may have been "qused by his friendship
with Count Won Bernstorff," replied the
witness.
What was his attitude after the
United States entered the war;" asked
Chairman Oyerman
His attitude continued very ques-
tionable," replied Mr.. Bielaski. MANY
articles published in his papers, if
published after the passage of the
| espionage act, as amended, would have
subjected him to prosecution"
Mr.. Bielaski said all the department
has to indicate that Hearst endeavored
to get any favor, in return for his
support of Germany, Mas his applica-
| ton for his papers to get a special
news service, German agents planned
to send to newspapers in the United
States. William Bayard Hale, Bielaski
said, recommended that the request be
granted because of the opportunity af
| forded for wide circulation of the news.
Senator King of Utah objected to
placing in the record kilograms sent
by Hearst from Palm Beach, Florida,
instructing his editors at New York
| and elsewhere as to editorial policy
saying the messages were irrelevant.
After an executive session, hoWver, the
committee voted to place some of the
kilograms in the record tomorrow.
In the discussion by the committee
of the neutral papers named in
Feuhr's list Senator Nelson remarked:

Activities in this country of Bolc
Pasha, executed recently in France fol
high treason, were touched on briefly
by Mr.. BielaSki, who said Bolo came
here ostensibly to buy print paper
but in reality, to obtain money for tbs
purchase of newspaper in France
Bolo was brought to this country by
a representative of Hearst and was
introduced to Hearst.
There is one fact We have about
Bolo Pasha which has never been pub
lished before" said Mr.. Bielaski. "Tha
is that Pasha was in touch with the
} German embassy here, shortly aftel

TAFT SAYS LEAGUE

Continued from Page one)

dress at the congress on the moral
value of league of nations"
MY feeling" said Mr.. Taft, about
the league of nations, in order to en-
force peace, does not claim any patent
or trademark. We are glad to have
everybody support it. but we object TO
it being held responsible for interna-
tionalism, in the sense that that cult
denies nationalism.
You have got to have a league with
force enough to say to all the smaller
nations: We do not propose to let
you start a conflagration that will
destroy this peace. that we have en-
dured so infinitely much to bring
about
Il say to you, unless such league

the whole thing is failure. l don't

BIC LEAGUE MEETING
To NAME EXECUTIVE

NEW YORK, Dec. with election
of successor to John K. Tener, as
president, and formulation of policies
regarding players and play in 1919, as
the principal scheduled business, Ma
tional league baseball club owners were
gathering here tonight for their annual
meeting, beginning at noon tomorrow
The field of presidential candidates
has narrowed down to John A. Heydler,
present secretary treasurer, and John
Conway Toole, lawyer who at various
times has served as counsel for the
league and the National commission.
Another interesting question has to
do with the standing or Fred Mitchell,
recently elected president of the Chi
cago club. Under the constitution, no
player or manager is permitted to rep
| resent club at a league meeting, and
so far as is known Mitchell still holds
the managers authority. Except by
| unanimous consent, which is not con-
sidered likely, the constitution cannot
be amended at one meeting.
Only Baseball Court

leagues alike, if program agreed upon

League and A. R. Tearney, president
of the Three League, is carried out
President Tearney, who is chairman
OF minor league committee, appointed
to demand several reforms from the
majors, in regard to the draft and
farming of players, said that at his
suggestion joint meeting of commit
tees from the American and National
leagues, and the minor leagues, prob
ably would be held in Chicago in jan

Nitro-starch, more compact than the

by dissolving starch nitric acid In

manufacture, convenience and safety
in use and great explosive power are
mentioned in its favor, and the adj

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
TemperamentaI Mountain Canary Not
Blamed for Planting Hoofs In Back
Of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made mistake
In not knowing whom she was kicking
or 1t was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew Of tobacco,
Fred Wales of Grass Valley, CAL, who
carried his arm in a sling for some
time as the result Of kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner Of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule Is known to every EN-.
ployee Of the mine, $50 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 Of them, they all have
wholesome respect for her in spite of
her contrary disposition. It is a mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, 1t is DIFF
ferent. He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. he excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions Of spoiled child.
1t Is merely a matter Of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians Office he took Of
Tense at suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
viciousness and rushed to her defense.
1T was perhaps my fault; it certain.
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did not
know who it was when she kicked or
had forgotten to give her the usual
chew Of tobacco. am willing to take
all the blame"

A few years later the law became
more stringent still. Philip and Mary

but went so far as to send offenders to
prison. Elizabeth saw that the PEG
pie were reckless with their money,
and caused an act to be passed which
declared that anyone who sold foreign
apparel to persons having less than
$1,000 a year In land or fees, except
for ready money, should forfeit every
penny Of the price.
Ladies wore hoods, hats and caps Of
every conceivable shape They were
careful as to their hair, and they had

collected tone now, and did so. She
got out Of the machine, leaning over to
collect her bundles. Then she gave me
grateful glance.
Il thank you from the bottom Of my
heart" she said. and somehow I longed
to know more Of her, as she vanished
around corner from my view.
I longed to see her far more urgent
ly an hour later. Why, shall have to
explain. I was young lawyer and
was due at the city the next day on my
first test case. OF course I represent
ed my firm, but If l met with success
1t would be a great start in q promis-
ing legal career.
Briefly, the case was this: Adam
Moore, a lifelong client of the firm,
had died, and the week following dis
reputable mining promoter presented
his note for thirty-fve thousand dol
lars, due on demand, for half inter-
est In patent of no value, hawked
around the market unsuccessfully for
some years. The promoter showed
also a signed agreement proving the
deal. This was duly attested by a
stenographer and notary public, Miss
Elsa Deane.
There was no doubt but that Mr..
Moore had held some correspondence
with the promoter, but the daughter
and legatee of Mr.. Moore declared that
upon the day note and agreement were
dated, her father was automobiling
two hundred miles distant and could
not have been in the city on that day.
Further, although the signature was
well counterfeited, it was a forgery.
One contention was that the prom ter,
hearing Of the death Of Mr.. Moore, had
hurriedly set up plot from VIII b he
hoped to reap a rich harvest.
A singular circumstance was that we
had not been able to locate this Miss
Deane. who had given up her position
by telephone the day after the agree
ment was acknowledged.

Most Popular War Cry.

The most popular war cry Is "Hur.
fah" an exclamation Of Indefinite
origin. It is found in various forms in
Swedish and Danish (huFra), German
(hurrah), French (houra), Russian
(ura). Some connect it with such
words a. hurry" "whirl;" the mean
Ing would then be "haste," to encour-
age speed or onset in battle. The
Russian soldiers adopted ''hurrah" In
the War Of Liberation (1812-13), and
since then 1t has become a favorite
battle cry all over Europe. It seems,
however, that the word is pure Sla-
vonian, for 1t Is commonly heard from
the coast Of Dalmatia to Behring strait,
where any Of the Slavic population
within the limits are called on to give
proof Of courage and valor.
