In brief, Ger- many has tried and is trying to in- fluence Swiss public opinion as if the Swiss people could - clearly under- stand the German way of thinking. ; Germans Acquire Papers; As the basis of its propaganda work here, Germany acquired a number ofj newspapers in Switzerland-several in the German language and one pub- lished in French, the latter now un- der suspension. Similarly, the "Swiss" papers in the German language area quite as obviously German as the Ber- lin Lokal Anzeiger or the Cologne Ga- zette except that they are immeasura- bly less able. Then the Germans acquired or start- ed a whole series of news agencies through which to distribute their news. Soon, however, these. agen- cies added another and vastly more important function, that of collecting and transmitting news from countries at war with Germany-news, however, carefully colored if not actually dis-' torted. It was in this direction that the German propaganda began to be dangerously effective. "Swiss" Agencies Give Colored News While German newspaper men them- selves could only roost along the Ital- ian border at Lugano, and the French at Geneva, and transmit colored news from Italian and French newspapers to Germany, the neutral Swiss corre- spondents of the so-called "Swiss" agencies had free access to Italy and France. They carefully chose all the misleading, even though technically accurate, news they could squeeze by of the censor. If a sensational and uninfluential deputy in the French or Italian chamber makes an attack on the government, it is faithfully flash- ed to Switzerland; if a score of women in Rome throw stones during a pro- test meeting. Switzerland hears of the "rioting" that is gravely menacing the established order in Italy. With America's entry into the war the agencies went a step farther and rendered another important vervice to Germany, for some of them began to send, both to Switzerland and to Ger- many, distorted news from the United States. Again and again the reliable, the genuinely Swiss journals, issued denials or published the correct news, The first effect was not to be corrected by later stories.

C. Slade, and three other mariners who landed at Tutuila in an open boat, Sept. 29, after being ma- rooned on Mopeha Island by the mas- ter of the Seeadler when the raider grounded and was abandoned. The Seeadler, formerly the Ameri- can ship Pass of Balmaha, belonged to the Boston Lumber company and was in the Nova Scotia trade before the war. After the war broke out, she was put under the American flag. She was captured by the British and a prize officer was put aboard her with instructions to take her to Kirkwall, Scotland. On the way, she was cap- tured by a German submarine and sent to , Bremen, where she was fitted out as a raider. A picked crew was placed aboard, some of whom spoke Norwe- gian, and the vessel was sent out in- to the Atlantic under the guise of a Norwegian ship. Seeadler Stopped By British The ruse worked so well that, after leaving Bremen on Dec. 21, 1916, the Seeadler was held up by the British auxiliary cruiser, Highland Scot, ex- amined and passed. 'Sailors' identifi- cation books issued by the Norwegian government were furnished the men, alhtough they probab ywere taken from captured Norwegian vessels and given to men who seemed to ft the descriptions given. These, together with pictures of Norwegian kings and queens gave hte ship the appearance of a Norwegian. Captain Smith learned that, while cruising in the Atlantic, 13 ships valued by the Germans at 60,000,000 marks were captured, and also four in the Pacific, the R. C. Slade, the American schooner, A. B. Johnson, the American schooner Manila, and the French schooner, Lutece. Relating the story of the capture of his ship, the R. C. Slade, Captain Smith said: "I left Sydney on April 24, 1917, and proceeded without any incident until the evening of June 17, when I was in latitude about two north and longitude 150 west. On the evening of June 17, about 5 o'clock, the second mate re- about 5 o'clock, the second mate report- I went on deck and looked aft, and in- stantly, as I came on deck, they fired again, and I saw the shell fall short about two miles. She was about eight miles off. There was a heavy squall starting to eastward-wind favorable to this time-and, as I thought it pos- sible to get away, I kept holding on. But she kept firing on me at inter- vals of about five to- 10 minutes, and was coming up on me fast. Ninth Shot Comes Close "The ninth shot, fired about six o'- clock, struck very close, passing the poop and splashing the water on the ship. Then I concluded that there wasn't any use, and I lowered down spanker, clewed down topsail, hoisted the American flag, and hove to. About seven o'clock the raider was up along- side and asked what ship. I told him what it was, and he told me to lower down sails, and stand by, and that he would send an officer aboard me. Shortly after, the prize officer came aboard with a doctor and 10 men. These officers were in uniform. They told me to leave the ship and to go on board the raider, and that they would give me time in tfhe morning to pack my clothes. "They took all our men aboard the raider except the cok. Next morning I went back on board with all my men and packed up. We left the ship with our belongings, June 18. We were put on board the raider again. Short- ly after I saw from the raider that they had cut holes in the masts, plac- ed dynamite bombs in each mast, pu fire to both ends of the ship, and lefi her. I saw the masts go over the side and the ship was burning from end te end, as the raider steamed away." fill m A. F.
