"NEWS" FROM WASHINGTON.
1t isn't safe to believe all the news
from Washington you read in the
newspapers. Correspondents don't
know all that is going on. They pick
up what information they can get,
piece it together and write a story.
Sometimes one of them has a bunch
and straightway builds a story from
it. One of the things President Viii
son has protested against persistent
ly has been the constant misrepre-
sentation of his policies in the
news" telegraphed out of Washing
ton Sec'y Houston once illustrated
this to me. One Saturday morning
the papers all over the country pub
lished a Washington story pretend
ing to give the circumstantial details
of a discussion at a cabinet meeting
the day before. Yet Sec'y Houston
said that the subject was not only
not mentioned at that particular cab
met meeting, but had never been
brought up at any other cabinet
meeting. Much of the news" COM
ing out of Washington about dipIo-
matte moves is guesswOrk. Some of
the stories have been built up on tips
given out at the different foreign en-
bassies and intended to influence
public opinion as one or another Of
the embassies wanted it Influenced.
In other words, the foreign diplomats
were press-agenting - using the
newspapers to play their own game

NORTHCLIFFE.-Lord Northcliffe
is reported as not wanting the United
States to get into the war. It may
be the man who is ruling England
doesn't want any of the neutrals to
sit in when England, France, Russia,
Italy ct al proceed to fix the terms
of peace. Possibly he doesn't like
Wilson's idea about the freedom Of
the seas, but likes better the idea
that Brittania rules the waves and
doesn't want peace terms that would
wane that rule. If Northcliffe doesn't
want US in, then maybe the Kaiser
does. Diplomacy doesn't always
mean what it says.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-07

If you were to check up on the Wash
ingtOn stories you read you'd be
amazed at how many of them don't
pan out at all. But each fake makes
two stOries-one of them is the fake
and the other it's subsequent denial.
Within the past few days there was a
story of the seizure Of the German
ships interned in American harbOrs.
Finally it was followed up by another
story of the official denial by the
president of its truth. Fact report
ing is long ways from being an ex-
act science in the United States.
There is too much peddling of rumor
and OpiniOn-tOO much public senti-
ment founded on false information.
SWITZERLAND Situated as she
is, no one could expect Switzerland
to join other neutrals in following
the U. S. in its policy toward Ger
many. Switzerland and Holland are
too close to Germany was Bel
GUM. And self-preserYation is the
first law Of nature.

GERMANY WANTS NJ PEACE BUT
 WITH SWORD ;
(By Associated Press ]

BERNIE. Nov. 21.-Significant as 10 the spirit that prevails in some circles in Germany is the latest issue of the Koelnische Vodkszeitung. always a supporter of the claim that the Ger man people are behind the annexa- tionists and want no peace but one bought with the sword. It says:
 If one rides on German railroads. if one goes to the cafes and public places of the big cities where one meets our soldiers coming from or going to the field, one can hear again and again words and sentences from the socialistic press that actually are great danger for the determination to hold out, for the unity and unanim- ity in the army and behind the front for the desire to be victorious and to see it through.
 'In all these phrases of the so- cial democratic press there recurs over and over again the one that the war is being conducted only for the big fellows that those who wish for our fatherland an honorable peace that shall assure future development are paid by the big industrials' or are serving capitalistic interests, that the annexationists alone are res ponsible for the third year of war and possibly the coming war winter. All the islanders circulated to super fluity about war makers and annexa- tionists are bobbing up again."

AN ASTOUNDING DIS
CLOSURE

- ROM our standpoint the
most astounding develop
ment since the outbreak
of the war consists in the effort
of the German government to
enlist Mexico and Japan in war
fare against the United States.
The episode puts an entirely
different face upon affairs.
Heretofore it has been a Euro
pean quarrel; the effrOnts to
the United States being Incl
dental rather than direct,
therefore not taken in deadly
earnest by most of our people,
who desire if possible to see
Europe take care of its own
war.
Germany's attempted in
trigue with Japan and Mexico
Is a horse of another color, to
use the vernacular. It is an
effort to involve US in a serious
race war, an invasion of our
southwestern states by Mexico
being one of the features. 1t is
something to make us wide
awake and very watchful to say
the least.
The fact the German move
seems hair Drained and too
fanciful to be true does not les
sen the Teutonic offence in the
ieast. Their motive would not
have been worse had the plan
succeeded. The discovery of
the Zimmerman note will cause
a revulsion Of sentiment against
Germany in this country and
unite the people very earnestly
back of the administration in
any line OF action it may see
wise TO take, even TO actual en-
trance into the war. We de-
sire TO remain at peace, to be
sure, and the president viii do
right in showing the greatest
possible patience on the SUBJ
iect. but such tricks as this by
Germany or any other foreign
power are intolerable. Il Is
time for the United States 90
look closely 10 its armaments.
