Germans Used Millions Be. sides Buying Influence of
 Many Newspapers.

New York, July 12.-The trail of German propaganda financed in Am erica by money raised in this country thru the sale of German war bonds, is still one which is long and unexplored bv the American investigators, it was learned here today.
 Count von Bernstorff and Dr. Heinrich Albert, who was German commercial attache in the United States, were given a free hand by the German government, according to evi- dence declared to have been uncover: ed by the New York state attorney generals office. The money, which is alleged to have been used to control the stock of the New York Evening Mail, according to Deputy Attorney General Becker's belief, is only a small part of great sums said to ag- gregate millions which German agents used in this country to influ- ence public opinion.
 The purchase of control of newspa- per columns is said to be only one phase of the inquiry. Count von Bernstorff and Dr. Albert had ac- counts in 16 New York banks, Mir. Becker said supplied by the sale of German bonds in America for pro- paganda purposes.

TRINITY CHURCH
CAMPAIGN OPENS
Evangelist Leroy J. Mitchell Begins
His Series Of Meetings by
Talking to Large
Crowds.
PATRIOTIC KEY STRUCK
He Urges All to stand Behind Presi-
dent, and Says God 10 UIti-
mate Power to
Anchor to.
PATRIOTIC KEY STRUCK

Evangelist Mitchell who opened
campaign at Trinity church last
night, won the sympathy of the
great crowd from the very start as
he pictured the way God lifts soul
out Of the mire Of sin and pumps
song into his heart. His subject was
From the mire into the choir" The
text was taken from David's psalm
in which he said, HE brought me
up out of the miry clay. and set my
feet upon a rock. and hath put a new
song in my mouth, even praise to
our Cod" Mr.. Mitchell Is neither a
sensationalist nor conventionalist.
He believes that folks should be
natural. whether at home or at
church. He does not preach long
faced gospel. but a sunshine gospel.
There was strong patriotic note
sounded throughout the sermon And
people were urged to stand behind
the president in this great crisis.
But the ultimate source Of our help
is found only in God. He said some
men were losing their faith and
turning away from God, and urged
that people would better turn to God
rather than away from Him.
In the course of the sermon the
evangelist pointed out some of the
miry places into which men were
falling, then in his own natural way
painted the contrast between the
life while it was in the mire and
the same life after it had learned to
sing the song Of the redeemed which
is, unto Him that loved us and
washed us from our sins in His own
precious blood; to Him be glory"
There was not an uninteresting mo-
ment from the start Of the song ser
vice to the close when Mitchell at
the close of the sermon said, "Now
I'm DONE Then went down from
the pulpit and standing before the
front seat on the floor said How
do you like me? That's what you
will ask as soon as you get out of
the church" Then he sent dozen
people to the door to shake hands
with the people as they left the
building and all repeated together as
the benediction, John 3:16, For God
so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten son that whatsoever
believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life

On account Of the mayors procla-
nation of a partial holiday after B

may be able to attend at the later
hour, AL. G. Fields minstrel matinee
will start at o'clock. Evening show
at the usual hour. SIS. Street pa
rade at noon.
The AL G.. Field greater minstrels
have contributed to the American
stage some of the most popular and
best known comedians and those who
witness the performance of this Or
ganization this year will agree that
it has on hand now another conting
ent which is already leader in AM
erican stage fun. Billy Beard. the
party from the south" has an init
mate method of communicating his
fun and an apparent sincerity abou,
it that makes 1t absolutely infectious,
putting everyone in the audience in
an uproar of laughter. There is a
naivette about the way in which
Lasses White interprets negro COM
edy that makes his depictions ire
sistible, his facial expressions being
themselves able to move any one to
hearty laughter. The ability of
Charles Vermont to produce continu-
GUS merriment is not confined to his
voice or aspect of face, for he uses
his legs in dancing steps to accomp-
Iish grotesque results that are the
acme of hilarity.
Johnny Healy. Henry Neiser and
others of the company keep the gale
of fun moving on, and last but not
least. the dean of minstrelsy himself,
