HEARST PAPERS ON OUR SIDE --BERNST0RFF
TODAY
IN THE NEWS
Hearst and the Germans
Ireland at the Peace Table

CTARTLlNG revelations wer,
y made today by chief of the
bureau of investigation re-
garding German propaganda ac'
tivity in this country before the
United States entered the war
Among others, the name of vii
liam Randolph Hearst is mention
ed, and his papers are termed by
Count won BcrnstOrf as being
'outspokcnly" on the German
side.
This was in june. 1916 6--bcfore
America entered the war. Al
though the investigator produced
list OF names. which included
Hearst S, and which he declared
were OF men who were actively
pro.Gcrman prior to our entrance
into the war, and few who were
active afterwards, he does dis
tinguish between the two kinds,
and therefore Hearst must be Civ.
en- the benefit OF the doubt.
But June, 1916 was net before
the Lusitania had been sunk: be
fore Belgium and large part of
northern France had been ravag-
ed. aud their inhabitants subjected
10 all kinds of barbarous cruelty.
II Mr.. Hearst was sincere in be
my "outspokculy" OH the German
side. all that can he said is that he
has peculiar psychology for AN
American.
The expose of the department OF
Justice also mentions the fact that
William Bayard Hale. employed
by publicity organization formed
by DIR. Bernard Dernbure. was at
the same time employed by Hearst
as his correspondent al Berlin. II
appears, however. that Hearst did
not know of Hale 5 connection
with the German government.
Other notei men are mentioned
in the department of justice 5 list
many of them professors in the
leading colleges of the country
among them are David Starr .Ior-
dan and Albert Bushnell Hart.
Resolutions urging that the Amori
can peace delegates bring up th'
question of self determination foi
ireland are before the house of repre-
sentativeH for consideration.
Various effortg from time 10 tim'
have been made to drag America into
the Irish muddlc. This latest is per
haps the most clcar-cut
Tho United Statos govo rnmcnt vii
make a serious mistake " IA permit,
itself TO enter the controversy The
truth OF the matte. is that Ireland i'
her own problem while lister in
sisis on remaining IN the Union an,
the south OF ireland insists on home
rule. there seems 10 be little prospcc
of happy solution OF the problem
\ partition has been suggested, hu
even that cannot be agreed upon
Efforts have been mndo 10 compar,
Irelund's situation with that OF bel
gium. Nothing could he more so
phistic. Ireland under british rul
compared with Belgium under Cor
man rule! The parallel ~ too anus
ing 20 any ono but a Sim Feincr.
The doadlicst answer To- this claim d
the number OF Irishmcn who haN'
fought for the same England that u
said TO be depressing them. Herr
again the parallel between lrclan,
and belgium fails

ANOTHER HOSPITAL
SHIP TORPEDDED
Germans Forget Their Pledge
to King Alfonso.
ALL WOUNDED ARE SAVED
British Ship OF Mercy Attacked And
Sunk While Displaying All The
Lights And Markings Required
BY The Hague Convention.

Bristol, England-The hospital ship
Rewa was torpedoed without warning
an hour before midnight on January
and sank within an hour. Accord
ing to custom, the vessel was lighted
up after dark Friday evening, so that
there could be nc possibility of sub
marines installing her identity.
The torpedo struck the vessel with
a terrific crash and was so effective
that there was no chance of saving
her. There were $50 on board, in
Guiding 80 bed-ridden and a number
of soldiers suffering from malaria.
The lights on the hospital ship were
put out by the force of the explosion
and the wounded and sick had to
grope about in the dark for. their cloth
ing. Many of them were unsuccessful
in their quest and had to leave the
ship without clothing. While in the
boats and on RATS they had little or
no protection from the pie ccing cold
wind.
All the patients, the ships staff and
the members of the crew, with the ex-
ception of three Lascars, who were
killed by the explosion, were safely
rescued from the boats and RATS.
They had hardly left the Rewa, which
was sinking on even keel, when the
steamer suddenly plunged forward and
disappeared. The rescued men, were
two hours adrift before they were
picked UP.
The announcement follows:
His Majesty's hospital ship Rewa
was torpedoed and sunk in the Bristol
Channel at about midnight on Janu-
airy 4, on her way home from Gibral-
tar. All the wounded were safely
transferred to patrol vessels. There
were only three casualties among the
crew, three Lascars being missing.
"She was displaying all the lights
and markings required by The Hague
Convention. She was not and had not
been within the so-called barred zone,
as delimited in the statement issued
by the German Government on Janu-
airy 10, 1917"
Cardiff, Wales.-Most of the sur
vivors of the Rewa were Landed at
Swansea. Many of them were without
clothing of any kind. The wounded
were removed Immediately to hos
pital.
The torpedo which sank the Rewa
went directly through the Red Cross
painted on her side.
