 Foreign Office and the League of Truth"
 All IS SuDpOSeu tO De protected but not even when I filed affidavits in the foreign office in 1916, made by the ex-secretary of the League of Truth and by man who was constantly with Marten and the dentist. that Marten had threatened to shoot me, did the foreign office dare or wish to do anything against this ridic- ulous league. These affidavits were corroborated by respectable restau- rant keeper in Berlin and his assist ants, who testified that Marten with several ferocius looking German of flcers had come to his restaurant looking for me. I never took any pre- caution against these lunatics, whom knew to be a bunch of cowardly swindlers.
 Marten and his friends were also en- gagged in a propaganda against the Jews.
 The activities of Marten were caused Dy the fact that he made money out of ms propaganda, as numerous fool Ger mans and traitorous Americans cvn- tributed to his war chest, and by the fact that his work was so favorably received by the military that this husky coward was excused from all | military service.

The Unqratefui Poles

The German governor general of Poland complains that the Poles do not appreciate the kind military government they have received hands of their new German masters. He seems somewhat surprised that the ungrateful Poles the hand that has brought kind of to them because it is all for the good of the country.
 Perhaps the Poles have before them the history of the tyrannical and brutally oppressive assures applied to the Poles of that part of Poland which has been held In Prussian bondage for many years Pos sibly they recall the savage long continued ef- forts of the Germans to destroy the race of Poles because they had failed utterly Prussianize their spirit It is just possible that they remembered against the German invaders the destruction of their schools and the elimination of their language
 It is true that Russia treated them no better under the autocracy But that help the present situation in the least. Poland has as little reason to rejoice in German domination it had in that of the Russian There is small reason for beaten slave to rejoice in change brutal masters
 If the governor general will just look back little ne will have less for surprise at the peculiar fact that the Poles do seem to enjoy benevolent assimilation of the sort that Germany is practcing

 l can recall now only two writers in all Germany who dared to say a good word for America. One of these, Regierungsrat Paul Krause, n-in- law Of Field Marshal von der Goltz, wrote an article in January, 1917, in the Lokal Anzeiger, pointing out the American side of the question of this munition shipment, and that bold and fearless speaker and writer Maximilian Harden, dared to make a defense of the Amer ican standpoint. The principal article Tn one of the issues of his paper, Die Zukunft. was headed If l Were Will son. After some copies had been sold the issue was confiscated by the police. whether at the instance of the military or the instance of the chancellor I do not know.

German Hate for American Shipments
 of Munitions
 There was published in Berlin in English a rather ridiculous paper called Continental Times" owned by an Aus trian Jewess who had been married to an Englishman. The foreign office after the outbreak cf the war virtually took over this sheet by buying monthly many thousand copies. News colored hysterically to favor the central em- pires was printed in this paper, which was headed "A Paper for Americans" under the editorship of an Englishman of decent family named Stanhope, who, of course in consequence did not have to inhabit the prison camp at Ruhleben. Edwin Emerson was a contributor to this newspaper and scurrilous articles attacking President Wilson appeared. Finally, Emerson wrote a lying article for this paper, in which he charged that Conger. of the Associated Press, had learned of Sir Roger Easements pro posed expedition; that Conger told me; that l cabled the news to Washington to the state department, and that member of President Wilson's cabinet then gave the information to the Brit

His newspaper is a weekly publication a little book about seven inches by four and a half, but yielding an influence not at all commensurate with it's size.

Prohibition Is Workino

An agency interested in arrestng the spread of prohibition is issuing regularly circulars pamph- lets to prove that prohibition does not prohibit We learn from them that in some places soft drinks spiked" with alcoholic compounds are being pedded to soldiers; that a in Denver died from drink ing a violet cocktail in which Jamaica ginger fig ured, that Virginia fire chief was arrested for bootegging; that two men died from drinking boot leg whisky etc If all this proves anything it proves that prohibition is working very well; that it's opera ton is quite satisfactory The more people who suc eumb o these substitutes for pure whisky the fewer there will be to take similar risks Their lives have not been given in vain.
 When we learn that extraordinary and skillful
 methods are employed to introduce whisky into for bidden territory we may be pretty sure that the law Is being enforced and that while few people may be drinSing liquor, who would be drinking it. II they could get it, are not doing

 Government newspapers and politi- clans all united in opposing America. Germans Now Bitterly Hate German Americans
 I believe that today all the bitterness of the hate formerly concentrated on England has now been concentrated on the United States. The German Amer jeans are hated worse than the native Americans. They have deeply disap- pointed the Germans; first, because, al though German Americans contributed enormously toward German war chari- tics. the fact of this contribution was not know to the recipients in Germany. Money sent to the German Red Cross from America was acknowledged by the Red Cross, but no publicity was given in Germany to the fact that any of the money given was from German Americans. Secondly, because the Ger man. Americans did not go to Germany, as they might have gone through neu- tral countries with American passports and enter the German army, and thlrd
