had formed the conclusion that it would not have been to the best in- terests of civilization for Germany to have won the war.
 MT. Untermyer explained his nego- tiations in 1916 with pr. Heinnerich F. Albert, paymaster of the German prop agandists. for the purchase or the New York Evening Sun and Morning Sun and said that they were made with full knowledge that Albert was at tacled to the German embassy. Hs said the transaction was to be a ous- fness one and that 1t made no dlf Q erence to him then whether Albert se- cured the money from Berlin so long as control of the paper remained with himself and his associates.
 FRIEND TO DERNBURG
 The witness told of his freindship with Dr. Bernard Dernburg, who lett the United States at the request or President Wilson because of his pubic speeches in defense of the sinking or the Lusitania. He said he did not be- lieve Dernburg really believed all ne Said about the Lusitania, and that he did not believe Dernburg approved Germany's submarine warfare.
 During the hearing today, the com mittee received a letter from Brad ford Merrill. editor or the New York American, saying that Edward Lyeil Fox was not employed by the Hearst newspapers and that there was no record that Marshall Kelly had been employed by those publications Fox s name frequently has been mentioned al the investigation in connection with Ger man propaganda, while Kelly was said to have been sent to Baltimore by German agents to attempt to negotiate for the purchase of the Baltimore Sun.
 After receipt of the letter, Capt George B. Lester, of the army intelli- gence service, who had mentioned the names of Fox and Kelly in his testi- mony last week, was recalled. He read into the record credentials which, he said, were given Fox when the corres- pondent went to Germany and which showed he was connected with the Hearst office there. Captain Lester said that the information he gave the committee about Kelly was obtained from the confession of former CO., worker of Albert and Dr. Karl Fuehr, another German agent.

GAYETY COMEDIAN
DESCRIBES LONDON

London today IL a city OF travail
and sorrow. Every sble-bodied man
is in the military service. and the
zenith OF England's manpower has
been reached and passed. There is an
appalling shortage OF commodities in
the English capital.
This Is the message brought back
to America b. Lew Kelly. of the Beh-
man show, PLAYING the Gayety Theater
this week. Kelly has just returned
from London. where he starred in
Here and There" an English revue,
at the Empire Theater.
In Dozen Air Raids.

Its horrors were review ed by Kelly

busy London street which had been
stricken down by a daylight raider.
All London is now accustomed to the
raids, according to the Gsyety star.
but everybody takes a cover upon
the slightest warning Of the approach
OF ;he air terTOrs.
All Men In Army.
Kelly thinks that England has
reached and passed the zenith OF her
man-power. On London's streets to-
day no active man OF military age Is
seen unless he Is in a uniform. In
the theater the actors are compelled
to wear large buttons on coat lapels.
tcstifying they are exempt from serv-
ice or have been discharged.
On one occasion en- actor in the
show Here and There" in which
Kelly had the leading comedian part,
forgot his button. So loud were the
Kisses from the audience that he ran
back for II.
Even Matches Are Scarce.
when you strike a match in oLn-
don you hear fifty people calling for
you TO hold It," said Kelly. This Is
Illustrative Of the scarcity OF almost
every commodity. Food cards were

4 MILLIONS WILL
Be IN ARMS BY
FIRST OF YEAR
Germany to be Kept Guessing
in Future About American
War Strength Abroad.

WASHINGTON, ID, c.. July 12-
When the last of the July draft contin-
gent moves to camp late this month
the United States will have more than
100000 men under arms in its army
and navy forces. And if the move
ment of men to camps progresses &C
cording to schedule for the remain
ing five months of the year, there will
be a force of 1000, 900 under arms be-
fore the close of 1918.
These figures include army, navy
and marine forces.
Secretary Baker has announced
there are more than 100000 Ameri-
can soldiers abroad. Secretary Daniels
has not announced what proportion Of
the 100000 men in the naval forces is
abroad, but ii is fair to assume that
more than half the total is in foreign
service, giving the United States an
armed force Of approximately mil
lion and a quarter abroad at the be-
ginning of the second quarter of the
second year of American participation
in the war.
From now on II is probable there
will be less information given out as
to embarkation of American troops
for France. Secretary Baker kept
his promise to tell the public about
troop movements. when there was a
"round number" to announce abroad,
when he gave the news that the mil.
lion mark had been crossed.
There is authority for the state
ment that the Germans will be kept
guessing" about American strength
in the future. 1t is believed announce
ments already made have served the
purpose of proving that the submarine
has been dismal failure in prevent
ing American participation on a large
scale in the western front fighting.

news OF U, s. TROOPS
KEPT FROM GERMANS
(By Associated PreSsD

| GENEVA, Switzerland, Thursday,
! July 11-The military critic of the
Tribune De Geneva says he recently
met a high German officer who de-
clared that although the German
newspapers had been prohibited from
mentioning American military matters
except the taking Of prisoners, the
American invasion of Europe and the
great aid being rendered by the
Americans to the entente allies is
causing much anxiety at German i'm
perial headquarters.
The people cannot understand, the
German officer said. why the success
full German submarine warfare an
nounced by the reichstag, is unable
to prevent a million Americans land
ing in France. The Germans, he de-
clared, are learning the truth only
through foreign newspapers.
