CONVINCED MIDDLE WEST
That German Cause Was Just Vast
Press Agent ActiTitles Poisoned
I Public Opinion for Months.
! (By Charles Edward Russell.)
Washington, D. C, March 17. The
evil men do lives after them, and the
evil done to this country by Count
Johannes von Bernstorff threatens
long to outlive the memory of his
name.
The reason the President has hesi
tated to act in the crisis the Zimmer
man note broight is bccau?3 he did
not have a united country behind him,
and the reason he didn't have that is
chiefly because of the. cunning work
of the German press agency, conduct
ed' by that boss schemer, von Bern
storff. When the 12 Benedict Arnolds of
the Senate managed to beat 'him about
armed . neutrality the natural hope
was that they talked no disloyalty out
their own. The Legislatures of the
Middle West Stages have knocked that
: hope galley, west.
The ugly fact to give us all a jolt
is that the 12 must have spoken a
feeling common in "the regions they
come from.
How does it happen that at this
supreme crisis in our history so many
Americans of the Middle West are at
odds with the rest about such a mat-"
ter?
I am a Middle Westerner myself.
Nobody can put Itover on me that my
part of the country is any less Amer
ican than any other, or any readier to
Save the flag in the mud. Even after
all these Legislatures have testified
4o the contrary, I'm not jared out of
that faith.
' We owe all this trouble tc the won
derful von Bernstorff press agency.
The adroit mind that steered that
concern picked out the Middle West
as its best hold because the Middle
West had so many cities with large
German populations, and it made each
of those cities a center from which to
tell lies and spread dope.
Every day and every night there
went, out a flood, of press' matter in
geniously" designed by a mind that
knew the American mental processes
as well as it know its own.
It was put up in a way to be cer
tain of getting into the American
press "good stories" from the news
point of view, that scarcely an editor
ever would suspect
If it was the masascres in Belgium
this amazing genius knew how to
cover them with such a web of doubt
that today four in every five Ameri
cans have no certainty there evei
were any such things.
If It was the iolation of Belgium's
treaty rights, he scattered alleged doc
uments to show that England wa3
about to do the same thing.
For this reason and this alone,
many Americans have the whole war
upside down.
Very ften they do not know or
they will not cons! ler the simplest
facts about it. They do not know, or
will not think that Germany planned
it years in advance; that the row with
Serbia was only a pretense; that Ger
many was so bent upon It she twice
rejected the .arbitration that would
have avoided it; that she really de
clared it in April, 1913, and not n
August, 1914; that she alone is re
sponsible for blood drenched and ruin
ed Europe,
They will not ccnsideT that from
the beginning Germany has steadily
treated this country with . intolerable
contempt and deliberate attacks: that
she never had the slightest right tc
sink one American ship; that every
shot she has fired at sucn a ship has
been a separate act of wir; that when
her agents blew up American facto
ries and killed American workingmen
they were waging vtr just as nuch
as if German troop.3 had formally in
vaded us. 4
. They will not even consider the
sobering fact that if Germany should
win in this war her plans call for a
new triple alliance to divide the
world; that her share is to include the
rich field of South America and that
means we shall fight her then if we
don't fight her now.
They have been hypnotized by the
von Bernstorff stuff about Germany
fighting for the Fatherland, the fairy
tales about Russia and the carefully
manufactured stuff about British in
terference with the "freedom of the
seas."
That is why the President fails of
the support he. ought to have, and
we stand fiddling and fooling when
we ought to be at the great task of
freeing the world and setting forward
the march of progress and democracy.
Von Bernstorff that's all. ....

In the face of superior natural advantages
possessed by competing towns, Advertising
produced in California one of the finest and
most beautiful cities in the 'whole world- It
It is Los Angeles Every state in the union
and every country on earth her. o sent men
and women to live there. Wealth was
brought in. Manufactures were attracted.
Population increased my amazing strides.
The results were wonderful and so unmis
takable was the cause of them all that a
famous writer was moved tocaU Los Angeles
The City that Advertising built-
There was neither magic
nor miracle in Los An
geles' growth it was
brought to pass by vi-
The Facts Point The

sion; by a truthful conception of the power
of publicity ; by the correct application of the
laws of cause and effect.
What Los Angeles accomplished any other
town may do and towns in Western North
Carolina may do it more easily. Any Wes
tern Carolina town that has ambition enough
to raise a fund equal to the per capita expen
diture of Los Angeles may achieve even bet
ter results than were possible where new
citizens had to be induced to cross a conti
nent and the arid wastes of the -West.
That WESTERN CAROLINA possesses
many remarkable ad
vantages is so strikingly
evident as to admit of
no argumeut.
