Senator Sterling read number of
other editorials from the American
and asked the Army officers opinion
of them. Capt. Lester replied:
THE editorial policy of all the
Hearst publications, so far as it was
formed on information furnished by
William Bayard Hale in Germany,
acting for the Hearst papers, was
made and formed in Germany, intend
cd and designed to be spread through
Hearst publications in this country
and sent out by Hale under control
OF the German government
The trip of William Bayard Hale to
Rumania in 1916 was referred to by,
the witness. who recalled that last
July L. D. Edwards, secretary to Hale,
made statement to Army intelli-
gence officials in New York that the
trip was paid for by the German for
eign office.

Evidence Against Frame-Up.
Another message from Hale to the
New York American, which was not
read, Informed the Hearst paper that
the disclosures made by the expose
of the Zimm ermann note that Germany
planned an intrigue against the
United States through Mexico, by
which the latter country would be
given territory from the United States,
was regarded in Germany as a fail
ure on the part of Zimmerman.
This shows that Germany did not
regard the Zimmerman note as a
frame-up by the British" Capt Les
ter said.
Maj. +. Lowry Humes acting as the
committees representative, read into
the Record excerpts from the bylaws
of the German University League,
shown by other witnesses to have
been used as an agency for spreading
propaganda by Count Won Bernstorff,
the former German ambassador. The
bylaws showed the purpose was to
strengthen the regard for Germany

Compilation by Ford Attorneys.
Waymuth Kirklan. a representative
of the Chicago Tribune, was before
the committee to explain the compila-
ton of excerpts from editorials APP
pearing in the Tribune before the
United States went to war with Ger
many.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota request
ed several days ago that some of the
excerpts be placed in the record. but
that has not yet been done.~A1r. Kirk
Ian said the compilation was by attor-
neys representing Henry Ford, the De-
troit manufacturer, who has suit
Ipending against the Tribune and that
the apparent purpose was that the
| compilation would reach prospective
jurors. Mr.. Kirklan did not object to
it's being made a part of the Record,
but said he desired the committee to
know by whom it was compiled.
The committee adjourned until 1890
o'clock Tuesday morning. when it
plans to hear Alfred Becker. deputy

Divergencies Are Striking.

When it comes to discrepancies in
government pay for similar work the
Emergencies are striking. y carpen-
ter working for the Post Office De-
partment gets $1.400; if he works for
half a dozen other departments he
receives $1,000, while the Library of
Congress. the Department of Com
merce and the Interior pay but $500.
The Treasury pays as low as $40.
Electricians pay ranges from S72O
to $500, though in the case of the
$500 men certain additional knowl-
edge is required. This fact, however.
does not explain all the discrepancies.
The food administration paid $1,S00
for one elevator conductor when the
survey was made. $3.50 for two. $500
for two more and 500 for three 9TH
ers. Among other departments and
bureaus the pay scale ranges between
S12o0 and $3.50.
For the factor of living cost SO far
as food was concerned the department
took the monthly price lists and COM
parisons of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics which are published from time
to time.
Though no survey was made for ris-
ing prices for clothing. furniture and
furnishings. housing, fuel and llsht
and miscellaneous expenditures, the
