Most of the evidence relat- cd to activity of Teutonic agents be. fore the United States entered the war
 Captain Lester declared that an un. named informant. now interned. told flm that the Berlin government, on July l4 l214. nearly a month beforJ the war started, called into confer ence about l5l trained and educated German proDagandists and sent them to all parts of the world with instruc., tions to prepare for the world .,SSar which they We're told was about to be precipitated

 William Bayard Hale writer for the Hearst newspapers, and formerly l confidential representative of Presi' dent Wilson in Mexico, eventually be- came head of the publicity branch of the organization thus built up Cap. tain Lester said, The officer also tes tifled that newspapers and writers were influenced to promote German propaganda. film plays were produced promoting dstrust of Japan and Mex. ico. a Washington newspaper man was hired to report government seJ crets to German headquarters, wri,- CTS were sent to Germany to send hack dispatches praising tue German cause, and a golden book" was circu lated throughout the United States to get sisnatures of American citizens leaning toward proGorman sym- pathies.

 Captain Lester, continuing his testi-l mony tomorrow, expects to tell how the German agents tried to stir upl revolt among American negroes to serve German purposes.
