DERINBEl;RC GOT
MONEY FROM
ALLIANCE MEN
100000 Was Turned Over
From National German

This Country, is Evidence
]. Before Senate. q.

Washington, March 11.-More than
100000 collected by the National
German alliance. for the relief of war
sufferers in Germany before the
United States entered the war. reached
the hands of DR.. Bernard Dernburg.
chief German propaganda in this
country at the time, according to
evidence today before a senate COM
mittee holding a hearing on a bill by
Senator King, Of Utah, to revoke the
alliances charter.
J. yTjarks of Baltimore, treasurer Of
the alliance, told the committee that
he turned the money over to Count
bassador to the United States. and
produced checks covering a greater
portion of the vast fund which had
been endorsed over to DR.. Dernberg
by Won Bernstorff.
Dernberg came to the United
States soon after the war began in
1914. and first came prominently into
public notice by his defense of the
sinking Of the Lusitania.
Activity Was Investigated.
His activity finally became the sub-
ject Of an investigation by depart
ment of justice agents.
The result Of that investigation
never was announced, though it's
purpose was known to have been to.
OcpoT111ne WQolner DerQDefS was con-.
nected with German~sabotage in this
country. Soon afterwards he acted
upon a hint of the American govern
ment that his presence here was no
longer desired and requested the state
department to secure a safe conduct
for him. Great Britain at first de-
clined to agree to his return to Ger
many but finally acquiesced.
When asked by Senator Walcott of
Delaware whether n of h money
which Dernberg received was used for
propaganda work, Tjarks said he did
not know that it was, n added that
if It was so used it was misapplied.
He. justified the action Of Won Bern
storff in diverting the money to Dern-
berg on the ground that the latter
was regarded "as the representative
of the German Red Cross"
Money Reached Germany.
Some of the money, the witness
said, reached Germany as was evil
denced by acknowledgements received
by the donors in that country. Some
Of It was also used for war relief in
Turkey, but those checks were not
turned over to Dernberg.
After the United States declared
war, Tjarks said, he sent notices to
the members of the alliance to cease
collecting for the German wal suffer-
ers and to devote their efforts to get
ting money for the American Red
Cross. He received no subscriptions
for that purpose, he said.

Japan holds herself responsible for

Is the peace watched e by jap

What will be the ultimate result Of
Japan's action on the Terauchi decla-
ration of her rights, challenged by the

The inter-allied conference at Paris
left the Mikado's land free to act as

Japan is keenly alive to the great

government that Nippon "does not in

the future reorganization of Russian

Slipshod Bolsheviki a
Shock to Prussians

Simeon strunsky in The New
York Evening Post: 1 was walking
one night in the outskirts Of Brest-
Litovsk when l noticed a familiar
figure leaning against the stone
coping Of the bridge promenade and
gazing sadly into the waters OF the
River Bug. recognized him as one
of the German peace delegates with
whom I happened to be on speaking
terms. / inquired courteously after
his health.
We'll enough in the body" he said,
'but my mind, alas, is giving way.
One more session with these Boil
Bheviki and am done for"
And yet they seem such pleasant
people," 1 said.
Pleasant, yes. But they are I'M
dermining my mental constitution"
he said, pressing his hands YEARLY
to his throbbing temples. II was
born in Prussia. For the space of
eleven years / used to leave home
for school at SAT and return at 1858,
going to bed at 1880. Then in high
school my hours were from 9:15 to
5:25. At the university I regularly
took twenty-five minutes for lunch
and three quarters of an hour for
exercise. My annual expenditures
were 2,545 marks and fifty pfennigs,
as my notebooks balanced at the end
Of the year would show. And thus
it has been throughout my career.
But now the BoIshevik delegates"
he went on, "set a meeting for 10
o'clock and show up at 1880. They
speak two or three at a time. When
we say to them that we ought to
dictate terms because we are the
victors, they say, oh, no, you have
beaten US, but we are the victors.'
When we ask them what they expect
to do in case hostilitles are resumed.
they say they will compel us to cap
ture Petrograd. When we ask how
about their army, they reply cheer
fully that most OF the army has run
away and the rest is starving, and
that consequently they must insist
on our accepting their terms with
out changing a dot. After a couple
of sessions, friend Sinbad, our dele
gates from the central powers are
on the edge Of nervous prostration.
The head Of our mission cannot
write home because he has forgotten
his wife's name, and more than once
he has been overheard calling him
self up on the telephone. / suspect
a nefarious plot, Sinbad. The Boil
sheviki are planning to drive the
leading statesmen Of the central
powers into a Iunatic asylum, and
then they can work their win upon
poor Germany"
