Joining of Hands Urged

Further and convincing evidence of
the Welding disposition of the en-
ployers is the fact that the chairman
ship of the two important committees
on organization were given to labor
men.
The employers and representatives Of

this direction when. through Frederick

The closing sentence of the Fish reso
luton conveys an idea of its tenor:
1T may well be that each member
can best promote this common interest
by maintaining fairly and honestly the
views and aspirations of those with
whom he is most closely Identified. but
he should always recognize the rights
and needs of others and that il is in

had made mistake in renting so
much, for they found that but two

of street disorders. unrest and strikes
1t must he understood, writes Doc
tor Muehlon's collaboration, that all the
censorship regulations under which
the newspapers were operating were
unknown to the people. The distor-
ton of facts was thus made easy for
every editor. He was encouraged to
say that, Notwithstanding that the al
lies were sinking German submarines
as fast as they could he built. "the
number of new German U-boatS is four
times greater than the losses. Our
sumbersible fleet has grown eNtraordi-
narily during the war. The press is
to picture the submarine warfare as a
means of shortening the struggle and
not as Il measure of retaliation or a
weapon to Starve our foes"
Faisifed Ali Facts About Us.
After months of deception in trying
to convince the people that America
would never enter the war, asserts
the Krupp director, when President
Wilson sent his ultinatum the Ger
man press readily executed an "abOut
face" and endeavored to minimize the
United States as possible adver-
s:lry.
Even after the United States had
landed more than 100000 men in
France Doctor Muehlon shows the
German papers continued their cam
paign of falsity.
After the United States had entered
the war the censors permitted such
statements as "the damage to Ger
man ships lying in American harhorS
has been carried out to our satiSfac
ton. For example, the giant steam
ship Vaterland has been made wholly
unuSable. Even the sketches of the
turbine construction have been dc
strOyed.'
How They Pictured America.
An Interesting Sidelight on the pSy
Geological view the average German
was permitted of the American stu
alton is shown in the following sum
narration by Doctor Muehlon:

lea was ininlical to Germany. But

America had such cause for complaint
against England. At the time of the
breach of diplomatic relations the i'm
preston prevailed that the people did
not want war with Germany.
"Wilson has more strongly auto
cratic position than any European
ruler. Since he is English in his up
bringing he knows little or nothing
about German things and has no use
for Germans. Undoubtedly he mas
been against us from the outset.
Often, however, he has had to guard
the interest of American high finances
Wilson himself has an unbrlbaDie
character. He did not labor to bring
about war with Germany, since thefe
