looking to economic dominion over
other nations. 1t was this: "Instil
doubt and stimulate fear,' said DR.
| Schoneld.
"Instill doubt" he continued
| prompted the propaganda that at
| tempted to foment revolt in Ireland
and India against England and which
| attempted to array Mexico and Japan
against the United States.
Stimulate fear he resumed, lis the
| cause behind the frightful barbarities
and devastation in occupied territory,
Belgium. France. Russia, and Poland.
Not only does this spread of terrorism
take in other countries, but it was used
in Germany to stimulate fear OF the
state among the people to COW ana
compel them to bend themselves before
the will of the state
Further edicts of the great Frederick
are being followed out in this war.
'Despoil your neighbor nations so that
they can not hurt YOU was one OF his
military precepts and il is seen, said the
speaker. in the despoiling of occupied
territory, >the sinking of ships of all ma
tions, the cnslaving and manning OF
non -combatants of conquered lands.
Frederick's duplcity< and deceitful Dip
lomacy had only one object, the ad-
vancement of Germany at whatever
cost over the interest and rights of all
other peoples
More German Propaganda.
Illustrative of Germanys misunder-
standing of America was this very IL
Illuminating bit of conversation DR..
Scholield had with Count Won Bern
storif, ambassador and propaganda at
Washington until he was sent home.
Said Bernstorff: Il can not make
out America. Here they take Wilson
for president when they might have
had Roosevelt, the only man Germany
fears. The ambassador. the speaker
went on, but was one of thousands OF
German agents in this country and all
nations of the world, seeking to array
nGtion against nation, to foment trou-
bic, to "instill fear" so that when the
opportune time came Germany would
find nation arrayed against nation TO
prevent unity of action and force
against Germany when it waged con-
quest.
The barbarities of German warfare
are not the spasmoic outbreaks among
individuals to main, kill, and destroy
1T is ALL DR.. Schofeid said, "a part
of the program of stimulating fear
and devastation so that the nation so
devastated can not harm the Germans,
economically or in warfare.
Her (Germany's) idea was TO create
terrorism as a principle of war. Some
men lie without principle. but German
agents lie on principle. They are
taught mendacity and cruelty. All the
atrocities vi this war are a part OF
the system.
Conquer by Fear.
by fear, and fear alone. arc we go
ing to conquer Germany-by fear not
only of our army, but fear of the con-
sequences after the war-fear OF the
economic outcome.
AS a nation we have not much con-
sciousness of the duplicity of a nation.
Few of us can realize a studied system
OF duplicity. The German is taught
that he was born a German before ne
became a christian. which places the
state and state aims always above
morality and christianity in the Ger
man mind.
Have ynu heard one word of regret
or sorrow FOR any of their misdeeds
Do you recall that they struck medal
COMMUNICATING the a,rocious sinking
of the Lusitania ?"
Beware Of False Peace.
Emphatically DR.. Schotield urged TO
beware OF a false peace, a peace be-
fore Germany is beaten.
Germany, he SAID. has already had
her moral downfall All over contempt
is held for Germany because she made
herself lcper nation. Have you
noted that no neutral nation has Joined
Germany since Bulgaria, led by the fox
OF the Balkans, went in? The neutrals
