First draughtsman of the Tribune then as now was John Tinney McCutcheon. Fortnight ago the Tribune again raided the Tennessean for an artist.

...distributed propaganda material broadcast to U. S. libraries, educational institutions and periodicals; "was particularly careful to arrange for lectures, letters and articles by pro-Ally Americans rather than by Englishmen." German-atrocity stories spread like tares. A group of U. S. war correspondents (Harry Hansen. Irvin Cobb, John T. McCutcheon et al.) who had been caught by the German advance in Belgium and went on with the German armies sent a combined cable to the Associated Press. ("In spirit fairness we unite in declaring German atrocities groundless . . . unable report single instance unprovoked reprisal . . . investigated rumors proved groundless ... to truth these...
