De sc,iDtfons or devastation in France and Belgium were forbidden and all references to barbaviSm and wanton destruction were taboo, with the Sign,- ficat expression: The army knows when to use force and when to b. mil1."

 Referring to the time when hund- reds Were dying daily in Turkey from starvation and the collapse Of the Ot- tomau army seemed imminent and when Germany was sending vast quantities of food and munitions an heavy achievements of troops to tho Near East, Dr. Nuchlon recalls the fact that in those dark days "the Ger man people were fed upon roScate ac- counts of conditions in Turkey, that the Sultan's army was strong anu sufficient, and the Turks were a va. uab,c ally. With the enormous masses of troops that We had Co send to Tul- key" continues the pamphlet, 'it was pretty strong 70 suggest to the press rha, the Turkish army reserve was adequate. IL was deliberate altering of the facts"
 It must be understood, writes Dr. Muchlon'S collaborator, that all the censorship regulations under which the newspapers were operating were unknown to the people. The distortion of facts was thus made easy for every editor. lie was encouraged to thal, notwithstanding that the Allies wcrt sinking German submarines as fast as they could be built, "the numbe" of new German U-boatS is four times greater than the losses. Our submers- ible fleet has grown extraordinarily during the war The press is to picCurs the submarine warfare as means ot shortening the struggle and not as a measure of retaliation or a weapon % starve our focS."
 After months of deception in try ing to convince the people that Ameri- ca would never enter the war, assert, the Krupp director, when President Wilson sent his ultimatum, the Ger man press very readily executed an about face" and endeavored to min imize the United States as a possible adversary. Quoting from the pamph lut: "Thc entry of America would mean little from a naval standpoint.

The United States has built no armored cruisers, which ere decisive in maritime warfare. For the transport of an army corps of 30,. 0OO men, = steamships of 1000 tons each are necessary. For the transport of 100 GOO soldiers with nothing but their marching equipment, 100000 tons each are necessary. For the transport of 100000 soldiers with nothing but their marching equipment, 100000 tons would be necessary for the double trip"
 Even after the United States had landed more than l,500,000 men in France, the German papers continued their campaign of falsity and deluS- ion. The diplomatic intercourse be- tween Germany and the United States during the two years preceding Amer ica's entry into. the war is set forth in the pamphlet with interesting re- ferences to Count Won BernStorff and his military and naval attaches, Boy Ed and Von Papen, in Washington.
