ing "picay yunishness out Of place in
modern Germany, in which freedom is
supposed TO reign

wild boar, Herr Noske as an ape, and
Matthias Erzberger, the Finance Min
lister, as a chameleon.

No plan of campaign was given me and l believe that no elaborate plan is necessary.
 You may take this as your authority to collect funds and l hope you will find it possible to push the collections of the money as much as possible and forward same to me with list of the the fact that the funds are needed now at National headquarters to whom I will forward all the funds as soon as receive them.

 1 am writing to all of your local papers asking them to open up their columns to subscribers to this fund. and I ask that you suggest to them that they lay stress upon the necessity of getting large number of subscrib- CTS in view of the fact that large indi- vidual subscriptions are now hoped for. If you should find it advisable to create an organization to assist you. of course, you have full authority to do so.
