William Bayard Hale Denies Contract With Bernstorff to Do German Propaganda Work

NEW YORK, Dec. 9. -Dr. Hale dic-

' tated the following statement In eon

nectlon with the terstimony given be

fore the senate committee at Wash

lngton In the InTestlsatlon of alien

propaganda:

"It Is false that I had any contract with Count von Bernstorff or with any

body connected with the German government till June 23, 1918. or with any

body on earth, German, Turk, or Hotr

tcntot, except The New Tort Ameri

can.

"It is false that I erer sat in council with Count Ton Bernstorff. I never saw the German Ambassador except

for, perhaps, two minutes one day in the spring of 1916, when, on my way to the steamship, I called at the Rltz-

Carlton and got a perfunctory letter

from him, half printed and half written, Buch as he gave to all coriesgiyidents about to go abroad. Denies Attending Conference.'

"I never atended a conference at

the Rltz-Carlton. I never, otherwise,

exchanged a word with Mr. Bernstorff

by post, telephone or messenger. "It Is perfectly well known that In the year 1914-15 I was adviser to the German Information Service,' a press organization conducted openly and above board at Madison Square, supplying about a thousand American newspapers with arguments on the German side. I resigned in November, 1915, at the end of my year's contract "In the early summer of 1916 I was solicited by the editors of The New York American to go to Central Europe as the American's chief continental correspondent, I Judged because of my acquaintance In Germany and Austria. After much hesitation and one or two positive refusals, I consented to go. While in Central Europe, that is, up to April, 1917, I discharged the ordinary duties of a foreign correspondent to the best of my poor ability. What Mr. Hearst and Mr. Hearst's immediate representatives had In mind when In May, 1916, they persuaded me to go to Berlin for them, I do not know. Works Hard as Reporter. "I only know that they were insistent and that I finally consented to make the trip. I was provided with a private secretary, and the salary and expense account were in accord with Mr. Hearst's liberal ideas. For a year I did the best that in me lay to earn my salary. When I found that The American's- cables were not going through, I voluntarily offered tl suspend the contract under which I was working. "It is false that the German foreign office sent me to Bucharest in the fall of 1916 In an effort to persuade Rumania to keep out of the war. It would be delightful to be the hero of a romance like that, but, unhappily, it Is rather too wild a yarn. I did go to Rumania at that critical time, and my dispatches will show how hard I worked as a reporter. "Referring to the alleged dispatch of Bernstorff's, which says: 'I suggest that the time is favorable to send a first-class Journalist to Berlin, and the man chosen is William Bayard Hale,' Is dated June 2, 1916. I was not In America on that date, and I had already sailed, in total ignorance of the favor which Count von Bernstorff gratuitously proposed to bestow upon me. Another alleged dispatch from von Bernstorff, 'Hale tells me,' and si forth. This dispatch is dated on June5, 1916. I was in Scotland, and could not have very well told von Bernstorff anything. "As to the evening report of Mr.

Adv

Blelaski, representing him as referring to records of correspondence between von Bernstorff and myself, I repeat that I never saw Bernstorff for more that a minute and a half In my life, and I never exchanged a dozen words with him. The story from Washington today includes the weird tale from an Atlanta prisoner named Wunnenberg in which my name is used. This yarn Is not only totally false, but is especially ridiculous. "It is inconceivable that Mr. Blelaski should have testified that my wife is German. I bate to go Into such a matter, but the fact is, Mr. Blelaski has sat at our table, eaten our bread, and played with the children, and he knows that we are all native Americans. He has simply been misquoted." This is not the first time that Or. Hale's name has appeared In the propaganda investigation. He has been named several times by Deputy Attor

ney Alfred L. Becker as one of the American citizens who was intimately connected with propaganda work prior to this country's entry into the war. Dr. Hale was for a time .during the first year of the war, the editor In charge of the propaganda sheet which was Issued daily by the German information service. Mr. Becker has also charged that he was a member of the German' Propaganda Council, which in the first months of the war held its sessions in a building in Broadway, near Twenty-eighth street. Dr. Dernburg, Dr. Albert, Dr. Fuehr, and other prominent German propagandists were members of this council.

The Unselfish Gift No other gift can bring such all-'round pleasure to so many people as The Brunswick Phonograph. The entire family and all one's friends can participate in this enjoyment. r S It is for this reason so many people choose The Brunswick as a Christmas gift and why so many families "pool" their Christmas money; so that all gain far more satisfaction than in receiving'small, individual presents. The tendency this Christmas is a "worth while present for all" rather than "a knick-knack for each." The Brunswick is an ideal choice. It will prove an everpresent delight for years to come. This super-phonograph plays all records as they should be played the tone is superb. Hear it today. Decide early. Avoid the rush later. ". - " ' -:.-.. "-. ' ' -
