ROUMANIAN TRIP ALLEGED
Story of Mystery Journey to Balkan
Nation at War Narrated by Wit
ness, V.'ho Claims to ITbto
a Accompanied Writer.
KEW TOPJC. Aug. 8. That Dr. Witt-
lam Bayard Hale, head of the German
Information service, in this country In
1(13. made a trip from Germany Into
Itoumanla the following year on a pass
port describing; him as "on official
business of the German Foreign Office
was the declaration of a witness today
In the State Attorney-General's in
ouiry Into German propaganda activi
ties.
The witness, a newspaper corres
pondent whose name was withheld by
Chief Deputy Attorney-General Becker,
went to Koumania with Hale, then
representative of the New York Ameri
can, in Berlin. The witness asserted
their passports were Issued simultan
eously over the signature of Foreign
. Secretary Zimmermann.
Hale's Roumanian trip, according to
his former traveling companion, was
begun in June, ISIS, two months after
Roumanla's entrance into the war. It
was undertaken, he said, after a series
of confidential meetings between Hale,
. Chancellor von Bethmann Hollwegand
representatives of the Foreign Office.
Co4e Book Declared Filed.
Before they left Berlin, the witness
declared. Hale filed at the Foreign
Office a duplicate of a small dictionary
which he carried and which he
plained to his companion, was to be
used In receiving and aending code
messages.
Some months later, the testimony
shows, said Mr. Becker. Hale's fellow
correspondent was present when the
latter arranged with the steward of a
Scandinavian liner to carry for him
to the United States at 1300 a
messages to be delivered to the ship
at Copenhagen.
The Deputy Attorney-General also
made public comparisons of a par
ported interview between Hale and
Bethmann-Hollweg, printed in the
American in July. 1)1(. with extracts
from Hale's "American Rights and
British Pretensions," a volume Issued
the previous year.
Fkrmses Alsaest Identical.
"Strangely," said Mr. Becker, "the
German Chancellor, according to Hale's
dispatch, used In a statement "regret
ting America's acquiescence In the
British sea control policy, phrases
almost Identical with some of those
In Dr. Hale's book."
According to the testimony taken by
Mr. Becker, the "interview" with Bethmann-Hollweg
was first written by Dr.
Hale In his 'study" in Berlin and wa
a "product of his own pen." Later he
brought the transcript to the Chan
cellor who wrote a note to the Ger
man censor, putting his "O. K." on the
article.
The witness, who. according to Mr.
Becker, was engaged as Dr. Hale's sec
retary, later fell out with him and was
forced to return to America on his 'own
funds.
Ceasorshlp Held Displeasing.
This witness said that Dr. Hale
often bitterly criticised the British
censorship and spoke enthusiastically
of a plan he originated here and took
with htm to Germany, whereby world
control of the cables and wireless serv
ice might be obtained for the German
government.
Another witness, the secretary of a
New York labor union, who was ex
amined by Mr. Becker. Is said to have
stated that when his organization faced
difficulties In financing a peace meet
ing here on August 12, 1915, Dr. Hale
sent for him. offered him anti-war
resolutions he wished adopted and
handed over $400 needed by the labor
anion.
According to Mr. Becker this $400
was later traced to Dr. Heinrlch Albert,
the German paymaster In this country.
The anion, said to have become sus
picious of Dr. Hale's motives, greatly
modified the peace resolutions, which
were considered too 'drastic'

HE world-old tragedy of the young
girl wedded to a suspicions old
man forms the basis for Sir Gil
bert Parker's "Wild Touth." which Par
amount baa filmed via J. Stuart Black-
ton, with a auperb cast headed by
Louise Huff and Theodore Roberts.
The 'plot is dramatic and carries a
vein of human sympathy which makes
it most appealing. The atory works to
a strong climax, relating, te cruelties
imposed upon Louise, the girl-wife, by
Mazarine, the cruel, old husband: the
girl's honorable love affair with Guise,
the violent death of ner husband, the
accusation of Guise and his subsequent
exoneration when the real murderer
confesses. Through all these various
crises the Interest is held firmly, with
the heroine ever the recipient of sym
pathetic attention. . "
