The Sound Of
Hearst in German

Another set Of articles criticising
the supplying Of resources to the Al
lies, especially on the favorite Hearst
grounds that a apanese-American war
might break out at any moment and
that Germany is invincible, was
quoted By the KOelnische VOlks>eitUng
from issues Of the Nezc York Ameri-
ran Of May l6, II and Is. One, headed
"DisDersing Our Money and Men Over
the World is Ursound, Dangerous Pol
ICY" was as follows:
Lille Roosevelt. we are getting
tired Of so much oratory. II is about
time the heroics were put away in
mothballs. The Allies are
over here after four things-money,
food, ships and men-all Of which
can be summed up in the one word,
money, because that buys all the
other three.
"That is precisely what the Brit
ish, French and Italian commission
crs say they expect US TO do--to
provide them with money, ships and
food. But most certainly VIC must
not lose si0tt Of our own interests
or save others from bankruptcy
by irretrievably bankrupting our
selves.
There is long future ahead Of
US. No man can say when we may
be called upon TO meet the cost Of
another great war. No man can say
what coalition we may or may not
have 70 fight. II might be Japan,
Mexico and South America. II
might be Germany. Japan and Rus
sia. II might be England. Japan and
Mexico.
"All the Allies are begging US for
cash. England wants money-in
hcsPs-at 81 per cent. while she
nays her own people per cent and
demands per cent for money she
lends France, Italy, Russia. Canada
and AustTalia. All the world
seems 20 be headed toward our ma
tonal treasury. And Mr.. McAdoo
ardently believes in the Scripture,
watch AYERS that the Lord loveth a
cheerful giver."

sent Although no quotation was maze,
the Continental Times OF October ~
gave eloquent testimony Of the Vaiue
assigned % the Hearst press oy inc
German propagandist. II printed an
article under the heading "Provocatlchs
of United States Against Germany
Frankly Told of in Leading American
Newspeper," and sub-heading read-
ing: From the very first, neutrality
was openly broken and the great repuD'
lie acted in most important respects as
a belligerent supporting the Ailles IN
every material manner" The article
said:
at is a great mistake to imagine
that the representative press organs
of the United States have headquar-
tiers in New York. Ii is quite to the
contrary. The newspapers Of New
York which are especially wen
known on this side OF the water,
namely, The Tribune, Times, Sar,
WoriG and Herald. are all under
influences distinctly non-American.
They arc merely cosmopolitan sheets'
objected by men or inspired by IN
huences which make them European
organs, and not really representa-
tive American newspapers in the true
sense.
There is a series o. leading news
papers controlled by Mr.. Hearst, and
published in the principal cities of
the United States, all with the same
title Of The american, These news
papers form a girdle of independent
press organs from the East to the
West of the United States All are
newspapers which have stood out
free and independent-that really
have represented American opinion
and are not bastardized newspapers,
such as those OF the capital which.
saturated with European sentiments.
bow the knee to everything foreign.
"Those real American newspapers
strove until the very last TO tell their
countrymen the truth, for which all
praise 20 them! They sought to keep
America from being drawn into
war the end of which none can fore
see. They opposed a stem which, 1t
is recognized, has been made in con-
tradiction OF all true ideas of sound
American policy.
William Randolph Hearst, in his
American has ever since the decla-
ration of war striven TO point out to
his compatriots the superhuman nat
ure Of the task which threatens By
engulf the Union, as was shown by
his publishing the Pershing mission
report-a terrible warning 70 the
United States-which the pro-Eng-
lish New York newspapers carefully
withheld from their readers. He has
also dared to reflect the opinions Of
millions of his countrymen by sug-
costing that the Papal note and the
reply of the Central Powers thereto
formed an ample foundation for
peace negotiations.
"For his pains, taken in the inter
ests of his fellow citizens and in the
interest Of humanity, MIR. Hearst is
now described by The New York Trib-
une as a traitor to his country"

The lndelible Hues
OF Disloyalty

that the article referred to aboUe,
qaoted By tho ~'HGmburger Mach
richten,' probably from, the "Welt
Korrcspondenz," and then reprint
cd IN the "SUedish Aftonbladet,"
iCas a Hearst editorial. The hues
of disloyalty are indeLibLe. They
hare IN this case survived three
trdnslations Of teri. The article
,oGs translated first into German,
then into SWedish, and back into
English again. The original, as it
appeared IN "The NeW York
American" on May 8, 1917, stall

From The New York American. May 81
THAT Is the general impression.
isn't it-that Germany cannot win
and is slowly being beaten and
starved into defeat?
well, the facts are these: The
Allied offensives in France have
been horribly bloody failures; the
French people are in a fury of indig-
nation over the fatal plumbers of
Nivelle and are loudly demanding
that the officers responsible for the
frightful slaughter of the last three
weeks ard more be condignly pun
ished; the British offensive has been
stopped dead in its tracks, with the
most dreadful slaughter of the whole
war; Won Hindenburg's switch
trenches and machine gun nests have
proved a perfect defence against the
British artillery preparation and in
fantry mass assaults, and the French
government knows and the British
government knows and our govern
ment ought 10 know that the military
situation has developed wholly in ia
vor of Hindenburg. and that the Al
lies have not one chance in ten of vic
tory and hardly one in three of stav-
ing off complete defeat-unless
America can perform the twin mir
acles of rescuing England from the
submarine and of putting enough
troops in France to beat of the Of
fensive which the Germans are now
beginning to develop. :.
Eve tell you plainly that in mill
tary, naval and economic way the
Germans have the Allies whipped,
and that without our intervention
there was not a doubt that Germany
would have VIGOROUSLY dictated
peace before this year was gone. .
"And why would you not believe
The fvufh1
"Why, because you were deceived
and deluded by the lying censorship
because you believed the prepos
ferrous and almost self-evident lies of
this clumsy and stupid and fatally
disastrous censorship.
"And we have been plunged into
war without preparation with the
most powerful single nation in the
world, equipped to the last shOelace
with every possible necessity of war
fare, filling the seas with her subma-
rine navy, covering half continent
with her veteran armies, and every
where winning her way, with blood
and iron. against her foes.
do you imagine that We can make
good our defence against such bat
tering-ram of war as that by initial
ing England's clumsy and stupid con-
trivance of keeping the people in ig
norance of what is being done by way
of defence?"
