The New York WorZd began last Sunday, and has continued
throughout the week, the publication of a remarkable series of secret German documents revealing the purposes and activities of the official German propaganda in the United States. Not only do the documents suggest that Count Bernstorff com- mands a revenue of £400,000 weekly for the suborning of American public opinion and prosecuting the campaign in the United States against the Allies, but they implicate officials of the German Foreign Office—acting with the approval of the Chancellor—the Military Attaché, financial and other agents in a huge and complicated conspiracy for, poisoning the American Press, promoting strikes, preventing the shipment of munitions to the Allies, and securing the control of companies engaged in the .manufacture of war supplies of all sorts.
