PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Aug. i5.-"Foos

This Is the ruling made by County

In order that a larger supply than

in Search
WILD STORIES
OF DEATH SPREAD

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. i5.-Depart-
ment OF Justice agents and members OF
the American Protective League today
are united in an effort 10 apprehend
German propagandists who are circu-
latlng wild stories regarding Ameri-
can troops overseas. saying that some
companies and battaliOns, or even regi-
menls, have been completely wiped out
This form Of German propaganda
which Is designed 10 scare and even
terrorlze the mothers OF soldiers, was
started soon after the official German
lie, coming out by way OF Amsterdam,
stated that two battalions OF the 10th
Infantry. composed Of the old Third
Regiment. y. q. p, OF this city, and
the Fighting Tenth" Of western Penn
sylvania, had been Obllteraied.
10 has now reached such proportions
that telephone calls. letters and mes
sages are being received daily by many
mothers. telling OF the awful" casual
ties OF the American overseas forces.
Many mothers have rushed 10 City
Hall Immediately upon receipt OF one
OF these messages, according TO NJ L.
Woodruff. head Of Mayor Smiths Per
sOnal Service Bureau, anXlOusly seek
ing information OF some loved one
whom German lies have listed as dead,
wounded or missing. the result Of the
'Nviping out" OF American companies.
According 10 Mr.. Woodruff, the
propaganda has been spread so thor
oughly that 10 Is hard 10 convince many
mothers that their sons have not been
killed or wounded or subjected 10 Ger
man "frightfulness."
The favorite way OF causing a mother
20 fear for the safety OF her son. ac-
cordng 10 Mrs Woodruff. Is 10 remind
her that "so-and-so, on your street, has
been killed and his company has been
wiped out" The mother recalls that
her son Is a member Of that company
and becomes terroriZed.
Agents Of the Department Of Justice
and officials Of the American Protective
League say persons who aid in clrculat-
ing propaganda designed 10 interfere
with the army or navy are equally as
guilty as those who originated the false
stories.
A fine OF $4,000 or Imprisonment for
twenty years, or both. is the penalty
upon conviction OF violation Of this sec
tlon OF the espionage act.
All persons are urged by the Pro-
tectiye Association not TO heed casualty
reports except those in offlclal War Dc
partment messages or IN the daily news
paper lists, which are announced in
Washington.
