PROPAGANDA
TO GERMANY
N 1915
(By Assoclatd Press.)

Washington, Dec 13. Testimony
that Edward Lyall Fox, writer. had
been sent to Germany in 1915 to write
German propaganda, which was dis
tributed by Hearst's International
News Service, was given the president
of the Senate investigating COMMITTEES
today by Captain Lester Of the army
intelligence service. Answering ques,
tions, Lester said nothing in the rec
ords show either that Hearst or his
managers of the news service knew
Fox was in the pay of the German
government. Lester read telegram
sent by the German embassy at Wash
ington to the Berlin foreign Office in
September, 1914, saying "the Chicago
Tribune is friendly paper
Lester testified that the German
government July 10, 1914, informed
about 1870 civilian employees at a con-
ference in Berlin that world war
would be started soon. These were
then dispatched to all parts of the
world, 81 coming to the United States,
to stimulate Pan-G German propaganda.
They landed in August, 1914, from the
same boat which brought DR.. Albert.
reputed paymaster of the enemy pro-
paganda system in this country. Les
ter said information came from some
unnamed information now interIed In
the United States.

dations Of the Committee on Currency

that the issue of notes should be lin

ASHURST ASKS GIFT
OLD UNIFORMS TO U. S.
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

Washington, Dec 13.-Give every
discharged United States soldier, sail.
or or marine his uniform-and with
it 80 days extra pay.
That's the plan Senator Henry r.
Ashurt of Arizona wants the govern
ment to adopt as part of its demob-
ilization program.
Senator Ashurst knows that the
average soldier will come out Of the
army without a Buffalo nickel to his
name, and that he'll have to buy a
suit of civilian clothes to replace his
uniform, under existing laws.
Some Soldiers Prize, Some Need
"It must be obvious" said Senator
Ashurst in explaining the purpose of
his measure to me, "that every sol.
dier highly prizes his uniform. Some
are so circumstanced that they will
want to wear their uniforms and save
the expense of an extra suit of cloth.
ing after they are discharged.
Moreover, as the years go by and
reviews are held, each soldier will
want to wear his uniform in parades.
In September, 1915, I saw thousands
Of Union and Confederate veterans
march up Pennsylvania, avenue-the
same avenue up which they marched
after the close of the Civil War so
years beforehand a few of them
wore the same uniforms they had
worn in '65. which they treasured as
priceless.
"The government can make no use
of discarded uniforms, and IL 1t re.
tains them they will only be moth.
eaten and destroyed.
"As to granting 80 days pay to
each soldier, sailor and marine after
his discharge, we must not forget
that we have taken these men out OF
gainful occupations and have wrench.
ed them from civilian life, and they
have served civilization with cour-
age and va1or beyond eulogy.
Ashurst Plan to Cost Americans $40
Each
"It will cost the United States
$240, 100000 to grant our men this
extra 80 days pay, but the patriotism
of the people has been so well proved
in the war that while this sum of
money seems large, it will be cheer.
fully paid, in my judgment. 1t means
only $2.4O per person for the 100, ,OOO,.
900 people in this country.
"This payment amounting to an.
Iproximately 800 to private will
give the soldier some means on which
to travel and replace himself in civil
life.
Il am going to appeal to the Amer.
ican peiple to support this bill hy
writing their senators and represen
tatives urging early and favorable
action on IT,
