dollar Thus is once more demonstrated
m the case of George Sylvester Nicrrck,
publisher of Nirrcck Weekly. and for
mcrlN editor ol the fathcrland, which
was barred from the mails because Of its
pro-C,Crman uttcraucce- ndcr cxam-

admitted that he received approximately
100000 from Count von Bcrnstorlf,
Theodore Dmnba and others for DIS

Nicreck has been ono OF the most IN

writers. and for n good while some per
sons were disposed 10 thtnk that his work
was purely a labor of love. and that he
was rather lndiscrcct than distinctly dis
loyal But the Hun dollar was behind
his Hun propaganda, and IT IS clear no"

over that OF last Nrar which WAS nm m

worked more DAYS and more hours, ana
have put their families at work. Women
have worked in The fields while their
babies slept in the shade Of nearby trees
Many country children labored wh'ie
