SPIRIT OF ANTAGONIST.
A. D. Neal, in Letter to The Her
aid, Raps Hearstism.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
Dear Sir: Her army demobilized and
demoralized; her navy surrendered;
her emperor a fugitive, Germany has
but one remaining hope and that is
that before the Peace Conference final
~ settles her fate there may be a fall
ing out between some two of the en-
tente allies. ------------
Revelations in Congress have shown
that Germany spent millions of dol
lars on propaganda; that she did buy
some newspaper men and sought to
buy others. There is some reason to
believe that though she has ceased to
fight she has not ceased to try to
mould public opinion in America.
In all the discussions concerning
traitorous publicity that have come
before Congress the names of the
Hearst newspapers have figured to a
degree so that no sane citizen can
doubt that the power behind these
papers was in sympathy with Ger
many. That the same power is still
in the same sympathy and, whether
paid or not, is still carrying out Ger
man propaganda work must he evi-
dent to anyone who will read the edl-
NNNCA SAAlNto VI Allt w dS -llIlElO
Times.
On the first page of Fridays issue
under Arthur Brisbane's signature
you will find a gratuitous sneer at
the King of england based on the al
legation that now the war is over he
has champagne for dinner. white
America is still vfrtuous and on the
water wagon. The article contrasts
our own Yirtuous. sober and sad con-
duct with some supposed conduct on
the part of our allies, the British, that
is rotten insult to q brave nation;
the sort of an insult that if it wers
voiced by the true and responsible
American press and so had standing
as the voice of the American peopis,
might very well bring about that
schism between the United States and
England which is the dearest hope OF
Germany.
The same spirit of antagonism to
Great Britain Is evident in the Times
editorial on our navy to be found on
the back page of the same issue of
the Times.
That the debt the world owes to
Great Britain for it's part in the war is
frankly and freely acknowledged by
leading American statesmen and mill
tary men, means nothing TO the Times
which constantly, by gross discourtesy,
by misstatement of facts, by perver-
sions of the truth is constantly striv-
ing to stir up bad blood between
Americans and Englishmen.
II this work is not paid for by Ger
many-of which there is no proof-it
should be. for 1t is the one thing she
most ardently desires; the little dis
courteous and untruthful pin-picks
that may cause the two greatest ma
tons on earth to misunderstood each
others tempers and purposes.
The men who write thus about one
