but they ecu id not obtain a complete

Hun Propaganda Starts
Coincident with^alt this is boginning
in Weimar. In Berne. In Oil district*
occupied by OmoriCan troop*, a mighty
Gorman propaganda designed to se
parate America from its European com
radea. deaigned to pureuade America
to become the champion of Germany
against the European nations aba hae
wronged and in the end enable Germ
any. by escaping retributive justice in
the ehape of indebnitiea for her wanton
devastation, to win the war. The burd
en of this monstrous German propa
ganda is this, “We Germane have eet
cur house in order. We have dethron
ed our emperor and our princes. We
have become democratic. In fact and
all responsibility for the crimes of the
past must be placed upon those whom
we have exiled of the old order.
“It is an act of Injustice, a deed of
violence, to make ua a new demo
cratic Germany, pay for damage done
by the wicked old Imperalistic regime.
Here we are with clean hands and re
formed national -spirit, taking to as
sociate ourselves se equals with na
tion? which pretend to accept Presi
dent Wilson's fourteen principles, but
in fact. Prance. Britain and their as
sociates are not seeking a just peace.
They are seeking to take our money,
our resources and our provinces for
imperalistic reasons and to destroy
Germany. The great indemnities they
would levy are unjust burden# they
are seeking to piece upon our baeka to
their own economic profit. We alone
accept President Wilson's doctrines as
he meant them, we alone ask a heal
ing peace. We are a new, pure demo
cratic nation."
It is at if a murderer auddenly got
religion and demanded that all his past
crimes be forgiven and forgotten, since
under the shadow of the gallows he
had embraced the true faith, not only
with readiness but with obvious enthu
siasm. TheGermene see clearly that
this is tneir single avenue of escape.
They can still win the war if they can
escape payig for the damage they have
wrought. 3 (1 leave devastated and
crippled France to pay not alone for
the cost of defending hrself, but for
the cost of reconstruction.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
MAY ESTABLISH BUREAU
LONDON _Ths setting up of a de
partment for public information is be
ing considered by the British govern
ment, Andrew Bonsr Law announced
in the bouse of cemmona Monday
night. He said that attention would
be given to the undesirability of com
mitting the government to propaganda
on acutely controversial questions,
but he thought there were many sub
jects on which information could be
circulated. The proposal to establish
a ministry of information is already a
rousing unfavorable criticism. The
Manchester Guardian say* that unless
such a department were made inde
pendent of the party in power, i tj
could only become skind of minister-1
i»l press agency, which would supply
newspapers gratis with camouflaged
information on the party war.
The Daily News eeye:
-We have had to tolerate spoon
feeding of the public during the war!
but that is no reason why we should
permit this form ef Rrustianiem be
coming a permanent pan of our pub-:
bile life."
