and death struggle. He ought to
know that Germany is very much

The Morgenpost. in it's allusion to
the Independence day address. says:
"If President Wilson really desired
to bring about a lasting peace he
should have examined Chancellor Won
Hertling's suggestion to see how far
there was a possibility of peace. Mr..
Wilson's latest speech is academic.

suing a practical policy. With a

Paper Balloon Device:

Paper balloons. capable of lifting
four pounds, also are used by the
American Army for the purpose Of
distributing literature in trenches
and enemy billets for distances up to
100 miles from the starting point, the
director said. These balloons drop
a half pound of material at five
minute intervals. They use a fuse re-
lease consisting of a slow-burning
match, which Is consumed at the rate
of one inch every five minutes The
first release is effected five minutes
after starting to make sure of COM
pensating the balloon for the loss of
gas.
The latest devices are planned to
employ clockwork for their releas-
Ing mechanism and the use of trench
mortars. with a cardboard projectile
containing literature, is being con-
sidered for the future
Airplanes are used occasionally for
this purpose. but there are many OBJ
jections to their employment.
The director added that steps now
were under consideration for the use
Of French 75-millimeter guns for the
diffusion Of propaganda in the enemy
lines.
Find opportune Time.
An opportune time for employing
the grenades and balloons, it was
Sldlcus "dS lOuHu 10 De from 10 b
o'clock in the morning. when the
German soldiers are not being watch
ed by their officers. 1t is deemed un-
wise to attempt to distribute propa-
ganda during stiff fighting or when
the enemy soldiers are otherwise oc-
cupied. Efforts are made to catch
them in repose. Many bits of propa-
ganda have already been found in the
pockets of German prisoners taken
by the British, French and Americans.
The nature of the propaganda dis
tributed depends upon the German
units in the vicinity. the purpose be-
Ing always to supply matter that will
appeal to the troops from the various
parts of Germany. Recently distri-
buttons over the lines have included
the disclosures Of Prince Lichnowsky,
the German ambassador at London, at
the outbreak of the war; the letters
OF DR.. Won Muehlon, the former Krupp
director; figures showing the German
losses, and facts about food conditions
