DECEIVING THE PUBLIC.
GERMAN METHODS EXPOSED
USE OF LONDON PRESS.
Times and Sydney Sun Serrices. (Received August 18, 5.10 p.m.)
London, August 12.
The Times publishes an exposure of the German press manoeuvres.
It states that a prominent personage in close personal relationship with the Kaiser sent a communication to the Times intended for publication on August 3, the day of Sir Edward Grey's speech, pointing out that the Kaiser did not want war, and placing the responsibility on Russia.
The Times did not publish the communication because it was a flagrant contradiction of the facts.
On the same night the Times received a misdirected telegram from the Wolff News Bureau, in Berlin, commanding its London correspondent to telegraph'the Times' statement verbatim.
This discloses a transparent attempt to use the influence of the Times for the purposo of misleading the British and German public.
