OF this sum Feigenspan's letter
stated 900 was advanced to the
Growing Circulation Corporation.
(Mr. Brisbane's published statement is
place the sum he borrowed through
Mr.. Feigenspan at this amount).
Hearst Lawyer in Deal
Mr.. Palmer's documents quote the
corporation directory for 1917 as de-
scribing the Growing Circulation
Corporation, as being capitalized at
$4,000, having offices at 140 Nassau
street, New York City, and having
among its directors William A. De-
Ford, one of William r. Hearst's law
yers; John T. Sturdevant and
Thomas .McEntegart.
The course of the loan as it ap-
pears to be shown by documents. the
originals of which Mr.. Palmer states
are in his possession, shows first six
checks from c. w. Feigenspan,
trustee, drawn between June 21.
1917, and January 21. 1918. There
also is check for $4,000 drawn
by Feigenspan as trustee for Grain.
Then follow five drafts by the Fed
eral Trust Company payable to bear
er, asgregating S345,000. They were
endorsed to be paid to the order of
"A. Thursby, Growing Circulation
Corporation, per L. B. Krause, vice.
president. For deposit pay>to Equit-
able Trust Company"
"A. Thursby," says Mr.. Palmer's
announcement, "ls evidently Alice
Brisbane Thursby, whose address,
able Trust Company, is care of Ar
thur Brisbane. 23S William street"

The documents then show a note
| for 100000, dated June 21, 1917,
payable five years later to Feigen-
span as trustee, and executed by

ton. This is followed by a receipt
to Feigenspan, executed by A. Bris-
bane, acknowledging $26O,000 ito be
used in the purchase of Mr.. Mum
sey's newspaper in Washington by
me-" The remaining $4,000 was to
be paid later
A letter from Mr.. Brisbane to
Feigenspan defining the terms of
the loan is next given. This pre-
viously has been published by Mr..
Brisbane It sets forth that a num-
Der of brewers, including Feigen-
span, were ready to loan Brisbane
100000 for the purchase and es-
tablishment of a newspaper, and
that at the end of five years so
much was to be repaid as Brisbane
determined as the business of the
paper warranted; that no interest
was to be charged but that the loan
was to be returned if the paper
were sold. Mr.. Brisbane has stated
that he declined to accept the loan
without interest.
Depends on Circulation
His only security, FeigenSpan de-
clares in his statement to the alien
property custodian. is the $500, 900
note of the Growing Circulation
Corporation. At the close of the
statement George Ehret, Jr.. de-
clares that he believes it to be true.

ments, but passes to the two letters
by Konta to support his charge in
his Harrisburg speech that the or
ganized liquor traffic has been pro-
German in its sympathies," and that
these great interests actually have
been willing to finance great news
papers for the purpose of spreading
German propaganda and sentiments
in this country"
Konta's letter to Tauscher informs
Tauscher that at Bernard Dern-
berg's request he has canvassed the
prospects of buying a newspaper. He
asks that If possible the original of
the letter be recovered.
The letter to Dernberg, written
March 81, 1915, goes into the sub
ject of 'the purchase and publica-
ton of daily newspaper in this
country in the interests of Germany
and the German government" 1t
proceeds to discuss various New
York newspapers from the point of
their success, proceeding from that
to make deductions on the likeli-
hood of their sale.

GERMAN ARMY TO
FIGHT ON, FIELD
MARSHAL ORDERS
Eindenburg Tells Troops 1t Is
Their Duty to Continue
in Struggle

Amsterdam, Sept. 20.-Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has issued
proclamation to the German army in
the field according to the Zeitung am
Mittag, of Berlin, in which the Ger
man commander-in-c chief alludes to
the recent Austrian peace offer, say
ing that it does not involve an inter-
ruption in the war operations.
The eld marshal adds that a readi-
ness for peace is not in contradiction
with the spirit with which Germany
is waging the struggle. 1t is the
army's duty, he says to continue the
struggle while waiting to see wheth-
er the enemy is sincere and ready for
peace negotiations.
The text of the proclamation
reads:
The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment has proposed to all the belli-
gerents a conference for non-bind-
ing discussion of peace. War opera
tions are not thereby interrupted.
Readiness for peace is not in con-
tradiction to the spirit with which
we are waging the struggle for the
homeland.
LAS early as December, 1915, the
kaiser, our supreme war lord, with
his allies, offered peace to the enemy.
The German government has often
since then proclaimed its readiness
for peace.
The reply of the enemy was
scorn and derision. The enemy oV-
ernments melted their peoples and
armies to continue the annihilating
war against Germany. We have thus
continued our defensive struggle.
Our ally has now made fresh
proposal to hold a discussion. The
fighting will not be interrupted.
THE army's task is to continue the
struggle In four victorious years or
war, the German army has ener-
getically protected the homeland and
proved to the enemy our invincibil-
ity. Only by this means do we help
break the enemy's will to destruc-
ton.
"While continuing to fight, we
have to wait to see whether the
enemy is sincere. and this time ready
for peace negotiations, or whether ne
will again reject peace with us un-
less we are prepared to buy it on
conditions which would destroy our
peoples future

Kontd, German Agent, Quoted

Washington, Sept. 20.-The fed
eral custodian of alien property, A
Mitchell Palmer. made public yes
terday the names of the fifteen

buy the Washington Times.
Mr.. Palmer acted Immediately aft
er the Senate had passed a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Jones. of
Washington. calling upon the prop
erty custodian to show the proofs
on which he made his speech in
Harrisburg, Pa, last Saturday, de-
scribing the efforts of brewers to
control a newspaper in pro-German
interest, to exert their influence upon
Congress, and, finally, on which he
charged that the brewing interests
had advanced the money for the
purchase of a newspaper to fight
the battle of the liquor traffic under
the shadow of the dome of the cap
itol"
Brisbane Borrows Funds
Mr.. Brisbane, in published state
ments in the Times. already has
stated that he bought the paper with
money loaned by c. w. Feigenspan,
a brewer, and president of the Fed
eral Trust Company of Newark, n.
j. Mr., Brisbane also has published
letter from Feigenspan defining an
arrangement by which the loan was
syndicated to fifteen brewers. Mr..

agent, to Captain Hans Tauscher,
notoriously associated with German
propaganda in the United States and
to DR.. Bernard Dernberg, Germany's
chief propaganda agent. upon the
prospects of buying some great
American newspaper. Mr.. Palmer
connects these with his declaration
that the influence which the brewers
attempts to exert was thoroughly in
the interest of Germany.

documents. He added that they

thorization of capital issues during
