GERMANS ATTACK
ALLIES POLICY
OF WAR TRUTHS
Call Lord Northcliffe Rough
Going Rascal; Forgery Is
Charged by Huns
BY associated Press

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front. Thursday. Sept. 10.
Efforts made by the German htsh
command to counteract the effect of
the Allies eEdeavor to express their
war aims to the German people are
evidenced in an order from General
Won Hutier which has fallen iuto
the hands CT Americans. The order,
which attacks Lord Northcliffe as a
'rough-going rascal" follows:
The enemy begins to realize that
we cannot be crushed by his block
ade, his superiority in numbers and
his force Of arms. He. therefore, is
trying, by trickery and underhanded
methods of which he is past master,
to induce III the minds of the Ger
bility. He has founded for this pur-
pose a special minister for the de-
struction of German confidence.
Attacks Northcliffc
AT the head of this ministry he
has put that most rough-go ras-
cal of all the Entente. Lord North
ciiffe. who has been given billions
for influencing opinion in Germany
and at the front by means of paid
agents, asSassinations of ambassa-
dors, and in all other ways in IA
vor with the Entente methods.
"Aviators constantly are, distribut-
ing increasing numbers of leaflets
and pamphlets. Letters written by
German prisoners are falsified in the
NJ r.
pamphlets are written to which
names of German poets, writer's and
statesmen are forged. These come
from the Northcliffe press, which is
working day and nightly for this
sole purpose. His whole thought and
aim is to place these forgeries in
the hands of the German people.
Pleads For Conference
However, obvious they may Gp-
pear to the man who thinks twice,
they may suggest a double event for
a moment, in the minds of those who
do not think for themselves and
shake their confidence in their lead
ers their own strength and in the
ineXhaustible resources of Germany.
Germany may be saved by conf
dence.
Lord Northcliffe forgets that
German soldiers are neither negroes.
Hindus, illiterate French or Amer
leans incapable of seeing through
such Vaccinations.
Explain these infamous attempts
TO your young and inexperienced
comrades. Tell them what our NOR
tai enemy expects of them and what
is at stake. Pick UP the leaflets
and pamphlets and give them to your
commanders for transmission to the
high command, which may be able to
make valuable deductions from them
as the aim of our enemies.
You thus'will help the command
and also help to hasten the hour of
victory"

 OF RED GUARDS
Associated { PreSS)

TTeSSl
 STOCKHOLM, Feb. 8.-The Fin nish leader of government forces General Mannerheim, is apparently sweeping away all opposition up to the present time. A dispatch re. ceived from Helsingfors today states that he has completely defeated and crushed the Red Guards at Korksa kosi, near Tammffors. In this bat tie more than 5000 of the revolu tionists were killed and a much larger number captured by the fore es of the provisional government
 General Mannerheim is apparently the strongest military leader in the war torn country of Finland, and is faithfully supporting the government He has won several battles during the past ten days and is concentrat ing a large force under his own leadership, preparatory to march on Helsingfors, which is under the control of the Red forces, backed by the Russian warships.
 Throughout the interior of Fin land the government forces have been uniformly successful. and il now appears that the revolution Is doomed to failure. The Reds are hanging on desperately and calling on the Bolsheviki government ol Russia for assistance.
