AMERICAN PRISONERS LET
TIERS DICTATED BY HUNS

Col. Churchill, chief of the mill
tary intelligence branch of the Gen.
eral Staff, directs the attention of
recently published letters from Amer
lean prisoners of war in German
camps in which the prisoners speak
of the excellence of the food and
general treatment of the prisoners.
An officer of the military intelli-
gence branch, who spent two years
of the war in Germany, reports that
there are certain rules laid down for
all prisoners in letter writing. The
price they pay for the transmission
of their letters is that they must
state that they are well treated, also
that the food is good and that they
are contented. The letters of the
prisoners are carefully censored at
the camp, and any statement made
contrary to the rules laid down for
letter writing simply means destruc.
ton of the letter.
1t is therefore concluded that any
information coming from American
prisoners in Germany is absolutely
unreliable and should not be publish
ed in American newspapers or mag.
azines as in any way authentic
1t is urged that all editors give
the above very earnest consideration
in handling prisoners letters that
may reach them in any way what.

The scoring started right at the

The second quarter ended with
MCCarty smashing through the line

Victory in California

The good news comes to THE
MENACE that Mayor Rolph, of San
Francisco, was defeated in the re-
cent primaries for the nomination for
governor.
THE MENACE aired Rolph's candi-
dacy in an issue just prior to cleo
ton ,and thousands of copies of the
paper were used throughout the
state. Naturally we feel that our
work was effective, and we are sure
the patriots of California will thank
US for what we did to help in the
fight.
Rolph was defeated by about 20,-
900. Stephens, the present Repub-
lican governor and man who is
right on patriotic lines as well as an
anti-liouor man, wins not only the
Republican nomination but the cleo
ton as well, due to popularity of
California laws which eliminates
Heney, the Democratic candidate,
because he was defeated by Rolph
who ran both as a Republican and
Democrat.
Rolph is also eliminated, although
he received the Democratic nomina-
ton, because the California law holds
that his registration as Republican
and failure to be endorsed at the pri-
mary as Republican candidate pre-
cludes his running as a Democrat,
Notwithstanding the fact that he re-
ceived the majority of the primary
Democratic vote.
Members of the Free Press De-
fense League in the city Of Oakland
printed and distributed fifty thou
sand sample ballots containing their
recommendation for the various Of
fees from governor down, omitting
Judges, constables and some other
minor offices, and the result was a
sweeping victory, as practically every
man selected was elected in the pri-
maries on both the Democratic and
Republican tickets.
California has repudiated the Ro-
man Catholic political machine and
will 90 in for good government of,
by and for the people of California.

peace he advocated would mean a
complete victory for the Germans,
strengthened the suspicion of his
pro-German desires.
"For months previous
to this priests who served as chap
lains, and insidious lay propaganda
lists, whispered disloyalty into the
ears of the troops. An officer, who
was with the army at that time, has
told me that the pope's message
created a most depressing effect
among them. 1t turned their
thoughts away from the unyielding
prosecution Of tho war to the ac-
ceptance of peace-peace on any
terms, regardless of consequences.
"The rumor that sew
eral officers proved traitors at the
moment Of the Huns camouhaged
attack has not yet been fully veri-
fed. But there is reason to believe
in its truth because dozen or more
of the suspected traitors were shot"
The foregoing statement from the
pen of DR.. Thayer shows the feel
ing towards popery in Italy where it
Is better known than anywhere else,
1t further shows the inherent un-
trustworthiness of Roman Catholic
chaplains, not necessarily because
they are bad men, but because ties
stronger than any civil allegiance
bind them to the autocrat Of the vat
ican, who is in sympathy and collu-
sion with the other autocrats that
have promised to crafty his one su'
preme political ambition.
This statement also shows very
clearly why every mouthpiece Of
Rome in this country and abroad
pleads incessantly for the pope tc
sit in the peace conference, and why
Italy exacted from her European
allies a solemn treaty promise that
he should not be permitted to do so
American statesmen who trust
popery and insist that it is harm
less and patriotic would do we'll *

papal guilt of the terrible catas-
trophe which threatened for a time
to blot Italy entirely from the map.
He states the following among
important facts:
"Many clericals sided with the
Teutons as a matter of course, for
Austria was the chief Catholic ma
tion in Europe. Since his election
the Italians have believed, on what
evidence does not appear, that Pope
Benedict XIV is prO-GermGn. He
belonged to one of the old aristo-
cratic families of Genoa-noblcs who
correspond in spirit to the junkers of
Prussia. 1t is believed in Italy that
the pope has been promised by both
the German and the Austrian kaisers
that they would restore his temporal
power at the end Of the war. The
Ultramontane Diet Of Bavaria OPEN
ly announced that this was one of the
aims Of the war. The failure Of the
pope to protest against the atroci-
ties Of the Huns, or to rank himself
squarely from the beginning on the
side Of the peoples struggling in be-
half Of Christian civilization, seemed
to justify the assumption of the
Italians that he was against -
Allies; and the fact that he put
forth appeals for peace, pre-
cisely at those times when the
