COPENHAGEN, Thursday, Dec. 5. Allied and Ameri
can forces will temporarily occupy Berlin as exercising police
1 supervision, according to the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of
(' Berlin, which says that an American wireless dispatch to this
'.effect has beenjntercepted by the Germans. The newspaper
! says that Mannheim will be similarly occupied.
The reason for this action on the part of the Allies is
said to be "a regrettable incident during which a supervisor
;Pof a prisoners' camp shot three Frenchmen."
1 LONDON, Dec. 6. Serious disorders have arisen in
Berlin andt considerable firing has occurred in the principal
istreets, according to reports reaching the Dutch-German fron
tier, says an Exchange "Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam.
IThe trouble is. said to have beencaused"by the German Bol
jfsheviki. ' .
i LONDON, Thursday, Dec. 5. In the delayed re-statement of his
policy, issued by Premier Lloyd George today, calling for the trial
and punishment of the men responsible for the war, however high
jtheir place, he pledged the entire influence of the British govern
ment at the peace conference to see that justice was done. In de
; daring for the expulsion and exclusion of all enemy aliens from
' British soil, the premier pointed out that a considerable proportion
I of enemy resident's in the United Kingdom during the war had
abused their hospitality and thus had forfeited their claim to remain.
. ' In his statement Lloyd George said :
J "The kaiser must be prosecuted, The war a hideous,
'if abominable crime, a crime which has sent millions of the
; best young men of Europe to death and mutilation and
. ! changed myriads of homes into desolation. I
"Is no one responsible? Is no one tcbe called to account?
' Is there to be no punishment? Surely that is neither God's
. justice nor man's. The men responsiblefor this outrage on ,
) i the human race must not be let off because their heads were
crowned when they perpetrated the deed'.; I
"The British "government referred the 'question of the
criminal culpability of the kaiser and his accomplices to
ought to be tried bj an international court. They also re-
. ? ported strongly in favor of the punishment of those guilty ,
f of murder on the high seas and the abominable ill-treatment
I, 01 prisoners.
In one passage of his program, that dealing with measures fort
in increase of British output, Mr. Lloyd George says : '
"There is one condition for the success of all efforts to in
crease the output of this country, namely, confidence. Bol
shevism is the poison of production. Russia proves that. (
Russian will not begin the building up of a productive sys- j
tern until Bolshevism has worked itself out."
"All classes must give confidence to those who have brains
those who have capital to those with hearts and hands to work. I
I say to labor: 'You shall have justice. Your children shall have equal
, opportunities with the children of the rich.'
i "To capital I say: 'You shall not be plundered and penalized.
J Do your duty by those who work for you and your future is free for
g jail the enterprise or audacity you can give us.
'' I. . "But there must be equal justice and labor must have happiness
j ijin its heart. Labor must have its just reward."
't . . Mr. Lloyd George in his statement describes the extensive pro-'
, lesions the government proposes for discharging its obligations to
J ;the gallant soldiers and sailors alike to the fallen, the crippled and
t pothers. He deals also with the housing and other problems connect
't ed with post-war reconstruction and the devolpment of electrical

a Proclamation Which
Is Reassuring,

, WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION. Monday. Dec. 2 Stud
' lfd indifference again characterized
tho German reception of American
i troops on their way to Ibo Rhine to
.day. General Dickman's army renewed
(its advance at daylight, and by night
1 had reached the line approximately
j twelve miles to the eastward, Scores
of additional villages and small towns
were brought under the domination of
I the American army, but none of them
are of great importance. At American
headquarters at Treves, Gnral
Brown, as military governor, and Gen
eral Smith, who is in charge of civil
i affairs, have begun the work of ad
' ministration. Local authorities in vir
tually every community have agreed to
retain their posts and co-operate in
maintaining order.
General Pershing has issued a proc
lamation calling on the people to re
turn to their normal pursuits and as
suring them that, if the conduct of
military affairs Is not molested and if
good order is kept, they will not be in
terfered with. The proclamation gives
Information of the places American
forces will occupy under the terms of
thearmislice and explains in detail
which towns will be garrisoned and
which will be merely included in occu
pied territory. This proclamatoin, post
ed on walls in different plnces, had
been read carefully by crowds but
there has been no sign of emoUon evi
dent. The towns through which the troops
passed today presented an appearance
similar to those entered on Sunday.
Blinds were drawn Jn many cases and
most of the inhabitants remained in
doors rather than countenance the in
vasion by witnessing iL The children
in the towns occupied on the first day
of the advance and today, failed to re
strain their childish enthusiasm, but
the attitude of the grown ups was un
altered. At Treves 130 airplanes were
found ready for delivery to the allies.
A small quantity of supplies was also
left there by the Germans.
Reports made to General Smith in
dicate that, while foodstuffs arc limit
ed as to variety, there is apparently
enough to meet the needs of the peo
ple. Prices, however, are very high.
General Pershing's reassurance has
gone far to alleviate anxiety that even
the phlegmatic inhabitants fail to con
ceal. It la understood the Americans
will rule slornly but General Pershing
in his proclamation said "no law abid
ing person need have any fear."
Continuing, the proclamation road:
"The American army is not come to
mako war on n civilized population.
All persons who, with honest submis
sion act peacefully and obey the rules
laid down by the military authorities
will be protected in their persons,
homes and property. All others will
be brought under rule with vigor and
promptness. The American army will
govern In strict accordance with inter
national law and the rules and customs
of war sanctioned by the civilized
tforld. Inhabitants on their part must
absolutely abstain in word and deed
from every act of hostility or impedi
'ment of any kind toward the American
I forces. It is your duty now to devote
yourselves to the orderly and obedient
conduct of your private lives and af
fairs, the establishment of normal con
ditions in schools, churches, hospitals,
and charitable institutions and resump
tion of your local civil life.

J - the Camps.;
LONDON. Dec. 5. (British Wire
less Service) The commandants of
the notorious German prison camps
of the Hanover command, who sub
jected British officers to gross indig
nities and brutal treatment, have been
' exposed in the latest report of Sir
Robert Younger, judge of the high
, court of justice and his committee
' which has been dealing with the
treatment by the enemy of British
prisoners of war.
The committees-report says it Is
not in the grea'fovent. involving at
least one case of homicide and which
will receive special 'attention on some
other occasion, that tho true signifi
'cance of tho Germnn horrors is to bo
found, but in tho petty tyranny con
stantly exercised; the punlshmont of
; men for so-called offenses, needless
; restrictions and the overbearing con
, duct of the German authorities.
Tho report says that, in 1917, Gen
eral von Haonisch, in charge of the
: prison camps, carried out a system of
' coercion in conjunction with Captains
I Nlomoyer. twin brothers. command
dants, respectively, at Holzmindcn and
1 Kalusthal.
General von Haenlsch is termed an
unreasonable and cruel man, endowed
with a violent temper. He took every
I opportunity to curtail anything which
, would make tho prison life less irk
j some. He called the prisoners dogs
'and pigs as also did General Pavlov -'ski.
Inspector general of the Hanover
j command. "Theso aro our enemies,"
, Genoral von Haenlsch told the com
I mandant at Appel. "Don't forget to
! treat them as such." He was speaking
of French officer prisoners. In the
presonce of Italian prisoners, General
von Haenisch said: "Theso are our
would-bo allies. Do not forget that."
On reaching the British sector of
the line, General von Haenlsch de
clared, speaking of tho British, "I am
hoping every day to receive tho order
to send some of theso people to be
put up behind our lines to be shot
by British shells."
Captain Nlemeyer of Holsmlnden is
spoken of as "the personification of
'hale." He would swagger up and down
the camp and demand to be saluted
I on every passage. Those who refused i
to salute were sentenced to from throe
to six days In cells. Tho senior Brit
ish officer, who complained of prof
iteering in the canteen, was seul to
another camp. Nlemeyer rejoiced in i
flourishing his revolver on all occa
sions. He misled the neutral repre
sentatives on their visits to the camps.
The other Nlemeyer. the report
savs, lied to the prisoners, to his sup
erior officers and to tho .representa
tives of The Netherlands legation. He.
suppressed evidence of having prison-)
ers removed to other carupp. On one
occasion he ordered an officer to get
down on his knees before him. Upon
tho officer's rot'usnl a sentry was:
called forward and forced the officer
to kneel. j

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. In telling his story of Ger- j I
man propaganda in America, A Bruce Bielaski, chief of tho j H
bureau of investigation of the "department of justice, today 5j H
laid before the senate committee investigating brewery and J H
German propaganda, cablegrams exchanged in 1916 by Count ,H
von Bernstorff, then ambassador here, and the Berlin foreign ;
, office. x i i j'H
One of Bernstorff s messages urged that special favoi ' H
be shown William Bayard Hale, an American, about to visit j' H
Berlin as a newspaper correspondent, because he was em- ij H
ployed by the Hearst papers, which, the message said, coulcl It !
I be depended upon to favor Germany. rl I
Bielaski told the committee that Hale was on the Hearst tji
'payroll for $300 a week and was also employed at $15,000 a, UH
! year by a publicity organization formed in this country by , f jl
, Dr. Bernard Dernberg, the German propagandist. iM
Suggesting on June 2 1916, that the time was favorable j. I
"to get Hearst to snd a first rate journalist to Berlin," Bern- :
Istorff told the foreign office that the man selected was Hale ijM
I who, he said, had been a confidential agent of the embassy J ,
I since the beginning of the war and was bound as such by con J j j H
tract to June 23, 1918. 1. I
! "Hearst," the ambassador's message said, "is not aware- ))
I that Hale is our agent, but knows him only as a Germanophile ! jl I
I iournalist who has contributed leading articles to papers." m I
I
! Hale, according to Bielaski, was paid
! by the German government to visit
! Rumania and, if possible, prevent en
trance of that nation into the war.
Mr. Hearst, Bielaski said, was Ignor
ant of Hale's employment on the lat.
ter mission.
I Following is the message of June 2,
, sent by Bernstorff through Buenos
Aires and Stockholm:
"In conformity to your excellency's
wish I suggest that the present is a
favorable" time to get Hearst to send a
first rate journalist to Berlin. The
! man suggested, W. B. Hale, has been,
i as your excellency knows, since the
beginning of the war a confidential
I agent of the embassy, and as such has
; been bound by contract till June 23,
1918. In making this arrangement the
; main Idea was that Hale would be the
'most suitable man to start the re.or-
ganization of the news service after
peace on the right lines,
i " request full confidence may be
i accorded to Hale who will bring with
I him a letter of recommendation from
; me to Dr. Hammat. Hearst it not
i aware that Hale Is our agent, but
j knows him only as a Germanophile
Journalist who has contributed lead
ing articles to papers."
Another message dated June 5,
! 1916, said:
i "Hale tells me, and Hearst con
: firms, that the latter is rather hurt
' that on Wicgand's account the World
gets all the important Berlin Inter
; views. I recommend that under suit
able circumstances Hale should, for
i obvious reasons, be given preference,
las Hearst organs have during the
course of war always placed them
i selves outspokenly on our side."
Bielaski said Germany never suc
ceeded In seducing an American off
icial "If we except Congressman Buch
i anan, of Illinois, who got mixed up
with von Rintclen In Labor's Peace
! Council."
The diary of Dr. Karl A. Fuehr, a
German agent brought to America, by
'von Berrrstorff, was produced a paper
labelled "Important list of names,"
which, Mr. Bielaski said, contains
"practically all who were actively
pro-German prior to our entrance in
the war and a few who were active
afterwards."
The list follows: -Professor
