EDITED BY HALE
W. B. Hale Linked With
Viereck, Rumley and Dern-
burg n u. S. Probe.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The speech
of DR.. Derrburg at Cleveland in May
1915, in which he attempted to justify
the sinking of the Lusitania and which
caused his expulsion from the United
States. was prepared by DR.. William
Bayard Hale, self-confessed head OF
the German information service in
America, according to statement
here by Deputy State Attorney Gener-
al Alfred l.. Becker.
Testimony given by a copyreader
for the information service, Mr.. Beck
er declared. was to the effect that the
address was edited and reedited" by
Hale in this city and telegraphed to
Dernburg in Cleveland on the day 1t
was to be delivered.
Another revelation of the attorney
generals inquiry into German propa-
ganda activities before Americas en-
trance into the war, which he is con-
Quoting at the request Of the depart
ment of justice, included testimony OF
DR.. Hale that DR.. Edward A Rumely.

Viereck Letters Made Public.
The attorney generals office also
made public a series of code letters
written to persons in Germany by
George Sylvester Viereck, editor OF
the former pro-German Fatherland,
which since the United States became
a henigerent has been known as Nler-
eck's Weekly. These letters wr in
trrupted before the American declara-
tion of war. Sine that time, accord
ing to Niereck's own admission. he
has sent mail to German through neu-
trail countries. This action, according
TO the authorities, is a violation of the
trading with the enemy act.
The Niereck code letters, some of
which were dated in 1915, apparently
were innocent communications on
family and personal subjects. but ac-
cording TO Mr.. Becker, they contained
information OF political conditions In
this country.
Mr. Becker declined to say whether

ENGLISH STRIKE
WILL CONTINUE,
! LEADERS / CLAIM
Munitions Strikers Liable to
Military Service After Mon
day-Uneesiness Felt.
by Associated Press)

LONDON, July 27.-The announce
ment last, night of Premier Lloyd
George that all workmen absent from
factories on or after Monday will be
deemed to have voluntarily placed
themselves outside the munitions in
dustry and that they will become liza
BILE to military service, was issued too
late to reach; the bulk Of the strikers
last night. Consequently. it was not
generally known in the strike areas.
1t was, however, communicated to
the strike leaders at some centres by
newspaper men to whom the leaders
declared they were confidnt that the
strikers would not be intimidated or
driven to resume work by the govern
ment's threat. The leaders added
that such a possibility had been con-
sidered fully beforehand.
No reports reached London last
night Of an extension of the strike and
the great bulk of the workers still re-
main unaffected. Such important cen
tres as London, Manchester, Leeds,
Nottingham and Huddersfield, for in
stance, remain cool.
Morning newspapers here comment
on the governments announcement
mostly with approval, although they
recognize the decision is grave one,
and contend that it will be generally
endorsed by the country. A certain
uneasiness is manifested by some pa
pers which, while admitting that a
strike at the present time is indefensi-
BILE, think that a settlement might
have been reached by a discussion
and a compromise
The Daily News, which regards the
government decision as the grayest
taken in the history of British in
dustrial disputes, says the responsible
ity Of the results must rest entirely
on the government. 1t adds that it is
difficult to believe that a suspension
OF the embargo for a few days, to en-
able a discussion would have resulted
in such a decrease of output as to
justify the risk of an immediate con-
flict with a large body of labor and
alarming suspicious in a much larger
body.
