from the secret files Of Count von
Bernstorff today were read to the sen :
ate committee investigating pro-Ger-
man propaganda and the breweries, by
A. Bruce Bielaski.
Among them were lEStructions to all
German consuls in the United States to
get German subjects out OF munition
factories.
The consuls were ordered to stop
'Gernans above the rank of common
laborers from working in such plants
under a section Of the imperial code
and report to the German consulate in
New York.
Bielaski read at length from the
diary Of Dr.. Karl Feuhr, the German
agent whose activities figured promi
nently In the Investigation. The notes
OF Feuhr said that on the day following
the publication Of private letters OF II
A. Albert he consulted with Albert at
Cedarhurst, ". Y, and later discussed
the incident with Samuel JHtermyer.
Letters introduced showed that the
Hans Lebeau relief bureau" ostensi
bly, philanthropic and supported by
TS"AAS SOhSAAcuIAONS, was really SUD.
ported by the German and Austrian
governments for the purpose OF get
ting their nationals in America out Of
munitton factories.-
Lebeau, who received SIS a week re
ported to the German embassy in
February, 1916. that many Germans
and Austrians had been persuaded to
find other work than in munition fac
tories and that the bureau had found
employment for 4456 laborers. .s
Bielaski mentioned one DIR. Theo-,
dore Otto, Allentown, Pa, as having
reported to the German. embassy the
progress in munitions factories in Al
lentOwn.
Bielaski testified that Germany spent
more than. $76OO,o0O for the dissent
nation Of propaganda In this country
from the beginning OF the war. Some
Of this. he said, was used in purchas-
ing controlling interests lin newspa-
pers, some for the printing and dis.
tribution of. pamphlets and some was
sent to the German consulhtes in prin-
.cipal cities.
The morley used ec- rrcns ganda was
obtained largely thru the sale Of Ger
man treasury notes in this country,
NBieiaski said. Evidence obtained by
the department Of Justice showed that
the funds Of the German embassy
amounted to t2I;}o0, 900. sy
