A 1914 Long Branch article reports President Wilson noting deliberate false reporting by both Mexican and American interests to seed trouble in Mexico. It blames long-standing falsifications, prior to Diaz’s exile, on revolts and insurrections, with American capitalists likely seeking to exploit the country.
The World argues blame for weak preparedness lies with the Republican era under McKinley Roosevelt and Taft. Spending for army and navy has risen since 1908, yet questions persist about protection and cost. The Gardner inquiry is questioned as political demagoguery rather than a sober defense audit.
A reader criticizes Secretary Daniels and the push for preparedness arguing it politicizes defense. The ban on singing "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" in naval schools is described as an absurd overreach and a mockery of neutrality.
The piece criticizes the Commission for Relief in Belgium for bias in wartime relief claims while noting photographs showing Germans feeding Belgians. It also reports BE A Winslow’s ventilation talk and experiments linking indoor warmth to lower work performance, plus a history of David Lamar known as the Wolf of Wall Street and his descent from Wall Street power to lobbying and impersonation cases. Warren County farmers forecast a mild open winter.
The piece cites a moon age based prophecy and mocks a Lord Kuchner interview quoted by the British Press Bureau. It notes Irvin S. Cobb defends truth against a bureau concealment claim and mentions a dying clairvoyant admitting $36,000 earned in three months.
A collection of editorial snippets critiques politics and war coverage. It recalls British and American wartime attitudes, neutrality in naval tolls, and Sir Walter Scott's views on truthfulness amid deceit in society.
The Camden Post Telegram notes a fanciful tale of a pirate rumor off a lonely coast and a British warship pursues a false report that leads to a young officer's dismissal. It critiques how some seek notoriety by falsehoods and vanity, while most scorn such deceit.
The piece compiles daily sensational wartime magazine headlines about German and Allied moves in France around Verdun. It ends with Roy K Moulton's note that Sunday papers scramble events and readers guess where victory lies.
At Sebastopol during a siege Captain Samoiloff orders a reluctant recruit to fetch wine. Amid French artillery he forces the man to drill on a ram part while bullets rain. A bullet wounds the captain but he continues until the lesson ends and seeks medical aid. The French stop firing, astonished by their display of nerve.
A humorous anecdote features Thiers meeting a sentry in Marseilles who snacks on bread and cheese. He jokes about being more than minister of war, then declares he is Papa Thiers as the guard salutes. The piece contrasts such whimsy with a reflection on people clinging to the past and missing life’s daily wonders.
The notice notes counterfeit goods harm buyers and urges readers to get what they ask for. Michele Florentino opens a butcher shop at 565 Overton and Summer, Tel 763-J, with an advertisement.
