Situation Changed.
Washington, Kc. 10. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebriska, chairman of
'the foreign relations committee, ad
dressed the senate today in regard
to the mention of his name among
advocates of a munitions embargo
" in documents produced before the
; senate judiciary committee , Ger
man propaganda inquiry. s He said
he had no disposition to criticize
the placing of all German documents
in the record, but that it was evident
that the Germans had used the
names of many public men reckless
'y. "( not falsely, the climax of ab
surdity being reached when they
recorded Prof. Albert Bushnell
Hart of Harvard as willing to co
operate with them.
In 1914, Senator Hitchcock said,
he proposed a munitions embargo
bill as a measure for strict Ameri
can neutrality, v Later, he declared,
" German propaganda and criminal
acts in this country and atrocities
abroad caused him jto change his at-
titude. v
From Phase to Phase.
"Like other Americans," said the
senator, "I have passed from one
phase of the situation to another
peaceful neutrality, arnfed neutral
ity, war."
Referring to the letter of a Ger
man agent dated July 22, 1915. say
ing Senator Hitchcock "seemed
strong" for the embargo movement
and had said it would "sweep the
United States," Mr. Hitchcock
pointed out that he had introduced
a bill for a munitions -embargo
more than eight months before arfd

Attitude Changed.
"My stand was taken in 1914 as
' an American for neutrality. The
, Germans in America took theirs by
forming the embargo conference in
1915 as partisans of Germany. They
were supporting my bill, but I de
clined to go to their conferences,
convention or meetings, though I
was often invited to appear as a
speaker. I made my only speeches
here in the senate or in defending
my course later before my constitu
ents. ' !
"My attitude naturally changed
until f ll n n fr ! ti n ptnitiAtie
"I stood first for a strict peaceful
tnd impartial neutrality, even to the
extent of selling no arms and ammu

' either side.

had charge in theaenate of what
was known as the armed neutrality
resolution, which died so dramatic
ally here in the senate at noon on

"A month later, when the issue

FAKE AMERICAN
LEADER IN PLOT
TO TAKE BERLIN
William J. Martin Heads At
tempt o Capture Govern
ment of German capital;
Had Varied Career,
Berlin, Dec. 10 (By Associated
Press). The leaders in the attempt
to arrest the executive committee of
the soldiers' and workmen's coun
cil, according to an announcement
issued today, were William J. Mar
tin and two German officers named
Von Rhreitbaher and Matuschka.
Martin, who is known as ' an
American, has been riving in Berlin
since the outbreak of the war and
is the founder of the "League of
Truth." Posing as an American,
Martin on July 4, 191 S, placed a
wreath with which was an Ameri
can flag bordered in black, on the
statue of Frederick the Great.
James W. Gerard, the American
ambassador at that time, compelled
the authorities to remove the wreath
by threatening to remove it himself
if his request was not complied with.
Admits He Is German.
Later Martin was compelled to ad
mit that he was a German subject.
He allied himself with the German
annexationists and proved a con
stant Source of embarrassment to
the German foreign office, which
tried to suppress him, but was
blocked by his pan-German military
protectors.
Von Rheitbaher is a cousin of
Baron Rheinbaben Baben, who was
connected with the Christiania bomb
plot. Matuschka is a young; officer
who held a post in Lithuania until
the revolution. Both were unsalar
ied volunteer workers for the gov
ernment. The German foreign office de
clares that von Rheitbaher and Mat
uschka were responsible for the at
tempt a'gainst the executive commit
tee. No one else was in their con
ference and their action was most
unwelcome and embarrassing to the
government. Both have disappeared.
