Combating Falsehood

1t is not easy to trace lie to it's source to
destroy the evil which a falsehood engenders.
Propaganda work of enemy, craftily engend-
cred and studiousy spread broadcast, is exceed
ingly difficult to counteract.
An example of this is to be found in the story
of Red Cross workers appropriating for their
own use sweaters intended for soldiers. The
lie popped up simultaneously in many cities Of
the country. Although it promptly denied
by Red Cross officials and awards offered
to the person who could prove it true the lie was
not downed for weeks. 1t was denied four times
in Richmond, and fifth offer of prize to the
person who could prove its authenticity nee
essary before the public accepted it fabrica-
ton.
Patriots who believe many OF the lies that are
floating through the country about our army and
navy seemingly do not understand that these
stories have only one source, namely, German
agents, and that they are passed on by either Ger
man sympathizers or lukewarm Americans.
Porter Emmerson Browne has collected the
most fragrant of these lies and refuted them If
you have been beguiled by of the decep-
tions, read his refutation printed below:
The life of an is only so hours the air.
And there are ayators who have been flying for three
years!
The navy is rotten with diseased"
Maybe so? But you admit that when it
to sinking submarines they do pretty well for bunch of
nvalids.

Won Hertling's Reply

While Count Won Hertling, the Imperial Ger
man chancellor, was belaboring England for
thoroughly imperialistic war aims in his dis
cussion of President Wilson's peace terms before
the Reichstag, German armies were within eight
hours of Petrograd.
Won Hertl;ng saw nothing inconsistent in his
attack on England's aims at a time when his own
country was manifesting the land-grabbing pro-
pensities of the German war party. If he be-
lieves England still cherishes imperialistic war
aims, how does he explain Gerlnany's announced
determination to seize and hold the western part
of Russia?
Surely, in the light of the German advance on
Petrograd Won Hertling hasn't the audacity to
suggest that Germany is still fighting defens-
i've war against encroachments of Russia?
Germany is walking through Russia for one
purpose, and that is extension of territory.
Yesterday under the caption of Conquest and
Kultur, the Palladium printed an excerpt from a
book by German author in which he asserted:
"In order to live and to lead healthy and
joyous life we need vast extent of fresh arabic
land. This is what Imperialism must give us.
Germany may reap the fruits of Russian policy,
if she has sufficient courage. The continental ex-
pansion of German territory, the multiplication
on the continent Of Germany peasantry, whose
activities and capacities are so UNNECESSARILY SUI
perior to the obtuse nonchalance of the moujiks,
would form secure barrier against the advance
of our enemies, and secure basis for our grow
ing power"
Won Hertlings reply did not create ripple on
the diplomatic sea. Congress was not impressed.
Some of it's members said the speech was new
argument for fastening military prepara-
tions. The foreign offices of England and France
looked upon the statement another proof of
German duplicity.

Once upon a time there was
A young man named Peleg Pollett.
Peleg left home and went to the city
To seek his fortune in the granite
canyons.
When he left home Peleg's father said:
Remember, my son, perseverance al

Peleg got good job in an office.
1t paid him seventeen dollars week.
He was always first at the office
In the morning and last to leave.
He was always cheerful in his work
And he helped the boss with his over
coat.
Peleg held this position twenty years.
At the end OF twenty years the boss
Called Peleg into the private office

Another Old Prophecy
Proves to Be Truthful
tBY ASSOCIATED PREss.)

London, Nov. 16.-People of Albert,
France, are convinced that the prophecy
has been fulfilled when the famous statue
Of the Madonna at Albert fell the war
would end in a victory for France and her
allies. This quaint conccit grew out Of
the fact that the statue was diSlodged by
German shell fire from its perch on the
tower of the church at Albert during the
first mad rush of the Huns through
France in 1914 The base Of the statue
was so shattered that it hung over the
main road from Amiens to Bapaume which
passed the walls of the church.
The satue remained in that strange
poise after the Huns had been rolled hack
by the battle of the Marine. An effort
vas made to brace the statue in its re-
cumbent position so that it could not fall
until the tower itself gave way.
When the British line was driven back
in March last the Hun again entered Al
bert and when the Germans retired at the
beginning Of the Allied offensive the tow
or with its statue had fallen. This. cur
iously, marked the high tide Of the Ger
man invasion. From that dav on the Hun
hordes were pressed back. The people Of
Albert believe luck Of the Germans de-
serted them when the Virgin Of Albert was
