CONFESSIONS OF a WAR COR
RESPONHI.NT


One OF the most novel, and I'M
questionably one Of the most inter
esting, books about the war is Con
fessiOns Of a War Correspondent"
by William G. Shepherd. recently
published by the Harpers. not only
for the anecOotes and sidelights
thrown on the great conflict, but for
the revelation which IL will bring
10 most readers as 10 how the news
Is gathered and transmitted 10 the
outside world. The mysteries of the
censorship. the contradictory re-
ports, the strange silences that have
at times occurred on all fronts, are
explained I'm a way that will give
the reader an intelligent understand
ing OF the peculiar problems and
difficulties which confront the men
whose task IL is to watch the prog
ress of the war and tell the world of
it,
Mr.. Shepherd. as correspondent OF
the United Press association, has
seen service on every front and has
been lin the ruck Of four retreats. 3"
as he describes it He is credited
with being the only newspaper rep
resentative who witnessed the first
battle of Ypres; he was at Antwerp
at the time of the German tnva-
son, and ne sent out the news of
the city's surrender. He was accord
ed unusual courtesies on the Ger
man front, and was with the Aus
trians during the mOmentOuS days
at Przemsyl He witnessed the
dramatic Alpine warfare of the Ital-
ian armies, and shared in the mem
orable retreat from Servia. lie was
also stationed with the allied armies
at Salonici. and is now in PetrO-
grad.
Mr.. Shepherds experiences with
the military censors-British. French
German, Servian and Italian-are
too numerous TO mention. Like
most war correspondents. he start
ed out as a censor fighter. but soon
learned that that way disaster lies.
He has many interesting anecdotes
to tell of his adventures with these
watch-dogs Of the news whose blue
pencil IS mightier than the forty
two centimeter gun"
On the whole, one is inclined to
envy Mr.. Shepherd the unique op-
portunities he has had to view the

Few persons think things through.
If everybody reasoned this matter of churchgoing to
its logical conclusion there would not be many vacant
pewS and widespread demand for more churches you'd
speedily arise.
The reason is simple People do not stay away from
church because they opposed to religion to the
church Far from it. Nearly everybody believes that the
Christian church is absolutely necessary to civilization
IF IFS existence threatened the great mass OF the
people would fight for it.
But by some curious kirk in their mental processes

would quickly pass out of existence.
