THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH.

We have been accustomed to regarding theI
Germans master propagandists. True, theyI
often mistoOk the psychology of the people att
whom they aimed their propaganda. Still they
have accomplished remarkable results in various
countries and the Berlin government has gen
orally seemd to make the German nation think
Just about what Berlin wanted it to.
It is rather surprising and pleasing then, to
find no less an authority than Herr Sieffried
Heckscher, head of the Hamburg -Amerika lines
publicity department, and member of the reich
stag writing in the Vossiche Zeitung that the
Allies have beaten Germany Overwhelmingly inI
the propaganda game.

gle speech of the English leaders is adapted not
only to its effect in England but also to its infU

quite especially to its effect in Germany. Leu
people but listen in this country, and even at the
front and note the effect when the plain man has
read the picturesque phrases, filled with an aD-
parenty genuine idealism, of Lloyd George al
Balfour AsQuith, or a Wilson"
He speaks with profound respect of "the
Northcffe propaganda in foreign countries,
and declares that the failure of Germany to com
bat it at home and abroad is equivalent to a
failure Of German craftsmanship"
There is no question that the allied powers
have conducted a wonderfully effective publicity
campaign, covering every phase of the war since
Lord NOrthcliffe assumed the leadership in that
task couple Of years ago. Government and
press have worked integently, admirably re
inforcing each others efforts, until all the world
has had forced upon it the allied view of the War
To that campaign, wholly voluntary on the part
Of the press is due the present clarity and unity
Of public thought in allied countries and the re-
markable infusion Of allied idealism in some Of
the enemy countries. We have won with public
ity as much as with soldiers and guns
One highly important fact, however, Herr
the combating Of this propaganda by Germany.
It is the fact that the Allies have had the ire
mendous advantage of spreading truth, whereas
the German propaganda has suffered the fatal
handicap Of having to deal primarily in lies.

Our army officers and our navy officers nave

The responsibility Of the individual to the
state and to the community is being greatly
stressed at the present time. The world war and
liberty loans and welfare work and influenza
safeguards all combine to declare that "no man
liveth unto himself" Personal liberty and ind
vidual independence must bow to the general
welfare. This may come hard to individuals and
societies, who claim too great independence, but
the lesson will be wholesome and salutary

TOURIST BUSINESS
TO Be DISCOURAGED

Washington, Jan. Much OF the
transcontinental passenger traife "a
the Pacific coast Is to be cut on des.
pite the protests OF Pacific coast
business interests, Il was stated al
the Office OF Director General Nc
Adoo today.
Protests have come to his Office
from the Pacific coast chambers OF
commerce and other interests stat
Ing that the tourist industry on
which the coast cities have annu-
ally thrived should not be interfer-
cd with.
The attitude OF Director General
MeAdoo and his advisory board Is
that tourist travel should stop II
the winning OF the war is delayed
one hour by Its continuance.
However, officials OF the railroad
administration are OF the opinion
that the transcontinental tourist
travel will not have to be entirely
cut on. The western railroads are
not nearly so badly congested as
those In the east. Many locomotives
are to be brought east from the
western roads to supply the lack on
the Atlantic seaboard. but enough
will remain.
THE American people must rea-
lie that we are at war and that bus
iness cannot be as usual and that
pleasure and winter touring cannot
be as usual" said Director McAdoo.
