GERMAN PROPAGANDA
TRAIL A LONG ONE

New York. July l2-The trail of
money raised in this country
through the sale of German war
bonds Is long and only partially ex-
plored by American investigators.
This was learned authoritiVely here
today. Count Won Bernstorff and
Count Heinrich Albert, who was
German commercial attache in the
United States, were given carte
blanche by the German government,
according to evidence uncovered by
the New York state attorney gen
erals office. The money, used to
acquire control of the New York EN-
ening Mail is. according to Deputy
Attorney General Becker's belief
only a small portion Of great sums
said to aggregate millions, which
German agents used in this country
to influence public opinion so it
would be favorable to Germany. The
purchase of the control of the news
paper columns is said to be only one
phase of the inquiry.
Won Bernstorff and Albert had
accounts in 10 New York banks, MIR.
Becker said. The total of these de-
posits, none of which came from
Germany for the reason that sale of
German bonds in America supplied
enough funds, has not yet been
learned. Successful methods Of con-
cealment were persued by drawing
cashiers checks.
Evidence indicated further, Mr..
Becker declared. that large sums
were sent to South America for pro-
paganda
