Germany Defends It's
Use of Gas in War;
Says Allies Started

RERL1N. June 26-(Via Iondon)-A
semi-official statement has been issued
here explaining and defending the Ger
man use of osphy Mating gases
The first point made is that the British
and French employed such gases before
tho Germans. and in addition TO the
earlier statements OF tho German Of
fetal war reports. concerning such al
legged use, the statement now cites the
text OF communication said 20 have
been issued by the Fronch ministry OF
war describing two sorts ot projcctiles
designed to produce a Sitting gas, and
the mode OF their usage. This COM
munication Ii said TO have been dated
February o. before tho Germans en-
PLAYED gas in their attack upon Npres.
The German statement refers to alleged
reports published in American newspapers
that the I.usitauia carried 25000O pounds
OF tetra-chloride Of tin consigned 20 tho
FrCnch government and intended for tho
production Of asphyNiating gases. speak
ing OF alleged efforts TO arouse American
sympathics against Germany for its use

tho American delegates. was added To- tho
protocol that 1t had not been proven

Of war. The German statement finally
compares the use Of gas with the In
undGtion OF fighting areas. instancing the
flooding of the rcgiou Of Newport by tho
Belgians some time ago. and argues that
both methods are equally humane and
that an enemy merely needs TO withdraw

SOCIALIST COMMISSIONER
VOTES AGAINST CENSOR
SHIP OF FILM PLAYS
Local Club Women Grow Pussy
Over Exposure Of Social
Conditions

While doing nothing to remove the
goo-goo feminine element of Everett
have forced the two bourgeois city
commissioners to vote yes" for 10
cal censorship of the movie films
Socialist commissioner Salter voted
in opposition, of course. AS Social
lists, we can but approve Of comrade
Salter's stand.
First Of all, this Local censorship
will be placed in the hands Of people
who are in no way qualified to Judge
Of what play Is or Is not q
detriment to public morals. They
will have neither the intelligence nor
the culture requisite to such an i'm
portant function We don't know ex.
actly who will be chosen. but We
know who will do the choosing.
In the second place, any such Gen.
sorship is a dangerous step in the
wrong direction. 1t encroaches close
ly upon the rights granted under the
principle of freedom of the press and
of free speech. Under the obnoxious
tyranny of such bunch of incom-
petents as will, in all likelihood, be
selected as censors. any play that
shows up the inherent rottenness OF
the capitalist system, and especially
which reveals the economic basis Of
its inevitable vice, crime, injustice
and depravity, and which also points
out the remedy for social Ills, may BIZ
placed under the ban by few reac.
tionaries sitting as "censors."
This proposed board Of censors is
altogether superfluous, and an insult
to the intelligence of Everett theatre
goers. We, the general public, prefer
to do our censoring for ourselves; and
the box-office is the place where we
can cast our votes for or against the
character of plays shown in our local
houses.
When the next election day rolls
around, there will be three Socialist
commissioners in the city hail. and
there will be no old foggie board of
censors appointed by them. The peo-
pie Of the city of Everett, as a whole,
will act as board of censors, pat
ronizing only those movie houses
which exhibit plays that appeal to the
average taste and intelligence Of our
citizenship.
