Spies and Lies


The Committee on Public Informal
ton at Washington is endeavoring to
combat insidious German propaganda
to be met with in various forms
throughout our country. Spies and
Lies are numerous.
German agents are everywhere,
eager to gather scraps CT news about
our men, our ships, our munitions. 1t
is still possible to get such informa-
ton through to Germany, where thou
sands of these fragments--often in
dividually harmless-are patiently
pieced together into a whole spells
death to American soldiers and danger
to American homes.
But while the enemy is most indust-
rious in trying to collect information,
and his Systems elaborate, he is not
uperhuman-indeed he is very often
stupid, and would fail to get what he
wants were 1t not deliberately handed
to him by the carelessness of loyal
Americans.
Do not discuss in public, or with
strangers, any news of troop and
transport movements, of bits of gossip
as to our military preparations, which
come into your possession
Do not permit your friends in SER
vice to tell you-or write you" inside"
facts about where they are what they
are doing and seeing.
Do not become tool of the IIm- by
passing on the malicious, dishearten
iEg rumors which he so eagerly sows
Remember he SKIS no better service
than to have you spread his lies of
disaster to our solde and sailors,
gross scandals in the Red Cross, cruel
ties, neglect and wholesale executions
in our camps, drunkenness and vice
l.. the Expeditionary Force, and other
tales certain to disturb American
patriots and to ring anxiety and grief
to A rican parents.
A i do not wait until you catch
scr cone putting a bomb under a fact
DRY. Report the man who spreads pes
simistic stories, divulges-or seeks
confidential military information, cries
for peace, or belittlcs our efforts to
win the war.
Send the names of such persons, even
if they are in uniform, to the Depart
ment of Justice, Washington. Give all
the details you can, with names of wit
nesses if possible-show the Hun that
we can beat him at his own game Of
collecting scattered inf 1rn1dtion and
