BERNSTORFF ADVOCATES
 PRO O-AMEFNCAN FOLEY

Berlin, July 13.-(By The A. P.)- Count Von Bernstorff, former German amba assador at Washington. writing in the weekly Democratic Germany, ad- vocates a pro-American policy and points out that revision of the treaty of peace can come only through the Leage of Nations.
 When Germany is received into the league" he says. "she can hope for a world order checking imperialism by individual powers and bringing about a system binding peoples together across the frontiers of states l hard ly need to point out that such policy would lead us to the side of the United States There the idea of a League of Nations is a living one. There alone are funds to be found, and there the principal champion of the league will be at the helm for another twen- ty montns.''
 Count Won Bernstorf says that so- cialism is unpopular in the United States, and, therefore, if Germans wish to cultivate friendly relations with that country. they must convince Americans not only that militarism is dead, but that new Germany has no intention of fostering socialist world revolution

CHARGE OF CRIMINAL MISUSE
 OF PUBLIC FUNDS

Washington, July 13. = Affidavits 1 purporting to show criminal misuse of public funds by the spruce production 1 division of the army air service, col 1 lected during the past year by the ! Providence Journal have beensssui5a i mitted to the special house committee Investigating war department expendi- lures and are being investigated by sub committees of which Representa- tive F'rear of Wisconsin is chair man.
 According to a statement authoriz- ed by MT. Frear. the affidaVits allege that contracts for spruce production and railroad construction on the Pa cifie coast were awarded under the cost plus system to companies which had no practical experience in the work. with the result that great sums of money were wasted. Dishonest
 methods were used by the companies. it is charged, to obtain larger fees
 from the government.
 Charges are made" the statement
 says. that the government was sub
 jected, under the cost-plus system, to
 cost practically $650 per thousand
 feet for spruce when private con-
 cerns were procuring the same kind
 for from s130 to SITS.
 "The affidavits assert that the
 waste caused by companies in building camps in inaccessible localities ran into many thousand dollars, that there
 was an utter lack of proper care of fOOdStu1rS and that Tn many cases hundreds of dollars worth of flour lard even paper were carelessly thrown away Tn one instance, even stoves were left exposed to the wealth CT and ruined.
 There are affidavits alleging that
 miles and miles of two inch plank road were built into the forests and never used, and camps constructed where spruce was fell but not an inch ever brought out"
 Colonel Bryce P, Disque, former chief of the spruce production, is criticized in the affiidavits for hav- ing adouted wasteful methods for the production of spruce, for having poor judgment in the lumber tracts be worked, and for having often revers- ed himself in decisions. By his adop- tion of a process for splitting logs. it is charged. only 10000 feet of timber was obtained from 5000 OOu of logs by one mill and only five per cent. of the timber was fit for airplane stock.

AUDIENCE OF 5o,ooo HEARD
 TRISH REPUBLIC" LEADE

Chicago, July 13.-An audience Of 50,000 persons. il was estimated today heard Eamonn de Valera, president of | the Irish "republic," appeal for aid and recognition of Irish independence. ,sft was an open air meeting held at the | Chicago National League baseball park where all seas were taken and nearly all available space occupied.
 MT. De Valera, when he rose to speak, was greeted by a demonstra- tion of cheering that lasted 31 min utes.
 The crowd was enthusiastic but some of the spectators indulged iu hissing the names of President VII son. Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, and Sir Edward Carson Irish Unionist leader, were mentioned. Per sons on the speakers platform, how ever, soon stopped those demonstra- tions.
 MT. De Valera expressed confidence that Americans sympathized with the Irish independence movement, and hoped that the American government would recognize the "de ture" gov ernment. of Ireland.
 Frank P. Walsh and Edward IT, Dunne members of the delegation sent by Irish societies in America to pre- sent to the peace conference a petition for settlement of the Irish question, and Mayor Williams Hale Thompson of Chicago, were other speakers.
 NIr Walsh referred to Premier Lloyd George as the truck mule Of Great Britian." whose actions, he said. nobody could forecast.
 Resolutions that congress be urged to recognize the Irish republic as now established" and to establish trade re- lations with Ireland for the benefit of American commerce and labor, and strongly opposing the League of Ma tions were adopted with enthusiasm. The league it was declared. would impair American sovereignty and would imperil the constitution, destroy the Monroe Doctrine and would guar antee the world supremacy of the two remaining despotic empires of the world-Great Britain and Japan"
 MT. De Valera said he might be ask ed why he came to America first, rath- CT than to some other country. It was not so much. he said because of the large population of Irish blood, or not even that the Americans are liber- ty-loving people, "but it is because we know that this nation is big enough to be able to stand up and fol- low it's own will, irrespective of whether John Bull liked it or not"

 UP AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING

Melbourne. Australia, July 13.--Vir- tually all shipping in the harbors of Melbourne and Sydney has been tied up in consequence of the seamen's strike which began several months ago in Queensland and has extended to Victoria and New South Wales. The resultant shortage of coal will be the most disastrous feature of the strike and the cessation of interstate trade is already being felt in Queensland, the supply of wheat and flour having been cut off.
 The New South Wales government has ordered a secret ballot to test the aceling Of seamen regarding a con-' tinuation of the strike. The union IS said to be entirely in favor of settling the dispute by arbitration.
 Acting Prime Minister Watt was re- quested by the Queensland govern ment for permission to charter cargo vessels to relieve the situation. but Mir Watt withheld consent pending certain conferences which were to be held in Melbourne.

Increase Expected
 to Stop Strike
Employers of Coast-Wide Vessels Given Advance Ap- proximately Ten Per Cent.
 End of Shipping Tieup Looked For.

Washington, July 13.-Wage in
 creases approximating 10 per cent vessels operated from Atlantic and Gulf ports by the shipping board. The advance. announced after an all day conference of shipping board officials rine engineers, f~emen and oilers which began last / thursday.
 Deck officers and seamen are affect ed by the increase as well as water tenders. oilers. engineers. firemen, scale will apply only to employees on shipping board operated vessels, it was said by officials. it undoubtedly would form the basis for new wage agreements to be concluded between private lines and their employees. As such agreements are made. it is ex- pected that the striking marine work CTS will return to their work, thereby ending the tieup of Atlantic and Gulf shipping in effect for the past four days.
 Ordinary seamen are given an in- crease of $5 month, making the new scale s60. Under the new rate able Seamen will receive $S5 a month. an increase of $10. Although no official announcement was made as to in creases for other employees. it was understood that water tenders. oilers and storekeepers under the Or /r will have their pay increased froT~ $50 to $90; hremen from $lo to $So; WlperS and coal passerS from $65 to $75, and deck engineers and pump men from $85 to $95. The chief stewards yill re- ceive increases of $15 a month. and cooks and mess men of $10.
 The wage scales are based on the eight hour day in port. which general ly has been in effect. The board an nounced however, that at this time it "could not favorably consider the three watch system for deck crews be- cause this would tend to increase the size of the crew at this time when there is a shortage of sailors" The order also provides for creation of a joint grievance committee in the principal ports to interpret the agree ment and other regulations.
 American merchant Seamen, here tofore the highest paid in the world, are under the new scale, officials said, given another advantage over those sailing under other flags.

MAY ASK COUNT KAROLY
 TO RESUME LEADERSHIP

Vienna, Friday, July 11.-(By The A. P0-One of the solutions sug- gesfted here for a way out of the present political situation in Hun gary is that Count Michael Karolyi again assume the presidency which he surrendered to the communists sever al months ago. It is said that Karolyi is the only prominent man left in Hungary who can steer a middle course between all parties. However it is understood, Count Karolyi is still stoutly opposed to the Hungarian ter ritorial changes adopted by the peace conference and would not accept the leadership of the government with the present boundaries after having turned over the government to the commun- iSts fo rthat reason
