ter. Later he was bailed.
Lawrence stated that he entered the
employ of DIR. Samuel J. Mixter the day
before as chauffeur, and had started
from his home in the machine to go to
Marblehead. At Beacon and Park
streets he saw a man cross the street.
This corner is particularly dark, and
Lawrence thought the man had gained
the other side. A second or two later
he thought he heard something knock
ing under the car and. alighting. he
found the man underneath, with his
foot caught in the brake rod.
The police estimated that Mr. Nc
Geongh must have been carried at
least 50 feet When Lawrence got the
body free he hurried to Coolidge cor
| ner and picked up DR.. Arthur A. Cush
ing and Patrolmen killion and Maio-
ney. When DIR, Gushing arrived he

VAST PROPAGANDA ENDED WHEN BERNSTORFF LEFT

FORMER GERMAN AMBASSADOR "WORKED" AMERICAN NEWSPA.
PERs UNBELIEVABLE TENT Observation-Disclosures
AND CUNNNGLY INFLUE REPORTS, FORCING
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-03-30

Ambassador Won Bernstorff's de-
parture, following the breaking off of
relations with Germany, put an end
to the most amazing propaganda
against the policy of the United States
ever carried on by any foreign diplO-
mat accredited to this government,
says an observer of events at the ma
tional capital. The story is told Of
how for two and a half years the Ger
man ambassador-secretl and cum
ningly-influenced tho press associa-
tions and newspapers of this country
to an extent which is we'll night in
credible.
Bernstorff was a master craftsman,
and in his relations with the newspa-
per men in Washington he was far
more skillful than any other diplomat
has been. Through them he
worked" the American people and
managed to Offset whatever views or
Information the state department was
trying to get before the public.
Forced Governments Hand.
He gave to the many newspaper
men news that he got from his own
government before it reached the
state department; he gave away news
that he got from the state department
before the state department iself gave
! it out. With infinite skill he used
many American newspaper men to
force the hands of their own state de-
partment and obtain publication Of
news which it was against the policy
and interest of the United States to
make public.
He shamefully lied to some news
paper men in order to create friction
between the state department and the
Entente embassies, and even succeed
ed in obtaining the publication as
coming from the state department,
and even from the Entente embassies,
of news stories fabricated out of the
whole cloth to serve Germany's inter
ests and bedevil public opinion in the
United States.
The German ambassadors activities
reveal to what an extent Bernstorf's
modern diplomacy" violated the
privileges and abused the immuni-
ties conferred by international law
on representatives Of foreign nations;
they show how long suffering the
United States has really been. But
for President Wilson's determination
to keep this country out Of war &c
long as it was humanity possible &c
to do, and do nothing that would In
crease the growing tension between
Germany and the United States, Am
bassador Won Bernstorff would have
been given his passports more than
q year ago.

]. S. MAY EMPLOY
|NTERNED GERMANS
GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS WAYS
OF HANDLING KAlSER'S SUB.
ECTS If WAR COMES.

At the suggestion of the admins
tration, the interior department is
giving consideration to the idea of
placing a large number of interned
Germans on government reclamation
projects in the West, in the event
congress declares a state of war ex-
lists between the two governments,
according to a Washington dispatch
this week.
No definite plan has been worked
out, but from preliminary study
given the subject officials regard the
project as entirely feasible and one
that would work great permanent
benefit to the United States, besides
affording a practicable means of car
ing for those German subjects who in
time of war must necessarily be in
termed by this government.
Payment Of Wages Favored.
The idea meeting with most favor
just now is to adopt, in the main, the
Canadian plan of requiring all Ger
man residents to register and en-
ploying those who may be interned
in construction camps. providing
Quarters, clothing and rations and
paying them wages equal to those
paid to soldiers in the army. This
would permit a graduation Of COM
pensation, according to the ability OF
the individual, and would call for
wages ranging from about 81 to SIS
per month.
The adoption of this scheme, it is
pointed out, would enable the gov
eminent, at a minimum expense and
at a much less cost than 1t must pay
today, to build a great many new
projects in the West, which other
wise must wait an indefinite time.
Such a plan, of course, would call for
an appropriation by congress, but
that would have to be made in any
event to care for all German subjects
who may be interned.
| Drainage Projects, Too.
If the informed foreign subjects
are not employed on reclamation
works, they would in all probability
be employed on some other public
works. Coupled with the proposal to
put them ON reclamation projects is
to let them work also on various
drainage projects which have never
yet been authorized by congress.
This policy would provide means
whereby German subjects could be
interned at points some distance
from the coast, remote from coast
defenses and Notifications and also
remote from large cities. A compar-
atively small guard would be re-
quired to patrol these internment
camps. it is believed, and that would
be supplied by the war department,
which also has been approached on
the subjBct.

;2,Gls,4S0 ADDED
TO STATE EXPENSES
LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATIONS
FOR COMING BIENNIUM
MUCH HIGHER.

According to figures compiled by
the state bureau Of inspection. the
legislature Of 1917 appropriated a
net total Of $24.795,353.35, or 3d.
914,480.59 more than the total of
$22.176.s72.76 appropriated for all
state purposes in 1915. The total
amount appropriated in 1917 was
$24,855,8O3.36, from which the gov
ernor cut $60,45O by vetoes. Of which
10000 came out Of the general fund
and $3.50 from the military fund.
The general fund vetoes left q
total Of $7.3ss,503.ss available in
that department Of state finance as
compared to $e.sS6,551.93 two years
ago, an increase Of $502.s61.ss. The
state highway funds carry $7,054.-
$3.50 for this biennium compared
to $e.2so,1ee.s4 in 1915. due to the
addition Of federal aid funds this
year for rural post road and forest
reserve highway improvement. Mil
itary fund appropriations this year
afford $6ss,621.43 for the coming
biennium, compared to $270.02l.06
of 1915.
No reliable figures have been COM
piled on the consequent increase in
tax levy for state purposes. but ap-
proximately speaking the increase of
half a million dollars in the general
fund appropriation for 1917 means
one-half a mill increase for that pur-
pose. Another half mill is added for
the state capitol building fund, which
is later to be repaid from sales OF
state capitol granted timber lands.
The levy for higher education was
increased half mill and the military
levy one-tenth of mill.
This makes a total of one and six
teenths mills increase in the coming
levy. without figuring the incidentals.
which may affect the total either way.
Highway taxation rates were left un-
altered by the last legislature and
such funds as the fish and game and
industrial insurance finances como
from the industries interested and
not from the individual taxpayers. A
levy of one mill on accepted state
property valuation means the return
Of 100000 in revenue.
