eISBEE BOY IN FRANCE
 SENDS HOME PROPAGANDA
 DROPPED BY HUN PLANES

BiSBEE, Dec. 4.-The first souvenir of the great world war to be received in this city from a Bisbee member of the United States army in France came yesterday 10 J. C. Krigmaum. the local transfer man. from his son, Theodore Krigmaum, who had been
 in the front line tranches for some time previous to the signing of the armistice The letter was written on the 30th of October.
 The German airplanes have been showering us with much proranganda
 in the past few days. I will enclose enc pamphlet that picked up.
 One of the other boys found one that l5 a world beater I tried to get it. but nothing doing. However, might be lucky enough to pick one up later. I'll mention a few of the things which it coatains, so you will have an idea how foolish it really was: Stop the war" Then it went on begging us SamMies to lay down our arms and come over and surrender. We will give you the bes. of care in our prison camps. Why keep on fighting when you could just as well wilve in safety behind our lines? Why fight for France? What difference does it make who owns Metz and Strauss ouIg? Think il over and surrender and you will be able to return to your losed cnes in America" And many other things tha; am no. able to recall at present
 We boys are sort of on the lookout for these pamphlets each day We enjoy reading them as a child does the funny" paper.
 The following is copy Of the hand bill dropped by the Huns. one side of
 which was printed in English and the other in French:
 1 The German People Offer Peace The new German Democratic gov ernment has this program:
 The Win of the People is the High- | The German people wants quickly to end the slaughter
 The new German popular govern ment, therefore. has offered an Arristice
 and has declared itself ready for Peace
 on the basis of justice and reconcilia- ton of nations.
 T. is the will of the German people that it should live in peace with all peoples honestly and loyally. What has the new German govern ment done so far to put into practice ! the will of the people and to prove it's 1 good and upright intentions? (ae The new German government has appealed 10 President Wilson to bring about peace. l. has recognized and accepted all the principles which President Wilson proclaimed as basis for general lasting peace of justice among the nations. (b) The new German government i has solemnly declared its readiness to evacuate Belgium and to restore it. tc) The new German government is ready to come to an honest under standing with France about Alsace-Lorraine I (d) The new German government has restricted the U-Boat war. | No passenger steamers not carry iH9 -TOCpS "Gt pC tackled in future.
 (e) The new German government has declared that it will withdraw all Herman troops back over the German :rcatier.
 | (J The new German government has asked the Allied governments to naine commissioners to agree upon the practical measures of the evacua- ton Of Belgium and France.
 These are the deeds of the new Ger man popular government Can these be called mere words. or bluff, or pro- paganda?
 ! Who is to blame, if an armistice is not called now?
 Who is to blame if daily thousands of brave soldiers needlessly have to shed their blood and die?
