Phil May q Great Artist.
Literary Collector,

American artists in black and white. as
we'll as American publicists generally,
would do we'll to consider the greatness
achieved by Phil May. 1t is the Du Maurier
phantom that American line work is pur-
suing, unfortunately. and as a result We
have a host Of illustrators who can do the
pretty-pretty better than any other artists
in the world, but whose pretty-prettiness
amounts. artistically. to just so much piffie
All these gorgeously arrayed young men
and maidens that are constantly being
drawn by American artists in line. what
are they but so many dummies? We all
know that the fashions change; these
drawings tell us nothing more new or more
original than that These drawings are for
tailors. not for one human being that is
interested about another human being
There Is not to-day one single American
black and-white artist that can be named
in the same breath with Phil May. England
has Raven-Hiil, who has much in common
with May. differing I'm manner more than
in matter: Germany has Hamburger, to
Steinlen; America has-whom?

WAR OFFICE NEWS.
A Foolish and Unnecesssry Rule Made
by Department.
Chicago Post.

1t appears that our new general stan has
decided to adopt European methods with
regard to the publication OF military news.
No information is to be given out by any
staff officer TO the press. and the reporters
will have 10 obtain whatever news the War
Office may choose TO give out from the
secretary OF the general stan, Colonel
Greene
This rule is being criticised as needless;y
rigid, despotic and extreme Even the
Army and Navy Register objects TO II as an
infraction. In a period of profound peace,
of the traditional liberty Of the press. IL
goes on TO comment follows:
This growing spirit of secrecy in the War
and Navy Departments will invite no end of
criticism. II will lead scoffers TO argue the
preposterous charge OF exclusiveness and
aristocracy which are cudgels welded by
some hare-brained folk who delight TO d.
rect public prejudice upon service personnel
IL there Is any real reason for condolences
the reputable newspapers will surely OBJ
serve such requirements discreetly but hap
hazard and indiscriminate exactaons OF Sc
crecy and silence will result disastrousiy."
AS a matter OF fact the new order whefh-
er wise or foolish, necessary or wholly gra-
tuitous involves no violation Of the freedom
of the press. To speak in this connection
of a censorship and OF interference with the
press Is TO use terms inaccurately and
loosely. The real censor prohibits the pub
LEGATION of news obtained elsewhere without
his assistance. He who simply refuses 10
furnish news is no censor. IL is violation
of the freedom of the press 10 prevent a COR
respondent from sending news he has OBJ
tanned from independent sources. or 10 pun
ish publisher for printing such news II
Is in no sense violation OF freedom TO say
10 an editor or reporter: We have nothing
TO give you for publication
Having said this much 10 dissipate fog
and confusion. IL Is our duty 10 add that on
the general question we agree with our mill
tary contemporary and the other critics OF
the new policy The American reporters
will get the news. and they will publish
everything that readers will at all be likely
To take interest I'm. Forbidden fruit Is pro-

crews working to their limit and their de-
pots crowded with storm-bound passengers

widespread. On it's main line to-days trains
got as far as Passaic. On several of the
branches there was little or no traffic. On
the New Jersey and New York divisions
there were serious and frequent interrupt
tons past Spring Valley.
The Lackawanna put up notices which
read: "All tickets to Washington and west
sold at passengers risk" During the day
the main line was out of service between
Paterson and Boonton. Traffic ceased also
on the Sussex branch, the line being
washed out in several places.
The Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley
Railroads. except for minor Interruptions
practically resumed their regular schedule
to-day All Western mails arrived here
practically. on schedule time, although the
Western and Southwestern malls via Pitts
burg were delayed from three to five hours
The Southern mails coming via Washing
ton were delayed from one to three hours.
