BRITISH ARMY, Hpril 9.-Simul-
taneously with Hindenburg's offen-
sive the Germans instituted a most
stupendous propaganda offensive
against France, Great Britain and the
United States. The object was to
split the allies, persuading them that
France was collapsing and that AM
erica was a total failure.
Prisoners admissions. captured
documents and handbills scattered by
balloons, all prove the powerfully
organized propaganda.
False statements declaring that
British Officers were criticIsing
France were scattered in the French
lines. The troops were told that even
the Portuguese, Belgians and coIoniaIs
were allowed to fight alone but that
the Americans were not trusted to
fight separately. This was scat
tered along the allied lines The
Germans were told that Americas
war program was a total failure.
