Edward Lyell Fox,
Correspondent, Never
Employed by Hearst
is Upon Which
Hale Was Employed
T HE NEW YORK AMERICAN never knew or suspected, or had any
reason to suspect that Mr. William Bayard Hale lnd.any relations
whatsoever with the Herman Government or with tho German Am
bassador, when ha was sent to Berlin as a special correspondent This
fact was made specifically clear by A. Bruce BietaskI before tbe Senate
investigating committee when he testified that Government Inquiry bad
developed that “Dr. Hale was on the German Embassy pay roll at $15,000'
a year, and also received $300 a week as a writer for the Hearst papers.
“Mr. Hearst did not know Dr. Halo was in the pay ot the German
Government," Mr. Blelaskl went on, and aubstantlated his statement by
producing documents, secured by the United States Government showing
that the German Ambassador had reported the secret arrangement with
Dr. Hale to hie Government and had drawn the particular attention ot.
tbe Berlin official to tho fact that Mr. Hearst was ignorant ot tho aocaet
contract with,Dr. Hale.
It was well' known that he had been special confidential agent of
President Wilson In Mexico, that ho had traveled much In Germany and
In 1908 had written an Interview with the Kaiser for Tbe Century Mag-
axlne, which attracted world-wide attention at the time.
-He was- selected by Tho American to go to Germany solely because
he had been distinguished by the United States Government by an Im
portant diplomatic mission and because bla known previous-experience
and acquaintance In Germany seemed to fit him for the task, Tbe agree
ment made with him by The* American was for his exclusive services.
The letter of credentials given to Mr. Hale bf The New York Amer
ican -when he was sent to Berlin stated that he was "solely to act aa
correspondent In Oermany and Austria ot The New York American,”
“New York, May 30, 1911.
“Publisher's Office of The New York American.
“To All Civil and Military Authorities:
“Dr. William Bayard Hale, of New York, bearer of this tetter,
goes to Berlin solely to act at correspondent In Germany and Austria
of The New York American and Mr. Hearst's dally newspapers in
Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los.Angeles and Atlanta.
“Dr. Hals's ample training'se editor and European correspond-
ent, hie experience aa Preeident Wilson's special agent In Mexico
and upon other official errands, his high character, Integrity and
ability, will commend him to you, and we shall be grateful for any
facilities, granted to him In tho discharge of hie very Important er-
rand, which Is solely that of a neutral correspondent.
(Signed) * NEW YORK AMERICAN,”.'
Dr. Halo's employment began May 37, 11)16, the day, before hie de
parture for Borlln, when he was paid five weeks' salary la advance,
$1,000, with a draft tor 5.000 marks and $200 in gold for traveling Inci
dental expenses to Berlin. ,
Dr. Halo was supposed to have no other work, obligation or Interest
whatsoever except bis duties ae a news correspondent. All his expenses
were paid by The American while he was In Europe, In addition to his
salary, which at first was $200 a week and later advanced to $300 a
week. , ■*
His employment continued until Ills rec-in to America, after the
Unltod States entered the war, when It ceased. Mr. Hale received as
salary and expenses from The American in that period, a little more
than a your, $14,300 salary and $21,788 for expenses. The total pay
ments to Mr. Hale during hie employment by The American, fltty-nlne
weeks, were therefore $35,388.03. His expenses, nearly $400 a week,
ln^addltion to his salary, were due to the traveling, couriers and assist
ants of a correspondent covering a large theater of the war.
Mr. Hale succeeded ae a news correspondent of the Hearat papers
at Berlin the moBt eminent of war correspondents, the late Junes Creel-
man, who died at his post

Hale and Purple Cow.
By Arthur Brisbane
"I navor saw a purple cow, I nev
er hope -to nee on*," thus sang ths
poet.
This writer never saw WlUlam
Bayard Hale and may never eee
him, hut can answer the question,
"How did ttft'-.Heant newspapers
happen to pick out William Bayard
Hale as a correspondent?"
Anybody with a high opinion of
Woodrow Wilson's literary Judg
ment might have selected Mr. Hale.
For in Mr. Wilson's hook, "The .
New Freedom." than Is a preface
signed Woodrow Wilson, and the
first paragraph ot that preface
reads:
I have not written e book since
the campaign. . I did not write
this book at all. It la tho result
of the editorial, literary skill of
Mr. William Bayard Hals, who
has put togsthsr hors In their
right sequence* the mors sugges
tive portions of my qampelgn
speeches.
Woodrow Wilson selected Halnto
work for him, and praised hhrekTU,
What the Preeident paid Mr. Hale
this writer doesn't know.
But William Randolph
who hired Mr.' Hole, os he
hired hundreds ot others, big and
little, paid him mors than $35,000

"Fighting Bob" Evans, of ths
United States navy, sot doBn by
EDWARD LYELL FOX. mentioned in the testimony ot Cap
tain G. B. Lester, before the Senate committee investigating Ger
man propaganda as having been attached to the Hearst Newspaper
headquarters in Germany, was never employed by The New York
American or by the International News Service.
Mr. Fox was sent to Germany in 1S15 by Edwin Wildman,
head of a newspaper and magazine syndicate in New York, which
then fnmislied articles to many newspapers throughout the aoun-
try.
The New York American published, in the autumn of 1915,
sevefal .artitiea written by Mr. Fox and coyprighted by the WBd-
mun syndicate and so marked and pnbliahed in the paper, Tbspe
articles described the invasion of East Prussia by the Russian army.
• No eredbntials were given to Mr. Fox by. The New York Amer
ican, except an introduction to the London and the Hague corres
pondents of The American us ‘ttlic correspondent of the Wildman
syndicate.” He was not known to The American in any other
way.
In January, 1916, The American learned that the German Em
bassy had suggested to the German Foreign Office that Mr. Fox’i
expenses be paid while he was traveling in Germany.
The American after that refused to publish Mr. Fox’s cor
respondence without, of course, passing upon the question whether
his honor and integrity were involved in the suggestion made,-*"
the German Government, as it had no facts upon which to base \
opinion. -But it is ^he invariable rule of The New York Amft
iean that all its correspondents shall pay their own expenses, abfl),
be under obligations to no one except The American, and shall en
ter into no relation that would impair the impartiality of tbeir
service or their duty to The American. FOR THAT REASON
THE WILDMAN CORRESPONDENCE BY MR. POX. WAS
DROPPED MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE THE UNITED
STATES ENTERED THE WAR.
The American has since been informed that Mr. Pox entered
the United States army and obtained a commission. ,
A number of other statements by Captain Lester are absolutely
false, and he is apparently committing perjury if his testimony
has been taken under oath.
No representative of the Hearst organization was ever sent to
Baltimore to try to buy The Sun.
No Marshall Kelly was ever identified'with The Chicago Her
ald and Examiner in any way that any editor of The Chicago JS^f-
ald and Examiner can remember. Certainly no such man was ever
sent to take charge of The Evening Wisconsin. - i

SPECIAL OFFERING DATE FOR
WESLEY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Snaday, Dec. 22 ColUctios by Math,
odists o( the State to bo Sot Aside
as Charity Work Feed.
Atlanta, Ga.y Doc Sunday th*
22nd hist, has ben set aside as ths
day for an offering by the Methodist
of Georgia for the charity work of
Wesley Memorial Hospital. On that
day offerings will be made in tho
Methodist churches to tho fund that
is used in paying part of the cost
incurred in taldng care of patients
who am treated at ths Waslay Mem
orial Hospital and who am unable to
pay for the services rendered. The
cost of such work done each year is
far in excess of the amount contrib
uted by the churches of the state . for
Patients mm admitted'to the hls-
pital from all p.rts of the state upon
certificates from ho attending physi
cian and from t! r pastor of tho Meth
odist church in th* community or, if
tho pastor of th- Methodist church is
not familiar with ths circumstances,
from somt other pastor, stating that
ths applicant is unable to pay his or
her expenses. This protects the hos
pital and insures careful expenditure
of the money entrusted to it for char
ity work.
The hospital closed its fiscal year
October Slit,-having admitted during
that year the largest number of pa
tients of any year during its history.
As the hospital is the property of
the Georgia Conference of tho Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, these
most interested in its sueceif are de
sirous that the members of that de
nomination throughout tho state will
on tho data indicated, show their in
ternet in Hies iek and suffering poor
by contributing to the fund which win
enable the Hospital-to minister to
them.
