ONE HU.NDRED AND ONE GERMAN lAKH NAU^ED nv HT. lAiVlH REPUBIilC. -Miller, •^ -Wolle, 3—Captain Pfliigsten, 4—Coleman, 5—Cook, Manager Antes, 9—Roe. Hartman, -Coach Koorle, German propagandists have been busy since the entry of the United StAtes Into the war. Falsehoods of every character have been spread over every section of the country with the idea of abusing the confl¬ dence of the American people. So persisitent has been the circulation of these carefully moulded pro-Ger¬ man lies that an oflicial exposure of them has been Isaufxl as a pamphlet entitled "The Kolserite in America by a Committeo of Public Informa¬ tion, 8 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. A copy of this pamphlet may be had free if Inquiry will be directed to the Committee. Tales have been current about in¬ terned German prisoners being fed flve meals a day, about Red Cross supplies being sold to shopkeepers by dishonest officials, by criminal waste of food at training camps and many other like falsehoods either designed to discourage volunteer Red Cross work and the loyal efforts ot house¬ keepers to save food or calculated to create a troublesomo distrust ot the Government. The circulation of these stories Is often due to the folly ot a citizen who wishes to appear to have "in¬ side Information" and who cither In¬ nocently or intentionally starts a lie that rapidly grows worse aa It DEATH SENTENCE FOR COPLAHiURDERER Frank Ressler Likely to be Electro¬ cuted for Killing of Woman.

Judge Gro¬ man pronounced the sentence, which will In all liklihood send the young man to the electric chair making the second person from this county to thus pay the death penalty. Jonaa Brobst was tho other man sentenced to death in the chair. When Ressler wae before the court in January, his attorneys, Richard lobst and John Schwartz, took ad¬ vantage of an old law, one which had not been before used in Lehigh coun¬ ty, to enter a plea ot guilty and to let the court decide the degree. Ar¬ gument was heard on the third Mon¬ day in February and Monday the court's finding!, were announced. Ressler, impassive, heard the death sentenced pronounced, without a tre¬ mor, and showed no signs of emotion, even after Ge/a Bolez, court interpre- spreads. A collection of such lies ' ter, told him the whole import ot the and their refutation has been made | sentence. by the St. Louis Republic.

German propagandists have been busy since the entry of the United StAtes Into the war. Falsehoods of every character have been spread over every section of the country with the idea of abusing the confl¬ dence of the American people. So persisitent has been the circulation of these carefully moulded pro-Ger¬ man lies that an oflicial exposure of them has been Isaufxl as a pamphlet entitled "The Kolserite in America by a Committeo of Public Informa¬ tion, 8 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. A copy of this pamphlet may be had free if Inquiry will be directed to the Committee.
Tales have been current about in¬ terned German prisoners being fed flve meals a day, about Red Cross supplies being sold to shopkeepers by dishonest officials, by criminal waste of food at training camps and many other like falsehoods either designed to discourage volunteer Red Cross work and the loyal efforts ot house¬ keepers to save food or calculated to create a troublesomo distrust ot the Government.
The circulation of these stories Is often due to the folly ot a citizen who wishes to appear to have "in¬ side Information" and who cither In¬ nocently or intentionally starts a lie that rapidly grows worse aa It

Jonaa Brobst was tho other man sentenced to death in the chair.
When Ressler wae before the court in January, his attorneys, Richard lobst and John Schwartz, took ad¬ vantage of an old law, one which had not been before used in Lehigh coun¬ ty, to enter a plea ot guilty and to let the court decide the degree. Ar¬ gument was heard on the third Mon¬ day in February and Monday the court's finding!, were announced.
Ressler, impassive, heard the death sentenced pronounced, without a tre¬ mor, and showed no signs of emotion, even after Ge/a Bolez, court interpre-
