The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1918-03-09


Goltz throws some interesting side
lights on why.
The MENACE doesn't publish
this book and is in no way respon-
sible for it. 1t came from the press
Of Robert Mcbride & Co. Of New
York, last year.
German spies and their confess
sions are of course to be regarded
with suspicion, but in this case the
English and U. S. governments hap
pened to have traced up and con-
tirmed so many statements, that
England brought him back to Amer
lea where he was used as a witness
in the Welland Canal Plot cases.
He was captured, exposed, i'm
prisoned and sentenced to death in
England and would have been shot
but for the Importance of his testi-
mony. He made a confession, was
given his life and processes to now
repudiate the kaiser and hope for a
true German democracy.
His life reads like a romance with
his many escapades in the mysteri-
GUS business of Imperial Germany.
He once enlisted in the American
army, has served with Villa, and
gone on missions all over two con-
tinents, being finally betrayed, as he
thinks, by his superior, Won Papen,
when his usefulness was over and
because he knew too much.
So here is such confirmation
from repentant spy as may be, of
The MENACE exposures of why the
hyphenated Roman clement of our
population were such easy marks for
the pro-German agitators.
Won der Goltz had no intention
of injuring his church in his book.
But he just drops information here
and there that seems perfectly nat
ural and right to him. All Euro
peans know the vatican as a polit-
ical headquarters.
But he opens the eyes Of the
"German-American" by showing
him how basely his imperial idol,
the kaiser, has betrayed him and how
contemptuously he and his officers
regard the pro-Germans they were
trying to fatter and use against
their adopted country.
Bernstorf called them "rene-
gades" and said they were towards
and traitors" to the Fatherland.
President G. J. Hexamer of the
German National American Ali
ance with its two million dupes was
decorated by the kaiser with the Or
der OF the Red Eagle for his work
says Won der Goltz and ever since
the visit of Prince Henry to this
country in 1900 the "German-Amer-
icans' have been flattered, organ
lied and expected to rise in armed
resistance against their American
government in case of war.
Yet they are basely betrayed by a
propaganda that planned to so dis
credit them with their fellow citi-
zens who were simon pure Ameri-
cans without any hyphen, that they
would be forced into the arms of the
German government.
Therefore they were inveigled in
to plots and conspiracies and then
deliberately betrayed to the Ameri-
can Secret Service.
If Won der Goltz is not lying we
can now understand some of the ac-
tlvltles OF the German Catholic
Verein and similar organizations.
Years ago, an American Secret
Agent claims, the Imperial In
telligence Office headquarters in
America were in the same building
with this Catholic Verein.
THE MENACE has repeatedly
warned this country of the Jesuit
organization that controls all these
papal associations and pointed
out the same Jesuit Order working
for Germany in Italy, Spain, Mex
leo and elsewhere.
We hope our government will
realize before it is too late that the
big spy nest in this country is cen
tered right in the Jesuit Order.
If the Roman Catholic church were
organized or operated from the
bottom UP like a democracy, instead
