AS Forgery

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. III
Testimony being read into the re
cord of the senate committee on The
investigation of the German pr0pa
ganda in United States, in which
OF the department of justice investi
Hearst are involved, is bringing to
light many startling facts, hitherto
unrevealed.
The examination of Alex Knota, OF

DR.. Dernberg, the German propagan
dist who is siad to have started the
propaganda work in America, was
completed yesterday.
Today A. Bruce Bielaski, chief
OF the department of justice nvesti
CATION who has inquired into the
propaganda work of various German
organizations and publications said
There is no evidence thatMr. Hearst
received any profits from the German
Government or from any one acting
for it." In the meantime, however,
he contends in his testimony before
senate brewery and German propa
ganda inquiry that the Hearst paper
were in favor of Germany in very
pronounced manner.
In copies Of kilograms by Hearst,
read into the record, Hearst brand
ed the Zimmerman note seeking TO
involve Mexico and Japan with the
United States as a probable forgery
of Attorney General Gregory's office.
He charged Gregory and Colonel
House as being violently pro-corpr-
oation and stated further that Presid-
ent Wilson had been guilty of de
ception. A large majority of Ameri
cans We're against the United States
entering the war. Hearst concluded
The Government is basing it's
charges ON the fact that Mr.. Brisbane
an emplovee of Hearst. purchased
the Washington Times with money
loaned him or given him by brewers.
Brisbane in his defense claims that
Hearst knew nothing of the deal, and
when he learned of it. was opposed to
it since his contract with Brisbane
called for all Mr.. Brisbana's time at
50 900 a week. Brisbsna stated if
the Times interfered with his work
for Hearst he would turn it over to
him.
In refuting the Brewery charges
Brisbane stated he had been friend
ly to the brewery. ard needing cash
had appealed for loan to one of the
liquor men, who obtained the total
'''m among his friends. He wished
to take no mortgage en- the Times.
since he did not wish ITO go On re
'ord as having tried to purchsse news
oaper support. thus making the loan
appear as gift ito the government.
