u. S. PROPAGANDA
IS USED IN RUSSIA
TO GOOD EFFECT
Motion Pictures and BiIIboardS
Are Utilized by Committee on
Publication - Morale Of
Workers Is Stiffened

PETROGRAD, Jan. 9.-TTor nearly
three weeks-in fact ever since the
Russo-German peace parleys opened at
Brest-Litovsk, the American govern
ment has been carrying on vast and
effective propaganda all over Russia
through the medium of the committee
OH publication.
Giant billboards reproducing passages
from President Wilson's speeches on
war ap1 particularly those showing the
friendship of the United States for
Russia are being utilized. IN all the
big the&ters, motion pictures are car
rying on the campaign of education and
the prison camps are being circularized.
Apparently the United States govern
ment, fully awake at last to the need
of counteracting German influence. is
carrying it's appeal directly to the peo-
pie.
There is no doubt of the effect that
this propaganda work is having. AL
ready it has materially stiffened the
morale of the Russian working classes.
1t has stirred a new confidence in the
United States and appreciation of its
desire to assist the democracy. 1t also
has had its effect in warning against
a German-made peace at Brest-Litovsk
and may be regarded as having had a
share in the sudden deter mination of
the Bolsheviki to throw down the Ger
mans autocratic peace proposals

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Jan 1O.-Sheriff
Grove apparently is not worried over
the charges that have been preferred
against him in the fedora; court at At
lanta. He was unaware that he was
under fire until he read the report in
The Journal
There is not very much to say about
it so far as I can see said Sheriff
that l was under investigation, but here
are the facts.
Judge Newman had given three reve-
nue. prisoners permission to go to their
several homes for the purpose of filling
out their missionaries. They were
gone two or three days and when they
returned myself and deputy were in an
other part of the county serving a war
rant.
THE turnkey at the Jail took the
men in and after they had gone to their
quarters it appears they divided the
whisky they had among themselves
Then they proceeded to get drunk and
the fight followed.
THE federal authorities had given me
permission TO use the revenue prisoners
in cutting wood. I ordered them to do
this and when they refused I placed
them in cells. That is all there is to
the story so far as l know"

At last Sara and her mother got
away. They applied for a pass to
America, where her father had come
before the war broke out. After many
weary months of waiting, during which
their story had to be verified by the
the Germans, the pass was given by
special permission of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. They came through Hol-
land, sailing from Rotterdam to New
York and thence coming to Atlanta.
Sara Seigel likes Atlanta much bet

a moving picture every day. She stud
les every night at the South Pryor
street school, And on Saturdays there
are the dances at the Jewish Progress
