Our armies over in Europe will
sooner or later make an end of Prus-
sian militarism on the battlefield, but
here in the United States we have
an enemy far more insidious and
hardly less dangerous than the Kais-
ers soldiers in the shape of that in
fernal thing called German propa-
gandism. It's chief reliance is on
popular ignorance of the causes of
the war and its progress-an ignor-
cane for which there is no excuse in a
land full of newspapers and periodi-
Gals telling the whole terrible story
deliberately from the start. And to
all this ignorance the German propa-
gandists appeal in every artful and
plausible way to undermine faith in
our government and our cause and
put the people out of sympathy with
rich mans war" as they cunningly
designate it. Here is a specimen of
this propaganda work in the shape
of a platform upon which the social
list members of the county council of
defense in Milwaukee, Wis, are
standing and are publishing to the
world as the truth about the war
Only a densely ignorant man would
accept it, for it is a monstrous lie
from beginning to end. Here it is:
"The American people did not want
and do not want this war They
were plunged into this abyss by the
treachery Of the ruling class of the
country-its demagogic agitators, its
bought press, its sensational photo
plays, its lying advertisements and
other purchasable instruments of
public expression. Quincy Times.

Friday March lS.-Thcre have been

The activity Of the enemy forces on

when they decide to begin, will make
an attack on a wide section at some
point of the line where it would he
easy for either side to capture a thin
slice Of territory Such local successes
would not take them far, it might give
them the advantage Of a moral victory.
While this attack is proceeding the
enemy may attempt a surprise attack
somewhere else in an effort TO break
through by hammering like blow
with some new war contrivance. Should
they make such a determined effort
and wherever it may be, they will meet
with even more obstinate resistance.
