forged letters pretending TO be from
soldiers IN France have been found

the recipients. The letters are al
Hays IN the angular handwriting Of
persons accustomed to using German
script SO far they have contained
little but alarming falsehoods about
tho alleged slaughter OF American
regiments.
In order 10 set us against our
British allies several sortS Of "whis-
pering propaganda" are being used.
There is the story that American
soldiers are reeling around the
streets Of London drunk. II has
been disproved There is the charge
that while We are Stinting ourselves
to save grain the English are using
Il to make whisky-although we are
saving and shipping chiefly wheat,
which is little used in distillinE. and
the figures from England show that
the English liquor traffic has been
decreased by the war almost az
much as ours. And there is the re.
port that millions of British SOL
diers are held in England while the
allies are doing their fighting for

Of the home rulers--these same
promoters OF disunity are now fur
nishinE the Irish in America with
any story, any argument, any slander
that can arouse anti English preju-
dice among us on the Pacific coast
In the same way they are rafting
the dry bones OF the yellow peril
The average organ of publicity that
was pro German before our declara-
ton OF war, no matter how pro-
American It now pretends to be, al
n ost invariably uses the anti British
and the anti-Japanese appeals. And
lust as the Zimmerman note tried
10 unite Mexico and Japan against
Is, so the enemy of our unity alter
mates denunciations of the yellow
peril with appeals for a declaration
