1 aSdiiot tne fI1ln loan into every American ear that will listen. Sowing DiScOrd Kare.
 1 Germany chose to under-e estimate
 American power and influence before
 we came in, but the German spirit
 does not propose to make the same
 mistake again. And because of that very persistent sort of campaign ] has been started in America since , the signing of the armistice. It has l two purposes. One is to soften the
 hearts of Americans toward the Ger mans by all manner of arguments.
 The other, and the more dangerous,
 IS expected to slow down American 1 preparations for after-war work, per-
 suade Americans to be luke warm in governmental support and to make i the United States unable to carry out it's great part in making peace and seeing that it is kept. The true German in America would l like nothing better than to see Amer i lca and France estranged and to that end he has scattered all manner of l tales concerning Frenchmen over- i charging American soldiers, payments for the use of trenches, about the dirt and disease Of French towns and literally hundreds of other stories With the want and squalor of the French he always contrasts the cleanliness and order of the Rhine population. Anything to soften our hearts toward Germany and create hatred and mistrust of the French. Old Hun Tricks.
 Between his attacks upon the Lib- erty or Fifty loan, he assails the English. He used old racial animosi- ties, old lies in lying old school his tories, old prejudices, anything that will stir up ancient feeling. A quar- would delight the true German heart beyond measure, since such quarrel would leave Hunland free to go it's way.
 Consider the joy there would be in every haunt of the real Germanism in this country and in Europe, in the Orient and in the South American republics, if the machinations of the old Germany would aid in causing America's great Fifth loan to fail. The Hun everywhere would hail this as the turn in the tide. It would mean that the American people had virtually repudiated the war, that they had forgotten their dead in France and those who sleep under the slow surges of the Atlantic done to death by U-boats.
 And straight way the real German of the old regime would take heart and hope again He would see his country free to take up again the evil dream on greater scale than ever ment would begin.
 For Germany would again be free to plot and plan across the centuries and stamp out the beginning of free government that have been within her old boundaries. Again would she look to the south and the east for strength and for that expansion that would be hers while she again gath cred her forces to fling herself upon the world.
 Would Side.Track America.
 England alone cannot make sure of real peace. Aided by France, she cannot give the world what it is hop ! ing for The strength of America is necessary to bring this to pass. EV , cry German knows this. He under stands that with America out of the coalition it would be possible to start that old diplomatic move that might better things for Germany. So the obvious thing for the Ger man in America to do is to strike at the first opportunity that offers itself and that is the Fifth or Victory I.oan." That would weaken Amerl- ca's power as no other one thing would. It would indicate that the common people of America and the great financial power of the United ! States were no longer back of the American government. i The "Invisible Germany the old, strong spirit that spread itself over the world, before and during the war, | has managed to live in America. Crippled, broken, driven from it's old | positions, it still manages to live, 1t
 is still directed by some force that
 is inimical to America and IS friend
 ly to the Hunland of the Hohenzoll- erns and the Hapsburgs.
 When the whispers go round, when
 the hints of American inefficiency
 and graft are being passed along ana
 the poisoned murmurings of wasted
 blood are heard it won't do us any
 harm to recall!
 1 Do Not Forget This.
 That so long as there was the
 slightest hope of victory the German
 dream of domination of the world re- J fused to fade. 1 So long as German armies could ! make the least advance toward Paris I they were driven on and lives count
 ed for nothing. F As long as there was anything tha
 could be destroyed in the invaded dis tricts. German armies were encour
 aped to destroy and spare nothing o
