CENSORSHIP OF
WIRELESS is LEGAL

Citations of Law to Break up
Opinion Sustains the
Government

Washington. Sept. 1S.-Censorship Of
wireless messages by the federal gov
eminent is legal, according to an opin-
ion ny Attorney General Gregory, an
nounced today by Secretary Daniels
The attorney generals gives several
citations of law to back up the opin-
ion; but his main contention is upon
the right of the government to use
every means at its command to pre-
serve neutrality in war time. To pre-
serve neutrality, the opinion says. the
government has the right even TO make
use of the armed forces of the United
States.
The legal right of the government to
exercise a censorship was raised by
the Marconi Telegraph Co. of America.
All wireless plants are affected by
the opinion, but those most prominent
in the public eye are at Siasconset,
SayVille and Tuckerton.

idea may be gained of the extraordinary
sacrifices of men during these first few
weeks of the worlds greatest war.
No confirmation has been received here
of the reported Servian evacuation of
Semlin, nor have the brief dispatches
ringing this rumor told whether the re-
tirement was due to strategic reasons or
a result of the onslaughts of the Aus
TRANS aided by the gunboats which are
reported to have bombarded both Semln
and Belgrade. All Servian advices insist
that the Serbs are continuing their Wig
orous forward movement,
Even preliminary talk of peace seems
to be resented by the British public.
While the pact recently signed by the
allies insures concerted action in the di-
rection of peace on their part, the dis
patches from Washington relative to the
attitude on peace of DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg the German chancellor, as con-
veyed through James W. Gerard, the
American ambassador at Berlin, together
with dispatches from Rome. saying that
Austria Hungary desires peace, have
aroused considerable discussion here and
editorial articles already have appeared
saying that peace on any terms is out of
the question until what is styled as the
menace of German militarism' is crush
ed
The impatienee of the British public
for news from the front seems now to
be more or less reconciled to the en-
forced necessity of awaiting the Off
cie1 bulletins as given out by the press
bureau. Dispatches received from Der.
lir say the German public has been
without actual news of the situation
in the western area of war for two
weeks. There is nothing to indicate a
change in the situation in the eastern
zone. Presumably the armies of Aus
tria are still trying to unite at Cra
cow while the Russian army under
General Rennenkampf is holding the
Germans at bay along the frontier of
Poland.
While public opinion and the press
in Italy and Rumania apparently are
still In the dark as TO the course these
nations will pursue as the struggle
continues, a semi official assurance
came from Denmark today from the
newspaper Politiken that that eoun-
try will remain firm in it's neutrality.
The Polltiken says:
Nothing can induce us to change
the policy of neutrality which Den
mark has declared she will follow"

London, Sept. Isl P. Mas has
been the case heretofore, when the
struggle along the vast battle line in
France has been most acute, the pub
lie in Germany as well as in France
and England, has been forced to con-
tent itself with the most meagre news
of the progress of the operations. Elk
perience had shown that extended
statements are issued only after che
retirement or the temporary defeat Of
one army or the other.
The information this morning sets
forth laconically that the battle is
raging with great fierceness along the
whole front, which extends, roughly
speaking. from the river Disc near
Neyon to the German fortress of
Metz, but barring a slight retirement
of the German right wing, at certain
points no decided advantage is cred
tied to either side
Presumably the efforts of the allies
have been divided into three supreme
struggles; first, to dislodge the Ger
mans from the heights of the Alsne;
second, to break through the fourth
and fifth German armies in the center
and third to outfiank the German
right under General Won Kluek. The
position of the fourth and fifth Ger
man armies is considered not so
strong as the remainder of the line,
while if the thanking movement is
successful the railroad lines on which
the Germans depend so greatly would
be cut.
The movement of either army Is
matter of the merest speculation. The
press of London dwells today upon
the possibility that the Germans are
striving only to hold the strong posi-
tions they now have assumed, with
the view of keeping the allies at bay
and thus affording Emperor William
opportunity to rush more troops to his
eastern frontier.
On the other hand it would be no sur
prise if the Germans, now reinforced,
should attempt another aggressive move
r,ent similar to the one which the allies
inaugurated SO successfully after the in
yaders had exhausted themselves in the
avalanche-ike rush towards Paris.
Figures have been compiled estimating
the German losses at 5000 daily for the
last fortnight. This totals more than
"a, 600 since Sept. 4. AS the losses of the
allies are known to have been tremen-
dous, and adding the terrible losses suf-
ferred by the Austrians in Galicia, some

Whether or not all the members of
the Arrow Club are victims of those
funny little arrows Cupid shoots no
one really knows. but anyhow the club
met Friday evening at the home of
one of its members, Miss Edith Pat
tangall, Silver street, and when the
nine ribbons hanging from a huge ball
made of pink roses suspended from
the chandelier to the place cards there
came favor into each plate with the
announcement that little Dan had
been busy and that Miss Pattangall,
who is the daughter of Hon. and Mrs.
william r. Pattangall had become
betrothed to Madison N. Gilman. son
of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Gilman of Mad
ison. Two little pink hearts pierced by
the same arrow told the old, old
story. and then of course there were
congratulations and heaps of good
wishes. A course dinner was enjoyed
in the dining room, which was en-
livened here and there by vases of
cut flowers. In the evening Auction
bridge helped to make the hours more
than enjoyable ones, and attractive
tally cards will be mementos of the
evening, and the favors of the dinner.
In addition to Miss Pattangall the
members of the club are: Miss Mar
jorie Meader, Miss Marion Springfield,
Miss Lucille Foster, Miss Mabel Sto-
bic, Miss Margaret Arnold, Miss Ger
trude Percival, Miss Martha Terry and
Miss Ruth Abbott.
The announcement was not wholly
unexpected for Miss Pattangall and
Mr. Gilman even back in the days
when they were students at Coburn
found each others company very
agreeable. Mr.. Gilman is at present ii
student in the University OF Maine,
and no date has been set for the we'd

ia ri Fraternity and was captain of
last years baseball team. Both We're
graduated from Coburn in the class
