To long to the "Same Old Gang Who Tried to Put Over Defeatest Prop aganda In Prance and Italy." New York, Nov. 8. "Dr. Mathias kirzberger, head of the German dele gation sent to confer with Marshal Foch on the armistice terms, belongs to the same old gang that tried to put over German defeatest propaganda in Italy and France," according to a statement tonight by Alfred L. Becker, deputy state attorney-general. The statement dealt with testimony taken here for the French government in the treason case of Bolo Pasha and Sena tor Humbert of France. Mr. Becker asserted that although Germany is loudly proclaiming her "democratization," she haB sent on the present Important mission "the great propagandist who, with Von Jagow, former German foreign minister, ar ranged for the disbursement of funds In Italy and France," to purchase newspapers and political leaders. According to Mr. Becker, he estab lished Erzberger's connection with the defeatest propaganda through Prince Koureddin Vlora, of Albania, who came to this city about a year ago, after having married Mrs. Helen Kelly Thomas in Paris, and partly through Salih Gourdjl, former head of the Ot toman telegraphic news agency in Constantinople who was forced out by German influence and is now living in this city. While the prince was in Switzerland in 1915, Mr. Becker said, Abbah Hilmi, former khedive of Egypt, who was al so at Lucerne, received two million marks from the? German government for propaganda purposes and sent a large part of it to Bolo Pasha, through Filippo Cavalline, now imprisoned in Italy. "In November, 1915," said Mr. Beck er, "Erzberger and Von Jagow reach- ' ed the conclusion that Hilmi was a grafter and Erzberger went to Lu cerne and called on Hilmi. Up to then Hilmi had had five million for propa- . ganda purposes. Two millions of this had gone to Bolo; 1,000,000 had gone to Cavallinie to corrupt Italian politic ians and newspapers and Hilmi has received two millions as his commis sion. There was some argument over it, but In the end Erzberger gave Hilmi a receipt in full. BHIPMAN Will BE SOLICITOR THOUGH ANOTHER WAS ELECTED (Special Star Correspondence) Raleigh, Nov. 8.
