ABLE TO CLAMP I LIPS OF AGENTS; Sinking of Lusitaniu. Too,; Helped Wreck Hun Prop aganda Plot By Associated Frtst 1 Washington, Deo. 7. —Shipwreck | j of German propaganda initiated in , ! America by Bernard Dernburg was ' attributed by Count Von BernstorfT j | in his explanation to the Berlin for- j : oign ofllco to the impossibility of i keeping secret the fact that-an Amor- j ican newspaper is subsidized, and to j the sinking of the Lusitnnia.

Bruce Bielaski, chief of the I bureau of investigation. Wails of His Failure In a letter to the foreign office in 1915, BernstorfT shld the subsidiz ing of papers always ended with him being held responsible for all the ur- j tides of sucll papers. For that rea son, lie said, lie had succeeded In getting free of all relations with the Fair Play of Marcus Braun, and that he also would like to ho free from tlie Fatherland, which he ndd- "has shown of little val "ue." Tlie letter spoke of an unfortunate experience with the Times Mail nnd said only the future could show "Whether we will have better luck with Mr. Huntington Wright and Mr. T. E. Lowe." Hun Receipt Eor 5,01X1 Found Among other documents presented by Mr. Bielaski on the second day of his appearance before the com mittee were several relating to J. F. J.

It was uls'o agreed unanimously that there should be a prompt liqui dation of raw war materials or fin ished product to prevent a too violent dislocation of industries from the standpoint of both employe and em ployer. The purpose is to insure the stability of the industries affected. The Congress with great unanimity declared in favor of the removal of restrictions on industry, and govern ment officials who attended the con vention gave assurance of the purpose to promptly disband war boards and commissions and annul war restric tions. To Protect Industry An important decision also was a recommendation to provide for the protection of Industries which have been developed during the war per iod. Throughout the conference there was a constant undercurrent in favor of industrial co-operatipn and a spirit of give and take between labor and capital. The letter and spirit of the principles of the Indus trial creed enunlcated by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., were unanimously approved by the Congress. Governor-elect Sprout,, who was in Atlantic City for a few hours yes terday on his way home from Lake wood, expressed special gratification with the action of the convention in favor of the development of public works of every sort in order that qpportuni'tles of employment may be created for unskilled labor. There was practically no dissent from the favorable report in favor of the Im mediate return to their owners of all railroads, cables and other public utilities. A definite declaration against government ownership' and operation of telephone, telegraphs, and cables wag made by a rising vote of every one of the several thousand delegates. It was a great conatructive and earnest body of men and its work will ramify into every part of (he coun try Inasmuch as the questions dis cussed and the conclusions reached affect capitalist and worklngman alike. Co-operation was the keynote of the entire session. With Choir and Organist .Music foreshadowing the Advent . I season is being prepared by city ' choirs. At St. Stephen's Episcopal !

Wulter, who a member of the , i Kiwanis Club team, is in charge of the hospital work, assisted by Prof. "Bert" Saul, widely-known chemist. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, | is chaplain, and it may be added in > cidentally that he earned the sobriquet of "fighting parson" for his 1 j bravery in attacking Enemy Wood. . i in full charge of the commissary de j tachment is Frank F. Davenport, I who is assisted by Maggie Phillips j and her cohorts of energetic asslst j ants. [ The commissiary department went j into action immediately after a camp i was established here. A huge fire | was built with Boss Brush Burner , Ross H. Swope directing, and the : kitchen police began boiling "ween ies" for the dinner. A great pot of [ black coffee was brewed and a colos [ sal pile of rolls was prepared for the hungry hordes. While all this ' activity was holding full sway the i various team captains began their ; woodchopping efforts with a strenu | ous word-battle, both copious und 1 j vivacious. With characteristic Irish i; spirit. Captain Schmidt, of the i) Kiwanis team, demanded to know ■ when his team will get the prize. • j'"Nuthin' stlrrin'" returned Captain ' ; W. H. German, of the Rotary team. I "We've got that prize cinched" Whereupon Captain B. P. Barker, of r the Businessmen's team, made a ■ j classic utterance to the effect that • [since he brought with him a seven . | ton Mack truck, he was going to I, carry off the champion ship if he . ' had to do it himself. "Great spoons," . j chortled John S. Musser, captain of [ the Fat Men, "Do you fellows ex pect to win? Why we've got It 1 cinched." J. Clyde Myton, captain of . . the Motor Club team, drove up In • his big mitorear just in time to hear [ Captain Musser's boast, "Lay down, [ you bum! I've the pennant in my ! pocked," he shouted. Paul Rexrotli, • of the Young Men's team, decided 1 | silence is the better part of valor, but his eyes had a confident gleam which , ! betokened a possessive tense when , | I hey looked toward the prizes. Frank • B. Musser, captain of the Dark Horse i team, was mysterious about the mer its of his workers. "I'm not talking , like you fellows; I'm going to work j with my cohorts and woe betide L you!" "Bow wow!" the other cap . j tains mimicked, "you think you'll . [ win Aber nieht!" > j The woodchoppers will continue I ; their work until nightfall and will ; | unnounce their results in the Mon i day issue of the Harrisburg Tele . I graph.

Of these 74.000 persona the : large majority spent, a portion of | Monday, November 11, on the down- I town streets, cheering and huzzahing i because of the fact that Germany : j had capitulated. The Red Cross believes that t?ie 1 cheering and parading was not the beginning and end of the Harris i burg joy over the near approach of : peace. The Red Cross is of the opinion ' that every man, woman and child who took part in the huge celebra tion of November 11, considers his ■ [ share of that celebration as worth i t not less than and for that raft f son the organization expects a huge [ membership at the close of the • [ Christmas roll call.
