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 Today 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 for a little more than onr year’s "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 Captain Lester makes the farther mis-statement ternational News Service, which was barred by been restored to cable privileges.

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.
