"Rumor-manger: now are in clover and much stupid and mali- cious chatter is being bandied about. causing excitement and helping the enemy," said the trans- mitter of an army group in the It is no accident that so many oi’ thae warnings are addressed to the armed forces. Straggiers from the army are even more dangerous rtunor carriers than evacuees. because their judgment of the situation is more trusted otherl.
