Propaganda "Made in Ger
many" After War Began
offered, Says Odell
Government Blocked
Press Agent Scheme
MAILS" Former Foreign
Correspondent Tells of
Attitude of Editor

Coming back from Berlin and Stock
holm last September, George 7. Odell,
former foreign correspondent Of THE
Evening MALI under the regime of DR..
Edward A. Rumely, brought into this
country lengthy treatise in Ger
man on conditions within the Ger
man Empire. Immediately-according
10 a statement given out by Deputy
State Attorney General Alfred L.
Becker yesterday-Dr. Rumely dis
Matched this document to "a highly in
auential person" at Washington, with
the request that it be turned over to
the governments publicity expert
As Mr.. Becker told the story, the at
tempt was the most brazen effort made
to foist German propaganda on the
American public since Won Bcrnstorff
was handed his passports. For the
document in question was not written
BY Odell. 1t was one of those pom
derous documents specially prepared
under the direction of Wilhelmstrasse
for the ediication of the Germans st
home and the Encouragement of all
the embattled peoples beyond the bor-
ders Of Germany.
Painted in German Oil
Chiefly it dwelt upon the extreme
economic felicity Of the land Of the
~
mate ingenuity all the internal prob
lens Of the war were being met by the
all-secing German leaders, 1t fouted
the Allied statements that there were
people in Germany who were hungry
and pople who we're tired of welding
the Shining German sword" for the
family of Hohenzollern 1t drew a
pretty picture of a land united and
efficient" beyond want or care or any
pinch OF affliction. And DR.. Rumely
sent it down to Washington with q
note explaining that it gave a true and
authoritative" picture of Germany as
ii actually was. which would probably
be enlightening to the American peo-
pie and of vast benefit to them if
given wild, and official publicity.
The United States publicity expert"
looked it over and wrote across the
margin: "This looks like fine piece
Of German propaganda" This com
ment was still intact on it when it was
duly returned to DR.. Rumely and later
found by Mr.. Becker in the letter files
Of "The Evening Mails" erstwhile
proprietor
"of course" said the Deputy State
Attorney General yesterday, amy such
attempt was bound to fail"
Wireless Plan Failed
Another plan of DR.. Rumely's which
fell through and upon which Mt.
Becker touched for the first time yes

demnation registered against him at
Saratoga Springs. 1t is matter of
common knowledge that he has more
influence in Washington than any
other American publisher. His chief
lieutenant, Arthur Brisbane, who is
engaged even now IN insidious propa-
ganda to foment 3olshevik uprising
IN this country, is received on terms of
cordial intimacy at the Presidents

POSTMASTER General Burleson, who

tlous publications, and has exercised it
against obscure sheets that have been
infinitely less harmful than the Hearst
newspapers, stands sponsor for him.
When Brisbane took charge of the
amalgamated Herald Examiner in
Chicago Burleson telegraphed his con-
gratulations, with the hope that the
paper would always stand for justice
and freedom and the privileges Of true
democratlc government Secretary
Daniels telegraphed in the same strain

posed intention to preach patriotism
West
There is special significance in the
Burleson message, because he is the
recognized political manager for the
Administration. There is, indeed, but
one explanation for the immunity with
which the Hearst publications pursue
their anti-American campaign-poli-
tics, Hearst owns and directs ten
newspapers-the one printed in Ger
man was discontinued three months
ago-and these are established in the
politically strategic states of New
York, Massachusetts, Illinois and Cali
fornia.
