SAY CENSORSHIP OF
FILMS IS NOT NEEDED
Members of National Board Frown on
Hughes Bill for United States

Federal censorship of moving pictures
was declared unnecessary before the
House Committee on Education yester-
day during the consideration of the
Hughes bill. which would give the Fed
eral government authority to censor all
films.
The Rev. DR.. William Carter and the
Rev. W. S Bush. Of New York. told the
committee that there was no demand for
Federal censorship. and that the pres
ent work of the National Board Of Cen
sorship is sufficient. DR.. Carter. a men,
ber Of the national board. testified that
this board now passes upon ninety eight
per cent OF all motion picture films manu-
factured in or imported into this coun-
try. In 1913. he said, more than Il 000
feet were condemned. He declared that
lS5 persons are employed.
Mr.. Bush argued that there was no
sentiment for Federal supervision of
moving picture films, and that such
supervision would not be as successful
as that of the national board, members
Of which serve without compensation.
Representative Towner. Of Iowa, a
member OF the committee, suggested
that Federal censorship would do away
with all State and local supervision and
would. in the end, be more satisfactory
to theater owners, film manufacturers,
and the public.

SENATE Agrees NOT
TO ACCEPT FUNDS
Votes to Refuse Money from Pri-
vate Sources for Farm
Work.
MARTINS PROTEST IS IN VAIN

The Senate agreed to an amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill late
this afternoon. the effect OF which would
be TO prevent the acceptance Of any more
funds from the Rockefeller General
Educational Board. = branch of the
Rockefeller Foundation. I'm the prosecu-
ton OF general farm demonstration work
At the same time the appropriation for
this work was increased $3.50 COO, the
amount which the Rockefeller General
Educational Board has contributed an
nually for several years. The proviso
which accompanied the appropriation Is
very sweeping and will exclude private
contributions from any source.
Senator Martin. Of Virginia. who made
a fight yesterday against the plan fo-
rejecting Mr.. Rockefeller's pronered aid.
made a point of order today against this
provisO, hut Vice President Marshall
ruled that the point was not well taken,
inasmuch as the proposal in the proviso
was not as alleged by Senator Martin
new and general legislation upon a
general appropriation bill
Senator Gore warned Senator Martin
thai no matter what action the Senate
might take concerning the Rockefeller
donation. the Secretary Of Agriculture
had promised him. as chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture of the Senate.
that no further private donations would
be accepted in prosecuting the work of
that Department.
There was an absence Of the inflam-
matory debate Of yesterday, directed at
Mr. Rockefeller and the Standard oil
Company. except for some observations
by Senator Ashurst. Of Arizona.
John n. Rockefeller, jr.. has attempt
ed to debauch an American common

employees" declared Senator Ashurst.
Carnegie. indirectly, caused the streets
of Homestead to run red with blood.
Instead OF approving their aCtion by the
acceptance of their money. Congress
should pass resolutions condemning them
in the strongest terms.
Carnegie and Rockefeller both. not
only exploit the American people. in
the most shameless way, but they treat
their own working people in a most
brutal and inhuman fashion.

Manufacture of Liquor.
SUFFRAGISTS ARE JUBILANT

ARE JUBILANT

| Resolutions proposing two grea
constitutional reforms that have beeI
the subject of agitation in the United
States for years were reported to th'
House yesterday by the Judiciary Com
mittee One of them contemplates ma
tion-wide prohibition of the liquor
traffic and the other provides that the
suffrage shall be conferred on women
The committee made no recommends
! tion on either of these proposals. II
merely submitted them for such action
as the House may see fit.
Present Indications are that a vote
will be taken in the House this session
on the prohibition amendment Doubt
is expressed that the Senate will con-
cur at this time even If the amendment
is adopted by the House.
If the Democratic leaders stand by
their guns. there will be no action at
this session on the suffrage amend
ment At caucus of the House
Democrats held early in the winter a
resolution was passed expressing il 10
be the sense OF the dominant organiza-
tion that no action should be taken on
equal suffrage at this session.
There was an element of humor in
the situation that promoted the Judi
ciary Committee to report the suffrage
and prohibition amendments. For
months suffragists and advocates of
prohibition have been urging members
TO see to IL that both reforms were
brought to a vote without delay. In
nearly every instance a reply was sent
that the Judiciary Committee had not
acted. and that nothing could be done
unless that body made a report.
Let Go of Bag.
Members of the committee. aroused
by criticism directed toward them,
decided that they would no longer
hold the bag" 1t is now up 10 the in
dividuaI member of the House to speak
for himself on these questions.
The amendment relating to the liquor
traffic gives Congress the power to
regulate the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating and other alcoholic liquors upon
of amendment by three
fourths OF the States. The suffrage pro-
vides that no citizen of the United States
shall be deprived of the right to vote

GERMANS MASSING
FOR SUPREME EFFORT

Paris, Sept. THAT the Germans
are concentrated for a supreme move
ment to crush the allies is admitted
at military headquarters.
The Germans have moved to the
westward of Paris, their forces being
reported in strength at La Fere Sous
Jouarne. eleven miles east of Meux,
and are apparently strengthening their
positions at all points.
1t is believed certain here that the
German plan of offense contemplates
forcing a general engagement with
the entire allied armies before any
serious offensive movement Is direct
ed against Paris.
The Official reports at General Gal
lieni's headquarters say that at nc
point has the Paris army of defense
been In contact with the enemy. This
means that there has been no action
as yet directed against the city itself
