brought face to face with evidence that people one has
always regarded intelligent have nothing but dead wood

But not all the carrying of tales is due to stupidity and
ereououslsss Some of the men and women who repeat
the lies about sickness in the canonmen of transports de-
sroyed at and regarding the work that the patriotic
men and women of the country are doing know full well
that they lies but they pass them on because of some
quk in their souls which makes possible for them to get
pleasure out of doing mean and contemplate things.
But whatever it that makes men nd women play This
German game they are not entitled to any consideration
