At Düsseldorf is the _Büro zur Verbreitung deutscher Nachrichten im Auslande_ (the German Bureau for distributing German news abroad). The French version of this title is _Bureau allemand pour la publication de nouvelles authentiques à l'Etranger_. Observe, in passing, that _Deutsche Nachrichten_ is translated as "authentic news," which will not fail to surprise the reader. This Bureau used to publish _Le Réveil_, a remarkable journal sold in Belgium and the occupied parts of France. The _Deutscher Überseedienst_ (German Overseas Service) busies itself particularly with the falsification of public opinion abroad. Its publications are usually distributed gratis. For Americans living in Europe, Germany provides _The Continental Times, Special War Edition and Journal for Americans in Europe_, edited at the Hôtel Adon in Berlin. To judge of the veracity of this journal, it is enough to read, in the issue for the 8th February, the article by Herr J. E. Noegerath, devoted to his journey through Belgium. In this we learn that "Malines was bombarded simultaneously by the Belgians and the Germans; the cathedral, somewhat seriously damaged, is about to be repaired by the Germans." St. Rombaut repaired by the Germans! This exceeds even the German limits! Well, the Americans in Europe have a chance of obtaining positive information. _The League of German Scientists and Artists for the Defence of Civilization_ (in French they make it _La Ligue pour la défense de la civilisation_--for the _prevention_--which is just what it is!) is installed in the Palace of the Academy of Science in Berlin, Unter den Linden, 38. It publishes pamphlets; for example, that of Herr Riesser, on _The Success of the German War Loan_. As far as we know it has published nothing about Belgium. * * * * * A very interesting method of propaganda is that which consists in attaching to business letters leaflets printed on very thin paper, giving "authentic" news in the language of the recipient. _The Hamburger Fremdenblatt_ has published many of these, at 10 pfennigs for 10 copies. They include, notably, _Appeals to Christians_; _An Appeal to the Catholic Missions_, in German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian; _An Appeal to the Protestant Missions_, in German, English, and Portuguese. Another series of leaflets to be inserted in letters is published by the _Bureau des Deutschen Handelstages, Berlin_ (Bureau of the German Commercial Conference of Berlin). Nine different leaflets appeared. No. 10 and the succeeding leaflets are of different origin; these leaflets are now published by the _Kriegs-Auschuss der Deutschen Industrie, Berlin_ (Military Commission of German Industry). No. 10 reproduces a proclamation by Dr. Schroedter, threatening to strip the Belgians of all their copper, "down to the last door-handle."
