GERMANS CONTINUE To
SPREAD OLD FALSEHOODS
Talk About British Occupation of
Calais and Intention to Hold

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. Feb
ruary 26.-One of the most curious
legends of the war is that devised by the
Germans, to the effect that the British
army, having rented property for military
purposes in certain French ports. intends
to retain these ports by force after the
war The idea, Of course, is simply pre-
posterous 1t was first spread in Ger
many In 1914. One might be excused for
imagining that in the course OF four years
it would gradually die out, as so many
other wild legends of the war have died
out But the land OF the Brothers Grimm
evidently loves a fairy tale. The Taeg-
lische Rundschau Of recent date writes,
in the course of bit Of military criti-
ciSm
I'VE are astonished at the confidence
with which France abandons its territory
to an ally which, in the course of history.

egoism and felony"

item Of ,hs the war PecZ zeitunr
February calls upon its credulous read

has rented the port Of Calais to England
a new proof" continues the Magdeburg
newspaper that England is nearing the
end which it has SO long sought to at
taln-the occupation of all the straits
and all the important maritime chan
nels. The strange thing is that the eyes
of the French are not as yet unsealed.'
There is no doubt a cunning purpose in
the persistence with which the imperial
government keeps alive this absurd story
The Germans still hope as they have hoped
from the first. to achieve by words what
they have failed to achieve by arms. Their
Their propaganda in Italy, before their Of
fensive. had a slight amount Of success.
which, moreover. has since been COM
pletely nulliaed by events But their ef-
forts to create mutual Jealousy between
France and England have, from the very
first, failed absolutely. Nowhere in the
world except in Germany can readers be
found credulous enough to believe in the
legend Of England's intention to keso the
French channel ports.

URGE REPORT ON US.
FUEL YARD FOR DISTRICT

The District Commissioners have
written to the Senate District commit
tee recommending the passage of the
House joint resolution directing the
Secretary of the Interior, through the
bureau of mines, to report upon the
advisa bility of the establishment Of a
government fuel yard, or yards, in the
District of Columbia.
The Commissioners recommend that
the proposed yards store fuel for the
District government as well as for the
federal departments.
The resolution. which has passed the
House and been referred to the Senate
District committee. was sent to the
Commissioners for their opinion.
The executive departments in the
District and in the vicinity use more
than 225,000 tons of coal year. The
establishment of coal yard here to
store fuel would be a great advantage.
it is contended, particularly If there
should be shortage of coal or of
transportation facilities similar to
those of last winter.
