SAYS CREEL AGENT
WAS OVERCHARGED
Hammerling Gives Lower Cost
MS Explanation Of Adver-
Using Contract.
INCLUDED EXTRA WORK
De Biasi Explains Difference
Was for Writing Boosts
of War Film.

Further information regarding the
methods employed by representatives
OF George CreeTs Committee on Public
Information in making and cancelling
contracts with New York advertising
agencies for the Creel committee filns
came to light yesterday.
Documentary evidence shows how
the Creel committee representatives In
New York made a contract for the
advertising OF the film "Under Four
Flags" but cancelled the contract be-
fore it was four days old and placed
the business with Louis n. Hammer
ling. president of the American As
ISOLATION OF Foreign Language News
papers, after that organization had
put under way a movement for a
countrywide testimonial to President
Wilson.
In O letter to THE SUN yesterday.
following the exclusive publication OF
the action of the Creel committee, Mr..
Hammerling explained that the busi-
ness had been thrown his way because
the Creel committee men had become
convinced that the agency in which
the advertising had been originally
placed was overcharging.
One agency with which the Creel
committee, through w. J. Machines.
director Of publicity OF the Division
Of Films. placed business. was the De
Biasl Advertising Agency, $50 Nassau
street. This contract was made No
vember IA, after a schedule of rates
had been submitted by Marie De Biasi
to Mr.. Machines and they had been
accepted.
Provided for Translations..
This contract, which was cancelled
four days later, called for the payment
of s2,O2l.2O to the DE Biasl agency.
and included this clause:
THE above price to include Italian
translation and preparation Of copy
for newspapers, based on English copy
supplied by advertiser: Two articles
in each paper free (excluding II Pro-
gresso) writing Of said articles, stories,
&C. -.
Four days later the following letter
was received from Mr. McInnes:
Confirming our conversation Of
even date. cancelling advertisements
in Italian papers on Under Four
Flags which cancellation covers the
page ad run Sunday. November l.,
1918, we have already notified the
papers how they shall continue the
advertisements and TO whom they shall
look for payment"
Since then the De Biasi Agency has
been making attempts TO collect from
the Committee on Public Information
bill of about $500 for advertising
already paid or contracted for by the
agency.
