Protection in Australia.

The commonwealth of Australia has
recently established prohibitive import
regulations, and in the course of the dis
cussion of the subject the minister for
customs explained that the purpose was
to discourage the importation of luxuries
or Particles which the government thinks
can be made in Australia, and conse-
quently give more work to Australian
workmen" 1t is safe to say that the
Australians are not learning economics

Lying For Germany

German spy work is being car
ried on in this country in form
that is particularly malevolent and
mischievous, even though it does
not go to the point of s.destroylng
property. 1t is designed to destroy
faith, which is worse even han the
blowing up of mills or ships. 1t
takes the fern of tie spreading of
stories. lies of the first water, cal
culated to shake confidence in the
honesty and efficiency Of the gov
eminent and the agencies associat-
ed with it in the prosecution Of the
war.
These lies relate to the camps.
describing them as swept by sick
ness, the scenes of terrible suffering
among the men,. They tell of the
oYerfeedng and also the under
feeding of troops. They tell Of
graft in the food and fuel admins
trations, graft in the Red Cross,
the sale of supplies particularly
the sale of sweaters Knitted by the
people of the proIigal waste OF
public money in Instruction work
and war relief u'"asur S.
The latest lie rakes the form OF
an alleged Letter from On American
soldier to - member of his family
here, telling of serious battles
fought by our troops in France, in
which our losses are terribly heavy.
These lying letters are planted in
pubic places, writing rooms, hotel
lobbies and other points where peo-
Pile are continually passing Need
less to say that the letters are all
false, written here and designed to
spread the belief that the United
States is engaged in losing ven
ture.
All of these lies are deliberately
invented and put forth with the
knowledge that the people are
prone believe unfavorable insinua-
tions and charges. The sweater"
lie persists despite the most specific
official denials. 1t is to be heard
on every side. and yet nobody has
yet been found who has the tale at
first hand. 1t is always around
the corner" There are at least
two intervening persons. This is
the fundamental nature of rumor,
the source of which is never reach

1t is the duty of patriotice per-
sons to combat this seditious
SANDER, whatever from it takes
Whoever spreads these rep~rts is
is committing grave wrong. TO
repeat any one of these malicious
lies, deigned to discourage contribu-
