ght,' and is whispered from one to
| another until the whole community
is uneasy and agitated.
Sometimes the rumor is that a
transport has been sunk with an
American regiment on board; some
times the story whispered by the
German agent is that there has been
mutiny; in such cases the camp
and the regiments engaged in the
outbreak are named. Sometimes he
poses as an Englishman or a Cana
dian with a friend or relative in the
army or in the Foreign Office, and in
this case the British are holding
their army at home and making the
French and Colonials do their fight
ing for them
It is the duty of patriotic citizens
to challenge every dubious whisper
ed tale that tends to cast suspicion

at war.
And the army at home, composed
of intelligent men and women, loyal
in every respect, full of confidence,
eager to help those who are fighting,
determined to do their part as Amer
leans, can do a wonderful work by
being always ready to prove the fall

and distrust upon the United State
Government and thus hamper the
prosecution of the war. Following
are three definite things for all loyal
! Americans to do when they come in
contact with one of the lies of the
agents of the Kaiser:
demand facts and sources of
information whenever you hear a
story that you do not know to be
| true.
2-Trace the story back to the
person-man or WOman-Who first
told it in your community.
3-Report the names of the per-
sons circulating the story and the
nature of the statement.
And do not forget that to assist in
| the circulation Of these lies is furn-
ishing aid to the enemy.
! To pass on ole of these false re
ports is equivalent to sticking a knife
| into the back OF an American soldier
| in France
! This department is started by The
| Bulletin to aid in nationwide
movement TO rthe exposure of the
nefarious work Of the German "Fa-
ble-Brigade. Lies will be identi-
| fed and segregated so the public will
| not be misled by them.
LIE NO. PA woman spy known
as Anna Huitems has been executed
| in the United States.
(The persistent repetition of this
rumor has caused the State Depart
| ment to send an official denial to
American consuls and legations III
the European neutral countries. The
report started in Germany. It's wide
spread use is regarded as another
case of propaganda. Ordinarily, no
attention would be paid to a tale so
palpably false. In this case, cred
ence appears to have been given to it
in neutral countries.)
LIE NO. 1:S--The U-boat No. So
last year brought to shore the final
section of a specially constructed
submarine cable of small diameter
The land end of it is in small
house standing fifteen feet from the
shore line. about six miles east of
Newport, R. l. The cable leads to
the northwest coast of Norway, and
then overland to Maine, Sweden,
where it connects with the German
Baltic cable
CThis story, invented by some Ger
man propagandist with a Jules
Verne" imagination, is branded as a
fable by officials of the Navy De-
partment.)
LIE NO. 1.-THE United States
Navy dashed down to the coast OF
Egypt and had big battle with the
German fleet. The result of the bat
tie is still in doubt.
(The NAVY Department was uuicL
to show the falsity of this wildcat
yarn.)
LIE NO. 15-A German U-boat
was seen today off the coast of
Maine.
(This is a favorite lie of the prop |
agandists and pops up as regularly |
as the gas bill. Maybe someone told |
you about it today 1t has been de- /
MED time and time again by naval |
officials. The purpose of this yarn is |
to terrify the American people and |
destroy the morale of the nation.
LIE NO. 16-Germany has con-
a large fleet of super-sub-
marines which have cruising radi- |
us of 10000 miles. for attack on the I
American coast. Some of these boats !
are aYs&G the way to America.
british and American submarine
hunters in the North Sea declare that
the Huns are using smaller type of
U-ooats than this yarn indicates. as |
the larger type cannot avoid nets and |
otnef traps set for them.

senator to succeed the late Paul O.
Husting until the regular election in
the fall of next year In that event
there would be no contest until the

that Attorney F. r. Bentley OF Bara-

Concerning Mr. Dithmar the Madi-

Lieutenant Governor Dithmar may

never has wavered in his allegiance
to the senior senator, but he prob
ably would run, if he did enter the

WILLING To
PAY HIS SHARE
lFrom Saturdays daily.0

This morning a farmer walked into
the First National bank and said that
he had read a sreat deal about the
farmers not subscribing fee liberty
loan bonds. He added that he was
perfectly willing to do his share and
would mortgage a house and lot in
town for $500 and pay six per cent
interest to obtain the money to help
Uncle Sam. He was patriotic and
loyal, for this meant a loss of two per
cent. He did not happen to have the
ready money, but would sacrifice in
order to raise the cash to make the
purchase.
