Harrisburg Telegraph Sep 5 1914 Map of Paris Forts

Harrisburg Telegraph #OTD Sep 5 1914 As the Imperial German Army nears Paris Harrisburg Telegraph publishes a map showing the fortifications of France's capital city #WW1 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85038411/1914-09-05/ed-1/seq-1/

"The indications given in the communiques that the German forces appear to be leaving Paris are much discussed in Sunday's papers. The Matin says:
"It is incontestable that the Germans are leaving Paris. Is it a feint?
Lieut-Col. Rousset, writing in the Petit Parisien, admits that it is impossible to deduce from the scanty information issued more than that the Germans seem temporarily to have abandoned a direct attack on Parts and suggests that they are faithful to their system
of intimidation, the enemy seeking to occupy more French territory, hoping thereby to paralyze resistance as in 1870.
"But the position is not the same." Lieut.-Col. Rousset continues. "France, properly speaking, was without an army when the Prussians reached Paris then, while now several hundreds of thou- sands hold the field under a prudent and resolute chief."
The Journal des Debats says:
"The declaration of the allies is of capital importance, although announcing nothing new. The convention is the first pact which publicly seals the Triple Entente. During the time English opin-

twenty miles east of Paris, and they have advanced to the river Ourcq, another tributary of the Marne, which is about thirty miles to the east of Paris.
The reason of the puzzling turning movement of the German forces around Paris becomes more apparent when taken in connection with the operation along the French right. The importance placed upon the advance to Nancy is shown in the fact that the Kaiser himself is conducting the attack on the forts of that city. The Crown Prince's army has forced the allies to retreat between Paris and Verdun.
The Germans, this would seem to indicate, are endeavoring to drive the French right flank back from the Verdun-Nancy line toward Paris and against the German army that passed to the north of the outlying forts, and is now operating to the east and southeast of the capital."

It’s called “Watch Your Language” by Theodore Bernstein he was an assistant managing editor of the New York Times. I’m assuming there’s a reason he wasn’t any higher up.. like his Bay of Pigs column. It seems he spent a lot of time teaching others how to slip by the censors they were subjected to.

Bernstein obtained his B.A. from Columbia University in 1924. Among many other responsibilities in the 1950s and 1960s, it fell to Bernstein and his colleague, Lewis Jordan, to make up the next day's front page of the Times. His colleagues often saved his drafts on particularly newsworthy days. During the run-up to the Bay of Pigs Invasion fiasco in 1961, the two settled on a four-column lead headline that put the invasion into dramatic perspective.
However, under pressure from President John F. Kennedy, publisher Orvil Dryfoos ordered that the story be toned down, and the headline reduced to one column. Bernstein and Jordan were both infuriated, even after Dryfoos personally explained his decision to them. The story is told in detail in Without Fear or Favor by former Times editor Harrison Salisbury.

New-York Tribune #OTD Jan 29 1915 publish this photo of a staged German infantry attack, captured by Albert K. Dawson. Part of a film clip shown here: shootingthegreatwar.blogspot.com/2016/01/fake... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JfE...

"This picture, of a charge by German infantry upon a village in the war zone in Western Europe, arrived in this country yesterday. It was taken by a motion picture operator, employed by the German government, at the risk of his life, for circulation throughout the empire and elsewhere, to show the prowess of the Kaiser's troops. The Germans are shown driving French troops out of their positions. The location is not disclosed, but the country resembles Alsace, and it is probable that the picture was taken in the fierce fighting in Upper Alsace, where the French are attempting an invasion of the Lost Provinces."

Hamm went free b/c the jury, after considering how "lively" drinkers were and how crooked they walked, waffled on whether lager beer made a person drunk.
