Dec. 6. In telling Sis story of German propaganda in America, A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of inves.igation of the Department of Justice, today laid before the senate committee investi gating brewery and German propa ganda cablegrams exchanged in 1916 by Count von Bemstortf, then ambassador here, and the Berlin foreign ofiicc. v One of BcrostorfTs message urged that special favor be shown William Bayard Hale, an American about to visit Berlin as a newspa per correspondent, because he was employed by the Hearst organs, which, the message said, had c t spokeiily placed themselves on the German side. Hie'aski told the committee that J Hale was on the Hearst payroll for' $300 a week, and also was employed j at $15,000 a year by a -publicity or- j ganiation formed in this comttfv j by Dr. Bernard Dcrnburg, the lior- man propagandist. "Hearst," the ambassador's mes sage said, Vis not aware that irale i-i ov.r agent, but knows him onlv as a Germanophile journalist who has contributed leading articles to pa rcrs." List of Pro-Germans. From the diary of Dr. Karl A. Fuchr. a (k-rman agent brought to America by yon Bcrnstorff, was pro duced a paper labelled "impoitant list of names," which, M. Biclaski said, contains "practically ail who were actively pro-German prior to our entrance in the war and a few who were active after war." The list follows: ' Prof. William R.

Mr. Bielaski told the committee under date of October 17, 1914, j Count von Bernstorff sent this message from Washington to Dr. Bernard Dernberg and Heinnerich V. Albert. German propaganda atrents in New Y'ork: "The Washington Post was offer- ed me to buy today for $2,000,000! with the understanding to buy it j back again after the war for a mil lion and a half. A second offer was to put the paper entirely at our dis posaUor two months for $100,000. The paper is of importance as the :nlv large newspaper of the capital." c nuer uaio ui uuuuu , :iie uerman amnassaaor, m a mes sage to the Berlin foreign office in ripher, after, expressing regret at ;he death of John R. McLean, said: "The Washington Post has since then been fairly neutral, but may be entirely lost to us if it cannot, as is ery much desired, be put into the hands of Mr. Hearst." Another communication produced by Mr. Biclaski and alleged to have been written by Samuel Unter nner, of New York to Albert, in February, 1916, dealt with the pur chase of a New Y'ork paper for $2,000,000. The name of this paper was not mentioned in the communi cation, but Mr. Bielaski said there were indications that it was the New Y'ork Sun.
