nearly all this area contracted FOR lies

The government has entered this line
of industry because the demand for
this strange oil has outstripped the
supply. and the price has risen TO a

Christopher Columbus was born

fourteen years old he took up nav.

On October II I4o2 he di,cof-

not named after Columbus. It was
named after Americas Vespucoius
because he wrote more about it
than Columbus
The Geography writer's kept
putting it off from one Geography

OF America. Il seems that c.

on the German propaganda. Now, that
is emphatically and without equivoca-
ton the inference l drew from the va
rious talks
Mr.. Becker told the committee that
$50, 1853 was collected by the citizens
committee of New York for food ship
ments to Germany, but the money was
checked out of bank and the checks
were destroyed, and only $500 worth of
food was sent to Germany. The vii
ness testified that the late DR.. Hugo
Schwtzer of New York received s1,47S,-
$50 from the German embassy, having a
credit as a depositor for a part of the
funds He said evidence showed that
$150OO of that amount was paid to DIR.
Edward A. Rumely and used to pay ex
penses in connection with the New
York Evening Mail. Mr.. Becker read
letter from George Sylvester Fiereck
TO his father in Berlin, Intercepted by
British censors, asking the father to
forward the text of a German court de-
cision to the effect that beer was a food
rather than a luxury. This decision
and was used extensively as brewers
propag Uganda in the United States. A cat
echism Of the war entitled Two Thous-
and Questions and Answers" published
by the Review of Reviews Co. after the
United States entered the war and crit
icized by the National Security League,
was taken up by Mr.. Becker. He read
passage referring to immoral condi-
tions in Paris and said he considered
this German propaganda, because it in
censed the French hign commission in
this country. Senator Reed challenged
the statement and read the book fur
Their to show that it explained that
American soldiers did not spend their
days off in Paris. Many other passages
in the book constituted propa ganda,
