DANIELS ASSERTS
nation POISONED
BY FALSE RUM0RS
Conspiracy Behind Fake Re-
ports Of Naval Losses,

WASHINGTON, June o-Persis,-
ent false reports Of naval battles and
disaster to American and entente
forces have reached such a point, Sec
rctary Daniels has concluded there is
an organized conspiracy TO alarm the
American people Today the Sccre.
,ary issued the statement.
Country Being Poisoned
The country is being poisoned by
rumors Of battle and disaster that are
without the slightest foundation Re
port, from the commandantS OF naval
districts, kilograms from newspapers
and letters from individuals have
forced me TO conclude there is an OF
gln,cd conspiracy 10 distress the
people of the United States.
Among the most persistent OF these
false reports IS one that IN a naval en-
gagement between the German fleets
land the combined entente fleets
sixty ships OF the entente were sunk
or disabled. among them the pennsyl-
yania and the Texas
Hospitals Reported Filled
In elaboration oi this ialschood
there is the alleged rumot that hos.
pitals a, the Atlantic coast naval
yards arc filled with crippled sailors
and marines and ,ha, various hospital,
oi New York City are crowded with
wounded men
1T is being tumorcd widely that a
passenger arriving on one oi the
Holland American steamers has stated
chat hi, vessel passed through the
battle area after the engagement, and
,ha, the sea was thick with floating
hodie,
Conspiracy Alleged.
AN oi these outrageous ialsehood,
are accompanied by the explanation
that the Washington authorities are in
\ conspiracy with the press ~ keep
the truth from the people
NO such engagement has taken
place The American flee, has moi
been in action No ship has been lost
There arc no wounded sailors or ma.
tines IN any hospital
The declared policy of the nav,
department, Is one Of absolute open.
ness II disaster comes no effort will
he made TO minimize IT. The peopl,
oi the United States are asked tc
trust IN this pledge and 10 aid il
stamping Oh, this campaign bi fumoi

loyalty"
