BERLIN PLANS TO
SWAY YANKEES?
American Legion Warns Against
Propaganda Work by j
the Germans.
GREAT NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Declares Its Object Is Disruption of
the Accord Which Exists Between
the u. S. and Its Allies
in War.

Indianapolis, Feb. 22.-Keep a close
watch for a revival of German prop
uganda in the United States, is the
warning sent out to American Legion
posts throughout. the country by the
Legion's national headquarters here.
The bulletin, which was sent to all
state headquarters, said:
There has come to the attention of
the national headquarters information
indicating a move for nationwide
revival of German propaganda activ-
tiles in the United States, which are
the result of a carefully directed ma
tional campaign, the object of which
seems to be:
'First-The disruption of the accord
which exists between the United
States and our allies, with particular
reference to France and Great Britain,
by the turning of American popular
sentiment against the governments of
those countries; and
Creates Political Machine.
"Second-The methodical creation
of powerful national political ma
chine by the amalgamation of the dis
loyal elements of our nation, and ee-
walton to place of power in Amer
lean politics by the invisible influence
of the organized minority.
''One of the first national manifes-
tations of this activity will probably
take the form of series of mass
meetings throughout the country, os-
tensibly in protest against the occupa-
tion of the Rhine by French negro
troops from Africa.
'"Che alleged presence of French
colonials is to be used as a motive to
turn American sentiment against
France.
Negro troops were withdrawn from
the French army of occupation months
ago. While there their conduct was
excellent. according to official reports
from the American ambassador at
Paris to the State department at
Washington.
To Hold Mass Meetings.

of such mass meetings in New York,
