SHOWS up GERMAN METHODS
One Bernstorff Message to His Gov
eminent Urged Special Favor Be
Shown William Bayard Hale,
a Hearst Correspondent.

Washington, Dec. 9-In telling his
story of German propaganda in Amer
lea, A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the
bureau of investigation Of the depart
ment of justice, laid before the senate
committee investigating brewery and
German propaganda cablegrams ex-
changed in 1916 by Count Won Bern
storff, then ambassador here, and the
Berlin foreign Office.
One of Bernstorff's messages urged
that special favor be shown William
Bayard Hale, an American about to
visit Berlin as a newspaper correspon-
dent, because he was employed by the
Hearst organs, which, the message
said, had outspokenly placed them
selves on the German side.
Bielaski told the committee Hale
was on the Hearst pay rcll for $500
a week, and also was employed at
$4,000 a year by a publicity organi-
zation formed in this country by DR..
Bernard Dernburg, the German propa-
gandist.
Mr. Bielaski told the committee that
in October 1914, Bernstorff wrote a
letter addressed to Albert and Dern-
burg in which he said the Washington
Post was offered to him for $2,0O0,000.
This offer was made, he said, with the
understanding that the Post owners
would buy the paper back at the end
of thelwar for $1,500000.
A communication from Fuehr to the
German foreign Office, dated August
2, 1916, said the Post had been friend
Iy to Germany up to that time, bur
recently had shown indications of
Joining the enemy The change
was attributed by Fuehr to the Rus
sian ambassador, and he said the pol
icy had changed since the death Of the
late John r. Mclean.
Suggesting on June 2, 1916, that the
time was favorable ito get Hearst to
send first-rate journalist to Berlin"
Bernstorff told the foreign Office that
the man selected was Hale, who, he
said, had been confidential agent of
the embassy since the beginning of
the war, and was bound as such by
contract to June %, 1918.
Hearst" the ambassadors message
said, lis not aware that Hale is our
agent. but knows him only as a Ger
manophile journalist, who has con-
tributed leading articles to papers"
