The difference between the Allied
and German t thods of propaganda in
Russia is described in a dispatch to
"Thc London Times" which says:
"The work Of the German agents has
been extraordinary, far superior to the
propaganda of the Alliosa The latter,
desiring to enlighten the Russian SOL
diers, have sent to the front we'll edu-
Gated. clever officers to urge the ncces-
sity of fighting until the enemies of
liberty are crushed. They arrived
among the Russian troops in uniform,
wearing generally three or four deco
rations, and spoke to the simple mind
ed Russian peasant about freedom, the
s struggle for liberty, humanitarianism
the crushing of Prussian militarism
and many other things which would
certainty nave impressed greatly any
soldier of Western Europe.
"These speeches, made generally in
French and translated into Russian bv
an interpreter, were frequently chcercd
by the listening soldiers, who cheer any
speech provided that it lasts at least
fifteen minutes and that the speaker
sesticulates. The names of Socialists
like NJ. Vandervelde and NJ. Albert
Thomas of ministers of big republican
countries, Of members Of Parliament.
and so on, have been used in the en-

LONDON, March 2.-While the in

She has not made any specific proposal
to that end have induced tendency to

Meantime the commentators gencr-

that any action she may eventually
take will certainly be in the interest
of all the Allies and OF Russia 'The
Times for instance. says it cannot
doubt that the japanese policy will be
conceived in the same spirit Of good
faith and loyalty with which she al
ways has interpreted her obligations
as an ally. She has won the conf

spotless record of honorable conduct.
THE Times" points out, and considers
it would be unjust and ungenerous to
lmpute selfish, disloyal ambitions to
her "lthout the least evidence to sup
port the suspicion.
Intervention in the dominions Of the
former Russian Empire, the newspaper
adds, presents obvious difficulties, but
they are difficulties which good will

Arrangements have been practically
completed for the international Flower
Show. which opens at the Grand Cen

chief features of the show this year
will be the Red Cross Garden Theatre,
conducted by the American Red Cross,
the space for which has been given by
those responsible for the flower show.
Incidentally. it was inaccurately
stated few days ago that the receipts
Of the show this year were to be given
to the Red Cross. AS matter of fact,
only the receipts from the Garden The.

Cross enterprise, will go to that or

Allies Propagandists in Russia
Outwitted by German Agents
Teuons in Russian Ranks Nuled Effect Of Speeches by
Officers in Uniform of Other Arrnies;. Vodka and
Money Preferred to Sounding Phrases

The men listened to all these
speeches and checred hard, but as soon
as the visitors left the front the Ger
man agents, who very often were in
the cheering crowd, got up and started
their much more efficient propaganda
work in 4 rather different way from
that of our agents. They said:
"'Why fight? DO you not sec that all
these speeches are nothing else but the
tricks of your former masters, who, to-
gether with other people at home, try
to prevent you from having your share
Of the land Of the tyrants by keeping
you in the trenches with the hope that
you will be killed? Go home and take
the land due to you while there is still
time
"Such speeches by the Germans
dressed in Russian uniforms were gem
orally accompanied by the distribution
of a certain number Of rubles made in
Germany and of large glasses of vod-
ka. Naturally all this appealed much
more to the mind of the Russian sol
dicr than the rather dry speeches of
the emissaries of the Allies, who asked
them to run the risk of being killed or
wounded.
"By this kind Of propaganda the Cor
man agents succeeded in convincing the
Russian peasant that it was useless to
fight. This pornicious work was large
ly supported by the Soviets, whose
regulations annihilated the very strict
and severe discipline without which, as
mas been proved, an army like the Rus
sian cannot exist German propaganda
and the decisions of the Sovcts have
transformed the brave Russian soldiers
into bands of brigands, who murder
women and old men in order to get a
few coins or a pair Of boots"
