Another of Bernstorf's
Infamous Lies, McLean's
Answer to Testimony

Edward B. Mclean, editor-president,
issued the following statement rela-
tive to the testimony of A. Bruce
Bielaski before the Senate Investigate
ing copmittee:
MIR. Bielaski, in his testimony be-
fore the Senate committee, quotes a
dispatch from former Ambassador
Won Bernstorff in which the statement
is made that my father, the late
John r. Mclean. offered to sell or
rent the Washington Post to the Ger
man government. That is another of
Won Bernstorff's Infamous lies. The
Post was never offered to him for
sale or hire.
MY father purchased the Washing
ton Post for me. He managed it in
my interests. If any proposition had
been on foot to sell the paper or ruin
it by handing it over to any special
interest I would have known it.
won Bernstorff was anxious to put
through anything that would help
his government. He often lied to his
government and he was often fooled
by sharpers, as previous disclosures
have proved. This lie regarding the
Washington Post is on a par with the
rest of the German propaganda.
81 am proud of the Post and jealous
of it's reputation. It never has been
and never will be controlled by any
foreign government or by any special
interest or any political party.

DRY LAW OFFICER HA[TS
BISHOP B. F. MCDOWELL
Methodist Prelate's Auto Searched
at the District
Line.

Bishop B. F. Mcdowell of the NJ. E.
Church, an energetic supporter of all
prohibition measures. was obliged
yesterday afternoon to satisfy a vigi-
liant policeman at Chevy Chase Circle
that he was not bringing into Wash
ington any whisky or other distilled,
vinous or malt liquors in defiance Of
the Presidents proclamation or in
violation of the laws enacted for the
government of this city.
OF course. the churchman ha6 no
difficulty in establishing the fact that
he had not been to Maryland for the
purpose apparently suspected by the
officer. Nevertheless the policeman.
protesting that he was merely obey
ing orders, inspected the bishops
automobile, but finding no regulation
liquor satchel or parcel he apologized
and permitted him to pass on.
Bishop Mcdowell is only one of
many prominent men to be held up"
on their approach to the gates of the
city from Maryland since the bootleg
raid was inaugurated. All roads are
watched. Any person carrying a
satchel is Immediately asked to es-
tablish beyond a reasonable doubt
the innocent nature of the contents of
such receptacle.
Covered automobiles are the espe-
cial objects of police attention, and
the officers are constantly on the alert
for camoufiaged machines. 1t has
been stated that some bootleggers
have had machines so constructed as
to give an appearance when searched
of being entirely empty. This has
come to the attention of Maj. Pullman
to keep an eye peeled for such We
hicles."

Chairman Sisson Endorses
Recommendations of
the Commissioners

The report of Chairman Sisson on
the District bill carried the following
recommendations which had been
urged upon the committee by the Dis
trict Commissioners:
Appointments to fill vacancies here
after occurring in the membership of
the board of education shall be made
by the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia.
The present principal of the Central
High School shall be placed at basic
salary of $4,000 per annum. and shall
be entitled to an increase of 500 per
onnum for five years.
Hereafter the board of education Is
authorized, on recommendation of the
superintendent of schools. to withhold
the longevity increase of any teacher
because of an unsatisfactory efficiency
rating.
Hereafter the board of education is
authorized to use all necessary floor
and room space in the Franklin School
building for Office purposes.
The report also proposes that the
District Commissioners and other OFF,
GERS be instructed, so far as possible
to purchase materials. supplies and
equipment as needed from the various
services of the government which no
longer require such supplies on ac-
count Of the cessation Of war activi-
ties.

Retirement BILL VOTE
is FURTHER DELAYED
Senators Discuss League of Nations,
ignoring United States EN-
ployes' Measure.

Opportunity for an early vote on
the Mcclellan civil service retirement
bill in the Senate appears to have
gone glimmering. While the bill was
before the Senate yesterday after
noon senators discussed the proposed
league of nations, though Senator
Mcclellan endeavored to have the bill
voted on without further delay.
The Senate adjourned yesterday
until Tuesday, when it is the purpose
of Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee to press for consideration
of the war revenue bill.
From Tuesday until the close of
the short session the time of the
Senate probably will be occupied
with the revenue bill and the appro.
nriation bills, and friends of the civil
service retirement measure felt dis
couraged over the prospect:

lotion was taken. He said he had

speakers were gotten together and,
under the leadership of DIR. Hermann
Gerhardt, meetings were held in many
cities.
The conference was successful for a
time, thousands of persons of Ameri-

Bernstorff's Messages on
Buying Washington Post
for Germany Shown

The records made public yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Bielaski consisted
of correspondence of Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador,
with the German foreign office and
with German agents regarding the
possibility of purchasing the WASH
ington Post and a New York news
paper, said by Mr.. Bielaski probably
to be the New York Sun. and con-
corning plans for the stirring up of
trouble between the United States and
japan for the purpose of forcing the
United States to shut off munitions
shipments to the allies.
Count Bernstorff. according to one
of the messages made public by Mr..
Bielaski, sent word to DR.. Bernard
Dernburg and Heinnerich F. Albert,
German propagandists, in October,
1914. that the Washington Post had
been offered to him for two million
dollars for the period of the war. and
"a second offer was to put the paper
entirely at our disposal for two
months for 100000
Further Bernstorf correspondence,
introduced by Mr.. Bielaski, asserted
that after Edward B. Mclean assumed
active control, the newspaper, whose
neutral attitude toward the belliger-
ents during the present war has won
for it warm recognition from the
German side, has of late materially
changed its tone on questions of Eu-
ropean politics and seems fairly on
the way to join our enemies" The
former ambassador is quoted in an
other message as saying the newspa-
per may be entirely lost to US if it
cannot, as 1t is very much desired, be
put into the hands Of Mr.. Hearst
There was nothing to show. Mr..
Bielaskt told the committee, that any
Of the Bernstorff messages were
answered.
Plans for Fomenting Trouble.
Edward L. Fox, writer. visited
Germany in 1915. Mr.. Bielaski testi-
plans for the fomenting of trouble
between the United States and Japan.
This plan included, the witness said,
the writing of plays, vaudeville
| sketches and scenarios and the STIR
ring up of trouble with the Japanese
| in San Francisco.
Mr. Bielaski told the committee
that under date Of October II, 1914.
Count Won Bernstorf sent this mes
sage from Washington to DR.. Bernard
tDernburg and Heinnerich F. Albert,
German propaganda agents in New
York:

of the capital. How do you stand on
the question of the money? I have
not yet inquired at Berlin"
There was nothing to show that
any reply was made. but Mr.. Bielaski
said that under date Of October 81

Reports received from Cozlenz indi-
cate that the reception there will be
essentially the same as at "reves and
the scores of smaller towns already
occupied.
The inhabitants of the zone taken
over today received the American
troops with the same courteous indif-
ference that has characterized the
manner of the Germans everywhere,
but in Treves and other communities

attitude of the Germans is becoming

and eagerly practice the use of the
English language whenever the men
will listen to order or talk to
them. Even men and women are

determination to ignore the Ameri-

planned that the people had expected
the same militaristic attitude as they
would receive from their own soldiers
and perhaps retaliatory methods, but
that when an unassertive manner was
adopted by the Americans it was diff
ficult for the people to keep up their
air of passive hostility.
The Germans have not yet seen
Gen. Pershing, the American COM
mander-in-chief. but they probably
will soon have this opportunity, since
he expects to enter the occupied terri
tory and come to Treves. Gen. PERISH
ing. however, will not enter the city
with any pomp or display.

100. 900 men, less seriously wounded,
including many slight casualties. are
still to be drawn from the hospital

"These records are not alphabetical

THE foregoing statement does not

that the remainder is in process of

The statement attributes the great
delay in reporting casualties and the
large number of errors which have
been found to the fact that "our
growing Army was operating on
