Government agents have been en-
listing the assistance of patriotic .citt-
zens to combat this German propa-
ganda.
For several months, however, signs
of boarding have increased, parttcu-
larly since the government began to.
take over the property Of certain Ger
man corporations in the east
One incident was reported from
Ypsilanti. in Washtenaw county, near
Detroit illustrates the situation. A
farmer and his w IONS drew their
entire savings, about $1,000 from a
Ypsilanti bank. The father buried
the money and then forgot the hiding
place. After several days he located
the wealth and returned with 1t to
Ypsiianti where he told the bank
cashier Of his act. "
Il had a tip that the government
was going to conf1scate the savings. OF

When he was told that such rumors
were the work of. spies and that MANY
patriotic persons of, German lineage
had large sums Of money on deposit
the farmer put the money back in the
bank.
Then he went home and slept
