GERMAN PROPAGANDA.

Lieutenant Pat o'Brien. like Pri-
vate Peat and Sergt. Empey. has had

Wherever he has gone throughout

that German agents were sent ahead
Of Sergt Empey wherever he went

insiduous rumors in an effort to dis
count the great message this man was
delivering throughout the country.
The same is believed 20 be true in
the case Of Lieutenant o'Brien. Hop
kinsville people. therefore. need not
be surprised II the German propa-
gandist makes his appearance in their
midst in an effort to discount the
message that o'Brien will deliver.
Lieutenant O'Brien is the most
sought after man on the platform in
America today. The New York Sun
describes him as IAN American hero
Of the brst water" He certainly has
had the most thrilling experiences Of
any one man in the war and he knows
more Of what was going on behind
the German lines up TO last December.
than probably any other one man
in the country. Consequently. he is
n special target Of German propa-
ganda.
This propaganda is most insiduous
II takes forms that are most unex-
pected II makes use Of people who
ordinarily do not know they are be-
ing used to circulate all sorts Of ru-
mors and stories which are absolute
ly without foundation.
II America is going 10 win this
war. il must be won by grit. by stay
ing power. by the morale Of the peo-
pie. II Germany can break down
the morale Of the people and discount
the influence Of men like o'Brien,
she will have accomplished her pur-
pose.
without the army at home. the
army abroad would be absolutely use
less. II is necessary to back up our
fighting men in France TO the limit.
h we do not do so. we will be prac-
0sally numbering them. and the Ger
man propagandist, no hatter who he
may be. or wherever he may appear,
or in whatever guise, should be put
out Of business.
