HUNS SEEK TO DISORGANIZE

Rehonorable Propagandlst.
In this way the honorable propa-
gandist will be safe from the perfid-
ious enemy. and IL, after the little
friendly talk Is over, the propaganda
ist should regretfully report that the
elements were too intelligent 70 be
moved by offers of tobacco, then what
more natural than that the company
commander directing relations should
give, more in sorrow than in anger.
the order to fire?
1t viii be gathered that the men
detailed as propagandists will need to
be chosen carefully. The General
points out that il the wrong man is
detailed for the work, the unintef-
ligent Italian may miss the point OF
the conversation. and in his stupid
way think that he himself Is the man
who Is doing the propaganda
He may seek to profit by the In
genuousness" of the German, and
start an oral offensive of his own,
which would be very perfidous Of him.
But even after the right man has
been chosen, he must not be trusted
to talk at will about the weather or
the state of the crops or whatever
comes into his head. "Only the chief
OF the information bureau will have
/ the right to direct the conversations
according to the instructions he has
received"
The Wicked English.
So that. IL Berlan says it is to be
"the wickedness of the English" on
Monday, then the wickedness of the
English It is.
One hopes. however, that the propa-
gandist will be allowed to lead up to
1t In his own way, though. IL he Is too
long about 1t, the company COM
mander, who Is specially advised for
this occasion to be 'fn the first line
positions" may hurry him up with.
Now then. Schmidt, that's the third
time you've said 1t was a nice morn
ing"
But. of course. II the conversa-
tion is to be about the wickedness
of the English. care must be taken
that the person addressed Is of the
right nationality. The General
warns his commanders that there
are more than Italians at the
italian front. It would be too an
noying for the propogandist to fnd
that he had wasted both his Italian
accent and his exposure OF the mer-
cenary English upon a stolid Lon
doner.
And. at eight o'clock every even
ing. the company commander will
send in his report Of the propaganda
accomplished during the day" Five
questions are set down for him to
answer. The third one Is this:

tact-oficers. under-offlcers. SOL

Perhaps this year the answer will
be: Contact with all three-but

another new Undertaking that will
probably prove a great aid to ship
ping. Backed by New York capital,
reputed to be over $4,000. eco, a
group Of local shipping men are ar
ranging to proceed with the con-
struction Of reinforced steel-pumice
ships. The vessels will be con-
strueted from the ashes and lava
from Mount Lassen Volcano in Cali
fornia.
In order TO demonstrate the new
method two vessels of similar size
were constructed. one Of concrete,
one OF pumice and steel When
subjected to tests IL was found that
the craft built from the volcanic ma
terial was stronger than the con-
crete and considerably lighter. The
ratio Is given as So 10 100.

France, June 1.-The opening Of the
propaganda season on the Italian
mont has been formally announced by
Germany. As last year. the COM
paigning season will follow in due
course.
An army order, captured on a Ger
man soldier. gives details Of the pro-
gram arranged. Commanders are in
structed ito intensity with efficacy
the propaganda with the enemy
army" 1t Is explained that "the OBJ
ject of this propaganda is to disor-
sanize the enemy" Let Us see how
this is to be done.
Propaganda is to be carried out In
two ways First:
BY throwing into the enemy's
trenches proclamations destined for
the more intelligent elements
An intelligent element is presumably
an Italian who recognizes that 1t Is
hopeless to fight against Germany,
and realizes that Germany wishes to
conquer the world from the most dis
interested motives possible. With such
elements a simple proclamation. call
ing attention to the fact that the
Kaiser would be annoyed IL they were
kept waiting there any longer. would
be enough The Intelligent elements
would apologize and withdraw.
Some Other Methods.
But the trouble is that there are
so many unintelligible elements in
the Italian army who don't really
understand Germany. With these
another method must be employed,
as follows:
BY persuadlng the troops by oral
propaganda Good results can be OBJ
tanned by calling in a friendly tone
and indicating sentiments of COM
radeship or by reiterating promises
not to fire and offers of tobacco.
The tobacco for this purpose will be
furnished by the company COM
manders" ....-.-.- ...... y
The last sentence must have taken
a weight on the propagandist's mind
when he was first detailed to the
post. but even so. he would be faced
with difficulties. For instance, how
could he best indicate sentiments
Of comradeshop?' Should he blow
kisses across No Mans Land?
supposing he climbed up on the
top OF the parapet and kissed his
hand to the sniper opposite. would
the sniper understand? Or IL he
walked across with his hands up. in
dicating comradeship by. crying
skamerad." would II be sufficiently
clear that he was not surrendering,
but only expressing q wish for a
little friendly talk about war aims1
Genuine Dimculties.
That these are genuine difficulties
Is shown by the fact that they had
already occurred to the general who
drew up the order. ..-s-
The enemy" he says regretfully,
sis perfidious and without honor,
