The Germans have found new
method for making propaganda for
themselves in neutral and even in AL
lied countries. This new propaganda
has assumed the form Of music text
books, which the Central Powers in
tend to spread in foreign countries.
Recently the Germans published
especially for school use the text of
Becthoven's &C Minor Sonata" The
text is accompanied by copious notes
and introductions, the aim of which is
to extol German Kultur and revilc the
enemies of Germany. According to the
editors, only Germans are able to COM
pose sonatas; none of Gcrmany's
enemies can be compared to the Ger
mans.
In the preface, the editor, Profcs-
sor Heinrich Schenker, who is regarded d
as great personality by the Germans,
says:
"Lct the German nation, which is the
most capable in the universe. and
which is more richly endowed with
talents and abilities than even the
Greeks and Romans, ascend the steps
Of the throne; and let the German ma
tion persist until the inferior nations
understand its greatness and learn to
appreciate it with gratitude!"
Only the Germans are great and
possess no faults. The French, the

English, Italians, Russians and Amcri-
cans have nothing but faults, accord
ing to Professor Schenker.
Ut the French he says that "they are
deprived of all sincerity, of intclli-
gence, of culture, fond to exagceration
OF vague and meaningless phrases, who
indulge in degenerate practices. and
are m.-- narrow minded"
AS to the English, he says that their
love for sports has deprived them com
pletely of the religious sense. man
ncrs, artistic tastes and scientific
spirit: "ln spite of Shakespeare, Car
lyle, Byron and some others, the Eng
llsh people are contemplate"
-. The Italian, in the Germans opinion,
is bandit, boastcr, faithcss, who
mas taken the motto of sacred egotism
from the brigands. without inheriting
thelr chivalrous character"
Of all, however. he finds for the
Americans the most insulting names:
crowd OF storekeepcrs without
NuItur, whose mind cannot be excited
except by the coarsest buffooncry. The
country often boastcd of unlimited
possibilities, but in reality it is the

Wcismann always understood how to
make good use of changing condi-
tions to the advancement of his per-
sonal interest. BY and by, he became
q beacon light of the New York colony
of Potsdam enthusiasts. His name was
mentioned quite often in the German
language press, and always in connec-
tion with some deserving" cause or
plan. To the readers who creduously
devoured the panegyrics of these sheets
he was the embodiment of fairness,
consistency, ability and far-seeing
vision. They regarded it as near bias

Department of Justice
Takes Charge of
Obvious Cases
Complaints Are Made
Board of Health, However,
Says 1t Is Another "Poi-
son Needle" Scare

Although the Health Department
thinks that the epidemic of glass in
bread is the poison needle" scare over
again, the Federal food board is so
alarmed over the situation that 1T is
about to issue a second warning to the
public.
Complaints continue to pour into the
Office of the food board, and in many
cases, according to P. A. Johann, head
Of the boards complaint bureau, the
presence of glass is so obvious that
there is no reed for analysis. The
boards belief that glass is being put
into bread by men in the bakeshops is
stronger now than ever
The board considers the situation 80
grave that only the Department of
Justice can cope with it, for the board
has no power to prosecute. All the OBJ
vious cases are sent to the Department
of Justice; only those that are doubt
full are sent to the Board of Health for
analysis.
This explanation is offered for the
fact that the Board of Health's chem
lists have been unable to find glass in
the samples submitted to them by the
food board.

ment because we did not know whether
they contained glass or not" said an
officer of the board yesterday. "The

the specimens on which we base our
belief that the glass is being put de-
lihcrately into bread in the blkeshops.
There was no need to send these sam
pies to the Department of Health. We
! have seen the glass with our own eyes,
and it is for the Department of Justice
to say who is responsible"
Three New Cases Reported
Three new cases were reported to
the Food Board yesterday. They were
all obvious cases, and were referred 10
the Department of Justice.
What increases the confidence of the
Food Board that the epidemic is the
result of malicious tampering with food
is the fact that the great majority OF
the samples actually containing glass
are the product Of large bakeries which
employ many workers.
In the early stages OIL tnes epldcnlc,
when the Food Board was still attempt
ing to deal with it, it summoned the
proprietors of two large bakeries to
conference. The bakers admitted that
they were deeply impressed by the evi-
dence and could furnish no explanation
of the presence of the glass in the
bread.
Details of Cases Secret
Since then the Food Board has seen
glass in the product Of three, more
large bakeries. but it has been left to
the Department of Justice to investi-
gate For this reason the board re-
fuses to divulge details of the cases.
confining itself to the statement that
the increasing number of complaints
has shown that the boards first public
warning was justified and that sec
ond warning may be necessary.
At the Department of Justice it was
announced last night that many new
cases had been reported and were un-
der investigation. The presence of
glass was obvious in many instances.
Hoboken. hitherto apparently unaf-
fected. furnished one case yesterday.
Mrs. Frank Nichols, 359 Second Street,
reported to Chief of Police Hayes that
she had found glass in bread. The
case was handed over to the Federal
authorities.
