5 Speci0l Dispatch 10 The Trihunol


WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.--The de-
the House on Friday carries a pro-
vision that gives requisitioning au-
thority to the War Department for the
requirement of hotels, sanitariums,
etc, needed for hospitals and for Of
flee and other buildings. Real estate
men say that owing to the lack of
authority heretofore there is no doubt
that the government has been mulcted
right and left in its purchases and
leases of real estate.
The War Department. for example,
was in immediate need OF large hos
pital on the New Jersey coast. There
was no time to trade and dcker with
the owner, and the department had no
authority to take possession ani fix
the price. 1t is therefore paying a
rental of $4,000 year for this hos
pltal. which was formerly summer
hotel, sold to the present owner for
$4,000. Moreover, it is costing the
government $250,O0O to fit the place
up as hospital.
1t is stated that the government is
paying most extravagant rentals for Of
flee buildings in Washington, New York
and elsewhere.
The National Association OF Real Es-
tate Boards has been seeking to cen
tralize the governments real estate
operations, and is now handling the
negotiations in such matters for the
War Department and the housing bu-
ieau of the Labor Department.. 1t is
estimated that the association has
saved as much as 20 per cent on all
business that has been intrusted to
it. absolutely without charge. In one
instance it is known to have secured
land at so per cent less than would
have been paid, and in another case
IS per cent less. The association also

propaganda to discredt and impede in
every way the government in the
prosecution Of this war, with the pur-
pose Of defeating the objects for
which the government is spending
billions of dollars and probably will
be called upon to sacrifice thousands
Of lives"
The other official estimate Of "The
Leader" is the indictment of Berger
by the Federal Grand Jury last
March for alleged violation Of tho cs-
pionagc act "by means OF articles
printed in "Thc Milwaukee Leader y
The Indictment quotes five editorials
which also appear in whole or in part
in Burleson's brief.
The most charitable critics Of Bris-
bane say that many Of "The Leaders,
editorials to which the government
through the Postofficc Department,
took exception SO closely resemblcd
much Of the editorial matter in the
Hearst publications that it was only
natural for Hearst's editor to defend
them. Harshcr critics believe that
Brisbane "saw the handwriting on Che
wall" and feared that if "The Leader
were banned for antiwar propaganda
the next culprits would be the papers
Of his employer.
Supported Hearst Propaganda
Berger supported in "The Leader
most of the Hearst propaganda against
American participation in the war. He
made a tremendous effort to involve
us in conflict with Mexico. He at
tackled England and emphasized the
Irish question. He expressed great
admiration for "socialized Germany
and applauded German success in the
Balkans. He praised Germany's action
in regard TO Poland. He tried to keep
American passengers off armed liners
He impugned the good faith and
democratic purposes Of the Allies.
After America declared war Berger
followed many Of the leads of Hearst
and Brisbane. He continued to attack
England and dwell on Americas con-
ficts with the mother country. He
pictured America as forced into the
war against its will. He obstructed the
Capitalization Of the direction Of the
war in Washington. He emphasized
almost in the words of Brisbane the
amount of money ana the number OF
lives the war would cost He dwelt on
the historic precedent against foreign
entanglements. He was ever ready tc
make premature peace.
In August Of last year Berger urged
a peace conference at the same time
and almost in the same words as
Hearst. When the argument was ex-
pedient, Berger urged America to trust
to revolution in Germany to correct

Coal Demands Untitled

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-Coal pro-
duction during the first six months of
the 1918 coal year fell short by over
1000 ,000' tons of meeting the esti-
mated war fuel needs, according to
figures made public by the Geological
Survey to-day.
Production for the first nine months
of the calendar year of 1918 is esti-
mated at 447,905,672 net tons, an in
crease over the same nine months Of
last year of 36,179,7s3 net tons or ST.
per cent
The production of bituminous coal
during the week ended October 12 is
estimated at 1891 900 net tons, de-
crease compared with the week pre-
ceding of $4,000 net tons, but an in
crease over the corresponding week

abuses, provided AN Immediate peace
was made.
Took Additional Risk
Moreover, anti i-Brisbanc men point
out that through "The Leader" certain
forms Of Hearst's pre-war propaganda
were kept up which apparently seemed
too dangerous for great properties like
"The New York Americana and "The
Evening Journal to risk, once we were
at war. Such, in particular, was the
claim which Hearst made violently at
the end of March, 1917, that if the
United States went to war it would
only be in order to insure the safety
OF Wall Street Investments in foreign
oonds, foreign debts and American mu-
milton factories. Berger's paper kept
up this line Of attack during the whole
summer of 1917. when America was
actually at war;
Through "The Leader" something was
thus accomplished that Hearst and
Brisbane would not risk in their own
papers.
Here, taken from the brief Of Post
master General Burleson, are some of
the propaganda that Brisbane's money
III "The Leader" did share to make
possible:

Why We Are IN This War.
IT is, OF course, superfluous to ask
our government why We entered this
war. Any student Of economics and
observer Of national and international
politics knows very we'll why we have
entered.
First: The Entente Allies were
practically at the end of their rope. If
the United States had not entered the
war would nave been over by this time.
About $4,000 100000 of notes and other
obligations which the Allied powers
owe to Morgan, Schwab 6; Co.--to the
munltion makers and exporters Of all
kinds Of war material in America
might not have been worth much more
than so cents if the Allies would have
lost the war
Second: Industrial stocks of certain
called war babies in
Wall Street-have reached fabulous
prices. Their very existence depends
upon the continuance of this war"
