relief and comfort contributed by
them through the American Red

SUMMER PALACE

With the American Army of Occu-
patton, Monday, Dec. 16 (by the AS
sociated Press) The ROYAL castle in
Coblenz, known as one of the former
emperor's summer palaces, now is nn-
der guard by American troops. The
palace stands on the banks of the
Rhine, q stones throw from the busi-
ness center of Coblenz.
The palace is surrounded by royal
gardens and contains many articles
of historic interest, in addition to sill
Verware and other belongings of Will
liam |, who once occupied the build
ing.
Since the arrival of the Americans
there have been several attempts to
remove some of the yaluables from
the palace. Therefore 1t was decided
that a guard should he placed around
the house as precaution against the
furniture and other things inside be-
ing disturbed.
The palace was built by Prince
Clemens Wenzelslau. The building
was started in the year 177s and was
finished eight years later. 1t was re-
modelled IN 1S45.
The royal barracks within the ual-
ace gardens is occupied by American
troops, but thus far the Americans
have not entered the palace itself,

uel Untermyer of New York, appear
ing today at his own request before
the senate committee investigating
beer and German propaganda, said
he was present to disprove "the in
uendoes and implications" before the
committee that he was of pro-Ger-
man sympathy before the United
States entered the war.
Mr.. Untermyer said that he had
but few conferences with former Ger
man Ambassador Won Bernstorff and
added that he had declined to act as
legal adviser to the embassy, al
though other lawyers had accepted
fees for such service. He said that
before the United States entered the
war he had formed the conclusion
that it would not have been to the
best interests of civilization for Ger
many to nave won the war.
Mr. Untermyer explained his nego-
tiations in 1916 with DR.. Heinnerich
r. Albert, paymaster of the German
propagandsts. for the purchase of
the New York Evening and Morning
sun, and said that they were made
with full knowledge that Albert was
attached to the German embassy. He
said the transaction was to be purely
a business one and that it made no
difference to him then whether AL
