Becker, dep uty State attorney general, who de clared his department is fast "weld ing tpgether the eyidence." Geb. von Skal, 'of New York, who worked under Capt. Franz von Papen, military attache of the German em bassy, had been "arraigned" as early, as 1909, he had admitted, acording to Mr. Becker. "I happened to be in Berlin in 1909 anal met the chief of the intelligence office," Mr. Becker says von Skal stated, "Ho. told me he had often thought of men, because if a war broke out, they wanted to have some body here in the military attache's of fice who could be in touch with the press and who could tell them what might be (lone with the press." Von Skal, who is a a naturalized American, agreed to do the work as long as America did not become in volved in any war, according to Mr. Becker. Propaganda in Turkey Evidence which has been secured, Mr. Becker declared, showing Ger many began propaganda work in Turkey at least a year before war was declared on France ,and Russia. Sali Gurdji, now living in New York, but formerly president of the Ottoman Telegraph Agency, the offi cial news organization of the Turkish Government, was approached by the German ambassador in Constantinople and offered 40,000 marks to exploit German ;ronaganda through the agency. He later was offered 100,000 marks, but refused both offers. Then according to Mr. Becker, he was summoned before the chief of po lice and ordered to close his agency, which was taken over by the German agents. Gurdji fled for his life and it! took all the skill of neutral diplomats to save the lives of his family. In America, Mr. Becker said, the propaganda work was actually started as soon as Dr. Bernard Dernberg ar rived here. Mr. Becker said he has traced 40,000 as paid in 1915 from the joint accounts of Dr. Heinrich F. Al bert, former financial attache of the German embassy, and former ambas sador von Bernstorff to barious al leged propagandists. --W-S-S AUSTRIA REPORTED ON BRINK OF STARVATION London, Aug. 18.--Turnips, weeds, W nettles, and an occasional sick dog, e costing $25, form the chief food for the great bulk of Austria-Hungary's population, according to a comprehen sive review of the economic situation in the dual monarchy by a frontier correspondent of the Daily Express. Thousands of deaths occur weekly as a result of underfeeding or actual starvation. The economic situatio in Germany is described as almost equally bad. It is declared doubtful if Austria-Hungary can last through another winter without an empire wide hunger revolution. A few ounces of indigestible bread, weeds and nettles, called "spinach substitute," constitute the daily dole for which tens of thousands of Vienna men, women and children arc scram bling. Factories are idle. The weork ers have not the strength to work. Mail trains passing through coun try stations i'e besieged by mobs of half-starved villagers begging and fighting for a few crumbs from the tables in the (lining cars. Even the crowded hospitals are short of food. TPhe daily papers print many col umns of advertisements inserted by starving citizens. A feather bolster, is offered for ten poundls of flour; baby clothes and bed linen for drip ping; a winter jacket for a coul of eggs. ul .Germany here:elf, reciuced to starva tion rations, is unable to help her ally, Some of the stock of food that had been reserved for the German army has been sent to Austria-Hungary toI avert revolt in the dual monarchy, but this supply was insignmficant an the only result has been increasedl dis satisfaction andl hostiiiay 'n both countries. .Germany wvill reap :nec new harvests ia few weeks, but all reports are that it falls far short of expectations, ardI it can (do nothing to alleviate the damaluge already (lone to the national efficiency and the industrial and m ili tary output. Hunger, typhus, dysentery andl con sumption arec rampant. .Meanwhile the rien have little or no trouble securing food, though at exorbitant prices. Smugglers risk their lives bringing butter and bacon from Holland or D~ei,,iark for which they obta in $5 a pound. Eggs can be bought for 18 cents a piece.
