100000 of the 100000 soldiers I'm
below the age of twenty-one. Such an
old Civil war soldier as Senator Nell
son of Minnesota is very insistent that
the boys from eighteen TO twenty-one
be given an opportunity to get into
the war. He and others who believe
with him will strenuously oppose a
provision which will be offered to the
new draft law providing that the boys
from eighteen TO nineteen must not be
sent abroad until after they have had
a years training. Instead of taking
a year to make soldier, it has been
demonstrated that the alert young men
OF America make good soldiers in six
months. Army officers with experience
believe that far better results will be
obtained with the men below twenty
one than with those over thirty-one.
Nothing is quite so persistent as the
German propaganda. If the Germans
had given as much attention to legiti-
mate industrial and agricultural pur-
suits as they have to war and propa-
ganda they could have made greater
progress in the conquest of the world
than they have by war and the auxil
larry methods they have used to pro-
mote that war. In this country all
manner and kinds Of propaganda are
constantly cropping out. There is no
business, industry or vocation in which
the Huns have not made some attempt
to cripple the government by their in.
sidious propaganda. For instance.
there has recently been circulated
story that there is scarcity of glass
jars for canning foods, which when
traced to its origin proved to be Ger
man propaganda for the purpose Of
hindering the preservation Of foods.
1t must be that the Germans, their
sympathizers, the pacifists, and every
other faction of that ilk. have raised
and maintained an enormous fund to
carry on all sorts of propaganda which
could in any way tend to hinder the
United States in the prosecution of the
war.
