this reckless fast driving by some

an old person, or perhaps yourself,
may be caught, confounded which

Their subject WILDE Where Did
You Get Your Facts?" and is de-
signed to offset the progerman pro-
pogandist.
! The question is, Are we helping
or retarding our country in the pro- !
secution Of this great WARP"
The following story will help us
realize that some are endeavoring
to hinder our country's progress in
this great struggle:
Working for the Kaiser.
Is there anyone in this great
audience who will give the Kaiser
one hundred dollars to be used in
fighting the United States?
Before you decide, please remem-
Der that you can pay in cold cash,
currency, check. draft or it may be
paid in service just as the farmer
may work off his road tax instead
Of settling it in cash.
Perhaps more people could pay in
that way so let me repeat the ques-
ton:
Will anyone in the audience do
one hundred dollars worth Of work
for the Kaiser? No one? Not q
single soul in this great gathering?
But perhaps you wish to know
the kind of work before you decide
It is to spread pre-German propo-
ganda.
I am authorized to speak official
ly for the German Government, but
/ feel quite safe in promising that
it would pay at least one hundred 4
dollars to whoever will take every
chance to repeat just one rumor
calculated to cause trouble in the
United States.
Our State Department has evil
dence that $4,000 was paid by Ger-s
many to j. F. j. Archibald for pro-
poganda, and SO surely Sl00 would
not be too much for spreading one
healthy rumor, such as this actual
example---It is said that the Ameri-
can Government is suppressing the
news that the superdreadnaught
Texas and two American transports
carrying l | 900 men have been sunk.
This is a pro-German lie, traced
to its source by the Government.
| You may hear it tomorrow, or
you may hear any one Of a hundred
similar rumors. What will you do
about it?
Will you do your hundred dollars
worth of work for the Kaiser by
adopting that rumor and telling all
your friends and acquaintance?
No, you will nail it as lie.
But how are you going to do it?
You may not know all the facts
about the war.
Your Government gives you a
very simple test question for the
purpose. 1t is this: 'tWhere did
you get your facts?"
Fling that in the face of everyone
who starts rumor in your pres
ence, pin him down to definite
answer, make him prove up or
shut up,
You know it is no use to catch
the propogandist unless you can
catch his propaganda too. You
might as well root up the stalk Of a.
dandelion after the flying seed has
scattered all over the lawn.
You can supplement the work Of
our secret service by catching pro-
poganda with that test question,
and, remember, anyone who will
answer that question to himself be-
fore he repeats q rumor, will never
be in any danger Of doing hum
dred dollars worth Of work for the
Kaiser
4 will leave the question in your
! niinds, use it on the next rumor re-
peater, Where did you get your
