Snyder Reviews the Truck Purchase Auditor General Snyder, who held a hearing in his investigation into the purchase of trucks for the State High way Department, issued a statement of almost 1,200 words, late to-day, re viewing the testimony presented to him. He says that evidence was pre sented to him that Herman H. May was approached by Harry Dipple, who was a sealer of weights and measures when Mr. O'Nell was com missioner of Allegheny county, and who is alleged to have said that he could arrange the sale of trucks if the commissions were paid to him. It is also said that "Dipple stated to May that the .money would not go to him personally, bitt would be used as a part of the campaign fund of his friend, Denny O'Neil. and his candi dacy for Governor of Pennsylvania." W. H. Moore, another witness, is stat ed to have said that he was approach ed by Dipple, who said he could put him in touch with the State Highway Department in relation to purchase of trucks. "From Mr. Moore's testimony it appeared that Mr. Dipple's proposi tion to him was predicated oh the payment to him of a commission for obtaining the business which he be lieved to be in prospect." Mr. Snyder also says that J. H. Phil lips, a salesman, testified that when he went to see O'Neil and O'Neil said that he should have nothing to do with "small ward grafters," and that any sales would be made without graft and entirely upon competitive bidding. The Auditor General also says that Dipple said that the men who testified about him were "liars" and thta he never approached any of them. In closing. Mr. Snyder says, it is "too serious a matter to close up at this time." He also comments upon the fact that the orilers for trucks bought after the transaction were not placed in Pittsburgh. U. S.

TEUTON PRESS DENIES PLOT Alleged to Be Engineered by Entente to Smash Ger man Army Now York. —A mysterious plot against Field Marshal Von Hlnden burg and General Von LudendortT, especially against the latter, alleged to be engineered b ythe Enutente to bring about the collapse of the Ger man army, is discussed in a recent issue of the Frankfurter Zeitung, copies of which have just reached New York. The article in part fol lows: "Unhappily we are obliged to ad mit that the miserable method of suspecting of disloyalty! all those who doubt or criticise is no longer new in Germany. In Frafice this unhealthy trend of thought has de veloped to a considerable degree, ljut there are many signs that with us, too, a mood is forming which l'avors similar symptoms. Clarity and frankness are the best weapons in combating it. "If there is any knowledge in of ficial quarters of alleged intrigues by the Entente against our high command, let them be exposed for all the world to see! Away with the mysterious backstairs gossip! Let us have clear, open, unmistaka ble language. A stop should be put to dark hints and warnings framed in the style of detective novels. "They only serve to increase the already existing feeling of uncer tainty and distrust and make an impression of a high degree of irri tation—an impression which can only do us harm, both at home and abroad. Report in Several Papers "Certain newspapers of pan-Ger man or conservative complexion have Just printed an almost identi cal report regarding alleged Entente propaganda against the person of First Quartermaster General Von Ludendorff, a report which is apt to create a sensation and anxiety. "Colncidently with the efforts of the Russian high command to un dermine the discipline and the lead ership of the German army, it is asserted that 'according to various reports whose authenticity cannot be questioned, the Entente is about to enact, with the trickiest means at its disposal, a propaganda against the person of General Von Luden dorff.' "The report further says the En tente intended to weaken Germany by the employment of nefarious means by making an effort to de prive us of the leader who, as the right hand of Von Hindenburg, is indispensable to the German peo ple. The Entente hopes, it is im plied, that Aon Hindenburg would voluntarily retire once Von Luden dorff had fallen. As long as Von Ludendorff is jn his present place, the argument goes on, there is no thought of peace. It is added that the newest fashion of political war fare is directed from neutral coun tries, and that its center is in Swit zerland. "We must confess that this whole story, in its mysterious, darkly hint ing form and tenor, makes a very dubious impression upon us. If there is actually something known of Entente plans to overthrow Von Ludendorff—out with the whole truth! We fully believe the Entente capable of atempts to break our home front and, if possible, to de prive our arnjy of its leadership; if the Entente could do these things, it would most naturally proceed to do them. Perspective Is Lost "Rut what has been so far said about this sinister plan sounds so adventurous and is so thoroughly lacking of solid substance that in its present form it can be regarded as nothing more than a symptom of the irritability of a press which has entirely lost the proper per spective of things. "As long as Von Ludendorff is in his present place, the story goes on, "there is no thought of peace pos sible. Does that mean that the En tente will make the removal of Von Ludendorff a pre-condition of peace? That would be so stupid that we cannot attribute such a plan to any of the Entente governments, Cer tainly it would not be one of those 'tricky means' to which the afore said newspapers allude. However, should there actually be agents' re ports indicating such a plot, the press which is so excited over it ought to stop and think how pre posterous, how unlikely, are the chances of its realization. "On the other hand, there lies In these dark outgivings a" danger to which we feel It our duty to point on this occasion. The nervousness which is evinced by them easily may bring about a state of affairs in which inconvenient utterances in the German press might be branded promptly with the stigma of 'En tente propaganda.' "This danger is the greater inas much as the name of the Quarter master General lately has been dragged into the rantings of the pan-German and annexationist press which has sought to make Von Eu dendorff the banner-bearer of a certain political faith. "This might be repeated some day, and then the pan-German and annexationist press could kill all public discussion With the assertion Lhat criticism by dissenting news papers was 'Made in the Entente.'
