enspan in underwriting the loan.
The brewers advanced $375,O0O.
The witness denied allegations of
pro-German sentiments in editorials Is
he has written, saying he always has
supported Americas cause and
strongly opposed Germany. Excerpts
from editorials appearing In Hearst
newspapers were produced by the
committee and Mr. Brisbane was
asked regarding their authorship.
Since only portions Of the articles
appeared in the reprints, the witness
was not positive as to their author
and he was given the excerpts with
which to go over the files TO deter
mine whether he wrote the origi-
nails.
If there was anything in these fa-
yorable to Germany know | did not

Hearst could take over the Times at
price paid to Frank A Munsey.
Senator Sterling, OF South Dako-
ia, questioned Mr. Brisbane about
the editorials in which he said that
England has no. always been re
nowned for her unselfshness."

Allies VIII Police City

Copenhagen, Dec. 6.-The allied

Iy occupy Berlin exercising police
supervision over the city, according
to the Deutsche Allegemaine Zeitung
Of Berlin which says that an Amer
loan wireless depatch to this effect
has been intercepted by the German
government. The newspaper says
that Mannheim will be similarly oc-
Gupied. The reason for this action
on the part of the allies is due to a
regrettable occurrence, the supervis-
