PRO-GERMANISM PREACHED IN U.S. i S o m c Teutonic Pastors Who Joined Army Now in Atlanta Prison AIDED IN PROPAGANDA By the Associated Press Washington, Dec. 14. German Lutheran pastors were In structed to preach pro-German sermons before the United States entered the war. Captain Lester, of the army Intelli gence service, told the Senate ' propa ganda investigating committee today, and some of the pastors who joined the army later and continued preaching fa vorably to Germany now are In the At lanta penitentiary. On the other hand, Captain Lester said, other Lutheran ministers were wholly loyal nnd aided in giving the Government information. He said repre sentatives of the larger German Lutheran synods informed the Intelligence service that unfortunately some ministers were disloyal and that steps were being taken to get them oul of the' church. Describing unsuccessful cfforls of Ger man propagandists among American negroes, the witness said word was passed among the negro recruits that if Germany won and occupied the United States a portion of the country wouiu be turned over to them exclusively. The witness told the committee that the German Government for many years had subsidized Kropp Institute, a Luth eran theological seminary, graduates of which went to all parts of the world to preach In favor of Germany, with their expenses paid by the German Govern ment, ho said. Cablegram's fiom William Bayard Hale to the New York American late In 1910 and eurly in 1917 were read by Captain Lester to support his assertions that Hale's utterances were "pro-German, antl-Engllsh and antl-Amerlcan." Many of these messages were sent arter the severance of diplomatic relations be tween the United States and Germany through German wireless to Tuckerton.

CRITIC Stotesbury Shown Wrong in Advising Coniplain- ants to Buy Stock SKIP-STOP IRE ROUSED The remedy suggested by 11 T. Stotes bury for curing complaints against the Kapld Transit Company's cars will not quite do. His contention that purchase of the company's stock will cause the buyer to cease complaining is disproved by Simon Werthelmer, of 2107 Venango street. He has seven hundred shares of stock in the company and in his complaint Is vigorous and to the point. He de clares that the skip-slop system is a bone-headed arrangement and the state ments on thp propaganda cards Issued by the company constitute an; insult to the intelligence of the people. It was In the courBe ot an address before the Five o'clock Club that Mr. Stotesbury made announcement to the effect that purchase of 1000 shares ot stock would cuie peiso,ns of complain ing. He was speaking then of a woman who complained against the grinding wheels ot the trolles, but not even a Mitten against the ear will soften the wall against the skip-stop. Mr Werthelmer Is specially opposed to tho skip-stop nt Twenty-second ana Venango streets. Hecently his brother's automobile was damaged as a result of that skip, he says. He went to the Of fice of the Uapjd Transit Company, but received little ' satisfaction, he said, despite the announcement on the cars that the public should "Know- the Truth."
