A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau bu-reau of investigation of the department of justice, was the main witness before be-fore the senate committee, and, in telling tell-ing his story, produced the diary of Vr. Karl A. Fuehr. a German agent brought to the United States by Count oi Bernstorff. It was from this diary that a paper labelled "Important list of names," was produced, and Mr. Bielaski volunteered the information that the list contained "practically all who -were actively pro-German prior to our entrance in the war and a fe.)v who were active afterwards." The list speaks for itself. The testimony shows up William Bayard Hale in his true colors. Bielaski stating that, while the correspondent was on the payroll of YV. !;. Hearst at J-:tmi per week, he also was employed at l.'.i'U a ear to per-1 form propaganda'. ' work, Jr. 'Bernard riernbuig being his employer. Bie-lasid Bie-lasid also testified that one hundred and. fifty million dollars in German so-' -tiurities were brought to this country, liuf that only $5,000,000 worth were t-oid.dhe money being expended by the Propagandists. 'Among cither things, it was brought to light that the propagandists desired to p'urchaso one of the New York newspaper's, news-paper's, preferably the Snu or the Press, ;rnl .that an attempt to purchase the .?a)i .was actually ma.L by Samuel t'n-(evmyer. t'n-(evmyer. . concerning which Chief Hie- Jasivi ga c some information.

The name of Edward ,-V. liumely. who was indicted in New York -the other day in connection with iiie, purchase of the Mail, is given as a nenber of the German propaganda or- 'n':'iK;Uion. the other members being Yteyeok, Haie.

Taken altogether, the revelations of "'O-.irf .Ricla.-ki are highly -i-nterestini;. ,and-:H is quite possible that the senate iiHlii-ry will develop more sensations as it preoresses.
