NEW YORK. Oct. SO. Perley Morse,
expert accountant retained by Merton
E. Lewis, State Attorney-General, to
Investigate the financial transactions
in this country of Paul Bolo Pasha,
German spy and propagandist now un
der arrest in Paris, made public today
testimony given by Adolph Pavenstedt,
former head of the banking house of
i. Amsinck & Co., to the effect that he
lent $20,000 to the late Herman Ridder,
j.ublisher of the New Yorker Staats
Xeitung. Pavenstedt has admitted that
Bolo's negotiations with Count von
Bernstorff, then German Ambassador to
the United States, were conducted
through him. Amsinck & Co. handled
German funds for olo.
Pavenstedt's testimony showed that
$15,000 of the payment came from Lr.
, Bernhard Dernburg, former German
Colonial Minister and director of Ger
man propaganda in this country, but
That neither Mr. Ridder nor any mem
ber of his family ever knew of Dern
laurg's connection with the transaction.
Mr. Ridder came to him about the
(imp f hp RnrnnMn wa r bfitran. Paven
stedt said, and asked a loan of 520.000;
"Without Mr. Ridder's knowledge, Pav
enstedt went to Dernburg and told him
the situation. He said he told Dern
burg the Ilidders "have always fol
lowed a very good course for the Ger
man Interests here."
PavrnHtfdt 1'titn XTp $5000.
"Then I asked him if he would put
Nip the money," Pavenstedt testified.
Xernburg replied that because he want
ed him (Pavenstedt) "interested." he
would give $15,000 if Pavenstedt would
give $5000.
"I talked to my partners about it and
ihe firm of Amsinck & Co. first ad
vanced the $50i0 with the $15,000 of
Dernburg's, but I afterward personally
took the money from my account be
cause the partners objected to my
having it on the books because it did
not belong, they said, to the business,"
continued Pavenstedt's testimony.
"Nobody ever knew that Ir. Dern -
burg was the man who supplied most
of it. The Pidders never knew it. They
do not know it today."

The following statement concerning
the Riddr transaction was made to
night byt Bernard H. Ridder:
"The. fact that a part of the money
advanced to Mr. Herman Ridder by Mr.
Pavenstedt in 1914 came from Dr. Pern
burg was never known to Mr. Herman
Kidder, as far as we know. Mr.
Ridder's pons knew nothing whatever
of the entire transaction, excepting
that when Mr. Ridder's financial dif
ficulties became- acute the notes of
O. Amsinck were presented for pay
ment hete with other notes.
"These notes were placed in the
Jiands of. a noteholder's committee. The
notes were all liquidated by the Staats
Zeitung on or before Marh 1. 1916.
"None of Mr. 1 lerman Ridder's sons,
nor anyone connected with them or the
.Staats rZeitimg. knew that Mr. Paven
stedt. had not advanced his own money
to Mr. Ridder. Mr. Pavenstedt, being a
3ii an of wealth, it never occurred to
anyone that he would secure money
other than h is owtr in a. transaction
involving only $20,000.
Ridder Badly In Debt.
"Mr. Herman Ridder's obligations
totaled millions of dollars. The money
borrowed from Amsinck & Co. was used
in the International Typesetting Ma
chine Company and was not borrowed
for the Staats Zeining. which never had
occasion to borrow money.
'Before applying for a license the
details of this transaction were given
to the authorities the Department of
Justice and the Po.-tofficr Department)
on the very day when Mr. Pavenstedt
made us acquainted with his transac
tions with Dr. Dern burg."

Dago Island Captured and Troops :
Landed in Accordance With
General Plan of Germans to
. Control Gulf of Riga.
BERLIN", via London, Oct. 20. It is
announced by army headquarters to
day that the German operations on
Dago Island, north of the Gulf of Riga, j
have been carried out according to plan, j
. PETROGRAD, via. London. Oct. 20.
"Under pressure of superior enemy
naval forces we have been compelled to
abandon southern Moon Sound," says
the Russian official statement. "Moon
Island thus came under the direct fire
of the- enemy ships from the Gulf of
Riga and also from Kassar Bay and
we were completely deprived; of the
possibility of defending Moon Island,
and therefore no useful purpose would
be served by attempting to hold it.
Evacuation Is Inder Eire.
"The evacuation of the island was
begun under very difficult conditions,
as it -was all the time subjected to a
cross-fire from the enemy's ships. Our
destroyers, trawlers and auxiliary en
gaged them.
"During the day our trawlers dis
covered mine fields sown by enemy
submarines with the obvious intention
of closing to our ships the entrance to
the Gulf of Riga from Moon Sound.
These operations, co-ordinated with the
landing of detachments on Dago Island,
show unmistakably the desire of the
enemy at all costs to destroy our naval
forces defending this region.
Rain Prevents Atrial Scouting.
"All yesterday mist and rain veiled
and hampered our patrol and aerial
scouting for the purpose of observing
the movements of the enemy's fleet.
"On the various fronts there were
fusillades and scout i n g."
The Russian Ministry of Marine lias
issued detailed statement regarding the
naval battle in the Gulf of Riga, which
adds nothing to unofficial reports al
ready published, except a declaration
that a- German torpedo-boat escorting
the main squadron ran into a Russian
mine and sank.
Finland Uult Defended.
The Russian Baltic fleet in its en
tirety could not face the Germans in
the Gulf of Riga without aba ndoning
the responsibility for the defense of
the Gulf of Kin land, according to Count
Kapnist, of the-Russian Admiralty.
"The Germans," he says, "effected
land operations on Oesel Island with 12
transports, escorted by 12 battleships
of all types, five cruisers, an enormous
number of auxiliaries and oO de
stroyers." The Count cites the Battle of Jutland
as a precedent for the impossibility of
using: submarines to advantage.
Discipline Is Poor.
Genera! Tcheiemissoff. commander
on the Russian northern front, has
issued an order condemning the agi
tation among the soldiers of the north
ern army. He states t hat agitators
are spreading rumors that all the tol
diers are preparing to leave the
trenches at a given date.
The difficulty of enforcing discipline
in the army is illustrated by the ac
quittal at Kiev of 80 grenadiers who
mutinied at the time of the enemy of
fensive against Tarnopol. It is alleged
that the jury which acquitted them was
composed of Maximalists or had been
terrorized.
