Excerpt from Who Is Guilty?: Authentical Revelations From the Belgian Archives Regarding Outbreak of the World War in the Light of Present Times and League of Nations
Enough has been said of this phase of the anti-german propaganda, and attention can now be given to the second one: That Germany, successful in defeating her European enemies, would next turn her arms to an attack upon the United States. An unreasoning and inflamed populace lent again a believing ear to this unutterably stupid and brainless story, which is disproven by the fact up to this day even Germany never accepted the declaration of war by the United States of America. She merely fought the American troops as a con tingent of the entente cordiale.
The third invention in line of the propaganda which, as every man, woman and child of the present time knows, and which beyond all measure of doubt will be execrated by all future generations, had its origin not in England, was the cry for liberty for all peoples of the globe oppressed by despotic monarchism and militarism. This child of a deceased brain was to the already inflamed people of this country the main lever by which the administration succeeded in mobilizing the whole nation into the fanatic war attitude of the period begin ning on April 6, 1917.
