"I obtained from. Fox his original

"and he admitted he never saw any
of the atrocities referred to and that
to his knowledge none of them ever
was committed. Fox was given cour

other correspondent was able to ob

Hearst and Wilson Confer
Captain Lester said that as a re
sult of a request by President Wilson
at a personal Interview with William
Randolph Hearst, changes were made
in the film play "Patrla" produced
serially In the United States early In
1917 picturing Japan and Mexico In
an alliance against the United States.
The witness cited this film as one
bearing earmarks of German propa
ganda. Fox, Captain Lester teitltled,
was sent to Germany In 1915 ly the
German embassy ostensibly as t cor
respondent of the Wlldman News
paper and .Magazine syndicate and
also was employed by the Correspon
dents Film company, which the wit
ness said was financed by the Ger
man government. The managers of
the Wlldman syndicate did not know
ot Fox's connections with the Gor
man embassy, so far as Captain Les
ter knew.
Captain Lester explained that op
erations in Europe ot the Hearst ser
vice to which he referred were stop
ped by the British government in Oc
tober 1916. He added that he
thought the day service of this or
ganization had never been resumed.
Fox and Halo Pro-Gerinan
Captain Lester said he had read
many of Fox's articles written in
Germany and all were "sheer propa
ganda." Replying to a question by Senator
King of Utah, whether there was any
evidence that the newspapers for
which Fox wrote knew ot his connec
tion with the German government.
Captain Lester said he had no such
information.
He said he had read articles by
many correspondents in Germany at
that time and those written by Wil
liam Bayard Hale and Fox were more
pronouncedly pro-German than any
others. 1
