Thousands of German spies have en deavored - to undermine national unity and divide the nation to im pede the mobilisation of Its re sources for war. They have destroy' ed property and taken life but their most effective work has been done long lines never before practiced by a nation calling Itself civilized the systematic effort to Introduce deadly maladies that slaughter the victims and cripple future generations. For this purpose Germany has prosti tuted science to curse humanity. . A couple of years ago it was proved that the Germans dropped candy from airships, tainted with germs that infected children and spread the plague in Rumania. Vials of cul ture were found burled in the Ger man embassy which were to be uied to Infect the livestock of the coun try and through them, the people. Infected and poisoned candy bat frequently been dropped npon French villages-.
