Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-07

sent by Bernstorff through BuenOs Aires and Stockholm:
 Tn conformity to your eXcellency's wish, I suggest that the present is a favorable time to get Hearst to send first rate journalist to Berlin. The man selected, W. D. Hale, has been. as your excellency knows, since the beginning of the war, a confidential agent of the embassy, and as such has been bound by a contract till June 23. 1918. In making this arrangement. the main idea was that Hale would be the most suitable man to start the re- organization of the news service after peace on the decided lines.
 'I believe full confidence may be accorded to Hale, who will bring with him a letter of recommendation from me to Dr. Hammatt. Hearst is not aware that Hale is our agent, but knows him only as a Germanphobe journalist who has contributed leading articles to papers,"
 Another message dated June ,, 1916, said:
 Hale tells me and Hearst confirms Nlell lliC AelANtA lH lheAl OA Wiegand's account the world gets all the important Berlin interview. l re- commend that under suitable circum- stances, Hale should, for obvious req sons, be given preference, as Hearst organs have during the course of the war have always placed themselves outspokenly on our side"
 MT. Bielaski produced letters which he said Dr. Hale wrote to Dr. Albert, advising him how notes written by Secretary Bryan during the Lusitania controversy should be answered. He also testified that Hale was paid by the German government to visit Ru- mania, and if possible prevent the entrance of that nation into the war. He said MT. Hearst was ignorant of Hale's employment on this mission.
