American observers deduce from the pressing invita tion to the president to come to England during Christmas time that some conferences of the statesmen with the president tbefe would logically follow. It is understood however, that the president! favors the holding of all conferences in Paris as far as possible.

I Former German Ambassador Von Bernstorff assented so readily to Bo- lo's proponal that the German govern ment advance the money to purchase the Journal, the witness said, that the New York Investigators proceeded on the theory that Mr. Hearst migTlt have arranged the purchase before Bolo came to the United States. On this point, however, Mr. Becker said: ''I do not sa.y today that I consider this theory In any way established." The witness salij there was no evi dence of a news connection ' between the Journal and the Hearst newspa pers. In the early days of the European war. Mr. Becker testified, offering document In substantiation, the prop aganda movement in the United 8tates was financed in this way: The Ger man government deposited 25.000,000 marks of war notes dated August 12, 1914, with M.

Th entire day wa taken up with th examination, of Colonel Charles K. Lydecker, presi dent of the league, but many other official of the organization will be heard later. Colonel Lydecker told th commit tee that the avowed purpose of th league last fall was to return to con gress men wKh broad vision and fore sight and "who would be 100 per cent American in Jheir beliefs." "Not to mention any names," Col onel Lydecker said, . "I can aafely say that I would have been sorely disap pointed to have seen certain Congress men returned to office. Our efforts were used against those men, some of whom seemed decidedly pro-German and many were defeated, In some In stances by fusion." Pamphlets giving eight "acid tests" by which the loyalty of congressmen should be Judged were circulated throughout the country, Colonel Ly decker said. These teats, he aald, were the votes of members on prepared ness measures which had been before congress and which the league believ ed were for the welfare of the coun try. Names of congressmen who vot ed against the measures were includ ed in the pamphlet. "At no time during the campaign was the league influenced by any partisan or political considerations" Colonel Lydecker said. "It was actuated solely by a desire to see the coifntry end the war as speedily as possible. The acid tests , were . criticised by several members of the committee as being unjust. Many preparedness measures,, were not Included which were Just as important as the eight given, members stated. Colonel Lydecker stated that the expenses of the league from Septem ber I. 1917. to August 31. 1918, amounted to 1226.018 and the receipts totalled $284, S68 In the same period. During the congressional campaign, he stated, the league spent $6, 993. t1 for pontage, salaries, printing, furni ture and other expenses. The recelpta for this campalun amounted to $8, 752 85 Hecords of the league were brought to the hearing for examination by the committee.

There la Mill much uncertainty whether the smslons of the Versailles conference will be open to the publio or be secret.

These funds' were distributed by Count Von Bernstorff and Albert, according to the witness. Referring to the plot by Captain Hans Tauscher. a German reserve of ficer, to foment rebellion in India, Mr. Becker read an affidavit by Abraham Stein, of New York, saying that an unnamed German came to him before the United States entered the war and asked if the -company 'had trade con nections in the Dutch Kaat , Indie where the German wanted to send a quantity of riflea and ammunition. The conrfnlttee received a telegram loday from Samuel Unlerniyer of New York, saying that a letter written by Dr H. F. Albert In 1916 to Captain Von l'apen outlining Albert's opposi tion to the resumption by Germany of unrestricted submarine warfare, was an expression of the view of the Influential members of ther Ger man hassy at that time. For that reason, Mr. t'ntermyer said, he waa snlirttioos at that time that nothing be done to impair Albert's usefulness In inducing the - German fvmmand oat to bsjein a new U-boat canapalgm. f CAKES FOR SOLDIERS.
