Won Rhreitbaher and Matuschka.
Martin, who is known as an
American, has been living in Berlin
since the outbreak of the war and
is the founder of the League of
Truth" Posing as-~an American,
Martin on July 4, 1915, placed a
wreath with which was an Ameri-
can flag bordered in black, on the
statue of Frederick the Great,
James w. Gerard, the American
ambassador at that time. compelled
the authorities to remove the wreath
by threatening to remove it himself
if his request was not complied with.
Admits He Is German.
Later Martin was compelled to ad-
nit that he was a German subject.
He allied himself with the German
annexationists and proved a con-
slant source of embarrassment to
the German foreign Office, which
tried to suppress him, but was
blocked by his pan-German military
protectors.
Won Rheitbaher is a cousin of
Baron Rheinbaben Baden, who was
connected with the Christiania bomb

MAKES DEFENSE
OF WAR RECORD
Nebraskan Tells Senate He
Passed from PeacefuIness
to WarIikeness as US.
Situation Changed.

Washington, Dec. l0.-Senatoi
Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman oil
the foreign relations committee, ad.
dressed the senate today in regard
to the mention of his name among
advocates of munitions embargo
in documents produced before the
senate judiciary committees Ger.
man propaganda inquiry. He said
he had no disposition to criticize
the placing of all German documents
IN the record, but that it was evident
that the Germans had used the
names of many public men reckless
y, It not falsely. the climax of alb
surdity being reached when they
recorded Prof. Albert Bushnell
Hart of Harvard as willing to CO.
operate with them. =
In 1914. Senator Hitchcock said,
he proposed a munitions embargo
bill as measure for strict Ameri-
can neutrality. Later, he declared,
German propaganda and criminal
acts in this country and atrocities
abroad caused him to change his at
titude. "
From Phase to Phase.
Like other Americans" said the
senator, II have passed from one
phase of the situation to another
peaceful neutrality, armed neutral
lty, wal"
Referring to the letter of a Ger
man agent dated July p, 1915, say
ing Senator Hitchcock seemed
strong" for the embargo movement
and had said it would sweep the
United States" Mr.. Hitchcock
pointed out that he had introduced
bill for a munitions embargo
more than eight months before ard
had made a speech in the senate in
the bills behalf. On February II,
1915. the measure was rejected. 81
to Sc. as an'amendment to the ship
ping bill.
Attitude Changed.
my stand was taken in 1914 as
an American for neutrality. The
Germans in America took theirs by
forming the embargo conference in
1915 as partisans of Germany. They
were supporting my bill, but l de-
clined to 60 to their conferences.
conventions or meetings, though |
was often invited to appear as a
speaker. I made my only speeches
here in the Senate or in defending
my course later before my constitu-,
ents.
my attitude naturally changed
with changing conditions.
II stood first for a strict peaceful
md impartial neutrality, even to the
extent of selling no arms and ammu-
milton and lending no money to
either side.
Finally Ready to Fight.
"Next. when Germany began a
systematic attack on our commerce,
l was ready to fight to protect our
neutrality.
Il supported the presidents re-
quest that we authorize him to as
sert and protect our neutrality by
arming our merchant ships and I
had charge in the senate of what
was known as the armed neutrality
resolution, which died so dramatic
ally here in the senate at noon on
! March 4, 1917.
"A month later, when the issue
changed from armed neutrality to
war, I had charge of the declara-
ton Of war, which was briefly de-
bated and passed by the senate,
