to Germany in 1915 to write German
propaganda, which was distributed by
the Hearst International News Serv-

vestigation committee today by Cap
tain Lester of the army intelligence
service. Answering questions, Capt.
Lester said there was nothing in the
records to show that either Hearst or

bune is friendly paper"
SET OF DIRTY SKUNKS

were then dispatched to all parts of
the world, thifty-one coming to the
United States to stimulate pan-Ger-
man propaganda. They landed in
August, 1914. from the same boat
which brought DIR. Almert, the reput-
ed paymaster for the enemy propa-
ganda system in this country. Capt.
Lester said his information came from
an unnamed informant now interned
in the United States. -,
