Hon Propaganda
Again Busy Here
GERMAN AGENTS BELIEVED
PROMOTING LENIENCY no
WARD ENEMY.

Government agents see evidence
that German propaganda machinery
in the United States is being put IN
working order again toward Germany
in peace terms.
Consequently Department of JUS
tice officials have warned that the
public should remail watehful
against resumption of organized pro-
paganda by interests formerly active
" pro-German and for the past year
passive.
Concerted movement is apparent,
officials say, in uttera1ces of many
individuals, few organizations for
merly active for German interests,
and some newspapers. There is no
organized leadership, it is believed
but local interests have taken their
cue from officials pleas from Germany
for leniency in armistice and final
peace terms.
The interest of government agents
combating enemy propaganda al
this time is not to suppress free ex-
preston of opinion, it is claimed but
to fight any concert of propagandists
whose purpose would be to confounC
the authorized spokesman of the ma
lion in Forthcoming peace negotia
tons.
Officials say during the reconstrue
ton period there may be consider
able danger from enemy propaganda
working to make the nation forge
! Germaay's course during the war.
/ In illustrating the attitude that TIT
war and its dangers are not yet owe
/ It is stated that DEPARTING At of jus
tice agencies have ordered the intern
ment of some Germans since the arm
istice was signed week ago.
Official reports show German repre-
sentatives in various parts of tn
world still actively engaged in spread
ing propaganda to create and enhanc
feeling of hostility toward the Unite
/ States and the allied countries.
Eckhardt, the notorious Germa
ambassador at Mexico City, again
reported doing his utmost to max
Mexico hostile to the United States

William, May
Be Going Back
FORMER KAISER TO LEAVE HOL-
LAND BECAUSE OF DISTURB
ANCES.

The Potsdam Soldiers and Work
mems council learns that William
Hohenzollern intends to return to Ger
many because of disturbances in Hol-
land, according to a Copenhagen dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany.
The Lobal Anzeiger of Berlin states
that he is likely to be permitted to
return.
Prince Eitei Frederick, son of the
former emperor, has appealed to his
comrades of the Potsdam garrison to
place themselves at the disposal of
the new government OF Germany.
The former German empress has
arrived in Holland, making the trip
by airplane, according to the ZeVen-
aar correspondent of the Telegram.
Count Charles Won Bentinck son of
Count GODDARD today declared that
his father was unaware OF the IN
tended coming of the former Ger
man emperor until Sunday November
10 when the Dutch government tele-
phoned. asking him if he would re-
ceive the exile. The count acceded
to the request as duty to the Dutch
government.
The former emperor's host seems
somewhat embarrassed over the deli
cate charge given him as his family
has considerable English connections.
Count Charles said that he asked the
former emperor:
'Well, how long will you remain ?"

THE SUICIDE OF AUToCRACY

Who dreamed, when this war begun
that its end would bring the fulfill
ment OF this purpose OF America II
the war, which President Wilson de-
clared On the Fourth Of July this
year:
The destruction Of every arbi-
trary power anywhere that can,
separated and secretly and of
It's single choice, disturb the
peace of the world.
Who dreamed, when Wilhelm the
Lost provoked this war in 1914, that
the war would cad with every auto
crat gone and with the divine right
of kings" chased from its last lair ?
Who, indeed, dreamed even when
the president said it in July, that it
would come so soon?
That was four months ago. The
German drive for victory was at its
heighs, and the Foch campaign that
ended Ia Germany's smashing defeat
was not yet begun. Today the war
is over; and the day of royal auto
cracy is dead and gone forever!
The allies of civilization did it, but
back of that the kaiser himself did
it. AS always, in all times and every
where, autocracy destroyed itself. It's
excuses of arrogance and ambition
breed the power that kills it. Auto
cracy, in this epoch as in all epochs.
