and waiting for an opportunity to de-
liver blow below the belt.
Meantime, even, before peace was
signed, England was flooded with Ger
man goods coming from neutral coun-
tries. In the same way that the Ger
man before the war built in other coun-
iris concrete emplacements for guns and
called them factories, he is to-day going
into neutral countries under Spanish,
Swiss and Swedish names and ship
ping goods into England under other
trade marks. / speak Of England from
personal knowledge; the same thing may
be going on In America for all l know.
II these things were put on the market
as German goods IL would be all right,
but when a man pretends to be every
thing except what he really Is that man
IL up to mischief.
England Fears Propaganda.
THE great fear Of everybody in the po-
litical world Of England is that Germany
will use her chief weapon, propaganda,
to dislocate International trade and
foment international prejudices and Diff
ferences. She means to do her best to
diminish the friendship between Eng
land and America. That Is the COM
bination they most fear In Germany.
American motor cars invade England.
This Is a good thing, for England has
lacked low priced car. But some one
shouts: America Is going to invade us J.
There is a clamor. An article is printed
critical Of America. 1t Is one article
out of fifty, but Germany seizes the one
and spreads II broadcast so that one
| ass braylng in a meadow becomes a
whole army, whole nation of asses
braying. Now my wife is an American.
and in her stay In England she got
around a good deal, and she never heard
one word of unfrlendly comment regard
| ing Americans. The brains of England
are absolutely appreciative of America.
1t is a thoroughly thought out, balanced
estimate. The English are more Just
in their appraisal of America than
America itself-certainly of what Amer
lea did in the war.
Would Split Allies.
| Germany Is also busy fomenting feel
ing between France and England. in
England there Is no. man who Is anti
French Occasionally some article that
would seem to belle this appears, but
II you investigate you find that 1t comes
from some French paper, and If you
trace 1t back you come to a German
source. This truth must be hammered
home. We have got to beware of any
criticism of any people who fought beside
us in the trenches We must retain the
same admiration we came to feel when
we were in danger together; anything
else is distinctly to German advantage
Germany simply cannot tolerate the idea
| Of a world not Gerrlanized throughout
| This is her dream and you can't put
1t out
There is one hopeful sign in Ger
many-the attitude of the children
You are not going to correct the Ger
man by bitter ostracism; you are moi
going to convert the present German
generation lby display of magnanimity
but you can look to the rising genera
ton. A wonderful thing was the friend
ship between the children and Our sol
diers in the occupied territory. Ger
many says she needs our help. Let VI
say, All right, we will help your chill
dren.' Wen do it. not by intoxicating
pro-ally sentiment, but through sucf
agencies as the Red Cross will give the
| rising generation the chance that wa.
denied their elders-the chance to thinl

Crooked Thoughts the Cause.

You reflected that their fathers, whom
you had been killing. were just sucl
children. children who had given ris

which changed them was nothing in
