R E.' HARNESs""1,
Roseburg - Oregon
New York, and Judge Mayer declar
ed In bis findings that it had been
proven beyond all doubt that the
laisitanla was not armed and never
had been armed, and carried no ex
plosives on the voyage on which she
was torpedoed and Bunk.
The recent reverses ' in Franco
seem to have affected the workman
ship of the Inventors of anti-American
pro-German slanders. Many of
their falsehoods are too ridtlculous to
be worth "contradicting. In Minne
sota, they are passing around word
that any woman who marries a U. S.
soldier will bo :put In prison by the
government. In Kansas, farmerB are
being told that "everyone who has
more than a bushel of potatoes on the
first of September will have to give
them to the Red Cross or to the gov
ernment officials." Santa Rosa, Cal.,
hears that "numerous highly paid
government clerks and employees of
the ' protestant faith have been re
moved in order that their posltlono
might be taken by Catholics." Hunt
ington, Ind., has had the story that
at Camp Shelby "they are importaing
negro girls of thirteen and fourteen
years oldV for the troops a slander
which the Huntington Herald
promptly Investigated and disproved.
Other localities rornort similar short
term lies, so soon discounted or so
easily disproved that it would seem
the originators of them are losing
their cunning.
A hotel guest nt Asbury.Park, N
J., has heard the following story from
a chance acquaintance, who declar
ed he had been told it by an eye
witness:. "While travelling on a ferry from
New York City, bo noticed a young
man and woman standing at one end
of the boat. ' The woman was wrap
ped In a large blue cloak. At Inter
vals, the man would take out his
handlkerchlef and wipe the Hps of the
woman, who seemed to be dribbling
at the mouth. The people begnn to
gather around the couple, and the
man, becoming humiliated drew the
cloak from the woman, who turned
out to be armless and whose tongue
had been cut out. Later it develop
ed that the young woman was lust re
turning from France where she had
been on duty as a Red Cross nurse."
Stories of this sort have been put
In circulation in all parts of the coun
try since the call went out for Red
Cross volunteers for service In
France. All the stories that were
precise enough to be Investigated
have been found to be false. No
mutilated American nurse has been
returned to this country and nono has
been retportedl In France. The re
ports seem obviously designed to dis
courage nurses from volunteering.
The correspondent who reports the
picturesque He from Asbury Park un
fortunately did not ask the name of
his "chance- acquaintance" or Inn
quire who was the "eye witness" who
had vouched . for the yarn. Loval
citizens are asked to obtain correct
names and addresses in all such
cases and send the Information to the
department ot justice, Washington,
D. C.
In parts of the south, a very cir
cumstantial account is being report
ed of how Madame Schuniann-IIeink,
arrested as a German spy, had com
mitted suicide. Many inquiries as
to the truth of the report have como
to the committee on public informa
tion. There is, of course, no truth
whatever in it. Madame Schumnnn
Heink has been aggressive in her
loyal Americanism, and the kaiserltes
are apparently attempting to dis
credit her by circulating this slnn
der, out of revenge. They spread it
in the south, because she has been
publicly active in support of war
charities, etc., flurther north, and any
report of her suicide would be some
what discredited by her subsequent
appearance on tlie concert stage.
