RUMORS--In 1914, when
German armies were sweep
ing across Belgium and
France, threatening to OUT
flank the British expedi-
tionary force, a rumor was
circulated in Britain that
thousands of Russian sol-
diers had been landed in
Scotland, en- route to the
western front. This electri-
flying report spread like Wild
fire throughout England. 1t
also came to the attention
of the German high COM
mand.
With every passing hour
the number Of Russians in
creased in public imagina-
ton. Then one day excited
Londoners heard that q con-
tingent of these troops had
been sent to the continent.
Actually, a boatload Of
troops had been sent. but
there was no Czarist soldiers
aboard-only British ma
rines, whose uniforms were
not unlike the Russians.
When these marines landed
in Belgium, the German
commander Immediately as
sumed they were the Rus
slams he had heard so much
about, and promptly sent
large forces to meet the new
threat" This relieved the
pressure on the British
Army.
The German commander
soon realized that he had
been the victim Of a hoax.
but by the time he could re-
group his forces 1t was too
late to deliver a decisive
blow. Back in England the
British were delighted by the
turn of events. And no one
was more pleased than the
man who had been respon-
sible for the rumor--Win-
ston Churchill.
