Mr. Stephen Washburn, the Tiroes correspondent at Pctrograd, writes that Russia is now facing two attacks. One is Germany's advance with her armies and the other is a far more serious German publicity campaign aimed at discouraging with false information the Russian public. For a year past every Russian setback has been instantly followed by insidious propaganda which starts simultaneously in a thousand different quarters. It is directed to mislead the soldiers and the public into the belief that victory is impossible and the allies have deserted the Russian cause. The idea is being subtly circulated that the attack in the west has been indefinitely suspended and that the highest authorities are secretly planning for peace. The claims of these malicious agents have grown in audacity until now they state that France, Britain and Russia lack agreement in military operations.
