; -4. Wanhlnirton. Dec. IS. (I. N. S.) The
;wrt ol intriaru woven by Bolo Pasha,
executed aa a traitor to France, was
. .exooaed In detail to the nenate props
"; panda lnventljratln committee this aft
ernoon by Deputy Attorney General Al
fred 1 Becker of New York.
Some phaaea of the case Becker de
clined to go Into because "It might
'prejudice the Interest of France at this
jtlme' and. other details or Bolo't plot
-.tlo. he said, were as yet unknown.
- Fnndt Keeretly Shitted
. The Bolo mystery, he said, waa wheth-
-"r the German agent haa Any other con
i federate In this country than Adolph
. jPavenstadt, through whom he comma
. ' nlcated with Von Bernstorff on the
project to purchase Lar Journal In Paris,
''.to be ed for "defeatist propaganda"
;ln the Interests of Germany.
. Becker outlined to the committee how
; ; ' Bolo Pasha worked In having the sum
. . he used for the purchase of La Jour
," nal transferred from the Deutsche bank
Tin Berlin to his account In Paris through
0. Am si nek tc Co., New York bankers,
. ths Royal Bank of Canada and J. P.
ftorgan tc Co. Only Pavenatadt of the
; Amslnck company had any knowledge
Ithatnhe funds were of German origin,
" 'i Becker said.
; ' More Light oa Br. Albert
', Much of what Becker told the com
Vlttee of Bolo's activities in this
' , f country already has been made .public,
fife traced In an elaborate chronology
f how Bolo, while negotiating with
'Bernstorff through Pavenatadt, for a
''om.n" of 9,000,000 marks from Berlin,
. also proposed to R. O. Grace, presi
J dent of the Bethlehem Steel Co., that
. he supply the money for the purchase
jcf.l.a Journal. The negotiations with
; t Grace, Becker said, were for the pur-
pose of camouflaging the serious ne
i. gotiaUona that were going on else
jwhere, '
I Samuel Untermeyer, In a letter to
BenatoT Overman, today protested
' Jagalnat, "misrepresentations of his
" f testimony" by New York newspapers.
i He also gave additional evidence on
;Mh theft of Dr. Albert's portfolio
shortly After the sinking of the fcusl-
tania. -He was ."unable to rememoer,
when ho waa ' questioned, whether he
had consulted with Dr. Albert over
the theft of his papers. He had since
refreshed his memory, he said, and
now recalled that Dr. Albert did con
sult him and told him that he wai
convinced the papers were stolen by
British secret agents. ;
We.alA Bo It .Again, He Says
It was an effort on the part of ihs
British agents, Albert told him, "to fo
ment trouble" by the publication of the
papers while the "delicate diplomatic ne
gotiations growing out of the Luaitanla
sinking" i were in progress.
TJntermeyer recalled that he had gone
to Frank Cobb and asked that the docu
ments found in the Albert portfolio be
not published. He regarded this as "a
patriotic action.' in an effort to prevent
war between Germany and the United
States, Untermeyer said. He would . do
it again, "if the opportunity 'came my
way," he added. . -? ,
Untermeyer-. admitted also that he
aided Dr. Albert in. preparing his expla
nation after the publication of his pa
pers.
The impression that Louis Garthe,
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more American, was collector for -Theo
dore Lowe... whose magazine. The Na
tional Courier, is said to have been sup
ported by German money, was erroneous.
Colt jlade for Funds ,
This was made plain today when an
examination of correspondence recently
placed by A. Bruce Bielaski before the
committee showed that a man named
Morrison had been requested to call at
the German embassy for funds. The
only reference to Garthe in the letters
was one , in reference to editorials : to
appear in the Courier.
Upon the case of Senator Humbert,
which is still before the French courts,
Becker touched but lightly. Humbert
is accused of having been an accomplice
of Bolo in the plan for spreading defeat
ist propaganda through La Journal.
Becker said, however, that the propat
ganda had not amounted to much.
Speaking of the Bolo-Qrace negotia
tions, Becker said :
"There is nothing in this connection
that could be construed as improper ac
tivity on the part of the Bethlehem
company.'

Steel Shipyard in

Bayley Hipklns, Pacific coast man
ager for the Foundation -company, is
in Portland today, ' in conference with
local parties. Plans for the establish
ment, of a steel shipyard here by the
French government were announced as
being under consideration some weeks
ago. The Foundation company will turn
us iwentietn auxiliary schooner over
to the French government Christmas
Eve. On-the same date the company
will make a similar delivery at Tacoma.
Data regarding the local site of the
Foundation company wooden yard in
North Portland have already been pre
pared, and according to previous an
nouncement, the work of building the
steel yard will go ahead if the cost does
not appear too high.
Annapolis, Md., Dec U. P. The
end of competitive big navy building by
the nations of the .world was forecast
Wednesday by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, speaking before the conference
of governors in the state house.
"I look to see the peace congress put
an end to competitive big navy build
ing," said the secpetary, "but in a navy
strong enough' to enforce the decrees of
an international tribunal the United
States should contribute as many units
as any other nation. It lost less by the
war than any other great nation. It is
the richest nation and also has the long
est shore line. It should, therefore, con
tribute to the International police force a
large and powerful force.
Daniels ulso said : "It will be at least
a year it may be two years before we
can come back to normal Conditions, and
we will be fortunate if conditions abroad
make demobilisation possible at so early
a date." . , ,
Brazil's forests are estimated to cover
1,500,000 square miles, or about 48 per
cent of the country's area.

Washington, Dec IS. (X. N." 8.)
Secretary of. State Lansing was . asked
to Inform the senate. In a resolution
-by ' Senator Lodge this afternoon.
whether the press r report s that tne
American peace delegates are advocat
ing the destruction of the warships sur
rendered to the allies is correct. ' 1
"If so," the resolution asks, "by what
authority are the delegates to the peace
conference demanding the destruction of
enemy property in part surrendered to
the United States?"

of the ships. None has yet been. sold,
ha aald. thoueh Chairman Hurley has
for three weeks been trying to sell. The
board is trying- to get back the cost of

employment cannot be' found for more
than 350 wood ships in peace-ume com

What Would You
Pay for the Best Shoes
THERE is o much talk of high costs that one
may easily be led into paying more than a
thin if is worm.
It is true that shoe materials and workmanship
cost more these days than ever. It is true that it
pays to buy the best.
In time like these people hare a right to ex
pect manufacturers and retailers to do everything
in their power to ofrset the increases, in costs
help people to live up to their old standards of fine
quality. '
The Regal Shoe Company has found it possible
to meet these conditions in great part by improved
methods. The Regal factories are concentrated
on the choicest styles and leathers cutting out the
waste of needless variety. The Regal stores hold
to a determined plan of "less 'profit per pair but
quicker sales."
With twenty-five years experience inj shoe
making back of us we say to you : look for what is
back of the shoes, know who made them and what
that maker stands for. Get Regal Shoes if you
can but whatever shoes you buy be sure that you
are getting the intrinsic shoe value you pay for.
Illustrated here is the Pollyanna. Dainty
but serviceable. The best tailored shoe
we know, how to make. In genuine

- It takes the repaid man almoit
as much tirre and trouble to put'
on old-style, rubber heels as for a
little girl to get ready for a party.
: He can put on a pair of "Usco"
rubber heels in about as little time
as it takes brpther "Reddy" to get
Into the old swirnmin' hole.
The old-style flat rubber heel
is set on with rubber-cement and
tialls. It soon gaps: around the
edges, and gets frazzled and floppy.
The "Usco" rubber heel
u anchored for . keeos ; with
a few little nails and it takes
a spy glass to find the joint.
Furthermore . the- joints
never gap. y; : : - ' .7
