Red Cross insignia on speeding
ambulance in Baltimore yesterday
did not serve to keep one Of Marshal
Carter's traffic policemen from speed
ing after it. The traffic policeman
found the vehicle contained sixteen
cases of whisky that We're being
brought to this city, and it's occupant,
who registered as David Ostrech,
Washington, D. c.. was arrested.
The speeding ambulance bore a
paper license tag in addition to a
metal one. No charge was preferred
against Ostrech growing out of pos
session of the liquor. but he was
charged with operating without a
license and failing to have an op-
orators card. He was tried in the
traffic court and fined S25 and costs.
Ostrech told the traffic policeman
he had purchased the ambulance in
this city for $225. and Commissioner
Baushman ordered the vehicle held
until further investigation could be
made. 1t Is stated that such an am
bulance was sold in this city a week

.DEN|EsANY INTENTION
TOA|DH HUN PROPAGANDA ! Al
Louis n. Hammerling Questioned
Further by Senate Committee on
10000 Advertising Campaign.

Louis n. Hammer1ing, president of
| the American Association Of Foreign
Language Newspapers, continued his
testimony today before the Senate
committee investigating alleged polit-
ical activities of brewers and German
propaganda.
The committee questioned Hammer.
/ ling further regarding the two-hun-
dred-thousand- dollar advertising cam
paign. which he admitted yesterday
was organized in 1915 with view to
stopping the shipment Of munitions to
| the allies. The money for the cam
paign, Hammerling testified, was con.
| tributed largely by Edward A. Rune
| ly, recent owner of the New York
Evening Mail. and a portion of 1t was
obtained through DIR. Heinnerich ~
bert, one Of the leaders in the Ger
man propaganda program in the
United states.
Hammerling's letter addressed to the
foreign language newspapers IN
the appeal to the American People
to stop the manufacture of munitions
was read into the record by Maj
HuInes. In the letter Hammerline
said the expense was to be borne
through small contributions" where
as the testimony yesterday showed
the money was raised by Edward A
Rumely.
Vigorously denying any intention to
contribute to German propaganda,
Hammerifng said.
IF any one can prove that I was
engaged in German propaganda
want to be the first to be hung for it
The advertisement known as the
appeal to the American People" was
published in more than 400 news
papers, for which 100000 was paid
by Rumely. according to the evidence
but Maj. Humes told the committee
! that he has a number of letters from
foreign language papers saying they
received nothing for publishing the
advertisement.
! Defending himself against charges
of furthering German paganda
Hammerling described his support Of
\ the liberty loans. said he aided il
| floating French, Italian and other al
| lied war loans among foreigners, de
scribed his assistance in aiding II
the operation of the selective draf
| law. and displayed a letter from tht
office of the provost marshafs offfc,
commencing him for his activities il
that respect. He also declared tha
| when Leon Trotsky; now Russian for
+; eign minister, was in New York, /;
few years ago, Trotsky threatened hi.

apparently almost recovered from
her recent indisposition and is oc-
casionally seen with the former Ger
man emperor walking in the grounds
Of the castle here. The ex-empress,
according to good authority. con-
tributed largely to the decision of
her husband to sign his act of abdi-
cation. Her confidential informants
gave a gloomy account of the in

WAR BOARD EMPLOYEES

Gees Former Wife, and W. D.
Coan Arrested.

Arrests of three employees of the ma
tional, War Labor Board on the charge
of forging and uttering checks nave
been made by the United States secret
service. The amounts involved viii
total several thousands of dollars, 1T
is stated.
Edwin S. Gee. auditor of the board
and employed by the government for
twenty-five years, yesterday was
taken into custody in Chicago. Gee,
according to secret service officials.

of the penal code, which, in short, en-
DFdCcS lHe lOFSiHS anu ulSSFlH5 u

amounts from $125 to $195.

agents were put on Gees trail. and it
was learned that he and Coan were
leaving Washington last Saturday;
that they went TO Baltimore and
| boarded a train for Pittsburgh. Coan
| later returned to Washington. while
Gee went on to Chicago. Mrs. Niles
| remained in this city.

LONDON A|NDPAR|S
PRAISE ADDRESS
Morning Post Believes Presi-
DENTS Fourteen Points Too
Hastily Accepted by Allies.
APPEAL TO THE LIBERALS

LONDON, December 4.-Pragddent
Wilson's address to the American
Congress was extensively commented
upon by this mornings newspapers.
The Morning Post, while paying
tribute in the warmest terms to the
President and to American co-opera-
tion in the war, insists upon the i'm
fourteen points to the peace settle
ment being understood.
The newspaper thinks the points
were accepted too hastily by the al
lied governments. II relies, however,
upon the Presidents definition of
them as an outline of the basis OF
peace and regards them as "a serv-
iceable instrument with which to. be-
gin the work of securing peace"
everything depending upon their in
depreciation and application.
Want World Liberals to Organize.
The Daily News asks anxiously for
evidences of the acceptances Of the
spirit of the fourteen points, the let
ter of which was accepted with. one
exception by the allies. and deplores
'.the ominous absence of any consid-
cred or worthy reference to the su-
preme issue before the world in the
coalition governments appeal to the
electorate of Great Britain. 1t accuses
Premier Lloyd George of appealing TO
the mob instinct, talks OF under
ground Vaccinations to establlsn
conscription in Great Britain. and
then asks if the omens are better IN
France and Italy: :
.In all the world" it inquiries. who
are the statesmen who are backing s
not the letter but the spirit OF Presl-
dent Wilson's policy? The situation
is full of menace. If it is to be re-
deemed it must be by the peoples oi
every country. The liberal movemen,
| Of the world must organize against
| the forces which everywhere are con-
solidating to rob humanity of the
fruits of the sacrifices and restore the
old war-ridden world on a scale hith-
efto unimaEined."

Evidence of Brotherly Sympathy.

Gustave Herve in La Victoire writes:
"One passage of the message interests
US especially. 1t is that in which
President Wilson announces his inten-
tion of asking Congress to make a
special effort to help the economic
restoration of France and Belgium. 1t
is not without deep gratitude that
France and Belgium will learn of this
fresh demonstration of active and
brotherly sympathy on the part of the
American people"
Rene Daral, in the Gaulois. refers to
that part of the message dealing with
the Presidents visit to Europe, and
says:
The eminent statesman will not be
long in realizing that in the negotia-
tions of tomorrow the role of arbi-
traitor between the belligerents, if by
chance he thinks of assuming it. could
only foster hopes of intrigues by the
vanquished."
Evening star., 1918-12-04
Must Give and Take.

The Times, dwelling again with en-
phasis upon the great desire which 1t
declares the allies feel to have Presi-
dent Wilson's personal counsel i'll the
Interpretation and application Of the
basis of peace. says that If the hope
of framing a treaty by spring is to be
fulfilled, it is essential that President
Wilson and his associates on the
American delegation meet the allied
delegates in a spirit of give and take,
and that all the conferees should be
determined to establish quickly and
clearly the principles by which their
deliberations are to be governed.
The Daily Chronicle says that the
United States has obvious claims to a
leading part in the peace settlement.
President Wilson, it adds, proclaimed
to the world the principles now ac-
cepted by all parties, and his inter-
probation of them must be obtained
in the first instance.
The Daily Telegraph after extending
the heartiest of welcomes to President
Wilson for his approaching visit, ex-
presses the hope that the recent pre-
liminaries in London will result in an
absolute agreement upon the cardinal
issues. 1t sees no reason to expect
the President to take different view,
but it disavows the idea of presenting
him fixed program on his arrival.
