AMERICAN MILLION
FOR HUN PROP AGANDA
Cash Raised Here for Relief Of
German Sufferers Diverted
by BernstorH to War Work.

New York Autg ia large pro-
portion OF the millions Of dollars which,
prior TO the entrance of the United States
into the war, was contributed by Germa
Americans, and IN many instances, by
Americans without the hyphcn, in the
belief that the money was going TO the
relief of German widows and orphans
and to the German Red Cross, was used
by the German Ambassador, Count
Won BernstorH, for the promotion OF
German propaganda, according to
statement made yesterday by Deputy
Attorney General Alfred L. Becker.
II further developed that proof has
been obtained by Mr.. Becker's Office
that as far back as 1909 the plans were
being formed for an information bureau
in the United States in the event Of war,
that some Of the agents were selected
Mt that time. Proof has been obtained
that at least year before the war Ger
many had well developed plan for a
worldwide propaganda campaign.
Regarding the use of the German
funds raised in this country, Mr.. Becker s
statement said:
Several large funds were raised by
Germans in this country-for instance,
the Red Cross fund, the German Bazaar
and the Iron Cross Fund. Contributors
to the Iron Cross Fund would receive
lithograph certificate stating that the
owner Of the certificate had contributed
to the help of orphans and widows of
German soldiers
George Won Skal, an assistant to
Capt Won Papen, in charge Of von Papen' 9
secret telegraphic codes, was secretary
Of the second German Bazaar and also
secretary Of the enterprise that was called
the Iron Cross Society The proceeds
of these funds, ostensibly gathered for
German charitable purposes, were de-
posted to the credit Of Count Won Bern
storff, with Kuhn. Loeb Il Go.
However, a very small part reached
Germany but were checked out by Count
Won Bernstorff from his account with
Kuhn. Loeb Il 90, and redeposited TO
the Joint account Of Won Bernstorf and

institutions in New York Eventually
the money was used for the furtherance
Of the schemes Of Or Dernburg, DIR

ARRIVES "OVER THERE"
Manhattan, Built at Harlan's, is

The Unites States ship Noptin Man

were anchored in the Harlan yard for
several months has arrived safely on the
other side and is now serving as hos

England The sailors on these two boats
made many friends during their pro-
longed stay in this city and were well
come guests at numerous homes.
The following extract from "A letter
received from Ralph Edgar Haines, of
the Noptin gives Il detailed account
of the voyage across.
We dropped anchor in the most heau-
tiful harbor | have ever seen, aud al
though we are not going ashore tonight,
we have had an enjoyable afternoon

band struck up The Star Spangled Ban

| felt more than repaid for all the dis
comforts that this war has subjected me to.
"The old ship seems rather lonely
tonight without the $50 soldiers running
about, for they were fine lot of men
and | made number of splendid friends
among them.
I'VE had an ideal trip with practically
no excitement at all, for we didn't see
any subs or mines and only had small
storm that lasted two days, and which
only made it little uncomfortable for
those of us on watch and smashed in the
| rail in the forecastle
Those Of us who had special duties
aboard ship were required to stand a
| watch each night in the crows nest.
That is the place where the wind and
| rain get chance to do their work; when
the long hours drag and drag while your
| eyes ache from watching for light or
mething that should not be That is
| the place where loneliness sets in and
fiourishes.
Each night We had to stand by our
| lifeboats with lifebelt strapped on and
watch for subs from about $50 until

the program from 3.l5 IN the morning
until daylight, SO you see We didn't get
so very much sleep.

HE'LL HATH NO FURY LIKE 4
WOMAN SCORNED.

A woman reader of the Echo sends
us the following, with the request
that we withhold her name for the
present:
"To the City Council:
care city water users supposed to
allow their water to run all night ?
If so, does it furnish fire protection
to our city? Most of our fires occur
at night, and many do not know of
the fire until the next day. In that
case it is not likely they would be up
to turn the water off if it was run
ming. If allowed to run all night in
one place why should it not make
puddle?
"To those who are selling sup
posed to-be soft drinks: | give you
all fair warning. There will be a
second Carrie Nation, if you want to
call it that, if the same thing occurs
again that occurred last Saturday
night. The innocent will have to
suffer with those who are disobeying
the law. Mr.. City Authorities, this
is to you. If | have to take this in
hand DO NOT interfere, or you will
get it where the chicken got the axe,

EARLY MORNING BLAZE DOES
SLIGHT DAMAGE.

The fire alarm at three thirty this
morning directed attention to the
east end of town, where the railroad
company's ice house was found
ablaze by those who had enough en-
ergy left to get up. The city's fire
fighters got out with comendable
promptness, all things considered,
and put the fire out with the loss
confined to less than two thousand
dollars, say railroad men.
The fire broke out in the roof, at
the east end, the origin of which has
not been explained. The ice house
is over a hundred feet long. Be-
tween seventy-fve and a hundred
feet is so badly damaged that it will
have to be replaced. 1t is unneces-
sary to say the ice did not burn, but
was slightly damaged, or melted by
the water thrown on the fire.

FOREST FIRES THIS WEEK DE-
STROYfD 100000 FEET OFLOCS
Burned Over About a Half Section
Now Under Control.

Forest fires have been raging in
the camps of the Great Northern
Lumber Co. for the past week. The
fire which started last Wednesday,
reached its height early Monday
morning. While still burning, all
danger is eliminated and with fair
winds fire will shortly burn itself
out. The original fire started at the
Great Northern Camp No. 2 in
Spremberg canyon and a strong
wind from the south spread the fire
over the hill into Trask canyon.
While practically no camp equip
ment was destroyed it is estimated
the fire burned three quarters of a
sTillion feet of logs. The fire spread
&sser both green and ground timber
A large crew of loggers and gov
ernment men have been busy fight
ing the fires. The fire extended into
the government forest reserve.

LEAVENWORTH SPENDS VERY

Conservation of both energy and
funds, which has been so forcibly
impressed on the community, may
account for the way the people of
this town spent the 142nd anniver-
sary of the nations birthday yes
terday. The day was spent in rest
full recreation. A goodly number
went to Monitor, where a county
celebration was held, and listened to
patriotic oratory and witnessed ath-
letic sports. Many went to the hills
and most just stayed around home
and spent the day renewing ac-
quaintance with their wives and
children. No fire works. not even
frecrackers, were in evidence.
A great many found recreation in
reading in the daily papers about the
prisoners taken by the allied armies
in France and Italy.

J. A. ABBOTT GRANTED PATENT
FOR TREE DEVICE.

j. A. Abbott, formerly ranch own
er on Chickamin creek, now living
in Leavenworth was granted a pat
ent by the government on the 21st
of May for making an artificial
tree. The patent is numbered l.
266,748. The purpose is to provide
a tree, or what nearly resembles a
tree, for decorative purposes. The
tree may be made any size or height
Under this patent it will be possible
to provide the finest kind of tree
very cheaply. The trunk, limbs and
base can be packed in very small
box and shipped to any part of the
country and set up. Mr.. Abbott
says he has had several inquiries
about his patent with view to pur-
chase if the device appears to be
practicable. He says he has several
other devices under consideration
which he may work out and endeavor
to secure patents for. This is his
first patent.

WILL CALIFORNIA ADOPT GER
MAN LAWS?

A writer in the San Francisco
Chronicle in commenting on the state
social health insurance measure
which is up for vote in California at
the coming election, and proposed in
other states, says: 81 would like to
express my views on this subject,
gained by personal experience in
Germany. Compulsory health in
surance is piece of Kaiserism pure
and simple. Why should the Amer
lean people adopt one of the insti-
tutions against which they are fight
ing? It's adoption would start the
American workmen on the road to
the same condition that the German
worker is in today-one of extreme
poverty and misery. / came in con-
tact, during many years residence
in Germany, with people who would
rather take two-thirds of their
wages and pretend to be sick just
to get out of work; but the majority
of the wage earners, hardworking
people, did not like compulsory
health insurance. Many of the people
became devoid of pride and ambi-
ton. Generally the people in Ger
many did not want compulsory
health insurance: they silently re-
belled and then submitted, for what
else can they do over there? I was
born and brought up in Germany,
and know what the conditions there
are. The advocates of compulsory
health insurance state that the work
men will enjoy the services of the
best and most prominent physicians,
but such is not the case in Germany.
There is a system to which the wage
earners have to conform. In every
district there are a definite number
of doctors, and you have got your
choice only between two or three of
them. In my own case had to
consult a doctor in whom had not
the slightest confidence, and | would
a thousand times rather have paid
my own bills and gone where | felt |
could get the right treatment The
best and most conscientious physi-
clans do not want social insurance,
for they have all they want to do;
but can truthfully say that the
majority of the insurance doctors do
not treat their patients even with
common courtesy. If the people of
California wish to crush autocracy,
they should keep social insurance out
of the state, for once it becomes
law it brings other Compulsory
things" in its trail.
