All wore regula- ti0n uniforms of olive drab. leggings and field hats They were a manly set and almost each boy wrote a postal home io his papa and mamma the first thing on arrival Many au- thorities claim that the boy scout movement is destined to prove the most inanortant one gotten up for the last 100 years. Let il be as it is may, the fact is. that if ii had start ed 20 years earlier we would have been prepared by this time to fight a dozen German empires.

GERMANY VIEW IS
NOT SWISS VIEW
propazanda In Switzerland Gets Con-
troll OF Newspapers and Spends
Millions.

Berne-( Correspondence Of The AS
ISOLATED ress1-Probably at no time
since the war began has German prop
uganda been more aggressiyely active
in Switzerland than at present.
Those who are following the Ger
man campaign declare that uncounted
millions are being spent and that the
expenditures have increased since the
day not SO very many months ago,
when counter efforts were begun
counter efforts that with a compare
lively insignificant amount of money
have accomplished wonders by their
tact and clegerness.
The German propaganda il operated
In a score of ways, but the chief meth
cd Is the presentation of the German
viewpoint and German news in the
papers. but because lit is clumsy it is
vastly less effective than the outlay
should warrant. In brief. Germany
has tried and is trying to influence
Swiss public opinion as If the Swiss
people could clearly understand the
German way Of thinking.
AS the basis Of its propaganda work
here, Germany acquired a number OF
newspapers in Switzerland-several
| in the German language and one pub
lished in French, the latter now under
suspension. Similarly, the Swiss
papers in the German language. are
quite as obviously German as the Ber-
lin Lokalanzeiger or the Cologne Ga
zette except that they are immeasur-
ably less able.
Then the Germans acquired OF
started whole series Of news agen-
cies through which to distribute their
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-11-30

followed by sympathetic editorials In
German papers popular here commits
Grating with Switzerland in its strug-
gle against Yankee oppression.
A third propaganda method which
began early to operate and still -four
ishes, is that of literature" that is
distributed by the ton. Switzerland
is flooded with it, and the protests
that have been raised have come in
a surprising number Of cases from
German Switzerland. The procedure
is 'techt deutsch It is one that has
been followed in Holland, In Scandi-
navia, in all the neutral countries
since the beginning of the war.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-11-30

news. Soon. however, these agencies
added another and vastly more irn-
portant function, that of collecting
and transmitting news from countries
at war with Germany--news, however,
carefully colored IL not actually dis
torted. It was in this direction that
the German propaganda began to be
gerously effective.
While German newspapermen them
selves could only roost along the ltal-
ian border at Luganq, and the French
at Geneva, and transmit colored news
from Italian and French newspapers
to Germany, the neutral Swiss cor
respondents OF the so-called "Swiss"
agencies had free access TO Italy and
France They carefully chose all the
misleading, even though technically
accurate, news they could squeeze by
the censor. If a sensational and un-
influential deputy In the French or
Italian chamber makes an attack on
the government, it is faithfully flashed
to Switzerland. IL a score of women
in Rome threw stones during q pro-
test meeting, Switzerland heard of the
"rioting" that is gravely menacing the
established order in Italy.
With Americas entry into the war
the agencies went a step farther and
rendered another important service to
Germany, for some Of them began to
send, both to Switzerland and to Ger
many, distorted news from the United
States. Again and again the reliable,
the genuinely Swiss journals, issued
denials or published the correct news.
| The first effect was not to be corrected
! by later stories.
I The general trend of this American
news concerns the embargo and Amer
I iea's intentions toward Switzerland
Every story In a. list that would fill
a scrap book tended to show that the
United States had the intention OF
/ starving its little sister republic Not
even an announcement by Switzer-
lands president that from authentic
reports he knew food was underway
or soon to start could Offset the effect
/ of the first stories. And they had
meantime gone to Germany and were
