Show Hun Propaganda For Leniency Due ; In America Soon WASHINGTON, Nov. IS Govern-! ment agents see evidences that German Ger-man propaganda machinery in the United States Is being put in working order again to promote sentiment of leniency toward Germany in peace terms. Consequently, department of Justice officials today warned that the public should remain watchful against resumption of propaganda by interests formerly actively pro -German, and for the past year passive. Concerted movement is apparent, officials say, In numerous cases of individuals, in-dividuals, a few organizations formerly active for German interests, and some newspapers. There is no organized leadership, it is believed, but local interests in-terests have taken their cue from official of-ficial pleas from Germany for leniency in armistice and final peace terms. Official reports show German representatives rep-resentatives in various parts of the world still actively engaged in spreading spread-ing propaganda to create and enhance the feeling of hostility toward the United Uni-ted States and the allied countries. Eckhardt, the notorious German ambassador am-bassador at Mexico City, again is reported re-ported doing his utmost to make Mexico Mex-ico hostile to tho United States and is able to have misleading articles published In the semi-official Mexicar papers. Recently, he had published throughout Mexico that tho German army had not been defeated and thai the German navy was still fighting the allied navies. |
