Valdez daily prospector., 1918-03-20

It is a fact that the majority of people in this world never grow up, and that only a small minority devel- op that mental growth, that sense of proportion, which enables them to take a broad view of such far-reach- ing questions as are involved in this
 world war. Most people are intelli- gently concerned only with the things
 which are close at hand and readily
 obvious. They look, as it were, thru
 a knot-hole instead of using the sixty
 degree angle of vision which every
 intelligent man ought to have; and
 consequently such people, and it is the
 great ma jority, are peculiarly sensi-
 tive to the suggestions of propa- ganda, which is as subtle and difficult to detect as it is all-pervading and pernicious The large majority of the rumors of disaster to our troops; of discomforts, sicknesses, and deaths in
 the cantonments; of delays, disorgan- ization, ard even of graft in the great
 
 war industries are of enemy origin. And the pity of 1t all is that. uncoD- sciously, there are thousands of we'll
 meaning citizens who, because they have an ill-regulated appetite for the scandalous and the shocking, assist
 this enemy propaganda by repeating the enemy rumors, too often with en- bellishments of their own.
 Without shutting his eyes to defects or foregoing his inalienable right to
 criticism, it is the duty of every citi- zen to cultivate in these times a stress
 of spirit of healthy optimism. "Thots are things" A lie consistently repeat
 ed and idly passed on. even though
 we believe it to be lie, begins, by virtue of its constant reiteration. to take on in our minds color of truth. Therefore, it is the duty of every true patriot among us, whenever he
 stumbles upon one of these calamity howlers, to ask him at once for his
 authority, and bring 1t sharply to his mind that, whether he intends to or not, he is actively aiding the enemy in his attempt to shatter the morale of the civilian population back of the fighting line.-Scientific American.

THE WORLD WAR
 BEHIND THE LINES
(Continued from Page One)

Germany's hope of victory lies iii the war behind the front-a war which in its secrecy and cunning is as deadly and difficult to deal with as the suh-sea piracy of the German U- boats. It was after Germany realized that she could never win on the sea and in the open, that she struck be- low the sea and in the dark. So, re- alizing that she can never conquer with the sword, she seeks to win out against the non-combatant's popula- tion by means of the subtle suggestion of failure. the secret whisperings of disaffection, the little spark of rumor which runs through mems minds like fire through dry stubble, to say noth- ing of the deliberate lie, craftily con- ceived, cunningly camouflaged, and whispered by thousand trusted spies onto ten thousand listening ears.
 In carrying on this war there is no weapon, however small, that is so in- significant as to be overlooked by the German propagandist; there is no in- fluence which can have the slightest effect upon the morale of the people that is considered too small for the patient, tireless effort of these sol- diers of secrecy in our midst, whose efficiency increases in the ratio of their modesty and apparent insignifi- canoe. Many are the current phrases which have originated in the secret text books of the German secret ser vice: Peace without Annexation or Indemnities" Ga peace which involves no acknowledgment of the moral guilt of the vanQuished). "The War is a Stalemate" (which suggests that Germany is so strong that she can never be beaten). Look at the Map" (suggesting that Germany has won, and ignoring the fact that her man power has decreased in the propor- tion in which her boundaries have ex- tendsd). Peace Without Victory" (the most insidious phrase of all; for a peace without confession of mili- tary defeat, would be acclaimed by Germany as a peace won by German force of arms).
