The county commissioners at the last

] WAR STORIES.

WAN. SIVNdES.
A friend sends clipping in which it
is stated that some correspondent or
ether fellow started out to find the truth
in reference to stories told OF German
atrocities and could lind no correbor.
alton whatever. Perhaps some ono
might answer, that between the stories
told OF atrocities and the story of the
correspondent thatit was just . question
OF who was doing the lying.
So Tar as the truthtelling is concerned
in these war stories Solomon long cont
uries ago had discovered that all men
were liars.-and he didn't except any
particular nationality.
The atrocity stories which are really
told about all the nations ct war, re very
early in the game warned our readers,
first. that tho stories themselves wsrs
mostly:vi.hout actual foundation or il
facts that thsy were likely to be exag.
gerated.
At the same time We cautioned oul
readers to distinguish between the acts
OF isolated individuals or parties and the
cots Of the governments or commanding
officers.
Men in the armies are very like men
elsewhere, and we read daily in our own
cities Of many atrocities committed BY
men who arc not in the army.
Then many times the atrocities arr
committed in retaliation for outragea
committed by the country or towns
people. The country people may be in.
csnsed at an invading army. They re.
sent the occupation Of their farms and
villages by the "enemy." They do things
they should not do under the rules oi
war. The soldiers retaliate-and then
comes the etory Of an "atrocity." 1t may
be thatit ls an atrocity, but it is war.
Occasionally, party Of soldiers may
be out by themselves away from the
command Of commissioned officers, they
enter the homes of the inhabitants, find
wine or other strong drink, and before
they leave may commit atrocities for
which they would be shot by their own
officers il it were known to them.
Such acts are q natural incident of
any war, and are but what one may ex
pect from uncontrolled human nature.
As to burning and shelling cities, that
is also an incident Of war. In the judg-
ment of the losing party it is always an
act Of vandalism. 1t the judgment Of
the victorsor aggressors it is necessary
act Of war.
The Pioneer Express believes none of
these stories until after the war is over.
That many Of them are true is certain
as that it is human nature. That many
of fthem are lies, is just as certain for the
same reason.
Asa newspaper, and we think it is true
with all respectable papers. we simply
want to give the news, just as it is, as
far as we are able to obtain it.
The Associated Press reports in the
daily press seem to be perfectly fair in
this, that they publish what is sent
them, but invariably state where the re.
port comes from, leaving the reader to
make his own conclusions as to the
truth. I;
This is true whether it is story Of
victory or defeat or an atrocity.
As it is to-day the intelligent reader
looks over the dispatches from all the
European capitals before he makes up
his mind as to- what is and what is
not true-and then he often has to wait
two or three days more before he is sure.
