so much right now it is because we
are more impressed by what the Ger

“We must first deal with the ma
terial questions which are vitally im
portant. It is for President Wilson
to interpret his fourteen points, after
which their application will be ren
dered easier.
“We have already decided that Ger

“President Wilson is likely to ask
the allies to adopt measures enabling
Germany to maintain her economic
liberty.'which the allies will accept.
But. concerning the league of nations,
Germany should enter a period of
probation before she is admitted to

tell.
“We feel a natural reserve regard

BRITAIN DECIDES ATTITUDE
ON FREEDOM OF SEAS
LONDON. Dec. 12. —The British
government has decided upon the at

ference regarding the freedom of the
seas, according to the Daily Express
today. The newspaper refers to the
American naval program as set forth
by Secretary Daniels and says:
“Official circles in London are
completely satisfied with this and
with the grateful tributes to the
British navy by former President
Roosevelt. Admiral Sims and other
Americans. The British government
is ready to concede to the United
States the freest of all free hands in
naval development, and it welcomes
the idea of the extension of Ameri
can sea power as one of the best
guarantees of the peace of the world
and of real freedom of the seas.
"All we ask for the empire is what
we will willingly concede to the
United States—freedom of action.”

Hearst's Letters Are Read
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. —The sen
ate committee investigating activi
ties oL' the German propagandists in
this country today observed a holi
day while Major E. Lowry Humes,
who is conducting the probe, pre
pared new evidence.
The committee adjourned subject
to call by its chairman. Senator Over
man. Today Senator Overman said
that the committee would probably
resume business the latter part of
the week, possibly Friday.
Samuel Untermyer. New York law

District Attorney Becker, of New

given by A. Bruce Bielaski. depart
ment of justice. . . . .
Copies of instructions telegraphed
bv William Randolph Hearst to the
editors of his newspapers and of oth
er messages received and sent by him
at Palm Beach, Fla., early in 191 <
just before the United States entered
the war, were read yesterday into the
record of the senate committee in
vestigating brewers and German
propaganda. They were taken trorn
the files of the department of justice
and given to the committee by A.
Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of
investigation.
Mr. Hearst s messages directed
that editorials advocating embargo
on shipments of munitions and food
to the allies be prepared for his New
Y'ork papers; instructed that a refer

gans were printed be taken, and that

Zimmerman Note
Other of the telegrams related to
the famous Zimmerman note in
which Germany proposed an alliance
with Mexico and Japan and which tne
Associated Press revealed to the
world. One message signed Doc
tor.” and sent from Palm Beach, said
the note probably was a forgery pr®“
pared by the attorney general to
frighten congress into giving the
president .he powers he demanded
and perhaps also into passing the
espionage bill.” „
This telegram was dated March l
and was sent after Van Mann, at New
York, had telegraphed Hearst at I alm
Beach a copv "of the instructions
as sent bv Dr. Alfred Zimmermann,
German foreign secretary to German
Minister von Eckhardt in Mexico,
through Von Bernstorff now in pos
session of the United states govein
*nOn‘ March 1 S. S. Carvalho, of the
New Y'ork American, sent Mr. Hearst
a telegram saying that "Senator
‘Swann’ (Swanson), of Virginia, an
nounced in the senate this morning
that he was authorized by the presi
dent to state that the Zimmermann
note to Mexico was textually correct.
Lansing made same announcement
from state department," and asked:
“Will you outline such editorial as
you wanted printed?"
Before the telegrams were read
into the record, the committee heard
Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Har
vard university, whose name was
contained in a “list of important
names” found In the diary of Dr.
Karl F. Feuhr, a German propa
gandist. Dr. Hart, who has two
sons In the army, entered an em
phatic denial of pro-German tenden
e'es and declared he was stronglv
anti-German before and after the
United States entered the war.
Messages from Ellhu Root and
Charles W. Eliot, vouching for Dr.
Hart's loyalty, were received by
Chairman Overman and placed in
the record
In the senate during the day Sen
ator Hitchcock delivered a prepared
address, explaining his attitude to
ward the shipment of munitions to
the allies before the United States
entered the war. He had been men
tioned in communications of German
agents as favorable to this proposal.
Senator Hitchcock recalled that his
attitude on the subject was well
known since he had Introduced a
bill to make such sh’nments unlaw
ful. Like other Americans, he said,
his views had undergone a change.
He first favored peaceful neutrality,
he said, then armed neutrality and
finally a declaration of war.
The committee adjourned todav
until Friday, when German propa
ganda will be further Inquired into,
it was said. Witnesses vzill include
Deputy Attorney General Becker, of
New York, and Francis Garvin, of
the bureau of investigation of the
alien property custodian’s office.
Message From Zeitung
Among the messages received and
sent bv Hearst and others read into
the committee’s record today was
one from the Vossisehe Zeitung. sent
via Sayville, N. Y., February 22,
nineteen days after the United States
severed diplomatic relations. It was
addressed:
“William Randolph Hearst. The
Breakers. Palm Beach, Fla., “and said:
“Since rupture relations Reuters’
misrepresentations more than ever
uncontrollable. Kindly cable brief
statement precise situation opinion*
leading American circles. Many
thanks beforehand."
On February 24 Hearst sent this
message to Mr. Carvalho, of the New
York American;
“Don’t you think we should print
In New York the dispatch from Vos
sische Zeitung, which query reads
as follows: Note (probably quote
meant) ’Since rupture relations Reu
ters’ misrepresentations more than
ever uncontrollable. Kindly cable
brief statement prec' e situation. My
reply in New York?” ,
On the following day. February 25.
Hearst sent this message to Car
valho:
“Use Star-Spangled Banner in ail
morning papers. Do not print Vos
sische Zeitung message.”
In a message to the New York
American on February 24, 1917, Mr.
Hearst outlined instructions to be
cabled to William Bayard Hale, then
a Hearst correspondent in Berlin,
and who, according to evidence re
cently produced, was on the Ger
man payroll without Hearst’s knowl
edge. Mr. Hearst said he believed
a vast majority of the people in
America and Germany opposed the
United States entering the war. and
concluded: “We earnestly desire to
employ the influence of our country
not for the extension and protraction
of the war. but for the promotion of
a just and lasting peace."
A message dated March 2. signed
“Doctor” and adressed to S. S. Car
valho. New York American, declared
that the famous Zimmerman note in
which Germany proposed an alliance
with Mexico and Japan, and which
the Associated Press revealed to the
world, probably was a forgery pre
pared by the attorney general.
The object of the “forgery," the
message said, “was to frighten con
gress into giving the president the
powers he demanded and perhaps
also into passing the espionage bill.”
Doctor’s Messages
The message of March 2. signed
“Doctor" said in part:
“Agree with Francis, Zimmermann
note all probability absolute fake and
forgery, prepared by very unscrupu-
Icus attorney general’.* very unscru
pulous department. Everybody knows
that the secret service police are
the most conscienceless manufactur
ers of forged evidence in the world.
“Gregory’s whole career in office
as Francis showed in recent editorial,
has been a spy sent here and plot
conceiver. He has not been bound
by morals, facts, or the constitution.
He has employed the secret service
to enforce England's unlawful or
ders. He has attempted to put a hill
through congress to nvike any criti
cism of his acts or of the president's
acts or of any political move or
measure treasonable and punishable
as such.
“He is possibly violently pro-Brit-

ish. He is su-ely violently pro-cor
poration. He is located where he can
do the corporations the most good,
and lie has been unwilling to be re
moved, or they have been unwilling
to have him removed even for a po
sition on the supreme bench. Hu and
Burleson are House’s appointments,
and House has been a. corporation
lobbyist all his life
“The object of the Zimmerman for
gery was to frighten congress into
gicving tiie president the powers that
he demanded and perhaps also into
passing tlie espionage bill. When
Wilson wanted to give away the
rights of the United States in the
Panama canal he pretended that he
had private information of a dan
gerous international situation suffi
cient to justify his acts. He has
never revealed his private informa
tion and no one now believes that he
ever had any.
"He could not repeat this false
claim on this occasion so a complai
sant cabinet officer this time under
took to manufacture sufficient false
evidence to enable Mr. Wilson to have
his way. It is possible that the
British secret service co-operated in
these plans. The only serious con
sequence is that the whole people
of this country, ninety per cen of
whom do not want war. may be pro
jected into war because of these mis
representations and these forged
documents, if they are forged. . . .
“If we do not want to say all this
editorially, we can say part of it
editorially, and get some one to
stand for interview as Hale use to
do to bring all these points out, es
pecially those about the probable
forgery of the note. We should de
velop the forgery phase of the note
for the Sunday paper if Francis and
I seem to be right.”
A message elated February 21, 1917,
adressed to Philip Francis, in care
of the .New York American, said
there should be a vigorous attack on
the espionage bill, and quoted Sena
tor Cummins as saying the measure
was the most stringent and drastic
ever proposed to curb a free people.
“The Democratic party,” the mes
sage adds, “seems to forget that this
is a republic in which the peopie
govern, and in which full information
is essential to intelligent govern
ment.”
A message date March 3, 1917,
signed “Hearst" and sent to Carval
ho, said:
“If situation quiets down please
remove color flags from first page
and little flags on inside pages, re
serving these for special occasions of
a warlike or patriotic kind. 1 think
they have been good for this week,
giving us a very American character
and probably helping sell papers, but
to continue effective, they should be
reserved for occasions.”
“Bod, White and Blue”
A message signed “Hearst” ad
dressed to Carvalho dated February
26, 1917. said:
“Why not run the red, white and
blue title that we had for last edi
tion through all editions for a few
days during these troublous times?
1 think it will meet popular senti
ment. Also please run little Ameri
can flags to right and left of date
lines on inside pages, like the Chicago
Herald. Our editorials should be
patriotic without the slightest crit
cism direct or indirect of administra
tion. I guess Germany is going to
sink every ship that tries to run the
submarine blockade and this means
three things—first, that we will get
into the war, second, that England
will be starved into submission in
less than six months, third, that Ger
many will then have time to devote
to us and this country will soon be
in a condition similar to warring Eu
ropean countries. We must prepare
in every way. Can we say these
things editorially?"
A message dated February 26, 1917,
from New Y’ork, signed “Van Hamm”
addressed to W. R. Hearst, Palm
Beach. Fla., said:
“Earnestly urge immediate action
to cheek or stop Hale dispatches.
They come by wireless and surely are
Picked up despite your well-known
attitude of neutrality. These dis
patches are so worded as to permit
the interpretation that Berlin is dic
tating our policy. I fear we are
drifting into a situation akin to the
false McKinley one only accentuated
manyfold. With profound respect 1
urge we check Hale and all agencies
that tend to throw discredit upon
our declared attitude of sturdy
Americanism.”
On February 25, 1917, Hearst sent
a message addressed to F. W. Kel
logg, Washington Bureau of the New
York American, saying: “When I in
scribed the watchword ‘An American
paper for the American people’ over
the titles of my newspapers, I meant
just what that motto said," and de
claring he would not supplicate Eng
land tor news or for print paper or
for permission to issue, nor allow
his papers to be edited in the small
est degree by an foreign power. A
message on the same day to Car
valho, asked that the verses of the
“Star Spangled Banner” be kept
standing across the American’s edi
torial page, and that the evening pa
pers keep standing verses reproduced
irom Harper’s Weekly during the
Civil war and referring to shipments
of arms by England to the south.”
Under date ot February 25, 1917.
a message signed “Hearst" directed
Philip Francis, of the New York
American, to write an editorial ad
vocating embargo for the American,
“along your own lines,” and to pre
pare one for the Evening Journal
amplifying and improving sugges
tions, some of which were as fol
lows:
“America is not only being starv
ed for the benefit of xvarring Europe,
but it is being plundered of its
wealth as well. . . . We are re
ceiving in return counters media of
exchange which may become com
paratively worthless and promises to
pay which may never be redeemed.
Os what use are the I. O. U.'s of a
bankrupt?
“We are revelling in mock pros
perity and will all wake up some
line morning and find the sheriff at
our doors.
“Why are we wasting our wealth?
If it were for some noble purpose,
we could afford to go poor for a
generation and find comfort and con
solation in a worthy deed. But no
we are wasting our wealth to con
tinue a carnival of murder, to pro
long an era of overwhelming disas
ter, to encourage the destruction of
tne white race, to tear the achieve
ments of civilization which have tak
en ages to construct, to repudiate re
ligion and violate all established
standards of decency, morality and
righteousness, to prostitute the’prog
ress of the world to the meanest and
basest and vilest of nurposes "
xr t Geo^ e Sylvester Vlerick, editor of
'iencks Weekly, formerly The Fa
therland, whose names has been men
tioned several times in the inquiry,
sent Hearst a message from New
York under date r,f March 1. saying
he believed the storv of the Zimmer
man note was a “hoax” and that iht
document was “planted bv British
agents.”
Under date of March 3 Hearst sent
these messages to Carvalho.
“I feel congress should remain in
continual session and protect the peo
ple’s liberties. This making a dic
tator of the president desperately
dangerous precedent. It may do no
immediate harm with a good presi
dent, but it may do immense in.iurv

Under date of March 4 this tele

W. N. Shibert telegraphed from
New York two days later to W. J.
Willecombe, at Palm Beach, 1* la., that
message to Hale was held up by con
gestion at the Tuckerton. N. •

asking him to “make strenuous ef

laeage of Peace
On February 23, the Universal
League of Peace sent this telegiam
from New York to Mr. Hearst.
“Thank you for your noble work
on behalf of peace. People want no
war against Germany. England arch
enemy of United States. Country not
prepared for war. Let us prepare em
bargo on munitions and foodstuffs.
No additional powers to president.
Disaster will follow war.’
This message was signed by Theo
dore Pinther, president of the league,
and C. H. Honing, secretary.
On February 25 Hearst sent a tele
gram to Carvalho asking him to keep
standing in the “evening papers the
verses printed in the American repro
duced from Harper’s Weekly during
the Civil war and referring ship
ments of arms by England to the
south."
Carvalho protested the next day In
this message: .
“Cannot find Harper’s Weekly poem
in American. Found one reproduced
in Fatherland from Harper's Weekly
1863 attacking England for sending
arms, etc., therefore in consequence
of the sinking of Laconia today with

in the next few months in the peace
confer cnce was going to leave a
mark upon the world. The ages to
come, he said, would be able to reap
the fruits of it.
Germany Must Pay
The premier next dealt with the
question of indemnity. He declared
I the war had cost Germany less than
it had cost Great Britain. it had
cost Great Britain, he declared, 8,-
000,000,000 pounds, a gigantic sum.
The German bill, he believed, was 6,-
000.000,000 pounds or 7,000,000,000
pounds. He contended it was inde
fensible that the person who was in
the wrong and had lost should pay
less than the person who was de
clared to be in the right and had
won.
The premier said a British impe
rial commission had been appointed
to investigate the capacity of Ger
manv (to pay) and that he had re
ceived its report. He summarized
his remarks on this point as fol
lows:
“First—As far as justice is con
cerned, we have an absolute right
to demand the whole cost of the war
from Germany.
“Second —We propose to demand
the whole cost of the war from
Germany.
“Third—When you come to the
exacting of it we must exact in such
away that it does not do more
harm to the country that receives
it than the country that is paying it.
"Fourth —The commission ap
pointed by the British cabinet be
lieves it can be done.
“The allies are in exactly the
same boat. We shall put in our
demands all together and whatever
they are they must come in front
of the German war debt.”
The prime minister continued:
Must Punish Kaiser
"The first consideration in the
minds of the allies will be the in
terests of the people upon whom the
Germans have made war, and not
in the Interests of the German peo
ple who have made war and have
been guilty of that crime.”
With regard to the former German
emperor, the premier said:
“There is absolutely no doubt
that he has committed a crime
against international right, and
ought to be held responsible for it
so far as the liuropean allies are
concerned.”
The premier said he hoped that
America would take the same view
when President Wilson arrived as
to the demand that would be put
forward on the part of the Euro
pean allies "to make the kaiser and
his accomplices responsible for this
terrible crime.”
Referring to a letter said to have
been written by a British general
to a French general in which the
British officer was quoted as saying
it was proposed to establish a Brit
ish national army of twenty . di
visions based on conscription, but
that the cabinet would not touch this
until after the elections and then
not "until this league of nations
nonsense has been discussed at the
peace conference,” Premier Lloyd
George declared:
“The cabinet never heard of the
scheme. So far as the cabinet is
concerned, it is purely an expres
sion n < ’ the oninion some general.”
CHURCHILL OFFERS
PARTIAL LEAGUE PLAN
DUNDEE, Scotland, Wednesday.
p Pe . 11.—Colonel Winston Spencer
Churchill, minister of munitions, of
fered what he described as a prac
tical suggestion in regard to a league
of nations during an address here
today. He said that such a league
should ascertain from every country
the extent of its naval, military and
aerial preparations.
“Secret armaments have tn the
past been a great danger,” he said,
“and the course I suggest would re
move one of the causes that led to
this fearful catastrophe.”
DID CHILD WAKE UP
CROSS OR FEVERISH
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated give “California
Syrup of Figs.”
Mother! Your child isn’t naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally,
has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remem
ber, a gentle liver and bowel cleans
ing should always be the first
treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup
of Figs” for children’s ills; give a
teaspoonful, and in a few hours all
the foul waste, sour bile and fer
menting food which is clogged in
the bowels passes out of the sys
tem, and you have a well and play
ful child again. All children love
this harmless, delicious "fruit laxa
tive,” and it never fails to effect a
good "inside" cleansing. Directions
for babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given today saves a sick child
tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your for a bottle of “Cali-
fornia Syrup of figw/’ then look and
see that it is made by the California
Fig Syrup Co.”—(Advt.)

off in expectation of getting cheaper
labor and material is making a busi
ness mistake and may soon find him
self at disadvantage.”
While Wilson painted a picture of
healthy industrial activity in this
country, he admitted that there
I might be some danger of unemploy
j ment because numerous manufac.ur
ers are awaiting lower costs before
resuming peace activities and be
cause others must readjust equip
ment.
Must Resume Public Works
To meet this situation he advocat
ed the immediate resumption ot mu
nicipal, state and federal projects,
held up by the war and the indicat
ing ot other public improvements
which he said were needed to act as
a temporary reservoir for discharged
soldiers.
Other necessary steps for indus
trial reconstruction such as the re
leasing of government control of fi
nancing and of raw materials and
the clearing of all labor data through
a single agency have already been
taken, Wilson said.
The labor department has created
a large central employment clearing
house with branches throughout the
country from which it gets weekly
reports.
The last report showed a labor
shortage in 28 cities, a surplus of
labor in 7 and demand and sup
ply running even in 75 others.
Wilson gave numerous reasons
why the demand for labor will out
run the supply.
Samuel Gompers. president of tl e
American Federation of Labor, will
be one of the first experts called by
the senate education and labor com
mittee in its investigation of prob
lems of industrial welfare.
Senator Kenyon, author of the res
olution authorizing the inquiry, said
today it has the backing of the fed
eration. Kenyon declared congress
must face the fact that "labor no
longer can be satisfied by handouts
from employers.”
Backed by Labor
“We must face the fact that labor
has a right to demand, and is de
manding. its fair and equitable share
in the country’s prosperity,” said
Kenyon. "It doesn’t mean in dollars
alone; the sooner we get away from
thinking in terms of cash alone when
relations of employer and employe
are under consideration, the sooner
we will be able to settle the problem
on its merits.
“If the reform my resolution out
lines does not come by legislation, it
will come by revolution. We must
meet it in a fairminded, intelligent
manner, if we want to avoid Bol
shevism in this country. Bourbon
ism is worse than Bolshevism, for It
is from Bourbonism that Bolshevism
springs. Bourbonism, of course, is
opposed to my resolution.
"The workers of America showed
by the part they took in winning the
war just what their true status Is in
this republic. They are the nation;
they must be conserved. Woe is
ahead for those who lack the vision
to see this, and act accordingly.”

WOMEN WITHOUT JOBS
THREATEN GERMANY
BERLIN, Dec. 11.—(Delayed.)—
Thousands of women, facing starva
tion through the loss of ‘heir war
jobs, are adding to the perils of Bol
shevism in Germany.
The women munitions workers,
who are rapidly being demobilized,
are unable to find employment as
practically all factories are idle
through lack of raw materials. Add
ed to their ranks are other thou
sands who have been engaged in
similar occupations. Some have ob
tained employment on farms but the
great majority face a serious situa
tion. The Spartacus group has sei. -
ed the opportunity to augment their
rank with these women, hoping not
only to obtain their political support
but to influence their men through
them. Twenty-one million women
are said, to bo eligible to vote for
representatives in the national as
sembly. I; was estimated that there
are more than 200,000 illegitimate
children in Germany, as a result of
war conditions.

results produced 11
by Nuxated Iron and its widespread sale (it
being estimated that over three million
people annually are today using it), has
led to the offering of numerous substitutes,
and these physicians say that health offi
cials and doctors everywhere should caution
the public against accepting substitutes In
medicines and they especially warn against
accepting substitutes for Nuxated Iron,
which, instead of being organic iron may
be nothing more than a metallic iron com
pound. which may in some cases produce
more harm than good. The widespread pub
lication of the above information has been
suggested by Dr. James Francis Sullivan,
formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital
(Outdoor Dept-). New York, and the West
chester County Hospital: Dr." Ferdinand
King. New York Physician and Medical
Author and others, so that the public may
)>e informed on this subject and protected
from the use of metallic iron under the de
lusion that it is Nuxated Iron or at least
something as good as Nuxated Iron.
It is surprising how many people suffer
from iron deficiency and do not know it. If
you are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next 'Vke
two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your strength and see how much
you have gained.
Manufacturers’ Note —Nuxated Iron, which
is prescribed and recommended by physi
cians is not a secret remedy, but one which
is well known to drnggists. Unlike the
older inorganic iron products it is easily as
similated, does not Injure the teeth, make
them black nor upset the stomach. The
manufacturers guarantee successful and en
tirely satisfactory results to every purchaser
or they will refund your money. It is dis
