HALE AND UNTERMYER
DENY ANY CONNECTION
WITH HUN PROPAGAN DA
FORMER SAYS HE GOT MOTH
ING FROM GERMANY WHILE
CORRESPONDENT.

Ne wYork, Dec. IA denial that
he ever had served as agent, counsel
or in any capacity in the interests OF
the German government was issued
here tonight by Samuel Untermeyer
who asserted that his suggestion in
1910 to DR.. II. +. Albert, CONNER
cial attache OF the German embassy,
that the latter acquire an interest
in a New York newspaper, was 4
purely personal negotiation.
As far back as 1911, Mr.. Inter
myer said, he and a group OF friends
had considered acquiring control OF
a metropolitan journal and DR.. Al
bert had shown interest in the pro-
iect. When an apparent opportunity
to carry out the plan developed, Mr.
Untermeyer stated, he offeFed the
German attache minority interest.
Though holding the propriety OF
any lawyer serving as a legal coun-
selor to the German government in
this country while the United States
was neutral. Mr.. Untermyer stated
that he repeatedly had refused to
perform professional services for
Ambassador Won Bernstorff and his
associates. He told the Germans, he
added, that he was under obligations
to the British people, many OF whose
interests he had represented in this
country for long period OF years.
DR.. William Bayard Hale issued
a formal statement tonight denying
that he had received funds from the
German government while he was
serving in Berlin as special cores
pondent OF the New York Ameri-
can.
The statement" said DR.. Hale,
bv whomsoever made, that while in
the employ of the New York Amer
can, I ever received one penny from
the German government or from
anybody connected with the German
government, directly or indirectly, is
false.
"The allegation that the German
government or that anybody con-
1ccsed with the German govern
nent, directly or indirectly, contrib ,
itcd one cent toward the payment OF
NY expenses in Berlin is false"

HONOLUIANS SERVE
COUNTRY ON WATER

Honolulu, T. H, Feb. 20.-Hardly
had the echoes of President Wilson'S
declaration of war against Germany
died out when an American warship
slipped quietly out of Honolulu har-
Dor and not until it had been on the
Atlantic Ocean and in service did
Honolulans know much concerning
the crew of Hawaiian Naval Reserves.
The reserves had never dreamed of
being called into active service so
early, or of being taken away so far
when they paraded here on Washing
tons Birthday last year. AS the boys
swung through the streets in their
white uniforms, they evoked enthusi-
astic applause from the thousands lin
ing the thoroughfares. Two months
later they were sailing down the Pa
cific coast, passed through the Canal
and emerged into the Atlantic.
The Hawaiian Naval Reserves were
practically the first unit Cf civilian
bluejackets to take to the deep blue
sea in defense of their country. Little
has been heard of them, except in
occasional post cards from Boston or
other Atlantic ports, but they are
known wherever they go, for the uku-
lele and guitar are certain parts of
their travel kit and ashore their melo-
dies Of Hawaii mel make them favor
ties. None of them has yet returned
to Honolulu and probably none will
be seen here until the close of the
war permits them to be mustered out
of service.

BACKING UP PROOF
The Kind That Bridgeport
People Cannot Deny.

Many an earnest Bridgeport man or
woman has publicly endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month you've read their statements.
Would these Bridgeport people rec
ommend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat their
statements after years had passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Bridgeport woman
statement leaves no room for doubt.
1t must convince every kidney suf-
ferer who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by the experience of
Mrs. J. Carrier, All Central Ave. She
says: "I had a dull pain in my back
across my kidneys. l was sore and
lame and tired very easily. Ny kid
neys acted irregularly and I had other
symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan's
Kidney Pills quickly relieved me-"
Statement given September 23, 1914.)
SOME TIME LATER, Mrs. Carrier
said: INV former statement endorsing
Doan's kidney Pills still holds good. I
keep them in the house all the time
and receive prompt relief from their
use"

BELIEVE FINAL
TAX Rate LESS
Than Y MILLS

A preliminary tax rate Of 22.4 mills
based on the estimated grand list of
S195, 100000, was set Ivy the Board of
Apportionment yesterday afternoon.
The final rate it is estimated, will be
q few tenths of mill under % mills.
The preliminary rate is for appro-
priations totalling $4,702,990.96, di-
Vided as follows: First district, $2,-
247,T61.76, 81 mills, and Second dis
trict, $2,455 ,229.2O. 1877 mills.
The board was forced to do consid-
cradle pruning. From the requisition
of the Streets and Sidewalks commit
tee for new paving for $4OO,6O9, the
sum of S300,609 was sliced, and the
total request Of $1,109,100 for new
sewers was entirely eliminated.
Harry E. Hustled, a member of the
subcommittee on miscellaneous re-
QUESTIONS, recommended that the
War Bureaus request for SIS 900 be
granted.
The reduisition Of the Board Of Po-
HoA Commissioners for SO new police
men was cut to Is men upon the
recommendation of Sigmund Loewith
The Board of Educators budget
was cut the least of any. This requi-
sition totalling $S5e,275, was left in
tact except for the slicing of $1,000
from the request of $4,000 for sup
Elementary books.
The board will meet again on Tues
day when the final tax rate will be
set.

CHOLM TRANSFER
is HELD Up ON
Poles PROTEST

Vienna, Tuesday, Feb. 10, via Lon
don, Feb. 20-Dr. Won Seydler, the
Austrian premier, announced in the
Reichsrat today that an agreement
had been signed not to transfer Cholm
to the Ukraine, but to decide its fate
by a commission.
Much feeling has been aroused
among the Poles through the fact that
the old province of Cholm, a part of
Poland had been given to the Ukraine
by the peace treaty signed in Brest-
Iltovsk. The attitude of Polish repu-
ties in the Austrian parliament also
threatened the stability of the Won
Seydler government, whose resigna-
ton was declined by Emperor Charles
on Feb. 8. Strikes of protests against
the ceding of Cholm have been held
in both Russian and Austrian Polish
cities.
Article of the treaty of peace with
the Ukraine gives the frontier of the
new country as including Cholm. It
adds, however, that the frontier will
be fixed in detail by a mixed com
mission according to ethnographical
conditions and with a regard to the
desires of the population. The popu-
lation of Cholm is made UP of various
races and formerly was included in
Poland. A great part of it, however,
was included in Great Russia by the
.lssian government when it realigned
the frontiers of Poland.

Hartford, Feb. 20,-''The welfare of
all labor, 10th organized and morgan
lied, is at stake in the shipyards. 1t
is only through shipyard labor that
relief to labor throughout the nation
can come"
These statments are made by Will
liam Blarkman, director of labor for
the Emergency Fleet corporation, in
vitality important statement on the
present labor and shipbuilding situ-
alton as it affects the business Of the
country, received from him today by
the Connecticut State Council of De-
tense and made public by the council.
The State Council of Defense is CO.
operating with Leo A. Korper, federal
director for Connecticut, of the Pub
lie Service Reserve, in the enrolment
in this state of men for the United
States Shipyard Volunteers.
Mr. Blackman's statement, in full,
follows:
This war can he won through the
construction this year by the United
States and her allies of 100000 tons
of shipping. This amount will not
only overcome the submarine losses,
but will also leave the margin neces-
sary to care for the transportation OF
1. 500 900 American troops and supplies
overseas.
Partial relief, but in a military
sense only, is being obtained from the
less vital import trades. Under the
Presidents order this work is now
being undertaken by joint orgea MIA
ton on the part of the s. HJplng
Board and the War Trade Board.
While raw materials absolutely neces-
sary to supply the country's vital
necessities will, of course, be per-
mitted to enter our ports, it is now
necessary to reluctantly, but drastic
ally curtaiI the importation of sup
plies for the manufacture of non
essentials This to enable the ship
ping used for this trade to be released
for war purposes.
"In spite of this method for OBJ
tanning partial relief, the only real
answer to the problem is ship con-
struction. This construction not only
depends for it's success upon labor,
but the very life of labor itself de-
ponds on the construction. This be-
cause 100000 men are employed
in the manufacturing plants of the
United States today, ofw hom $780,
900 are working on war materials and
subsidiary industries alone. All of
these men are threatened with forced
shut downs and these shut downs are
absolutely inevitable unless the ships
are built Even the trades Directly
manufacturing war supplies and the
munitions plants themselves face a
limitation of their output.
This is plain on its face, for not
only are the ports and docks damned
with supplies for overseas, but there
are, in the seacoast terminals alone,
more than 10000 freight cars loaded
with supplies for Europe, literally
mountains of materials for which
there is insufficient shipping tonnage.
mo greater surplus of supplies can
possibly be permitted to accumulate
in these ports even though the esti-
mated amount of war supplies need
! ed this year for overseas shipment
will total S,500,O00 tons.
