WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FACTS?

An intensive campaign to arm the people of the Unit ed States against pro German propaganda is being conducted Forty thousand Four Minute Men taking active part in the work of warning the people against the pro-Geman propOgandst, explaining his methods, and furnishing a weapon with which to combat him.
 In the bulletin of information issued for the use of Four Minute speakers by the Committee Public nfor nation IS stated the authority of high official ot the Department of Justice that nneenths of all German plotting against this country has taken the form of print ed and spoken propaganda
 In this work full advantage has been taken of state mens made by German Sympathzers of American birth, the propagandsts realizing that greater consideration might be anticipated for such works than for material O gnating from more obviously prejudiced quarters.
 The bulletin for speakers quotes example of this type taken from address by American minister who was very much of militant pacifst."
 Reprinted in pamphlet-fom by the Germans the more bitter and dencatoy parts of this address have since been repeatedly scattered the American and British lines by German aviators
 This particular example is given special significance because of the fact that precisey the propaganda has reappeared verbatim in book published in America purportng to be the poshumOus work of Pastor Russell a elknOwn American preacher who died considerable time before the original address appeared
 The title of this work is 'The Finished Mystery" and the publishers who inerpoated some dozen or fiji teen pages matter taken peceea from the propagan da pamphlet, exactly scattered over the Allied lines by German avators, serving twenty year sentences in the Atlanta penitenary imposed under the espionage act
 Iii pointed out that the danger in such work consists not so greatly in the amount of damage each propagan dist is able to accomplish in person before he is arrested but in the repetition of his propaganda by the idle and iOuS.
 Quoting from the Four Minute Men buletin:-
 "TO arrest the propagandist without arresting also the progress of his propaganda is of little greater value than to uproot the dandeon after all it's winged seeds have been scattered over the lawn"
 The point is made that the Department of Justice is thoroughly organized to catch the propagandst and if the people will combine to put a complete defeat
 To accomplish this, it is recognized that it will not be possible for the public to memorze all the facts upon the war and so be in position to give official denial to each and any rumor.
 The volume of such rmors is too great and in addit ion new subjects for propaganda are being uncovered daily
 single simple test-question to be applied to everv thing that sounds like pro-Geman propaganda, is the weapon now to be placed in the hands of the people by the Four Minute Men.
