More evidence is coming out day
by day that hundreds of Nebraska
and western Iowa people of German
birth or antecedents, who poured out
their dollars to the German Red
Cross fund, and to the funds for the
relief of German ' prisoners of war
in Russia, or to alleviate the want of
widows and orphans in Germany,
were victims of the covert prop
aganda of Count von Bernstorff.
Sums variously estimated from $60,
000 to $100,000 were contributed by
Germans of Nebraska and western
Iowa for these charities. Checks
are coming to light sent to Von
Bernstorff personally, as custodian,
by individuals and treasurers of vari
ous church, women's aid, and Ger
man lodges and societies, for Red
Cross and charitable purposes, as high
as $3,500.
These checks range in amount from
$100 to $3,500. All of them went
through the bank of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., or the City National bank, of
New York City.
Some were made payable to Dr.
Dernberg, then at the head of the
German propaganda in this country,
endorsed over to him by Von Bern
storff, and the money evidently used
for waging secret war on the United
States, then an altruisticaly friendly
neutral.
Other checks were deposited by
Von Bernstorff, subject to his own
order, and the money realized in liqui
dation, evidently devoted to various
uses but not the use intended by the
donors. ;
From Three Sources.
The check for $600 bearing the sig
nature of Ernest Koenig of Omaha
and made payable to Count von
Bernstorff, represents subscriptions
from three sources, Howells, Neb .
Dunlap, Ia. and Omaha. Howells
subscribed $308.75 Dunlap. Ia.. $44
and Omaha $247.25. The check was
sent by Mr. Koenig as president of
the Westlicher Kriegerbund and re
ceipt was acknowledged by E. Heck
er of the German Red Cross delegates
of New York, despite the fact that
the German ambassador converted
the money into other channel.
The $500 check was subscribed bv
German societies of Blair. Neb., and
was intended for German war chari
ties but was diverted for other pur
poses by Von Bernstorff.
The cuts of the endorsements show
that Von Bernstorff endorsed both
the Blair check and the Koenig
check to the order of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.
Many More Checks.
There are many more of these in
criminating checks in existence.
Bernstorff worked through a well
known New York stock broker
whose personal affiliation with the
embassy was common talk in New
York and Washington. Von Bern
storff repeatedly bought and sold
through this agent, big blocks of
stock in the various industries.
In these shady financial operations
Von Bernstorff had as an agent and
companion Captain Von Papen, his
military attache. The latter was
driven from the United States for
"improper military activities." and
who, when he got safely on the shores
of the empire of '"kultur," referred to
his late hosts as "those idiotic Yankees."
