LICHNOWSKY'S FAMOUS
DISCLOSURES WILL BE
DISTRIBUTED HERE

Prince Lichnowsky's famous dis
closures, showing the guilt of Berlin
in. throwing the entire world into
war, is to be mailed to members of
the. America First association
throughout the country.
<. W. Il. Robinson. the representative
of the America First association In
Reltrami, county, has arranged for
this document to be mailed through
out this county, direct from New
York. " .s-.
The 100000 members of the Amer
lea First association throughout
Minnesota will receive within a few
days copies of the famous Lichnow-
sky memorandum. &c., ..as
The guilt of Berlin in throwing
the entire world into war in 1914
is proven in a 1876 page book
printed in the original German, as
written by the prince, with English
translation. q
This famous document has caused
much internal strife in Germany,
where the original printed copies
were seized by the police in Feb
1
later printed in Sweden and the
matter given to the world.
1t is the first time that the people
of Minnesota have had an opportun-
ity to get the real inside disclosures
from Prince Lichnowsky, who was
German ambassador to England in
1912. Had his advice been taken,
Germany would not today be fight
ing the world, instead, she might
have had those who are now pitted
against her, England, Russia,
France and other powerful nations,
on her side, according to Lichowsky.
"The Lichnowsky memorandum
will doubtless attract increasing at
tention because it demonstrates the
guilt of Berlin, the truth of which
is slowly filtering through the minds
of many who had heretofore accepted
the German legends" said Robert
W. Hargadine, secretary of the
America First association.
