Mental suggestion, hypnotsm, and
psychology are all being used by
Germany with parsistency and
power incomprehensible to people
who have not understood the cam
paign by which for years Germany
has been poisoning the wells Of
thought all over the world. For some
years Germany, in as way that is
nothing less than satanic in its wide
sweep throughout the world and its
tremendous power for evil, has been
utilizing mental suggestion and hyp-
notism upon people who do not
themselves realize that they are be-
coming possessed OF the devil. Many

We are facing situation where
Germany is putting forth the most
tremendous effort in its history TO
extend the influence OF this mental
control, or hypnotic power, over
other people. in order TO secure
peace without punishment. Men
who think that they are talking
