had, yet we'll not forget it. I'll tell
what happened.
We looked forward to almost nothing
for the Fourth, for we were to move
TO our new quarters the day follow

Germ was getting the supplies ready
that we need in fixing up the hut. That
took all morning. and the Fourth was
much the same as any other, except
for the French flags that were every
where with the Stars and Stripes. The
natives everywhere put up every nag
they could lay hands on.
AZ noon we were told to be ready in
an hour to go out and see the new
quarters. We were rushed toward the
front behind camouflaged roads in
fast military automobile. and as we
turned into the town where we were

French TOTS Give Flowers TO Yanks

, erty as he called it, The Americans
were much impressed. Then the band
played more patriotic pieces, and every
body thought the program was over,
even the General.
But he, like the rest Of us. was
wrong. As soon as the band finished
a string Of tiny French tots, little girls.
all dressed in their Sunday bests, came
up on the platform, laden down with
flowers. The FIRST little girl presented
her bouquet to the General. who lifted
her gently up and kissed her on the
cheek
Then the next tot presented her
flowers 10 another officer, who did like
wise. All the babies presented their
flowers. and went down the steps as
pleased as could be. The Americans
were delighted with the unexpected
turn to the program.
The townspeople had decided 10 show
their appreciation to the Americans I'm
some way and chose this appropriate
plan. The scene was made doubly
charming by the booming Of the guns
not in the distance, but comparatively
close to the scene where the exercises
took place.
The fireworks were the real thing
where we celebrated this year. and
they meant more than noise or lights

women living in the cities nearby are
up in arms because of waste and the
class of food served. He says this
particular story Is fair sample of
the news this paper prints weekly, in
a community of German folk.
ct is not denied by Washington
that German prisoners In America
are well fed. The are. But there
is no waste, and the women living
near the camps are not UP in arms
because of either the food served or
the waste which the Benton paper
says is SO apparent.)
Lie No. 59-Propagandists are
circulating a story that boys in the
cantoments are not permitted to see
home newspapers. so they cannot tell
what Is going on in their home
towns or in the world in general.
(Quite naturally, there is no truth
in this story. The Republic is able
to nail this lie. This paper circulates
freely In cantOnmcnts and at train
ing camps.)
Lie No. 6O-This story was freely
|circulated last week: That men at
Camp Funston are 80. poorly cared
for and are so respondent because of
their unwillingness to serve in the
army that they end their lives by
throwing themselves under trains.
(This is so plainly lie that denial
is not necessary. However, soldiers
on permission In st. Louis say their
fare is excellent and their treatment
also. No deaths can occur in the
camps, without the news becoming
known Immediately. Newspaper
at the camps do not
report any such loss of life.
Lie No. 61-Mrs. 8. of Farming
ton. Mo-, says that It Is common COS
sip in that section that half of all the
funds pledged to the Red Cross In
America will be given by the Govern
ment to the Catholics.
(The Government isn't Interested

(Of course there IL NO truth In
either report. II ID pro-Cerman sem
| timent seeking to discount war prep
larations In America which is respon-
sible for this sort of thing.)
Lie No. 63--Here IL one Of the
worst lies yet brought to the atten-
ton of The Republic: That German
spies In the government printing
office have injected bacteria of Cne
form or another into the Liberty
Bonds. which in the course Of few
months leaves them dirty gray piece

slightest touch. Because OF this lie,

(This is not q difficult story to an
swer, but the answer must not be
misconstrued. Soldiers are not per-
mitted to wear mended socks while
they are on an active tour of duty.
1t is readily understood that no man
could hike any distance at all were
he wearing mended socks. However,
soldiers who receive socks from the
Red Cross nurse them tenderly and
make them last as long as they will
possibly hold together. Never fear,
Shelbina, that American soldiers
waste anything given them.)
Lie No. 54.-B. Schwartz. 1890
North Newstead avenue, says he over
heard a conversation the other day
in which It was stated as fact that
an American transport had been sunk
and. that the mother of soldier a
board wrote Secretary Baker and
asked for Information. that Secretary
Baker replied: Don't worry; your
son is lying safely at the bottom Of
the sea-" ut is understood at once
what the effect of such a story would
be ON q mothers mind-a mother
whose son Is overseas or Is about to
go. But there is no truth In the story
at all. Secretary Baker is human, and
would not reply to letter in such
flippant manner. Relatives of all men
who lose their lives in the service are
Immediately notified. No effort at
secrecy in case of this kind.)
Lie No. 55.-From a St.Louis SOU
rec comes this one: That German
doctor in the United States Army at
Camp Bowie, Tex, used spinal mem
ingitis serum instead of typhoid se-
rum, sending 1.400 men to the hos
pital, and that he was shot for 1t the
latter part of last week.
(Col. F. p. Reynolds, Surgeon Cen
erals Office, Washington. D. c.. had
this to say of the report: 1T Is most
absurd and one of the widest stories

sent yesterday, as the biggest lie Of
them all": That drafted soldiers at

training because they would rebel and

dictory. II drafted men will rebel In

that President Wilson would seize all
hogs In the country, even those
which farmers raise to kill for home
consumption.
(By Eo means is there any truth
In the report. 1t IL pure German pro-
paganda, nothing more.)

or sends The Republic clipping
from his home paper, which. under
glaring headlines, devotes half col
umn to story to the effect that Ger
man prisoners are SO well fed that

spiea in the plant. Neither will the
bonds fade and crumble away after

patriot. advances the Information
that letter carrier. talking in
downtown restaurant the other day,
declared 5000 United States soldiers
had already been killed In France
and that q soldier at Jefferson Bar

which the Government withholds.
! (Of course, the letter carrier was
retailing some more bunk" There
has been no such casualty list In
France. and soldiers at Jefferson Bar
racks know less Of what is going on
In the army than many civilians. Just
propaganda, that's all.)
Lie No. 65---A man wants to know
II Il II true "that two soldiers were
frozen to death In trench at Fort
Sill and that the nation is losing
from 80 to 40 men day In France.
Of which no information reaches the
newspapers.

public as quickly as It Is sent the
mans parents. No effort is being
made to suppress this sort Of infor-
nation. The censor holds up news

Nothing else.)
Lie No. 66--Another reader wants
to know IL II Is true that men are re-
fusing to enlist in the regular army
and are offering themselves for othel
branches because they have been told
they will not see service in France Il
they go in aa engineers, signal corps

overseas sooner or later. Enlistment
in the regular army are not falling

Lie No. 6s--Malden, No, reports
pro- Germans are circulating stories
there concerning the health and NOR
ais OF nurses employed in Red Cross
work, both In the United States and
overseas. This person said he was
told recently In st. Louis that 500
nurses In America alone are now III
in hospitals.
1T is questionable whether such q
lie was ever told In st. Louis. II is
the first time II has been brought to
the attention OF The Republic. At
any rate. while some nurses may be
ill--and who doesn't get sick now
and then there are not 500 Of
them In all the hospitals In the United
States. The morals of women en-
ployed in Red Cross hospital work
are above reproach.)
Lie No. GA story recently orr
ginated In Germany to the effect that
woman spy has been executed In,
the United States. Its widespread
use Is nothing but propaganda.

loss OF life. 1t was said that two
transports, bearing 1900 men and
the superdreadnaught Texas, had
been sunk, and that the American
Government was suppressing the
news.
(The Government at Washington
announced last night that the source
of this lie. termed propaganda, had
been unearthed in Guadlajara, Mexi-
CO, where II was printed In Spanish

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
GERMAN LIES

J Lie No. A.. Dr. Charles Reilly,
oculist, 615 Locust street, says he
has been informed West Point officers
refuse to recognize by salutation Of
ficers in the new national army.
(This Is an unmitigated lie, as
newspaper reports, photographs and
interviews coming from all points in
the United States have shown how
appreciative the West Point men are
of the great patriotism displayed by
their brother officers In the national
army)
Lie No. 4S. Pro-German prapa-
gandists are spreading reports that
thousands Of drafted men are. de-
serting from the national army can
tonments; that hundreds already
have been shot.
(Army officers and newspaper cor
respondents, always on hand at the
various cantonments, say the spirit
of patriotism is SO high and the men

sleepy
Lie No. 40. Reports are being cir
culated that men who enlisted in the
ravy before December Is, 1917, are
to be grabbed for the army, as the
navy now is full.
Washington has issued an Official
order allowing drafted men to enlist
in the navy up to December 15.)
Lie No. so. Among the absurd
yumors Is one that the United States
ptproposes to conflscate money ON de-
posit In banks.
(The absurdity Of this statement is
obyious on its face. This rumor Is
wholly without foundation. and prob
ably circulated for. an evil purpose.
Secretary McAdoo has issued state
ment that the government has no
power to confiscate the money OF de-
positors in banks.D
Lie No. 81. From q. L., q st..
/ Louisian, comes word that he was
listening to a conversation the other
day, when someone remarked: You
never hear OF Morgan or Schwab any
more because they were killed three
months ago."
Morgan and schwab are still
transacting business at the old
stand.)
Lie No. 81. A reader at Chris
topher, ILL.,, tells the Republic that
II is q common story thereabouts
that money contributed to the Y. M.
C. A. is not used for the benefit OF
soldiers, but IL turned into fund
for the suppression Of liquor making
and saloons.
(There is no truth in the story.
