SILLYSTOHIES ,
(Hy Associated Press)
MEXICO CITY, March 2.—False and
alarming reports being printed by antt
American, pro-German papers here
are begining to prove something of
boorhernng, despite the clever loop
holes left for papers to crawl throug «.
when subsequent events prove then
accusations groundless. So often hav
the German propagandists cried “wolf
without that animal appearing,, the
even (hose Mexicans’most distrustiuPi
of the United States are beginning to
doubt not only the accuracy of stories
aimed at fometing trouble with Uncle
Sam, but the entire contents of their
cable pages.
Recently one newspaper announced
under big headlines that American
troops were on the point of. being
landed at Tampico. They were not
landed, however, and the paper was
forced to drop this lead, seemingly
having negiected to frame an explana
tion in advance should its news prove
false. Later, however, this defect was
remedied. This time it was Canada
and Cuba, instigated by the United
States, who were to seize various Gulf
oi Mexico ports to prevent a threaten
ed German submarine campaign in the
gulf against entente oil tankers from
Tampico.
The fact that the ports were not
seized was explained by the newspa
pers as due to the fact that secrecy
was necessary to the plot, and that
hese papers, having exposed the con
spiracy, made its successful compte
ion impossible.
In addition to playing up In exte&a
ihese wild yarns, these papers print,
with distortions and misleading headl
ines, every piece of news that can be
wiBted into intimating that the United
Rates is constantly scheming to se
ure a pretext to occupy either all of
dexico or the Tampico oil regions.
Phe dominant tone of the jhurnals ia
inti-American, rather than opeaely
iro-German, although to peruse their
olumns would lead the reader to be
ieve that the entente allies every day
vere on the point of giving up the
truggle.
