Let I'm the Truth As
The Quickest Means OF
Quieting German Lies

We predict we viii hear no more OF
the stories about Camp Custer that pro-
German propagandists have been circu-
lating with the idea of carrying terror
10 the homes Of the men in training there
and interfering with draft work IN The
future
Reports have been spread that soldiers
IN Camp Custer were "shot at sunrise
FOR some military crime and the effect
Of such 3 story upon the thousands OF
homes represented there can be easily
imagined
Other reports have had the boys inn
properly fed. scantily clothed, sleeping in
ice-cold quarters, the ubjects Of cruelty
from officers nythiHg 10 cause worry
to parents 81 the lads in training.
As despicabe as any Of the false
stories circulated systematically is one
calculated to break Che morale of the men
themselves, % the effect that the Eighty
fifth is a depot division. intimating that
its members viii never see service over
seas.
Everybody at Camp Custer knows that
SERVICE is what the soldiers there want
more than anything else and this lie has
given the officers no little trouble and
concern.
That the propaganda became effective
was due to a silly censorship placed up
on the newspaper correspondents, to
which those who have been Industrious
in the campaign of untruth were able 10
point as the barrier between the facts
they have alleged and their publicity
thru the columns Of the press.
This censorship has now been lifted
and the correspondents are at liberty 70
20 where they will. look where they will,
hear what they can hear and see what
they can see and print it all unless it per-
tains to the movement of troops, military
experiments and equipments. or matters
that must be withheld for strategic rea-
sons.
This step is directly in line with what
many heads of the nations involved in the
war have maintained against a censor
ship that is so rigid as to defeat its very
purposes.
The greatest light in the world in any
cause, is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
1t is easy 10 conceive OF the things
that must be kept from the enemy, but
It is not easy to conceive of a single hap
pening that should be kept from those
at home, nor to reason any other way
than that more harm than good must
result from keeping the people in ig-
nOrance

London, July 29-J L. Garvin, in
The Observer" to-day, publishes an
interesting discussion OF the military
situation on the East and West fronts,
- well as a consideration OF what
America has brought TO the Allied
fighting strength.
As 20 the Russian dsbacie, ne says:
"We have but one question TO put
plainly to ourselves. Since the worst
may happen in Eastern Europe-sup-
pose it does happen-what then?
"The answer IS staggering out II is
sound. The other allies would stl4L
control directly or indirectly the human
and economic resources Of two-tnlrds
q the world. They would stl!l nave
yaster forces In action and reserve
than the Contra. League can ever
muster. With concentration and de-
termination the other allies could WIN
without Russia. They could win at
last If they had no other weapons lett
but the maritime veto and complete
economic boycott"
Power of L. 5. in Alliance
Gervin considers that America al
ready has given evidence OF her as
,.s.ance which more than Offsets the

German Critics Believe
Russia Out, but Foresee
Severe Test in West

Amsterdam, July 29.-Events on the
Russian front claim prominent head
lines in the German newspapers, where
they overshadow everything else, indi-
eating that all eyes are straining
terselv Eastward. although the mill
tgrv reviews are, not without occa-
sfonal half anxious glances at Flan-
9ers. where the increasing thunder Of
the British guns has not gone unheard.
Colonel Richard Gaedke concludes
his article n the "EOrwar1s" on the
German successes in the East as fol-
lows:
For all that we must reckon with
The fact that heavy days may still
await rs in the West and that German
leadership will have also considered
that when resolved on an advance in
East Galicia; but nothing ventured
nothing won, and war in its last resort
ever remains game Of luc-'
Major MOraht, in the "Tageszelt-
ung." emphasizes the fact that the
army command dared 20 utilize forces
requisite for great operations in the
Fast simultaneously with a threaten
ing heavy British attack in the West,
and says that this shows the measure
of rower and superiority which went
without effect on the angry tongues
on The northern frontiers and the
faiu+-hear-ed al home.
Continuing, Major Moraht says:
"Wirhout its monarchy democratic and
revo.utionized Russia has lost all firm
ness. II we understand how to utilize
Russia's political position and decay
we may harvest what brings peace
