the Note, also carried a communication from Count Bernstorff to the Berlin Foreign Office.
