TRAIL OF GERMAN PROPAGANDA LONG
 AND UNEMPLOYED
Federal Agents Said to Have Huge Undertaking Before Them in Tracing Rami-
 ficatiOns of Plots

New York, July 12.-The trail of ica by money raised in this country through the sale of German war bonds is still one which is long and uncx- piored by the American investigators, 1t was learned authoritativeIy here to- day.
 Count Non Bernstorff and Dr. Heinrich Albert, who was German commercial at tache in the United States, were given free hand by the German government, acordlng to evidence declared to have teen uncovered by the New York state attorney generals office. The money which is alleged to have been used to con .rol the stock of the New York Even ing Mail according to Deputy Attorney General Becker's belief, is only smaf. lortion of great sums said to aggregate millions, which German agents used in this country to influence public opinion. The purchase of control of newspaper columns is said to be only one phase o1 the inquiry. s
 Count Von Bernstorf and Dr. Albert had accounts in IS New York banks, MT Becker said. The total of these deposits, none of which came from Germany, 3e- cause sale or -Cerman bonds in America supplied funds considered sufficient for the propaga ndan purposes, has not yet been learLed. The reason, MT. Becker aided. was because of the successful methods of concealment pursued by Won Bernstorff and Albert, through a sys- tenn of drawing only cashiers checks in transferring accounts and making pay nent These transferrals were tre- ouently made overnight as further means of camouflage
 Evidence indicated further, MT. Becker declared, that large sums were sent to South America for propaganda work in Latin American countries. This phase of the inquiry has as yet been only little deVeloped

SAYS MUST HOLD OUT "T am also convinced--I know it. that in the widest circles of our nation the same serious feeling exists every where As long as desire for our de- struction exists we must hold, and we will hold out, with confidence in our troops, in our army administration and our magnificent nation, which bears so wonderfully these difficult times with their great privations and continued sacrifices.
 .In the direction of our policy noth | ing will be changed. If, in spite of these hostile statements sby these statesmen any serious efforts or q paving of the way to peace were to show themselves anywhere. then, quite certainly. we would not adopt a nega- tive attitude from the very beginning, but we would examine these seriously meant--I say expressly seriously-ef- forts immediately with scrupulous care.
 Naturally, it is not sufficient when some agent or other approaches us and says to us: can bring about peace negotiations then and there But it is necessary for the appointed representatives of the enemy powers, duly authorized by their government to give us to understand that discus sions are possible, discussions which for the time being naturally will be within limited circle.
 "But the statesmen who have spoken up to the present time have not said a word about such possibilities. When such possibilities manifest themselves, and when serious inclinations toward peace show themselves on the other side. then we will immediately go into them. That is to say, we will not ro- ject them-and we will speak, to De-
 gin, within small circle.
