Bernstor6 Is Silent,


New York. Aug 16-Count John Won
| Bernstorf. German Ambassador to the
| United States. who is now in this city
refused today to comment upon the
charge that a regularly paid stafr of
agents is spending vast sums in this
country to spread the pro-German pro-
paganda.
That the German Ambassador may
communicate an explanation of some sort
| to President Wilson and the State De-
partment relative to letters which are
being printed in the newspaper expose Of
the embassy's activities was strongly ru-
mored.
George Sylvester Viereck. editor Of the
Fatherland. which publication figures in
correspondence as getting a subsidy Of
$3.50 a month from the German govern
ment. said he was preparing a statement
which would be made public tomorrow.
George Sylvester Viereck, editor Of
Fatherland, issued statement tonight
concerning the charges that he had
solicited financial aid from DR.. Albert.
the fiscal representative Of Germany, to
incite pro-German sentiment in the
United States.
Mr. Viereck admitted he negotiated
with DR.. Albert. but explained the plan
fell through because of his refusal to
permit DR.. Albert to dictate the policy
OF Fatherland.
One Of the letters which prompted Mr..
Vierecks statement is alleged to have
been written by him to DR.. Albert on June
20. 1915. It reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Albert: In thinking the
matter over. 1 do not think that Mrs. r.
would be the proper intermediary. mas
financial affairs herself. II it must be a
woman. Mrs. G.. the mother of our
friend. Mrs. l.. would be much better"
Without further reference to or ex-
PLANTATION OF these women. the letter con-
tinues:
However. personally I see no reason
why the payment could not be made
every month through Mr.. Meyer. Just like
the other payments. II there is any OBJ
lection TO that l would suggest that the
payments be made to my personal friend
and lawyer. Mr.. Ely Simpson, whose
standing as my legal adviser exempts
him from any possible inquiry.
AS 1 have already received $3.50 this
month. I enclose a statement for $3.50
for June. Will you please o. X. this
and shall then send my secretary for
the cash. l am sending this letter by
boy as for obvious reasons l do not wish
It to go through the mails.
Sincerely yours.
&c. S. vIERECK."
This correspondence was stolen by
British SPIES" said Mr.. Viereck. THE
British have been no respectors of prop
erty at any time.
These publications are only another
effort on the part of friends and propa-
gandists of Great Britain to prevent the
presentation of the truth concerning Ger
many and her cause in the United States
and to intimidate those sincerely trying
to combat British Misrepresentation
Cedarhurst. n. Y. Aug. 16.-None Of
the attaches at the German Embassy
here would answer any questions today
concerning the charges by a New York
that German officials in the
United States are acting with those In
Germany in a widespread propaganda.
No comment will be made by any one
other than the Ambassador" said an
attache OF the embassy.

OF State Lansing said yesterday. He de-

OF the charges now being made in news

Because Of the critical situation that
resulted from the correspondence initi-
ated by the German submarine war
fare and the sinking Of the Lusitania.
the administration Is not anxious to
have irrelevent matter injected into its
relations with Germany at this time.
1t is felt that in the majority Of the
matters complained Of there was no vio-
lation of any existing law.
Secretary Lansing said yesterday thet
he conferred with a. Bruce Bielaski.
chief investigator of the Department
of Justice. on Saturday night. but he
denied specifically that the German sit
uation was touched on.
In all the mass of charges against
German Representatives that have ap-
peared in the public prints recently
there is. according to Washington Of
hcial view. one thing that seems to
stand out clearly. and that is that
there is ground for complaint against
the extra diplomatic activities of the
Kaiser's representatives in this coun-
try.

afternoon. You had better come over
if possible. The baby lived. 1t is the
sweetest little girl. Kitty made me
promise l would take it and bring it
up. Have decided not to put any

that he will meet me at certain

whether it will be convenient for me
to come on that train.

when he gets my telegram.
But, Master Dick, 1 am simply
treating you as you would treat me
under the same circumstances
as you always treat me-and l am ,
going to do this for while and see :,
how it will influence things.
And yet-and yet, what's the use?

thought 1 would call him up by tel
ephone, but did not relish quarreling
at long distance.
1 confess l was annoyed at Dicks
peculiar way of disposing of my
money but have come to the con-
clusion that no husband can quite
understand that a wife's money be-
longs to herself quite as much as his
money belongs to himself.
Sometimes l think in the Utopian
days that may come in the future
woman may always have her income,
either earned or from her own invest
ments. Of this she will pay a part
toward the household expenses
for the children, just as the husband
does. Each shall have certain fixed
charges on his income and each shall
have the disposal of the remainder
without any criticism from the other.
l know that Dick consider that he
gives me the 5000 month that has
been my allowance since we went to
housekeeping. And since l lent him
that $4,000 know he thinks he has
been giving me too much. He says:
eff Margie can save that why should
make her allowance so larger"
He has had 500 a month for his
own expenses and now with the div
idends on our 100000 of paid-up
stock, we will be, as he says, on Easy
street"
The dividends are legally mine, as
the stock was paid for with my money
and the stock is in my name, but if
by any chance Dick hands them over
to me he will consider that he has
given them to me.

money so that it will bring me in 6
per cent, and this 1 intend to rein
