GERMAN CALLS
u. s. HOME Of
0PT.|M|STS
Says Methods Of Propaganda
in U. S. Should Be Adopted
in Europe
BY Internatlonal News service

BERLIN. Nov. 13-'.Americans are
born propagandists because they are
optimists. Optimism is the indis-
pensable condition OF q successful
propaganda. Europeans should learn
"a lesson and adopt the American
methods of propaganda says an
editor OF the German Central Catl1o-
lie organ, "Germania," in an article
investigating the fundamentals OF
American propaganda methods.
The reasons why Americans are
optimtsts are obvious. The United
States came out Of the war poIiti.
cally and economically strengthen.
ed, and every American citizen
drew profit from this strengthening
OF its world position. Americans
Jared well In the past, therefore
they have no trouble in believing
in q brilliant future.
Contrasts Conditions
Europeans are born in a certain
stable state Of conditions, while the
conditions in which American citi.
zens are born are changing day by
day, offering much better prospects
to everybody than stagnated Europe.
With the exception Of Russia, mir.
acles in Europe, are a thing OF the
past. The world war strengthened
european pessimisnn. The belief in
common sense and human charity
is practically gone.
american propaganda, as an
art OF influencing the masses, had
not been discovered at the begin.
ming Of the war. It has existed a
long time since. Whenever Ameri.
can interests were at stake, the
American press, the most power.
ful propaganda in the world, sue.
ceeded in appealing to the reason
and to the sentiments of the Amer.
lean citizen.
The Method Cited
Propaganda appealing to reason
chiefly consisted in hammering into
the minds OF certain people certain
notions Of freedom, morals and
world democracy. While this sort
OF propaganda was primarily meant
to influence the educated middle
class people. a clever propaganda
at schools inspired young Ameri-
cans with respect and reverence OF
the American flag. America first
and last was the slogan with which
the lower classes were inspired with
enthusiasm for the war without
their realizing it.
I'VE might adopt a good deal OF
their propaganda methods. First
of all. we should learn to believe in
our own cause and to fight 1t out
to the last. It took long time
for the Germans to realize the i'm
portance of propaganda, and It is
only to be hoped that the Germans
will go in for 1t with the thor
oughness and Xigor which they
have earned a name for through
out the world

PARENTS ARE BLAMED
FOR CRIMES OF YOUNG

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-"Most OF
the crime In this country is caused
by young people" That was said
by the Reverend Annesley T. Young,
chaplain of the city mission at Bel
ord Reformatory and Riker's island,
to a meeting of young Italians at
the Church of San Salvatore in
Broome street.
''This is because the father and
sometimes the mother have forgot
ten Christ" he said. "If I had my
way every young man arrested and
committed to correctional institu-
tions would be paroled and given
another chance. Then 1 would GU
out and try to find the parents and
help them to a more sympathetic
understanding Of their children"

This was the ruling Of q learned

after being sentenced to death re-
