'"WO. . - r '- i - HON PROPAGANDA vTried'to top Munitions Manu- factiirers With Advertising. A' 'XAMtei - ftepafclietm Oaaipigii, De clare He Thought Qrnany ,Ws Getting aiumltlons. , Washington. Dec. 3. Organization in,19J5 of a $200,000 advertising cam paign by which it was hoped to stop th" manufacture 4n the United States of munitions for the allies was admit ted by' Louis J. JIammerling, presi- "-flent of the American 'association of foreign language newspapers, in tes tifying today before the senate com mittee' investigating activities" of brewers and German . propagandists. Edward A. Rumely, recently owner of the New York Evening Mail, and JJr, Jleinrich F. Albert, a German propagandist, .were connected with the campaign by the witnesses, who de clared that the money for the inser tion of the advertisements in practi cally "all of -the 619 newspapers of the -association of which he is presi dent was contributed largely by Rume- , y. He said his dealings with Albert consisted in the collection through the German 'propagandist of a" proportion of the ?200,000 which Rumely con tributed. Hammerling denied upon Question ing any connection- or acquaintance ship with former German Ambassador Bernstorff and sought to justify his part in the advertising campaign with the statement that he believed the mu nitions being manufactured in this country were being shipped to Ger many. "Was it for the almighty dollar, or to help Gennanw. or to help human ity?" asked Senator Nelson of Min nesota. "It was a help to humanity," re , plied Hammerling, "and I also was riad to get the advertising. If I had ,ny idea that 'it was in the interests Df the German government I would not have done it. I thought the muni tions were being sent, to Germany." Other activities of Hammerling, in cluding his connection with the repub lican national committee in 1908, in an advertising capacity; and his embarka tion in. the advertising business in New fork in 1904 at the solicitation of the republican national committee and Jeijator Penrose of Pennsylvania, also rere brought out at today's hearing. The committee also inquired into a possible connection between the for eign language newspaper association nd the United States Brewers asso ciation. The brewers subsidiary, Ham merling admitted, paid his organiza tion 531,640 in 1916 for translating ar ticles on "personal liberty" appearing In the foreign language newspapers. w york state youths to have: military training New York, Dec. 3.

Lord Bryce says, however: "I can not think that this omission was due to Any doubt as to the neces sity, and indeed the .solemn-duty. of delivering, all the Armenian districts utterly and forever from- any vestige of Turkish rule." The British govern ment, he continues, has pledged itself "o frequently and clearly to. this de liverance, and, as we understand, both President Wilson and the French gov ernment have expressed themselves so strongly in favor of such a policy, that we can not doubt the honeet purpose of- the government." "It need hardly be said," the. state ment goes on, -"that to leave the East ern Christians of, Armenia and Syria under Turkish rule would excite the warmest indignation all over the coun try, and If possible still warmer indig nation in the United States, where the interest in Armenia has been extreme ly great and. has been evinced by the enormous contributions which have been made to the relief of the Armen ian refugees. . "Can anybody in this country be found who thinks that after the three hideous massacres which the Turks have perpetrated in" Armenia since 1895, culminating in the worst massa cre of all in 19i5, when 800,000 Chris tians perished, it would be possible for any Christian power, or indeed any power of human feeling, to leave the Turk free to begin oppressions afresh, or to fail to show by turning the Turk out of the country the angerand hor ror whicfi his cruelties have excited I need hardly add that the "Presence of Turkish rule in these regions, with their great strategical importance, would be material to Germany If ever she saw her chance, in realising her scheme for pushing her influence to wards Persia, and Central Asia. "One falls to see any reason why the Turks, being absolutely at the mercy of the allies, and having committed, with the tacit approval of Germany, the hugest single crime that has been conymitted in the whole course of the war, should not have been compelled to an absolutely unconditional surren der. Why should any favorable condi tions have been granted to them who have shown that, whether under Abdul Hamid or under ruffians like Enver and Talaat, they are capable of the most revolting crimes?"
