to the Fatherland was to care for
their imperial interests abroad.

tination would be the United States
and instructed to sail on the same
vessel that brought the head of the
bureau. DR.. Heinnerick Albert, to
this country. The men, Capt. Les
ter testified, did not all sail in first
J class cabins with their leader, but

Kept Tabs on Newspaper Men.
Capt. Lester stated that the Albert

history of every editor. reporter and
advertising agent on the stan Of near
ly every newspaper in the country.
For some newspapers a complete record
of the entire personnel OF the office,
from the telephone operator to the
owner. was on file IN the Albert office.
This information was gathered not
only by the men brought for propa-
ganda work to this country, but by
thousands of agents stationed through
out the country. Capt Lester esti-
mated that the Albert office had at
least 10000 representatives in the
United States. He stated that the

British government, were revealed in
the evidence produced by Capt Lester.
After the International News Service
was refused the use of British wires
Hale arranged with German officials to
use the wireless system from Nauen to

station for the transportation of for
eign news for the Hearst papers.
Tells of Work of Fox.
Another representative OF the Hearst
publications in Berlin aud paid Ger
man agent, Edward Lyle Fox, Capt.
Lester testified. was in the habit of
sending articles back to the United
States for publication that were in
reality sheer propaganda and con-
tanned statements that were entirely
false. One such article, published in
the New York American on Septem-
Der IS. 1915. described certain atroci-
ties committed by the Russian Cos
sacks as seen by Fox
Capt. Lester stated that he had OBJ
tanned an admission from Fox that
this article had been written under
instruction by German officials to
Offset the disclosures then beginning
to filter through the American press
Of the atrocities committed in Bel
GUM.
He admitted" Capt. Lester said
that he had never seen these atroci-
ties referred to in the article, and to
his knowledge they had never been
committed"
other articles dictated by German
agents were sent back to the United
States by Fox under the gllise of real
news stories One article. Prof

structions to play up the Japanese

Wanted Money He Says.

Articles written by Fox were pub
lished in Hearst's German paper in
New York, the "Deutsche Journal"
Fox told the Military Intelligence Of
fee under cross examination that the
plan proposed by himself to the Ger
man ambassador to stir up trouble
with the japanese on the Pacific coast
had been an attempt to obtain money
from the German government and that
he had no idea of putting it into execu-
ton.
Captain Lester told the subcommit-
tee that George S. Viereck, publisher
of the "Fatherland," had kept two
representatives, in Washington, the
first Frederick Schroeder. and the sec
ond, Major J. J. Dickinson, a veteran
newspaper man. and afterwards a cap
tain in the United States army.
Dickinson was supposed to have in
side information from cabinet and off,
Cial circles, and the Information sup
piled determined the policy of the
''Fatherland." Viereck believed that
Dickinson could secure him advance
informa ion through the back door
of the White House" and Immediately
transmitted such information as he
forwarded to him to the foreign office
in Berlin.
Capt. Lester stated that Dickin-

Publishes Sermon Book.

In connection with the library main
tanned by the New York American
Hearst published book entitled The
Deutschland" written by Capt. Paul
koenig, of the German submarine by
that name. The proposition was made
to Hearst by Hale that the book
should be published in America, and
the proceeds given to the widows
and orphans of sailors who had died
on German submarines.
Hearst agreed and later published
the book. but before the manuscript
reached New York the story appeared
in the New York World in serial
form.
Capt. Lester testified that the film
play "Patria" had been produced by
the International Film Service to
arouse feelings against Mexico and
Japan, and that its production had
been forbidden in Canada Presi-
dent Wilson, after attending a per-
formance in Washington, asked that
Hearst remove certain Objectionable
features that labeled it too strongly
as a part of the agitation against
Japan. Capt Lester stated that at
the Presidents request certain jap
anese names had been changed to
Mexican ones, but that the charac-
ters still appeared in their Japanese
costumes.
''Patria" starred Mrs. Vernon Cas-
tie and was shown over the United
States until September, 1917, six
months after this country entered the
war.
Produces "Soldier Book
Capt. Lester produced at the hear
ing a huge, magnificently bound book
entitled the Golden Book of German
War Orphans" This volume, he
stated, was compiled as a present to
the German Empress to whom it was
dedicated. and contained the names of
those contributing to the fund raised
In this country for German orphans.
The book was taken from New York
to San Francisco and contained the
names of hundreds of German-Ameri-
cans. Capt Lester stated that its real
purpose was to record the names of
persons friendly to the German cause.
As many OF the signers had con-
trfbuted innocently. the subcommittee
decided that the names should not be
made public.
The "go-between" between the Office
OF the New York American, Hearst's
paper In New York. and the Office of

ganda bureau. was Marshall Kelly, a

Tfanch songs nearly always charm
when well done and four sung by Mr..
Gravsure were no exception. Cha

uro1hbly the best executed but Pa

most applause because Of Mr.. Gra-

And enunciation probably is one OF
the chief reasons for the baritone's
popularity. Not a word could be mis-
understood when he sang the Shakes

These songs are typical Of Mr.. Ire

Belgian Baritone Gives Re-

Charming Songs.

Louis Graveure, appearing in recital
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon. gave a program Of twenty
three songs so successfully that the
audience recalled him to bow twelve
tines, applauded until he sang six
encores and forced him to repeat four
Of the numbers.
This mathematical estimate of the
baritone's popularity. however. gives
only-a hint of the real enjoyment he
gave. for the Belgian singer seems to
be among the most popular Of the
artists who appear in recital here.
Mr. Grayeure was accompanied by
Bryceson Trenarne.
In a program OF Gypsy, French,
Shakespearian, Arabian and miscella-
neouS songs, the group Of Gypsy songs
seemed first in favor. consisting OF
seven gems by Dvorak so short that
they seemed to die abOrning. OF these

Senator Jones, Of Washing
ton, Makes Pleas for Use
Of Water in U. S.

Water power would make the
United States "impregnabfe In time
Of war" Senator Wesley Jones, Of
Washington. told the Senate yes
terday.
He added. "and commercially DOM
inant in time OF peace"
The senator criticized Congress
for failure to pass water-power leg
islation. There have been fears
that neither the Shields bill nor
the administration water-power bill
would get through the House with
out amendment. But yesterday adj
ministration leaders, said they were
sure their bill would pass success
fully without much alteration.
Country Needs the Power.
K. The time has come. when the
country needs the force and energy
contained in its wasting water
powers to supplement the man pow
er, and the penalty OF delay is en-
forced by fate against the unready," I"
said Senator Jones.
The fault is with Congress and
with Congress alone. Failure of
Congress to pass a workable water
power law at this session will be
nothing short of crime and disloy-
atty to the dire necessity OF our
country.
The safety, welfare. prosperity
and progress of the nation demand
aud require the prompt enactment
Of water-power laws in which pro-
lection of the public interest shall
be co-ordinated with fairness to-
ward capital"
Every source OF power in the
United States, whether from steam or
water, is being utilized at the present
time to utmost capacity to meet de-
mands for explosives, munitions and
war material Of all kinds. Yet there
Is great shortage OF electric energy.
Munition factories are closed down
because of this.
Practical men say that IL the war
continues another year, the short
age Of power will become a serious
handicap to. success.
Congress has delayed the settle
ment of this question too long. The
hour has struck. 1t should delay
no longer. Let Congress do its duty
and do it quickly"
The Senator said a little plain
talk" would not hurt. and that this
talk was his criticism of the Con-
gressional delays.
AS an example OF what water power
when developed would accomplish, he
described what would result from the
development of the Priest Rapids of
the Columbia River, located in the
central part of Washington.

MATRIMONIAL BONDS
RUN CLOSE SECOND
Cupid Enters Race with Statesmen
for the Liberty Kind.

Sales Of liberty loans was not
the only bonds that had a big boost
from the effects of the great parade
Friday. as matrimonial bonds were
a close second, judging from the re-
suits yesterday when Col. Kroll, the
original Cupid of the courthouse, dis
posed of thirty-two licenses to ma arry,
all but four of which were for white
persons.
Although scheduled to close his mat
rimonial bureau at noon on Satur-
days, the genial colonel was too
kind-hearted to resist the anvil cho-
rus on his doors when shop was
declared closed officially, and was
still grinding them out when 4 o clock,
the regular quitting hour, came
around. Even at that there was
a long waiting list in line, and in
addition there were hurry calls over
the phone; all of which goes to show
that bonds of all kinds are in pop
ular demand right now.

LEWIS CALLS
upon NAVIES
TO END WAR
Senator from Illinois Says
Time for Sea Forces to
Finish Huns.

A call to the navies of the nations
opposing Germany to get in and finish
the fight was sounded in the Senate
yesterday by Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, the majority whip.
Senator Lewis declared dramatically
that II the German land forces are
not conquered 5v July /. the fleets Of
the allied powers. led by the ''unvan-
quished and invincible American
navy" must end the war.
I'VE have reached the point in the
war when the navies Of the contest
ing pai ties must be brought into ac-
tion." Senator Lewis said. If We
cannot end the German drive by July
/, then the efforts of the forces on
land must cease and the conflict
must be brought to the sea. where the
unvanquished and invincible Ameri-
can navy, leading the navies of the
entente allies, can be put in action
against their common enemy"
Defends U. 8.
Senator Lewis warmly defended this
country against the charge that it had
been guilty of delaying dispatching
troops to help the allies in France.
He showed by the statements of the
High Commissioners of Great Britain
and France that the great need was
for supplies rather than for troops.
Specific requests that no troops be
sent over before this year was made
by these representatives, he said.
1T is time to speak frankly about
this war and our part in it." the
Senator. continued. THE country
must know, and I am bold enough
to say it and assume responsibility
for 1t, that we have been unjustly
criticised for not sending troops to
Europe with more speed"
Speech Significant.
Senator McCumber inquired whether
the dropping out OF Russia might
not have effected a change in the
demands of the other powers. Sem
ator Lewis replied that this may have
been true. but he insisted that re-
sponsibility for not having a greater
force of American troops in Europe
at this time should be placed entirely
upon representatives Of allied gov
ernments who came to Washington.
Senator Gallinger recalled to SEN
ator Lewis that Gen: Joffre had stood
on the Vice Presidents rostrum and
urged America to send troops over,
even IL only a small number, for
their moral effect Senator Lodge
made q similar statement.
Senator Lewis replied that II was
true that the United States had been
asked to send over the regular
troops, amounting to about 10000 men,
but this detachment, he said. was
but fraction of the entire number
to be sent over.
The speech Of Senator Lewis at
tracted particular interest from the
fact that the Interallied Naval Coun-
Gil is reported to have assembled
at Paris for important conferences
relating to the future naval policy
of the allies.
