PART OF MONEY USED To
PURCHASE NEWSPAPER
Investigation is Being Conducted BY

flee and Evidence Collected Will Be
Laid Before the Grand jury and
Several Arrests viii Follow.

New York, July 1.-THE Busch
family of st. Louis bought at least
81 900 of the German war bonds
which the government believes were
sold in this country for propaganda
and for the purchase of the New York
Mail and other newspapers, accord
ing to statement issued tonight by
Alfred l.. Becker, deputy state at
torney general Mr.. Becker added
that probably more than $1,000,OO0,-
600 worth of the bonds had been sold
in the United States.
Mr.. Becker emphasized the point
that, while the United States was still
neutral, the imperial German govern
ment, without cent of expense to
itself, established a fund ito seduce
part of the American press with good
American gold exchanged for mere
scraps of paper"
Many Americans, he said, invested
in the German bonds before this coun-
try went TO war in the same manner
that they are now buying Liberty
bonds, thinking that the money was
TO be used legitimately for purchase
of munitions and war supplies, and
not suspecting that their dollars were
to be used against their own country
The Adolphus Busch estate, A. A.
Busch and Mrs. Lille Busch, were
among the subscribers in America to
the German war loans, he declared,
adding that when Mrs. Busch was ex-
amined recently by government agents
on her arrival in this country, she
had disclaimed any knowledge of the
alleged purchase of the Evening Mail.
Captain David A. Henkes, who was
dismissed from the United States
army by courtmartial for wishing to
resign after being sent to France and
who was sentenced to twenty-five
years at Fort Leavenworth, used part
Of his army pay to buy German bonds,

''In February, 1917, just before Won
Bernstorff sailed he sent more than
100000 to Buenos Aires for the ac-
count of the German government.
"Dr. Albert and Count Won Berns-
