German Lies Spread in U. S. Tell
of "Tumulty's Arrest as Spy''

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Nov.
27.--The old lady who spoke well
OF everyone. and who called at.
,ention to the Devils virtues OF
patience and persistency. could
also point out some admirable
traits Of the German spy propa.
ganda In this country.
The number OF canards set
afloat by word OF mouth or put
on ticker wires In the past nine
months is past all counting.
Some OF these stories have
spread all over the country:
others have been purely local.
Many Of them show a high order
OF imagination and versatility.
quite a few OF them point to a
common source and deliberate
propagation.
The most cruel form OF this
underhanded campaign is the
calling up by phone OF relatives
OF men known to be In the army
and navy and telling them that
their loved ones have been
slain. The navy and war de-
partments have been kept busy
reassurinE victims OF this form
OF propaganda.
Ground for this work was laid
previously by widespread re.
ports OF transport sinkings with
great loss OF life.
Here are few OF the German
canards circulated recently.
