ANOTHER BERNSTORFF
LIE, SAYS MCLEAN

Washington. Dec. 6.-EdWard +.
Mclean, editor president of the
Washington Post tonight issued the
following statement regarding the evil
dence introduced before the senate
committee investigating activities of
the brewing interests:
MIR. Belaski, in his testimony be-
fore the senate committee quotes a
dispatch from former Ambassador
Won Bernstorff in which the state
ment is made that my rather. the late
John II. Mclean offered to sell or rent
the Washington Post to the German
government. This is another of Won
Bernstorff's infamous lies. The Post
was never offered to him for sale or
hire.
Won Bernstorff was anxious to put
through anything that would help his
government. He often lied to his gov
ernment and he was often fooled by
sharpers as previous disclosures have
proved. This lie regarding the Wash
ington Post is on a par with the rest
of the German propaganda"

.16, 900 MAJOR
CASUAL TIES NOT
YET GIVEN OUT
War Department Announces
! Many Killed and Wounded
Not Reported Because of
Faulty Identification
tay ross.na 1eg.... sreeIA. .sAaso .wl.sl

Washington, Dec. 6.--The war de-
partment announced today that 10000
major casualties including killed in
aetion3 died of wounds. died Of dis
ease or other causes, severely wounded
and missing, have not been finally re-
ported TO the next of kin, The arrears
in minor casualties is much larger, it
was added.
From cable reports now expected,
the department hopes to clear up the
arrears in major casualties within a
week. except for a few names with
respect to which Identification has not
yet been completed. The minor cas-
ualties not yet reported to the next
Of kin represent slight wounds involv-
ing relatively brief disablement and in
most cases the men sustaining them
already have been healed. The total
in this class also includes many dupli-
cations, the same soldier having been
slightly wounded one or more times.
The official statement issued today
shows that of the total major casual
ties reported by General Pershing on
November 81, 50,92S have been re-
ported to the next Of kin with 1850
still to he reported. OF the 14,565
missing and prisoners of war sent in
by General Pershing, 1903 have been
reported to relatives but of the 1897
955 total wounded only 69,S4l have
been cleared up finally.
The statement gives the following
official explanation of the discrepancy
as to the wounded
"Ten thousand men seriously
wounded and reported by cable are
being held up because of discrepancies
in initials or enlistment numbers and
100, 900 men less seriously wounded,
including many slight casualties, are
are still to be drawn from the hospi-
tai records which have been forwarded
by courier from France
"These records are not alphabetical
and work upon them necessarily is
slow, as the same name usually APP
pear more than once. In one case a
single name appeared in twenty diff
ferent places. The work upon these
hospital reports was seriously de-
layed by the influenza epidemic, but
now is going on steadily.
THE foregoing statenAnt does not
cover all the discrepancies as will be
seen, but in dealing with 50 great 9
number of cases it may be assumed
that the remainder is in process OF
checking and that reports will be made
within few days to all identifiable
casualties"
The statement attributes the great
delay in reporting casualties and tho
large number of errors which have
been found to the fact that "ou'
growing army was operating on mans
fronts utftler many commands and "
the later fighting it was used to press
the enemy for quick decision, every
other consideration being subordin
ated."

York, Beilaski said At one meeting
on November 5, 1914, Dernburg's
notes showed that it was the opinion
of the committee that public opinion
in favor of Germany Was most i'm
portant and that every courtesy should
be shown American correspondents in
| Germany.
At the same meeting. the DernbufB
notes recorded that the Irish Dues
ton would be an important one in
the propaganda and that James II.
Mcclure, former mayor Syracuse, N.
Y, had undertaken the organization
of society that was to condust pro-
paganda in favor of Germany among
the Irish.
Associated with the propaganda or
ganizatioh was Dir, X, F. Fuehr, a
former German consular official in
the orient.
Mr.. Bielaski told the committee
that in october, 1914, Bernstorff
wrote a letter addressed to Albert and
| Dernburg in which he said the Wash
| ington Post was offered to him for
| $2,000,000 This offer was made, he
said, with the understanding that the
Post owners would buy the paper

The chance was attributed to Fuehr
to the Russian ambassador and he
said the policy had changed since the
death of the late John II. Mclean.

New York to Albert, in February,
1916, death with the purchase of q
New York paper for $2,O00,000. The
name of this paper was not mention
ed in the communication, but Mr..
Bielaski said there were indicatisls
that it was the New York sun.
MFR. Bielaski also produced a copy
of a message relating to DR.. Hale 60
ing to Germany for the Hearst news
papers which, he said, was sent by
Won Bernstorff to Berlin June 2, 1915,
through Buenos Aires and Stockholm.
DIR. Hale the witness said, was on
the German embassy pay roll at $f5,-
900 a year and also received $500 a
week as writer for the Hearst pa
pers, William Randolph Hearst, he
said did not know that Dr.. Hale was
in the pay of the German govern
ment
Won Bernstorff's message, which
asked preferential treatment of Hale
because he was employed by the
Hearst organs, follows;
I'm conformity TO your excellency's
wish I suggest that the present is q
favorable time to get Hearst to send
first rate journalist to Berlin. The
man selected, w. B. Hale, has been, as
your excellency knows, since the be-
ginning of the war. a confidential
agent of the embassy, and as such has
been bound by contract till June 2S
1913. In making this arrangement the
main idea was that Hale would be the
most suitable man to start the reor-
~, ne tl,n aftpr
peace on the right lines,
II request full confidence may be
accorded to Hale, who will bring with
him letter of recommendation from
me to DR.. Hammat. Hearst is not
aware that Hale is our agent, but
knows him only as a Germanophile
journalist who has contributed leading
articles to papers"
Another message, dated June s.
1916. said:
Hale tells me and Hearst confirms
that the latter is rather hurt that on
Wiegands account the World gets all
the important Berlin interviews.
recommend that under suitable cir
cumstances Hale should, for obvious
reasons. be given preference, as Hearst
organs have during the course of war
always placed themselves outspokenly
on our side"
Important List of Names.
From the diary of DR.. Karl a
Fuehr, German agent brought 70
America by Won Bernstorff, was pro-
duced a paper labelled Important

said. contains practically all who
were active afterwards.
