supply OF print paper, but Bolo's
real idea was to collect funds here
with which to take over an important
newspaper In Paris. Charles +. Ber-
ten, manager OF the Hearst bureau in
Iaris' was the man who brought Bolo
10 the United States. 1t was brought
out IN later questioning by Senator
S'erIlnS IS. d. that Bolo on his sec
ono visit to the United States came to
new York on February 22. 1916, and
.hat within three days OF his arrival

Mr.. Hearst.
During the discussion OF how Bolo
came into contact with Mr.. Hearst so
soon after his arrival Senator King

There is one fact about Bolo we
nave which was never brought out be-
fore, helaski added THAT is that
he was in touch with the German EN-
passy here shortly after war began in
1914 In a notebook of DR.. Albert,
which we have in our possession, this
entry appears:

shows conclusively that the embassy
Knew intimately of Bolo, and probably
knew of his activities"
questioned further about the atti-
t'lde OF Hearst Bielaski said:
"Of all the newspapers published in
the United States those published by
MT. Hearst were the most pronounced
In favor of Germany. There is no
other man whose attitude was so
friendly to Germany in the war. II
this inquiry were limited to paid prop
agandists, however we could not men,
ton Mr.. Hearst. There is no evidence
that Mr.. Hearst received any profits
from the German Government or from
any one acting for It,"
Riddera Activity Disclosed.
The intimate relations between Ber-

for the purposes as outlined TO you.
We have Furthermore spent 1926 In
Greater New York among the labor
element and in sending the man to
Boston on Friday. This campaign Is
now finished as far as we are con-

to you.
The fund OF $4,000 which has been

throughout the West this week and
next week. I feel sure that the cause
OF peace has been very much advanced
during the last ten days"
Mr.. Bielaski then showed a letter
from Won Papen explaining to Ridder
that ito his very great regret I am

to refund you any money that served
political purposes. 1 consider 1t i'm
