and TO leave nothing undone to stop
German propaganda. to secure Ger

that unless the government takes Wig

Men who circulate among the peo-
pie, and particularly a large number
of officials who come In contact with
people from all over the country and
have sources of Information from all
sections, say that the people of this
country are very much disturbed on
account of the signs of disloyalty
which are constantly cropping out in
different places. More particularly
was this brought out on account of
the success which the Germans
achieved in the great offensive ca tile
western front. True Americans we're
sincerely depressed at that time, and
1t made them boil with anger to see
or hear expressions of exultation= on
