send correct" German news direct
from Berlin to American news
papers. The idea was for DR.. Hale
to make his headquarters in Ger
many and from there send news in
such form as to make it acceptable
to American editors.
This was one of the matters under
discussion about the time Dr. Rumely
appeared on the scene. When he first
came to the German publicity bureaus
Office in Broadway he and DR.. Hale
were on the friendliest of terms.
The proposal that newspaper be
purchased to give the correct German
aspect of the news" had already been
made. According to members of the
bureau, they understood that when the
arrangements were completed Dr. Hale
was to control it and they received
assurances that they would be taken
care of in the new organizations
SO we'll did this idea appeal to those
interested in spreading German prop
aganda that there were at least three
such plans under consideration. They
differed merely in the manner of fnan-
cling the undertaking.
One group of Germans were engaged
in soliciting contributions for the es-
tablishment of newspaper. This
group had its headquarters in the
American Tract Society Building at 15O
Nassau Street.
A second group was represented by
Hugo Schweitzer, who was generally
believed at the publicity bureau to rep
resent large amount Of German
American capital. The third idea was
for the publicity bureau to purchase
openly a metropolitan newspaper.
This last plan was the one in which
Dr.. Hale was most interested and was
the only one which he insists would
have been in keeping with his policy
