The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1919-06-16

You have a right to believe all
this stuff, but have you given the
source of it thought, and have you
any idea of the harm it is doing your
own cause? If you have been giving
time to this sort of thinking, you
need physician are victim
! of the thing you swore you would
not allow to get hold Of you. German
propaganda of the most artful sort
has been fed to you and you are
"full up" on it.
You have been told in recent weeks
! that your cotton will not reach its
real value till Germany gets hold OF
it. For long tine you have been
stOrmed with charges that President
Wilson has held the English and
French embargo on cotton when he
could have lifted it and let cotton
into Germany Now you are asked
to go further and believe that you
never will be given q fair deal or
| honest consideration even when you
Cirer your cotton to England and
France.
DO you know what that is? That's
plan German trade propaganda.
Have you been guilty of passing these
| late aches" on to your neighbor?
Then you have been ANONYMOUSLY
used by the Germans for bit of SER
vice they have needed in America.
When are you going to stop it?
| Have you ever known similar
party or political bitterness to exist
between the "Out" and the "lns" in
national affairs? Did you ever see
the United States senate overrun by
such reckless, wild men?
The president of this country and
, some other unflinching wise Ameri-
can statesmen have given their time
to making a peace treaty which will
hold a terrible enemy of free govern
ment in check. Their efforts have al
ready spoken eternal doom for Ger
man militarism,--not German trade
interests and free government. Ger
many is about to be brought face to
face with the real wreckage she has
wrought. If that penalty can be side
stepped, IF the real consequences
/ of the war can be lodged in the de-
lays which members of the American
senate may be able to cause by de-
handing treaty separated from the
league covenant, Germany will pro-
fit largely, because the treaty terms
unquestinably will be softened by
time more than by any one other
agency.
Germany imposed the most hor-
Tible conditions upon Europe that
mankind has ever known. Germany
assumed the foulest advantages and
the most cunning aggression that a
warning nation has ever offered. Ger
many sacrificed more men to vain
military pride than any nation has
ever given to that idol. There are
| left still in Germany the men who
conducted all that struggle. Not one
of the important leaders is missing
as vet. We have beaten them at
arms Their chance of winning
against American force was as pos
sible as monkey show, at the north
pole. Now shall we become victims
o. new warfare?
! You owe it to your nation and your
government to keep your mouth
clean and your mind clear of this
maudln sympathy for Germany. You
are just as much traitor now as
you would have been in the conflict
if you assume TO champion the cause
of your enemy. Every republican dol
lar which has been spent of late il
an effort to discredit Wilson and the
democrats with our associates in the
fight against the common enemy, has
played directly into the hands of the
Germans who are giving night and
day to the lifting of the cloud of hate
in this country.
You say il will be best to forge
