The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER. MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1915. CAMPAIGN OF LYING.

If'is ti'ncloubtctl that, ,permap.y has gttin'e'd'at least some temporary adv tu tafies Ijf'.'the campaigns ,ui lying, bribery, '.and' threat which Uemiaii ennssarins have [been assiduously .caiji'/iiu on for years. It is,, of course, diflicult for honorable nations to combat such Teuton wiles, and"'imicli mischief is often doiie the bbfooled dupes fiYm-out how (J'efiuaii perfidy has"been tlieir undoing. For months the Balkan States and tJreece have beeir Hooded with war news' made in l.'erhiauy, alleging' great victories lor the Huns

and even, assorting successes oil the seas. Persistently a heavily subsidised Press lias repeated such stories, and witli no better source? of information to hand it is not surprising to find that some impression has been made on the populace at large. There are many small States which, while- hating and fearing the Germans, are too tearful of their position to go openly Against the Huns until assured that the wild dream of German world dominance is quite impossible, though such an assurance would lie eminently gratifying in many lands which now with anxious eyes wait lor the next movement. It is certainly high time that the Allies commenced a systematic propaganda to counteract the enemy falsehoods, so that the truth of the position might be before many neutral States which are utterly in the dark as to what is really happening. Greece should receive special attention in this direction lor. though it is evident German influence in high places is having a had effect, the people can only regard with loathing an alliance with the T'urco-Hun atrocity-mongers. If they are permitted to learn the truth, the private ends of even royalty will have to give way before the tide of popular feeling.
