Hearst papers have kicked William
Bayard Hale back into the 7resi-

you have come across. of course, in
the dispatches from day to day, in
the almost criminal exposures in the
senate. Hale was an American who
was in the employ of the German
propagandists and he was a go-be-
tween of some p~retensions as well
as dimensions, and his name is now
an execration in his own coutry. 1t
was shown in the testimony that he
was a Hearst employee and the
Hearst papers now say that they re-
ceived him with the o. k. of the presi-
dent on him. although they found
him not worth what they paid him.
The president, while he was candf-
eating. had a book. "The New Free
DOM" issued in his name, but he did
not write it himself; the writing was
