Not all German propaganda is crude, though a great deal

of it is. Someone has sent me the latest issue of Nea; From Germany, which is posted broadcast from Starnberg, in Bavaria, to large numbers of people in this country. It contains in six pages the German version of the annexation of Austria, and the work has been done with considerable skill. The essentials—such as the ultimatum from Berlin—are omitted altogether, but on English readers content to study current events in headlines they are calculated to make a considerable impression. Truth with a twist is less easily checked than plain falsehood, and these circulars are of the truth with a twist order.
