Just because your own ideals may

The worst punishment in this world

when the subject knows that
the world is looking on while conscience
applies the lash.
Some men are too independent and
stuffed up with pride to have it said
that they are tied t0 a wife's apron
strings; and yet they are tied hard
and fast to things that would put a
dog to shame if the ties wore hut

I The smartest discovery ever made

it was generally understood. Therefore
no matter how great your dis

naturally expect.

Up to about two months ago Germany

local cooperation, will result in tick
eradication from Texas and the freeing,
thcrfore, of all United States
territory from the pest.
As a result of extermination of thi
cattle tick from approximately 285,000
square miles in the 10 years dur- j
ing which the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the States have been
actively engaged in the work, the
cattle industry, according to the Bureau
of Animal Industry, in the South
has improved from 50 to 100 per
cent. Native beef cattle, freed from
attacks of the ticks, have put on more
flesh, native dairy cows are giving
more milk; and, because danger of
disease largely has been eliminated, I
cattle of better breeds have been
brought into improve the native |
stock. The South has made great I
er progress in developing the cattle;
industry in the last 5 years than in
the preceding 50 years, and there has
been more progress in the industry!
in the South in that period than in
any other section.
The States and counties, railways'
and other corporations, and business
men of the South have been active in
emphasizing the great importance of I
tick eradication and in spreading in-'
tercst and information among farmers
and cattlemen. As a result of tin
operation of all these forces, the wori,
of tick eradication practically has,
been half completed.
On July 1, 1910, there had been
freed from ticks 284,521 square
miles of the original quarantined
area of 728,545 square miles. It is
| estimated that by next December
160,000 additional square miles will be
freed, bringing the total tick-free
i territory to 344,521 square miles.

THE HOKRY H3
EARLY WAR FAKES
COVERED TRUTH
Majority of Claims Made Now
Known to Have Been
False
The censor is to be blamed, no
doubt, when the greatest cataclysm
broke out the censor stepped in and
said, "You must not tell the truth."
Had the truth been available there
would have been no need to lie writes
G. V. S. in The Philadelphia Evening
Ledger. What actually took place in
the first days of the great war was
too terrible, too wonderful to need
embellishment. But the truth "Verboten"
by a system more autocratic
than that of the militarist, the fakes
began to come.
With the truth or falsehood of the
causes of the war and of the astrocitics
which did or did not accompany
tho opening months, this article has
nothing to do. The simple reason is
that the truth is still not known: But
other things which were not known in
August and September of 1914 arc
clear now. Ar.d what the world
thought and believed then is funny
today. It ought to bo a warning tc
military experts. It probably will bo
nothing of the sort.
First there was the heroic resistance
of Belgium. Of its heroism there
is no doubt. It is not the sort of
thing about which those who sit in
easy chairs and know not the smell of
burning households nor the sight of
stricken men and women are privileged
to jest. But its effectiveness
was woefully overrated, and military
experts, with this or that qualification
to give them authority, spoke of
the 10-day battle for the fortress of
Liege, which was lying devastated
far behind the German advance when
those very words were written. "Belgium
has saved France" was a watch j
word precisely at the time when
Fiance retreating, carefully but inevitably,
far in her own land.
The river Sambre in Belgium and ,
the River Somme, in France, sounded!
sufficiently alike to be confused, For!
many days the French war reports
spoke briefly of fighting on the Sambre.
Suddenly the name Somme was
substituted and the terrified world
realized that Germany had thrown
her armies into the heart of France
while they were supposed to be in
Belgium.
Then came the greatest day of all.
Simeon Strunsky has referred to it as
that gloriouss afternoon, "seven columns
wide," when Von Kluck apologized
to Jolfre, begged to be allowed!
to retreat safe to Germany under
promise never to invade France
again. The head-writer on a New
V* 1. A- ? 111 , 1 I
i ui k jjtijjfi" musk nave cnoiteu wiin
emotion when he wrote those sevencalumn
lines. He must have choked
with a different emotion when the
news came that Von Kluck, though
thrown back, had djoined the other
German armies on the Aisne.
Five days after the war broke out
there occurred the greatest naval battle
of all history. A generous correspondent
gave Germany 19 dreadnoughts,
and then, wtih little care of
the consequences, with no attention
even to the amount of white space
which would be wasted on it, sank
every single one of them.
And then the most momentous fake
of all, a fake which like some others
merely anticipated the truth. That is
the Russians who passed through
| Scotland to join their allies on the
! western front. The amount of "eyej
witness stuff" which came to this
country on this incredible story is
astonishing. Scots in the highlands or
thereabouts and fishermen on the
Uroton coast saw the Cossacks. Observers
near London saw the closed
I ears which bore them. In France
i there were those who spoke with
I them and received a reply in a barbaric
language. And by all that is
j singular, in spit of all those accounts
V
the Russians never got there. It was
an outrage against the credibility and
honor of the universe, but it coudn't
be helped. More than a year later
troops landed in thousands, and with
pomp and circumstance, at Marsieli
les.
The first French soldier killed in
the war was named Peugeot. The
report came over that the great aviator
of the same name had fallen. Re.
fore the war was well started Garros
had engaged two Zeppelins and
brought them down. Garros himself
laughed at the story in his apartment
in Paris. Fritz Kreislcr was killed
before he was wounded. Max Under
read the report of his own death in
V ,
BRA LP, OONWAY, 8. O.
I\iris. The Crown Prince was killed
17 times. The Kaiser appeared incognito
in Paris. The Kaiser ordered
his dinner simultaneously in Warsaw
and in Paris and in Calais. Von
Kiuck committed suicide. A French
general was shot as a traitor until
JoiTrc told exactly with what regi1
ment he was stationed.
Among the fakes which were not
fakes should be mentioned some of
the newspaper stories. The great
taxicab army of Gallieni was not 30,000
strong, but probably 8,000 for
there were only 2,000 chaffeurs left
in Paris when Manoury was in need
of men. That was exaggeration. It
also came true in the motor defense
of Verdun a year and more later. And
the famous story of the battle of
"!> pros, which endeared America to
1 England because an American wrot3
It and gave much?far too much?
credit to the Englishmen, was written
for information gained in London
bars. But it did not purport to be
j an eye witness account ar.d its spirit
I is not all facts, was true. The niilitary
strategy exposed for daily reading
in American papers was not faking.
Every word of it was reasoning
from premises which no one could
guarantee. Even today, when we arc
probably in the midst of the great
i allied drive, we cannot speculate on it
without reservations. For it may bo j
| that our reports are not so trustworthy
as they seem. They may bo
as wild and fantastic as the greatest
| story of all in the eaily days of the
war?The Angels of Mons. That is
good enough to warrant special attention.
We didn't believe those things even
when wo read them, but wo liked t
read them. Behind thc.n was a tragedy
we could not fathom, a misery wo
| could not bear to think on st ?add ly
We sheltered our souls behind smaller
things; they were trenches of frivol1
ity thrown up where there should
have been a fortress of faith. In the
end the trenches proved the stronger
defense, for we have not all gone
mad. Wre have been saved from madness
by humor.
