FASCINATING STORY OF
OUTWITTING GERMANS.
Hun Intrigue in This Country Told to
Newport Audience by Represent
ative of RathOm.

Newport Audience by Represent
ative of Rathom.
Those who were privileged to lis
ten to Arthur Fairbrother in Lanes
opera house, Newport, Wednesday
evening of last week, were held spell
bound by his story of the work of
John r. Rathom, publisher of the
Providence Journal, in his work of
exposing German propaganda in this
country Mr.. Fairbrother came to
Newport under the auspices of the
Y. NJ. [. C.
The story is more fascinating than
any fiction but has been little known
until very recently. For months af-
ter the Providence Journal published
exposure after exposure of German
plots, the public did not believe that
they could be true and the United
States government, which at first
would scarcely listen to Mr.. Rathom
as he laid proof before it, was finally
forced to acknowledge widespread
German propaganda in the nation.
Rathom has had difficult task to
convince the government and the peo-
pie that he was not doing this as a
commercial enterprise for his paper,
but it is now acknowledged in official
circles that John R. Rathom, more
than any other individual, made clear
the necessity Of war against Ger
many by his marvellous work.
