Suppress Story That
Shows Human Feeling

Cultivating prejudice I'm
this way Is just a part of the
fighting, ono of the weapons
as much as are rifles aud A.
centimeter guns. The harm
that 1t does lasts longer; for
the next hundred years, the
HATE thus engendered will
curse the world.
Everybody contributes to this
meanness. l asked a correspond
ent near the fighting at Goritz
why he embellished his facts
with such extravagant deductions.
He replied, II am a special cor
respondent. They want it on my
paper"
/ asked one OF them why
he did not report "A story he
told me of an English lord
and a German officer having
lunch together in the Eng
fish trenches on Christmas
day year ago. He replied
that his people didn't want
such things to be printed.
That is the way of It; little
touch of the human feeling and
decency that is SO badly needed
on the mad continent is carefully
covered up, and everybody that
breeds hate is blazoned to. the
world. They don't stop with facts
there are enough brutal facts.
BUT THEY INVENT OR TWIST
ANYTHING THEY CAN THAT
WILL STIR MEN TO KILL ONE

was listening to a recital by
an old woman, proprietress of a
cafe in little French village. of
the brutality of the invading
troops, when in came an old man
who confirmed it all as an eye
witness.
The woman finished her story
with the exclamation Sales
Boches!" (French slang for
dirty Germans") when the old
fellow protested, "Oh, but 1t was
our boys that did it,"
She angrily replied, well. our

Lying the Great
AtrocitV of This War!

l also told my little audience
Of another friend, representing a
London newspaper, who had been
sent by that journal among the
Belgian refugees at the beginning
of the war for the express pur-
pose of CONFIRMING atrocities.
He had been unable to find one,
and had been quietly recalled by
the paper.
The dramatic Belgian's jaw
dropped as l told this, and when
as gently as possible asked him
whether he hadn't read that story
somewhere instead of having
really seen 1t, he didn't answer.
just as an English soldier
told me, the Turks were aw-
full fiends I'm Armenia where
he had never been, though
all he had seen and fought
I'm Gallipoli were decent fell
lows. And wounded Ger
mans, recuperating I'm Swift
zerland, told me almost word
for word the same hackneycd
stories of the French that
tho French had told me Of
them.
Yet, the average, little any
thing-to-succeed war corresponds
ent will sit in his office and coolr
ly sell such stories as the truth,
putting in the greatest possible
bias, just to get the cable offic-
ials to send his stuff" few
hours ahead of his rivals, there

list. ~
1t is meaner and wreaks more
havoc than anything that drunk
en- soldiers will do.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, d. c., April z9.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance
to cross continent May | to s. warm
wave April 30 to May 4, cool wave
May 3 to Z. This storm will be Of
greater intensity and more Importance
than any that will have occurred dur
ing the preceding two weeks. Its
force will increase after It passes east
of meridian 80. Rains will bee moe
more general but not excessive.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cific coast about May G, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 7, central val
leys s to 10. eastern sections II.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about May Q, central valleys 8, east
ern sections 10. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about May Q, central
valleys II, eastern section 10.
This will be a dangerous storm,
causing severe weather from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic. aims will be EN-
eral and In some places heavy. High
winds, called gales, are expected.
This storm is expected to contain q
double storm which may unite In east
ern sections and cause very dangerous
storms.
While floods are not expected the
rains will be quite general and places
that have been too dry are expected
to Get some needed moisture. A
great high temperature wave will
cross the continent, reaching nerd.
ian 80 near May 10 and a cool wave
will follow with frosts that will 60
further south than usual. crossing the
meridian 80 about May IA.
May will be a good crop weather
month on most parts Of the continent
and as good prices for farm products
are quite probable, farmers should
put forward their best energies that
month. This country will need the
millions Of money. after the Euro
pean war closes, hat will be made
out Of this years crops and probably
more than any other month OF this
year. May will need the very best
energies of our American farmers.
The old aphorism, Make money while
the sun Shines" will apply with
double force to the farmers work
i throughout the coming month. Do
your very best.
We are pleased to note that De Voc,
Caruthers and Prof. Moore are being
recognized by the newspapers in long
range weather forecasting. No fair
mind will claim that their forecasts
are without merit. We have found
merit in the long range weather fore1
casts OF Tice. Hicks. Mansill. Blake,
De Voc, CaFuthers, Bigelow, Ricard,
Porta and others and after carefully
testing each OF their systems by the
weather records, covering every
day back to 1920. we have adopted
all the good we could find in their
systems.
Our forecasts areworked out by the
simple rules of Common arithmetic.
using these weather records, matched
with the positions Of sun, moon and
major planets. Each Of the other
authors use astronomical records
only, except that Bigelow used three
! records. astronomical, weather and
, magnetic. His fatal mistake was In
using only the 27 day cycle OF the
suns rotation instead OF the planet
airy cycles.
