He is PLAYING with you; he will tenn

When you ure kopelessly beaten he
will be the arbiter of the situation
and will impose a peace that will be

French officers vainly informed the

soldiers had landed in France and
England and had marched through

a division Of American troops were

So the next cry was No annexa-
tons, no contributions" which was in
full swing when we arrived.
Nobody knew exactly what it
meant, but the sound of it was grand

Of Great Britain, France and America!
Great Britain is fighting merely to
get more colonies. France is fighting
merely to get Alsace and Lorraine.
The United States is fighting merely

Iperialism!
This went quite we'll for two weeks
and deceived many persons, reaching
even to the national council, where
folks usually have more sense. The
signal had been given; the agents In

Notorious German agents from
America spouted it, coupled with the
information that being Americans
they knew well the real aims of the

some stern Inquiries as to how France
was fighting for Alsace and Lorraine
when she was ruthlessly invaded, and
exactly where lay those islands for
the sake of which the United States
went into war.
Just before we left the same AGENTS
were to be seen running about Petro-
