The situation became so serious that the government instluted widespread propaganda of falsehood to relieve tbe public mind. This propaganda took many forms. When we had a million troops in France . the German high command gravely informed the public that thoy numbered fewer than 200,000 and were wretchedly equipped. I saw Captain Erich von Salzmann, nenhew of General Ludendorff, at the Vossiche Zeitung office. He had just come back from the front "Ludendorff told me," he said "that the American soldiers are incomparable for trench war, but in open battle ho thought they would prove useless." That was jefore Chateau Thierry. People Aeeept Salimann's Stories As Von Salzmann is Ludendorff's nephew, the Berlin public accepts his iiecting opinions oi me nign commanu. : Shortly after leaving Berlin I saw a quotation from General von Luden- ! dorff, in a neutral newspaper, statins j uhat he- had changed his mind about I tne American troops, tiut i was wunnjj to Wager Berlin" never saw that quota tion. On my last night In Berlin I at tended a lecture at Beethoven Saal. the most ' exclusive concert hall in Ger many, on "The Truth About America." The speaker was Dr Bartheline. for mer Washington correspondent of the Koelnische Zeitung. His exposition was typical of German propaganda. For two weeks Berliners had been urged to hear "the truth' 'through post ers displayed at conspicuous places. was free. About one thou sand persons . responded. I procured a seat near the stage. American Strength Belittled I "When America entered the war he was in no respect prepared for it.'' j Barthelme declared. When universal service was decreed the American gov ernment found that it could neither . train, house nor feed the troops. The government could not even get shoes for them. "And," he asserted blandly, "they i could not transport them to Europe. ! America lacked shipping facilities. Sh has been able to send only 200,000 poorly-equipped soldiers to France. ."The United States had about 6000 officers in -the regular army. But the largest tactical unit was a battalio i of about 700 men. How in the world could these oflcers suddenly comma r 1 a million, even after they had them?" Here Dr. Bathelme paused and looked Inquiringly at his audience. NoboJy offered to suggest how the feat might 1.476 i be accomplished. Throughout the audi ence sat as mute as the Kamakura Daibute. If Barthelme's misrepresenta tions made any impression it was not apparent "Now then," he resumed, "why dll America enter the war? Let me tell you something." And this Is what he told u : "Fifty fnilllon Americans are at tlv moment pro-German. "Fifteen millions, including 13,000.000 negroes, are neutral. jniy ao.uuu.uuo Americans are Fro- J cuisine.

Hence, we have no reason to fear America before 1919 or 1920. And by that time the war ill be over." I found the favorite means of sus taining the deception about America was to print startling account of imaginary U-boat victories. The day after my ar rival in Berlin I was surprised to find in all newspapers a report of the sink- having been perforated by a German torpedo. I smuggled this cartoon out of Germany. I noticed that In all cartoons depicting Germany's enemies. Uncle Sam never was shown In company of England or France. America, if fourfd, was singled out invariably for . separate treatment and portrayed as a harmless bugoon.

I "Another factor was the fear of Ja- I nan ThA American eovprnrrlent sipizerl . upon the world conflict as an excuse ; for raising a largS army to discourage I any interference in its future policies by the Japanese." These falsehoods were not new to Berliners. They had been repeated so systematically in the German papers that every German accepted them as true. No Berliner I encountered would for aa moment entertain any other. Con cluding, Dr. Barthelme said : England "Deliberately Favored" "But these motives could have been overcome If the president had not un conditionally favored England and de liberately created a situation In which congress was bound to follow him." What the nature of this "situation" was Dr. Barthelme did not undertake to state. The details of Germany's an nouncement to Mr. Gerard of an arbi trary extension of the U-boat son are no part of the German government's I propaganda against America. ' Dr. Barthelme's amazing fiction about 200,000 American troops in France at the -;" moment when almost 1.000.000 "Doughboys'1! stood on French soil was "corroborated" by some of the leading newspapers of Berlin.
