Recriminations Are Bandied
by Reed and Becker.
BIG DEPOSIT REFERRED TO
Senate Committee Informed Luth
eran Church Is Loyal; In
quiry to Be Continued.
"WASHINGTON', Dec 2U Alfred I
Becker. Deputy Attorney - General of
Xcw York, on continued cross-examination
today by Senator Reed, of Missouri,
at the Senate committee's German
propaganda inquiry, declared that Sen
ator Reed represented William R.
Hearst, about whom most of the testi
mony revolved.
Senator Reed Indignantly denied that
he represented anybody or anything ex
cept an effort to reach the truth in a
maze of "distorted testimony."
The hearing was full of sharp ex
changes of accusations between Mr.
Becker and Senator Reed, who sought
to show that Becker drew unwarranted
conclusions from "scraps of evidence"
of acquaintance between Hearst, and
Bolo Pasha, Von Bernstorff anof other
German agents. Mr. Becker declared
he was "suspicious of almost anything
that Mr. Hearst did."
The cross-examination will be con
tinued when the hearings are resumed
after the holiday recess.
Big Deposit Referred To.
Before the committee adjourned Sen
ator Reed referred to the financial
transactions mentioned by Mr. Becker
in the beginning of his testimony on
Thursday dealing with $1,000,000 de
posited with J. P. Morgan & Company
to the credit of Bolo Pasha, the amount
to be available to. Bolo in October, 1916,
Bix months after its deposit, with Inter
est at ZVz per cent. In June, 1916. after
Bolo had returned to France; it was tes
tified the Morgan firm cabled Its Paris
branch that, although the original
agreement was not kept it would be
glad if some Interest would be al
lowed Bolo. "in view of the connection
of this client, which is of great im
portance to us."
"Now, if you had a letter like that
written by. Mr. Hearst, in which he sai
that the original agreement , was not
kept and asking him to pay interest
regardless of that, you would regard
it as very conclusive against Mr.
Heait. would you not?" asked Senator
Reed.
Becker SiipMli Hearst.
"I should be suspicious of almost
anything that Mr. Hearst did, and that
does not apply to Mr. Morgan," Mr.
Becker replied.
"That is what I thought," Senator
Reed retorted. "You would be' suspi
cious of almost anything he did. and
so comes your testimony to be read in
that light."
"Yes." the witness said. "I am very
suspicious of Mr. Hearst. I admit it. I
think his record justifies It."
"Then he probably entertains an
equally exalted opinion of you," Sena
tor Reed replied.
"Well. God bless him." Becker re
plied, "he is welcome to it. and he
probably will express it in his paper,
and this is my only chance."
Lutherans Declared Loyal.
The Senate committee has placed In
the records a letter from Dr. Lauritz
I-iarsen, secretary of the National Lu
theran Council, declaring the church is
100 per cent loyal, entirely American
and is not subsidized in any way by
the Prussian state church. The church
is pledged to the exclusive use of the
English language except when It is
impossible to administer spiritual con
solation in that tongue. It was ex
plained. The committee adjourned until after
the holidays, but not until after Sena
tor Reed and Mr. Becker had another
clash.. Senator Reed said he had
known Mr. Hearst as a newspaper man,
that he had had no social or personal
relations with him, and no political
relations with him, "except generally
he supports the party to which I
belong."
"I have followed these hearings
closely," he added, "and I have become
convinced that there has been some
attempt to fasten the crime of treason
on Mr. Hearst by placing together
scraps of information. For that rea
son I asked to cross-examine this wit
ness, and I would have done the same
thing for the editor of the New York
Times or any other newspaper.
Harnh Language Used.
"That is why I am here." Senator
Reed continued, "and any man who in
timates anything. to the contrary Is a
common scoundrel."
Chairman Overman directed the of
ficial stenographer to strike the last
reference to Mr. Becker from the
record, but Senator Wolcott interposed
an objection.
"If the committee does not keep this
witness within the traces he will have
to take his medicine if he gets out,"
Senator Reed continued.
"I have no objection to the remark
going into, the record," said Mr. Becker.
"1 am ustd to being attacked, and I
am glad to be pursued by anyone rep
resenting the Hearst crowd."
The statement went into the record.

King Victor Emmanuel Leaves for
Visit to .Italian Troops and
Paris Dons Sober Garb.
PARIS, Dec 21. King Victor Em
manual of Italy left Paris tonight on
his way to visit Italian troops in Bel
gium. With his departure Paris put
aside her holiday attire and matter-of-fact
consideration of conference ar
rangements began in earnest today.
Premier Orlardo and Foreign Min
ister Sonnino of Italy will leave Paris
for Rome tonight, expecting to return
early In January.
The Italian King will start on Sun
day for Rome, going directly from Bel
glum. President Wilson and the American
delegates had a day of few interrup
tions before them in which to study in
a preliminary way various plana which
have been proposed for carrying out
details of Mr. Wilson's programme.
Apparently the other powers are
looking .to the United States to bring
forth a.concrete proposition concerning
freedom of the seas. There is reason
to believe that the proposed limitation
of construction of naval craft to lightly
armored vessels, like revenue cutters,
whose sole purpose would be to protect
merchant shipping, finds favor with the
American delegation.
Advocates of this plan say there
would be no further use for heavily
armed ships if all nations were placed
on an equal footing by this means.
This is only one of the plans ad
vanced to develop the views of other
powers.
Count Romanones, the Spanish Pre-:
mier, was in conference for half an
hour with President Wilson last even
ing. It is reported the Premier invited
the President to vi&it Spain.
Premier Clemenceau also conferred
with the President.

cussing his visit to Paris, said today:
Spain cannot remain isolated. She
has always maintained the bet of re
lations with the allies.
"In coming here to take advantage
of the invitation given me by Pres
ident Wilson, I have profited by talk
ing with him and also with members
of the French Ministry.
"I believe my sojourn in Paris will
advance the interest of my country.
"Spain does not enjoy absolute tran
quillity at thfs moment because of the
Catalonia movement, for which I hope
to find a satisfactory solution."
MESSAGE IS SEXT TO SWEDEN
President . Confident That Worthy
Peace Is Coming.
STOCKHOLM, Friday, Dec. 20. A
message from President Wilson was
read in both chambers of the Swedish
Parliament today. It was as follows:
"I have received with the greatest
tion themessage which the two
chambers of the Swedish Riksdag were
generous enough to send me and I ac
cept it as a most welcome expression
of the confidence of the chambers.
"I hope and believe that-by common
counsel a peace worthy of the aspira
tion of the people of Europe can and
will be secured, and I shall with pleas
ure and pride do all I can to promote it.

The place of honor in the parade was

Ten big five-ton trucks, which hauled
spruce for Government airplane stock
in the woods, were in line. Five of the
trucks had tops, the other five being

ruary at ' the earliest, says Marcel
Hutin. editor of the Echo de Paris.
This postponement is due to changes
of plans because of President Wilson's

Spanish. Influenza or Grip.
An old enemy is with us
again, and whether we fight
a German or a germ, we
must put up a good fight,
and not be afraid. The
influenza runs a very brief
course when the patient is
careful, and if we keep the
system in good condition
and throw off the poisons
which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Re
member the three C's A
Clean Mouth, a Clean Skin
and Clean Bowels. To carry
off poisons from the system
and keep the bowels loose,
daily doses of a pleasant
laxative should be taken.
Such a one is made of May
apple, leaves of aloe, root
of jalap, and called Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Hot lemonade - should be
used freely if attacked by
a cold, and the patient
should be put to bed after
a hot mustard foot-bath.
To prevent an attack
of bronchitis or pneumonia
and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be
obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours, with
lemonade. The Anuric Tablets were first discovered by Dr. PieTce,
and as they flush the bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they carry
away much of the poisons and the uric acid.
The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric Tablets, but in
addition, the forehead, arms and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid), in which a tablespoonful of salaratus has been dissolved in a
quart. After an attack of grip or pneumonia, to build up and strengthen
