GERMAN ARMY TO FIGHT ON, FIELD MARSHAL ORDERS Tells Troops It Is Their Duty to Continue in Struggle Amsterdam, Sept. 20.—Field Mar shal von Hindenburg has Issued a proclamation to the German army in the field according to the Zeitung am Mlttag, of Berlin, in which the Ger man commander-in-chief alludes to the recent Austrian peace offer, say ing that it does not involve an inter ruption in the war operations. The eld marshal adds that a readi ness for peace is not in contradiction with the spirit with which Germany is waging the struggle. It is the army's duty, he says, to continue the struggle while waiting to see wheth er the enemy is sincere and ready for peace negotiations. The text of the proclamation reads: "The Austro-Hungarian govern ment has proposed to all the belli gerents a conference for a non-bind ing discussioh of peace. War opera tions are not thereby interrupted. Readiness for peace is not in con tradiction to the spirit with which we are waging the struggle for the homeland. "As early as December, 1916, the kaiser, our supreme war lord, with his allies, offered peace to the enemy. The German government has often since then proclaimed its readiness for peace. "The reply 'of the enemy was scorn and derision. The enemy ov ernments incited their peoples and armies to continue .the annihilating war against Germany. We have thus continued our defensive struggle. "Our ally has now made a fresh proposal to hold a discussion. The fighting will not be interrupted. "The army's task is to continue the struggle. In four victorious years of war, the German army has ener getically protected the homeland and proved to the enemy our invincibil ity. Only by this means do we .help break the enemy's will to destruc tion. "While continuing to fight, we have to wait to see whether *he enemy is sincere, and this time ready for peace negotiatons, or whether he will again reject peace with us un less we are prepared to buy it on conditions which would destroy our people's future."

TIMES BOUGHT FOR BRE WERS A UNS; PROBE TO GO DEEP Fund of $407,500 Raised by Fifteen Beer Men With Aid of Big Corporation; Alexander Konta, German Agent, Quoted Washington, Sept, 20.—The fed eral custodian of alien property, A. Mitchell Palmer, made public yes terday the names of the fifteen brewers, who, with the United States Brewers' Association, raised a fund of $407,500, from which $375,000 was loaned to Arthur Brisbane to buy the Washington Times. . Mr. Palmer acted immediately aft er the Senate had passed a resolu tion introduced by Senator Jones, of Washington, calling upon the prop erty custodian to show the proofs on which he made his speech in Harrlsburg, Pa., last Saturday, de scribing the efforts of brewers to control a newspaper in pro-German interest, to exert their influence upon Congress, and, finally, on which he charged that the brewing interests had advanced the money for the purchase of a newspaper to "fight the battle of the liquor traffic under the shadow of the dome of the cap ttol." Brisbane Borrows Binds Mr. Brisbane, In published state ments in the Times, already has stated that he bought the paper with money loaned by C. W. Feigenspan, a brewer, and president of the Fed eral Trust Company of litiwark, N. J. Mr. Brisbane also has puhlished a letter from Feigenspan defining an arrangement by which the loan was syndicated to fifteen brewers. Mr. Palmer includes in his disclosure this letter and also documents to support his assertion that the loan was made in a way to conceal its course and purpose. Included in Mr. Palmer's papers are copies of letters written by Alex ander Konta, evidently a German agent, to Captain Hans Tauscher, notoriously associated with German propaganda in the United States and to Dr. Bernard Dernberg, Germany's chief propaganda agent, upon the prospects of Inlying some great American newspaper. Mr. Palmer connects these with his declaration that the influence which the brewers attempts to exert was thoroughly In the interest of Germany. Mr. Palmer last night declined to say where his office obtained the documents. He added that they spoke for themselves. First among the documents is a letter from Feig enspan to Robert Crain, whose office is in the building which houses Mr. Brisbane's Times, detailing the dis tribution of the $407,500 loan. It was divided this way: George Ehret, $50,000; C. Feigen span, $25,000; Julius Liebmann, $25,000; J. C. G. Hupfel, $7,500; Jacob Ruppert $50,000; Joseph E.

(Mr. Brisbane's published statements place the sum he borrowed through Mr. Feigenspan at this amount). Hearst lawyer in Deal Mr. Palmer's documents quote the corporation directory for 1917 as de scribing the Growing Circulation Corporation, as being capitalized at $lO,OOO, having offices at 140 Nussau street, N.ew York City, and having among its directors William A. De- Ford, one of William R. Hearst's law yers: John T. Sturdevant and I Thomas .McEntegart. The course of the loan as it ap pears to be shown by documents, the originals of which Mr. Palmer states are in his possession, shows first six checks from C. W. Feigenspan, trustee, drawn between June 21, 1917, and January 21, 1918. There also is a check for $25,000 drawn by Feigenspan as trustee for Crain. Then follow five drafts by the Fed eral Trust Company payable to bear er, aggregating $345,000. They were endorsed to be paid to the order of "A. Thursby, Growing Circulation Corporation, per L. B. Krause, vice president. For deposit pay'to Equit able Trust Company." "A. Thursby," saiys Mr. Palmer's j announcement, "is evidently Alice Brisbane Thursby, whose address, according to the record at the Equit able Trust Company, is care of Ar | thur Brisbane. 238 William street." Gives Brewer Receipt 1 The documents then show a note | for $300,000, dated June 21. 1917, ! payable five years later to Feigen | span as trustee, and executed by the Growing Circulation Corpora tion. This is followed by a receipt to Feigenspan, executed by A. Bris bane, acknowledging $260,000 "to be used in the purchase of Mr. Mun sey's newspaper in Washington by me." The remaining $40,000 was to be paid later. A letter from Mr. Brisbane to Feigenspan defining the terms of the loan is next given. This pre viously has been published by Mr. Brisbane It. sets forth that a num ber of brewers, including Feigen span, were ready to loan Brisbane $500,000 for the purchase and es tablishment of a newspaper, and that at the end of five years so much was to be repaid as Brisbane determined as the business of the paper warranted; that no interest was to be charged but that the loan was to be returned if the paper were sold. Mr. Brisbane has stated that he declined to accept the loan without interest. Depends on Circulation His only security, Feigenspan de clares in his statement to the alien property custodian,, is the $300,000 note of the Growing Circulation Corporation. At the close of the statement George Ehret, Jr., de clares that he believes it to be true, true. The alien property custodian makes no comment upon the docu- HABJRISBITRG "TELEGRAPH ments, but passes to the two letters by Konta to support his charse in his Harrisburg speech that "the or ganized liquor traffic has been pro- German in its sympathies," and that "these great interests actually have been willing to finance great news papers for the purpose of spreading German propaganda and sentiments in this country." Konta's letter to Tauscher informs Tauscher that at Bernard Dern berg's request he has canvassed the prospects of buying a newspaper. He asks that if possible the original of the letter be recovered. The letter to Dernberg, written March 31, 1915, goes into the sub ject of "the purchase and publica tion of a daily newspaper in this country in the interests of Germany and the German government." It proceeds to discuss various New York newspapers from the point of their success, proceeding from that to make deductions on the likeli hood of their sale.

They rtiet at the Federal Reserve Hank apd agreed to co-op erate on uniform line of action, the effect of which will prevent the issuance of charters for new cor porations in those states, and fhe consequent issue of stock without the consent of the capital issues com mittee.
