The Truth about Atrocities.
American Correspondent Brands AtrOciy Stories
As Downright Lies,

the takers were lying shame.
lessly to the American public
about battles they had never
seen, battles that had never oc-
cured, about deeds that they
had never performed.
Their fakery, in the main,
was not injurious, but there
have been instances where their
work has produced serious re-
subsequently, in their reports

Shepherd, when the first afro

and | spent much time among
Belgian refugees. / offered

Belgian atrocity story; and
when I ran down the second

truth, when / say that the first
Belgian atrocity stories to reach
the United States from Belgium
were those of certain CORE
spondents whose. regulations
among American newspaper
men are those of archfakers,
and who, since the carly days
in Belgium, have lied about so
many other things that they
have since become discredited
in newspaper circles.

ut is too much to expect that
nations at war will limit them
selves TO the exact truth" says
the N. Y. Staatszeitung in re-
ference to Mr.. Shepherds state
ment, "but it is not too much
to expect, that the American
public will cease to believe ma.

In view of the fact that our
papers are again filled with Ger.
man atrocity stories the frank
admission of a we'll known
American correspondent that
such stories are mostly freely
invented by irresponsible per.
sons should be of great interest
to all those who wish to know
the real facts.
Writing in the March number
Of Everybody's Magazine, Mr..
William G. Shepherd, a most
respected American correspond
ent, gives a frank and interest
ing account Of the methods,
employed in the manufacture OF
atrocity fakes. The article is
we'll worth reading. 1t not only
throws an important light on
the difficulties experienced by
the correspondents in 1914 and
1915, but it should make us
chary Of believing in the 1917
crop Of falsehoods now being
cultivated. Some OF the signi-
dcant statements made by Mr..
Shepherd follow.
THE first stage (of the cor
respondents experiences in the
war; may be known as the free
lance days. The public, news
rungry, was often misled in
that period. In the mass OF
var news, no small amount OF
lake and lies was fed to it by
anscrupulous adventures who
were not trained correspondents
and who had no reputation for
feracity to sustain"
THE harum-scarumness of
those early f~ree-lance days is
almost unbelievable, as one
fooks back on it now. Every
word that a correspondent wrote
Tor the news-hungry public was
pure gold. Never, in the modern
world, did news count for so
much in the lives of so many
millions of people as it did dur.
Ing those first months Of the
Great War. Not a word that
correspondent wrote in those
laws was overlooked by the
1ews-seeking millions. News,
les, local color, human interest
.akes, all went down the great
public gullet in Gargantuan
gulps.
Because the war began in
Belgium the experiences Of the
var correspondent began there
llso. The first real war news
and the first real war fakes
:ame from there"
Adventures rushed from the
United States at the outbreak
If war, usually travelling on
heir own money, carrying
credentials from some news
paper that was only too glad to
rave a correspondent in Europe
At no expense to itself. With
such credentials these same adj
genturers saved themselves from
capture now and then. and be-
tween times made themselves
heroes at home by taking sto-
les Of their own valiant deeds
and great dangers.
The American public read a
mass Of rot in those days in
its daily allotment of war news
It did not know the difference
between the truth and the lie
neither did the editors. While
the scandal of taking was hot
among US, and while we were
bandying about the legend
War is the takers opportunity

The Bishops Rino,

Bishop Russell Wakefield Of Blr-
mingham, has a ring with curious
history. 1t Is reminder Of the war.
and Of the wanton destruction Of the
beautiful cathedral Of Rems. Some
months ago he was allowed to visit
the cathedral shortly after bombard-
ment. Colored glass from the famous
windows and broken fragments Of the
rlchly-ornate stonework lay among the
debris. The bishop picked up some
scraps of stained glass, Of pure ruby
and sapphire color, and he has had
small portions mounted in a new epls-
copal finger ring. He regards 1t as one

Of the camp. He watered the ashes of
the fire, gathered up the telltale scraps
Of paper and fragments of food, and
then when the place suited him fell to
examining his rifle.
Alaire watched him with interest.
"Where shall I CO." she asked, "and
what shall I do?"
"You just pick out a good cover be-
yond the water hole and stay there.
ma'am. 1t may be a long wait, Tor
something may have happened. If so,
we'll have to lie close. And don't wor-
ry yourself none, ma'am; he won't
make no trouble"
With the sunset the water hole lay
sleeping.
Alaire's retreat was far from COM
Portable; there was an ants nest some
where near her and she thought Of
moving; but suddenly her breath
caught and her heart jumped uncon-
trollably. She crouched lower, for d.
rectly opposite her position, and out
lined against the sky where the sharp
ridge cut it, was the figure Of q
mounted man. She was conscious that
keen and hostile pair Of eyes was
searching the coverts surrounding the
charco.
Then, as silently as it had appeared,
the apparition vanished beyond the
ridge. Alaire lay close, as she had
been directed, praying that the horse
man had been warned; but shortly she
heard again the rustic Of stiff
branches, and out into the opening rode
a Mexican. He was astride wiry
gray pony, and in the strong twilight
Alaire could see his every feature-the
swarthy cheeks, the rowing eyes be
meath the black felt hat. A carbint
lay across his saddle horn, a laria
was coiled beside his leg, cartridge

What Happened at the Water Hole

What Happened at the Water Hole.
The newcomers exchanged q word
or two in Spanish, then the second
rider flung himself from his saddle and
made for the water. He was lying
prone and drinking deeply when out of
nowhere came q sharp command.
"Oiga! Hands up, both of you"
The first arrival jumped as if a rat
tlesnake had buzzed at his back, the
second leaped to his feet with an oath,
"Drop your gun. companero
Both Mexicans cried, as if at cue,

ment of Agricultural
Cowpeas are grown more widely III
the cotton region thnn any other
leguminous crop. They are fairly well
adapted to all types Of soil, when well
drained, and they make good crop
for either hay or pasture. CoWpeas
are easily grown, and the seed Is rel
atively inexpensive. They may be used
to occupy the ground as regular crop
but are also we'll adapted rs n eaten
crop for pasturage or for green ma
nure. When well cultivated, they leave
the soil In good condition to harrow
without plowing for grain or other
crops.
There are many varieties OF cow
peas, which vary considerably In hnD-
| It's of growth and time of ripcning
The Whippoorwill and the Croft are
vigorous, upright growers and there
fore well adapted for heavy yields OF
hay. Trailing varieties, like the Black,
the Red Ripper, or the Unknown, are
good for pasture and to leave on the
ground during the winter for SOIL en-
richment. Under each Of these three
names. however. various different VA
rieties occur in the seed trade. The
Iron and the Brabham are noted for
their resistance to wilt and root knot
diseases which frequently occur, ana
| A. u ,l a h.. Ntfhnrn these
pests are prevalent.
Cowpeas may be sown In rows or
broadcast. The former method per
mits of cultivation, requires less seed
and usually gives better yields, while
the latter way requires less labor
When sown In rows they should be
from three to four feet apart, ana from
two to three pecks Of seed per acre
should be used Sorghum or corn Is
sometimes sown with cowpeas to be
used for hay or slage The cowpeas
are held off the ground In this way
and the stalks keep the cut cowpeas
loose, so that air Is admitted more
readily and the hay Is easily cured.
Curing cowpeas hay during rainy
season Is difficult, and for this reason
; planting should be done Mt such times
that the cowpeas will be ready to eat
during the dry weather which Is com
mon In September and October In mos'
parts of the South. The hay shOult

something familiar about the fellow,
but at the moment Alaire could not
determine what 1t was.
After one swift, appraising glance
the newcomer rode straight to the
verge of the water hole and dismount-
ed; then he and his morse drank side
by side.
1t was the moment for complete
and effective surprise, but nothing
happened. Why didn't Law act? Alaire
bent low, straining eyes and ears, but
no command came from the Ranger.
Then, as If in answer to her perplex-
ity, second horseman appeared, and
