Falsifying News

The New York American in a recent editorial
comments on misplaced censure often directed
against newspapers It shows how news sources
often are wrong, and how reporters are unable to
ascertain the correct facts. It cites the agitation
in France against General Joffre and the claims
of the French that they are repulsing the Ger
mans at Verdun, as examples. The editorial
follows:
Saturdays cable dispatches reveal the fact
that even General Joffres popularity and great
services have been SO far forgotten that for
midable movement to deprive him of command
is under way in France.
The reason for popular dissatisfaction is the
steady progress of the German attacks at Yer.
dun. This news must be an astounding surprise
to Americans who read and believe the newspa
pers which have continually asserted the German
attacks at Verdun to be failures. And here we
have curious example Of unreasonableness il
war times.
Thousands of people complain that newspa
pers lie to them, and the same people bitterly de
nounce as pro-this or pro-that the few newspa
pers which will not lie to them.
We have never been able to account for thi
Stiffness among grown men, though it certainl.
exists on all hands We should think that ever.

Smoking Themselves Out

Fathers cannot expect their boys to abstain
from the tobacco if they themselves use the
weed. The following figures given out by the
superintendent of schools of an Indiana city show
that of those who failed in their studies in the
sophomore class 100 per cent were smokers; %
per cent non-smokers. In the junior class so per
cent were smokers and % per cent abstainers
in the senior class 81 per cent were smokers
and % per cent non-smokers With one excep-
ton every boy dropped for failure in study has
been smoker.
These figures are appalling. Boys are
smoking themselves OUT as The Ohio State
Journal aptly remarks. Tobacco is affecting the
brain capacity of boys The school authorities
are powerless All they can do is advise the boys
to quit the habit. The only way to make an
effective crusade is to enlist the assistance of

argument to his son. A "smokeless" father is

man would want to know facts, no matter how
unpalatable they might be.
Take the war situation today, for example.
The facts are that the German assaults upon
Verdun have proceeded with clock-like regularl-
ty that they have been carried on by methodical
artillery pulverization of one point after another
with minimum of infantry assaults and OF
course, comparatively small losses OF men; and
that this slow, careful, engineering process has
moved steadily forward until the vital railway
lines behind Verdun, which are the real objective
are almost in the German grasp
These are plain facts, stated without the
slightest bias, as a newspaper should state them
and yet we do not doubt that, instead of being
thanked for telling facts instead of lies, man.
persons, who ought to be ashamed of such child
ish behavior will angrily denounce US as pro
German-probably as un-Ameriean.

Childhood Rhymes by an Old Man.
Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece
was white as snow, and every place
that Mary went, the poor lamb didn't

day; the kids began to shout; the
teacher got an elm club and knocked
the poor lamb out. (Turn to here to-
morrow and read the next one.)

write us a line telling us about the
time when the Rocky mountains were
not where they are? Or, excuse US,

The wind put up too good fight
for many straw hats to find their way

AUSTRIAN REVERSE
Rome Tells of Check for Dual
MOnarchy's Men in Trent Re-
giOn-UnOfficial Accounts of
Heavy BOmbardment in the
Balkans.

The battle of Verdun continues un-
abated. On both sides of the Meuse
river northeast and northwest of the
fortress, the Germans are keeping up
their unprecedented bombardments
and vicious infantry attacks while the
French are replying to the German
guns virtually shot for shot, and un-
der whitening fire holding the Ger
mans at almost every point.
One more gain, however. has been
made by the Germans. After re-
capturing Fort Douaumcat a=d saE
ing trenches south and southwest OF
the fort. the Germans to the west
have occupied section of French
trenches after series OF attacks. in
all of which they were repulsed with
heavy casualties except the one
where they penetrated the French
lines.
Around Douaumont a heavy artil-
lery duel is in progress and north
west OF Verdun the Germans have in
creased their artillery activities a.
gainst the French on Hill 304, prob
ably preparatory to another infantry
attack for possession OF this much
fought for vantage point.
A German attack against the Rus
slams west Of Palen island gave them
momentarily the possession of Rus
sian advanced trench, counter at
tack by the Russians dislodglng the
invaders.
An attempt by the Teutons to adj
vance against the Russians north OF
Olayka station, southeast of Lutsl1,
YVES repulsed by the Russians.
In the region southeast of Trent
end across the border of Italy, Rome
reports the repulse of Austrian at
tacks and the throwing back of the
attackers in disorder. In the Astico-
Posina region the Italians are reply
ing effectively to the bombardment Of
the Austrians.
In the Asgo-Sugana valley district
the situation is unchanged.
Petrograd reports n junction Of
Russian troops with the British forces |
in the region of Kut-el-Amara. The
Russians came from the region Of |
Kermanshah and Kasr-i-Shirin, in |
Persia, northeast of Bagdad. This |
announcement probably refers to the
force of Cossacks which was officially |
reported several days ago from Lon
don to have joined the British.
In connection with the fighting |
near the Persian front Constantinople |
reports that the Turks have stopped |
the advance OF the Russians in the |
region of Kasr-i-Shirin and also do |,
feated detachments at Sulamanish |
north OF Kasr-i-Shirin.
Unofficial advices from Athens say
that heavy bombardment and in \
fahtry actions have taken place from
Douran to Givegeli. on the Macedon
Ian front, and that entente allies have
dropped bombs on several towns In
Servia held by the Teutonic allies.
King George has signed the mill
