by aiding the people of Germany to
establish a government responsible to
the people.

Friends of German Democracy, will
start shortly on a speaking tour on
behalf Of the organization. He eX-
poets to address meetings in many Of
the larger cities. He is son Of Gen.
Sigel, Of Civil War fame.

ton in a number of cities and towns
in Maine, Connecticut, Vermont and
nearby states Many members are
being enrolled from these states.
Prof. Konrad RI. Bierwirth, of Har-
ward, Prof. J. H. Woman, of the
University Of Vermont, Prof Otto

julius Koettgen, assistant secretary
| of the Friends of German Democracy,
in charge at the New York headquar-
| ters, has announced that plans are
! under way for a vigorous campaign
to get the message of the society be-
| fore the German people.
THE threats of the German ruling
classes that anyone spreading anti
! Kaiser propaganda in Germany will
be shot as u spy holds no terror for
us. Through countries adjacent tC
Germany, we are reaching the Ger
man people, putting before them the
real truths of the war and Americas
war aims which the German govern
rnent is setting before it's subjects in
garbled form.
! "Our organization is composed OF
| Americans of German source as wei
as all other sympathizers with our
cause. and believing in our aims. II
is our purpose to enlist the people OF
America in the common cause.
every member is required tc
n1edge his whole hearted support OF
the war until Americas aims have
been attained. We are certain that
the best way to counter-act the mali
| cious propaganda Of the Kaiser's
agents In this country Is to show the
| people that this is not q war on the
German people, as President Wilson
has so clearly expressed, but upon the
! ruling class which has held nation
