Vienna and Berlin
Papers Quote Hearst's
Attack on u. S. Policy

The Vienna "Neue Freie Presse" of
September % said
"The Lokal-Anzeiger' (Berlin) re-
ports from The Hague the following
news from New York, according to
which Hearst, in The New York Amer
ican,' attacks Wilson and his policy bit
terly, which he calls war policy. He
writes: The reports OF our own officers
say that the Allies will lose the war
unless We send enough war materials.
men and ships to help them win. If we
cannot do that there would be no need
10 recommend the continuance Of the
war TO them. According to the state
ments of our own officers, Germany has
still several million reserves who are
trained. We do not know exactly how
great the reserves in Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey are.
The Entente army in Greece
might as well be at the North Pole
Russia is no longer factor in the war.
The English armies In Mesopotamia
and in Egypt are held easily b. the
Turks and the Bulgarians.
The whole problem can be solved
only by the breaking of the German
West front. Our officers again report
that the five millions Of Anglo-French
troops on the West front are insufficient
for this task. We DO not know how
many men will be necessary for this if
German reserves and troops from the
Eastern front are brought up. But
surely we must send four million men
or twice as many as that as aid to the
Entente.
"'Granted that we could train and
equip all these men and that the L.
boats will not destroy the ships Of the
Entente quicker than We can build them
and that We could change all our trad
ing vessels and coasting vessels for
military purposes, We would still need
FIVE years TO send all the men necessary
TO France. In the mean time the T.
boats are unfortunately not lying still;
they destroy a million tons a month,
much more than all the yards OF the
whole world could build.
LAS long as the U-boat danger is
not put out of the way, any question
OF shipping men across and also ma
terisls is in the air. Things being such,
would il not be better 10 end the war
honorably! Shall we send troops 10
destroy Germany which, perhaps. MAJ
be necessary for the defence Of our own
country"

France Also
Cut Him OFF

Cable service TO the Hearst papers
was cut off by France last November
on much the same sort Of evidence
which was adduced in England. A
statement made by a Frenchman who
speaks with official knowledge says:
ave had proof time and again that
cables sent by Hearst's Paris CORE
spondent were distorted, garbled and
mutilated on their receipt in New York.
They were distorted 10 suit Mr..
Hearsts pro German policy. Time and
again the censor who had passed the
cablegrams would bring to our atten-
ton instance after instance of the doc
toring of cablegrams after they reached
New York. and would show the original
cablegram and the distorted pro-Ger-
man transcript as il appeared in The
New York American. Finally, the cor
respondent was summoned by the au-
thorities and informed: You may send
one more cable TO the Hearst papers
TO notify them that il will be the last
they are permitted to receive from
France.
Subsequently Hearst arranged deal
with the Agence Radio, of France, for
a service of matter TO be sent daily to
the International News Service, but
this was In operation only fortnight
when the French government put a
stop to 1t.
Expelled from England and her col
onies, shut out Of France, Hearst now
made desperate attempts to secure
special footing for his service in Ger
many. European news he must obtain
in some way. He could not fake all Of
it. So, by way of ingratiating himself
with the Germans. he had one of his
men send by wireless TO Berlin the
text Of his editorial on the British
censorship and the expulsion OF the
Hearst service. At about the same
time October 10, 1915 his CORE
spondent in Berlin, DR.. William Bay
ard Hale, sent a dispatch to the Hearst
papers which was, in effect, a pesn OF
German triumph, presumably with the
object of further ingratiating Mr.
Hearst with the German government,
whose purposes he had already sub
served so sedulously. The basis Of
/ the message WAS the rumor that
/ Gerard was to bear peace overtures
; from the Kaiser. This Hale denied.

as suing for peace"

Trying to Fix the
international in Germany

Shortly after this Hearst dictated
messages to Hale in what appears 20
be an effort TO place" the Interna-
tionsl News Service in Germany, and
to arrange a special transoceanic SER
vice from Germany via Nauen, on the
plea that London had cut off all his
transmitted service. In one of these
he expatiates upon the extent and
merits Of the Hearst organization,
making the modest claim that through
his various journalistic and motion
picture services undoubtedly at least
three quarters of the people OF this
country are directly reached!
1t is interesting to observe that on
the list Of his International News Ser
vice staff in New York appear these
German names: George Viburg, Alex
ander Fuehr and Emil Klsessig. Fuehr

Hale Urged to Bring
Peace Home

So. while the whole world was wait
ing, Hearst attached himself to q
wireless and had this message sent
from The New York American:
"Feb. 10, 1917.-Bayard Hale, Berlin:
"Mr. Hearst urges bring peace state
ment from Kaiser or Hollweg. Might
solve whole situation. Americans were
getting friendly to Germany. and Pres
ident was wishing for the peace that
Americans and Germans desired. Ger
man note, especially the two interpo-
lated paragraphs. upset everything. Still
President and country hope for peace.

time might completely restore good
will"
Was ever before as colossal an ex-
ample Of sheer impudence? At any
ordinary time it would be merely
laughable. this assumption on the part
OF Hearst. the pro-Germsn, fake pact

statement that Americans were get
ting friendly to Germany! A curious
friendliness, with the Sussex sinking
still unadjusted, the Presidents mes
sage definitely rejecting Germany's
fraudulent peace suggestions still
fresh in the minds OF the people, and
the public becoming daily more en-
FILTERED against the German policy.
All this Mr.. Hearst knew well. But.
in the hope of securing an exclusive
statement for his papers, he did what
those papers so frequently do. He
manufactured news.
Fortunately the whole dangerous az
fair came 10 naught. With unparal-
leled ingratitude the Kaiser ignored
his American supporter. In time Hale
wes recalled. War was declared and
Hearst's slender communication with
his adaptive Fstherlsnd was cut off.

character and activities Of william
Bayard Hale.
With the Assistance
Of Dr.. Hale

VI Or. ffale
DR.. Hale, as he calls himself. is an
ox-clcrgyman who left the ministry
under deplorablc circumstances. As
President wilson's representative IN
Me1ico-a most incxplicablc and un-
fortunate choice which amazed some OF
the Presidents most devoted adherens
he enjoyed no small prestige. Since
then he has been working for Hearst and
the Germans; for Hearst openly, for the
Germans, through the American Embar-
90 Conference. The Providence Jour
nails repeated charges that he was en-
ployed at large salary by the German
Embassy on propaganda work, and that
he had issued his publications from
the German Press Bureau in the Ham
burg American Line Offices in New
York. before that organizations activ-
tiles were checked by the arrest and
conviction Of several Of its officers,
have never been denied. More recently
Hale has been involved by mention In
one Of the Won Bernstorh plot
cables as being useful to the German
cause, and is also under suspicion IN
connection with Bolo Pacha.
1t was wholly appropriate that Hale,
with his unsavory record, should have
been appointed Hearst's Berlin CORE
spondent. He was sending strongly
pro- German matter to the Hearst pa
pers. I'D to the early part of 1917. And
in February Of this year Hearst sent
a message to him, herewith first made
public.
The last day Of January had seen the
famous German note repudiating the
U-boat pledge and declaring ruthless
submarine warfare. Three days later
Won Bernstorff received his passports.
Here was a time Of national crisis
never surpassed in the history of the
country. For good and loyal citizens,
the way of duty and patriotism was
plain: TO stand behind the Administra-
ton, and to leave to the constituted
authorities the infinitely delicate ques-
ton as TO what course the government
should pursue. Some hundred million
American citizens did this, whole
heartedly. One did not. William Ram
dolph Hearst undertook upon his own
invitation TO set his unskilled hand to
the mechanism of state. With a mon
strous and infantile egotism, he con-
ceivcd himself TO be specially appointed
OF providence to turn the nation safely
from war to peace, through the me-
dunn Of his newspapers and with the
assistance of the German Emperor. He
could not trust the President in this
crisis; the President Of whom his
American had said editorially: "Mr.
Wilson seems to be conducting this
government in the interest Of the Eng
li.h, and not in the interest Of Amer
leans" So he decided 20 take matters
into his OWE hands. and, with Hale FOR
his agent. arrange it with the Kaiser.
Incidentally, this would mean some ad-
vertising for Hearst and his news
papers. And Hearst is not averse TO
self-exploitation OF this kind.

WHO'S Who Against America,

He undertook to pledge himself that
no such incident would happen again.
Doubtless he meant it. But man who
works for William Randolph Hearst
takes desperate risks when he pledges
his honor, as was presently to appear
to the too sanguine manager
Later the matter was brought UP IN
the House OF Commons in the form OF
a question put to the Home Secretary
in reply to which Mr.. Samuels said'
"There were several cases at the time
Of the disturbances in Ireland at the

pearing In The New York American

respondent OF the International News
Service, bore no likeness TO the cable

Instances gave information which WAS
the opposite Of that which had been
sent to the press
He added that the London represen-
tstive Of the agency had given assur-
ances that no such manipulation OF his
messages should occur again.
All Of this Mr. Hearst can readily
verify: the taking up" Of the reports
the lacking on of the fake London date
line, the confession Of his New YORK
manager and the promise OF his Lon

will he still maintain that the British
