Mr. Mnnf-Aca IL,
telegram said: THAT man Lennon
is ono OF the biggest II not the biggest
man In the state today. He is one
who Is not looking for political favors
or recompense of any kind, but is
working for the great cause of hu-
manity. He is loyal to the highest
degree and Is ready to do or die for
the country at any time. When he
talked to us at the convention of
County Directors In Reno last month
he gave us such facts and figures and
such inside information that we were
astonnded. | was able to come back
to our local Council and outline to
them the actions which have already
taken place by the German govern
ment
The matter OF German propaganda
Is the greatest thing which we have to
fight today and the man who circu-
lhtes stories which he does not know
to be a fact is an enemy of his coun-
try. We were warned against these
stories by Mr. Lennon and he cited
many which were being circulated.
The story put out that the government
was to take all the money from the
banks and use 1t for government work
was OF German origin and had for It's
use the fear which 1t would put into
the hearts of the ignorant and their
consequent withdrawal of funds from
the banking institutions; there was
another story-and | am sorry to say
the same story has been circulated In
this county-which claimed that hun
drcds of men were weekly being kill
ed In the shipyards, that it was the
most dangerous of work, that many
were having their eyes punched ont by
men handling hand drills in drilling
rlates. This story was intended to
scare workmen away from the ship
r,cation.
Then we have the people who say
they will not buy bonds because the
when the war Is over the government
Will repudiate its indebtedness and
they will be the loser. This story has
ben circulated In this county and
must say the person who tells or be-
l.eves such story is not loyal
American and furthermore should be
ranked among thee lass o thorough
bred fools.
Il have been laughed at by some
when | talk against the spies in this
country. Mr.. Lennon stated to us
Washington, copy of newspaper
which had been printed In Berlin, just
three weeks before the time he saw 1t,
in which was printed pictures of
American troops marching through
the streets of Ne wYork enrotc to en-
bark on the transports for overseas.
This alone shows that we have people
In this country who are supplying
Germany with all kinds of information
and that there Is some way this infor-
nation can reach Berlin within
short time.
1T is the duty of every American
TO be on his guard against German
propaganda and German prOpagan-
dists. These are the warriors of Ger
many In this country. Put the man
In the yellow dog class whocirculates
wild and woody story without being
able to give his authority for It.
This peace move was intended to de-
