LANSING WARNS
OF INSIDIOUS
PEACE PLOTS
Says Germany Is Spending
Money Freely To Halt
II S Preparedness
WOULD ENLIST THE
PACIFIST ELEMENT
Same Plan Met Conspicu-
Gus Success In Russia
And Some In France

Washington, Sept. 13.-Germany Is
fighting the United States now with
the dissemination of insidious peace
propaganda in this country, design
ed TO halt Americas preparations
for war.
This is the warning uttered by
Secretary OF State Robert Lansing.
He possesses evidence Of the scope
OF this propaganda and Of the ma
chinery for it's dissemination. which
he contemplates making public when
the secret service completes investi-
gaLions expected TO result in sensa-
tional arrests.
Mr.. Lansing said the headquarters
Of the German peace propaganda
is I'm Zurich, Switzerland.
The secretary makes this warning
because the administration several
days ago decided to reveal the true
purpose OF the German peace
maneuvering, which is to enlist the
pacifist elements in this country
in a concerted peace movement, de-
signed to weaken the hand OF the
President in carrying out his great
war program.
The administration desires people
to be on their guard against antici-
pated German peace tricks. There Is
to be q German answer to the pope's
peace proposal, a speech to the
reichstag by Chancellor Michaelis on
peace, in either or both OF which,
IL is expected, German autocracy
will contrive to arouse hope here
that the war will be ended before
American armies go into action next
spring.
The Prussians have ample evil
dence the United States will have an
army of 100000 men by next sum-
mer and rs preparing for war Of
several years duration, IL necessary,
TO overthrow Prussian autocracy. II
Germany could contrive to slow down
the machinery In the slightest de-
gree, II would be the gamer when
the 1918 campaign opens.
Germany has miners and sappers
hard at work among all the people
with which II is at war. Berlin has
expended millions on this propa-
ganda, with conspicuous success in
Russia and some success in France.

Preparations for Second Is
sue Proceed Rapidly
Increase Committee

Preparations for the sale of the
second issue Of Liberty Bonds are
being made as rapidly as possible by
the state committee. Of which L. B.
Hanna. Fargo. is chairman.
Special attention viii be paid in
the Forthcoming campaign to COM
mand the interest az the rural in
vestors. For the most part, the first
loan was taken in the cities and
towns. although there were many
farmers who made investments.
Now, however. with at least a
good portion Of this state having
harvested good paying crop, the
reports indicate that a great many
farmers are ready and willing to
contribute to the next loan, to the
end that North Dakota will be en-
abled to maintain its portion of the
loan burden.
Enlarge the Committee.
: It is likely that the executive
committee will be increased from
five to eleven members. Mr.. Hanna
has recommended such step to the
Federal Reserve bank in Minneapo-
lis.
II the plan Is adopted, each of the
committee members will be made
responsible for a group of counties.
The same county organization as
heretofore would be maintained.
Bonds Will Be Delivered.
The first bonds will be delivered
by the government before the second
campaign is placed under way. The
first Of the Liberty bonds were re-
ceived in Minneapolis a few days
ago, and will be distributed as rapid
ly as possible.
II is likely that the active selling
campaign will not open until Oct Is.
