MILLIONS SPENT IN THIS COUNTRY Attempt Made to Do Great Injury In-jury to American Institutions. Providence, R. I., Nov. 14. The Providence Journal will say tomorrow: tomor-row: "A vast fund of money amounting to betwten $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 has been spent in this country in tbe past four months for propaganda work againsct the allies under the immediate supervision of Count von Bernstorff, tho General embassador, and Dr. Heinrich Albert, privy councillor, coun-cillor, who describes himself to a Journal representative as the fiscal agent of his government. "The Journal has a positive record of the receipt by Embassador von Bernstorff and Dr. Albert of at least $10,000,000 in the time mentioned. A great deal of this money has come through the Guaranty Trust company , of New York and mo"st of it has been immediately transferred to tho Chase National bank and other banks in which Dr. Albert and Embassador Embassa-dor von Bornstorff keep a joint ac- j count. "Tho Journal charges that not one , dollar of this money has been spent for legitimate purposes, but that all of it Is going for propaganda work of tho most vicious discription. One item alone, the maintenance of bu reaus ior dragging men out of munition muni-tion factories, amounts to many millions mil-lions of dollars. The cost of sustenance sus-tenance of tho consular service of Germany and the expenses of the embassy em-bassy reach the various officials through regular channels, which are in no way connected with the fund referred to. It is believed that the entire cost of propaganda work conducted con-ducted by Austrian consuls and consuls con-suls general is financed from this German fund." oo
