SENSATIONAL
STORIES IN The
GERMAN PRESS


The Hague, Sept. Sit is learned
on good authority that the publication
of sensational stories which appeared
in German newspapers during the FIRST
days Of the war, such as the report
of "A French physician trying to infect
"a well i'm Alsace with typhoid baclllh
were secured by the German army oiil-
cials with a view of bestiring the peo-
pie TO watchfulness.
Stories like that of the infected well
were widely published. Lakes all over
the country were being poisoned. Rus
sian automobiles carrying great
quantity of gold were trying To cross
Germany from France The whole
country was swarming with spies.
The effect that these stories had, for
they were generally believed, led TO
the shooting Of many innocent per-
sons, including one German army cap
tain. and great Interruptions TO the
progress of high army personages on
important missions. The chief Of po-
lice in Stuttgart issued the following
bllNlsAl statement III lltH lll'ii' 'i''''''
the effect OF these sensational stories:
The populace is beginning To be-
come crazy. The streets are fun OF
old women Of both sexes who conduct
themselves in an unworthy manner.
Everyone sees i'm his neghbor French
or Russian spy, and considers 1t his
duty To beat him, together with the po-
liceman who tries To protect him, or
at least, 10 cause tremendous crowd
To collect and hand the supposed spy
over TO the police. Clouds are mis-
taken for aviators, stars for airships,
bicycle pumps for bombs. Telephone
and telegraph wires in the middle of
the city are believed 10 have been cut,
bridges blown up, spies shot and the
water supply poisoned. 1t is impossible
TO predict what form these eNtrava-
gances will assume when the situation
becomes really more earnest. AS a
matter of fact, not a single suspicious
thing has thus far occurred in Stutt-
CART.
