 CENSOR BOARD
Ordinance is Adopted Gre ating Board Which is Elm powered to Prevent Oh jectionable Shows at the Local Theaters

Impressed with the growing necessity 1 of being in position to say whether
 or not the entertainment offered at local theaters and picture houses is of the proper sort, and to prohibit the showing of objectionable pictures or 1 acts if an attempt should be made to present anything of this sort, the city commission in special session yesterday morning adopted an ordinance under suspension of the rules and bearing the emergency clause, creating a board of censors. This board under the ordin- ance consists of the mayor, commis- sioners and the city manager. The board is empowered to enter any thea ter or moving picture house without charge, and witness any production and if in it's judgment the entertain ment is improper to cause it to be withdrawn forthwith.
 The title of the ordinance is quite explanatory of the measure. It reads:
 An ordinance cre2t;Gg a board of censors of shows, places wherein and where are shown any show, perform ance, exhibition. amusement or attrac- tiOn of every nature, and empowering the said board of censors. or a ma iOritv tHefeOl, 10 sum mdrllN close and put q stop to any show, performance, amuse- ment. exhibition or attraction, which the said board of censors or a majority thereof, shall deem to he indecent. ob- scene leWd, suggestive. immoral, or that may disturb or have tendency to disturb the peace, health or safety of the city, or if its inhabitants or any of them, and providing penalties for violation of any provision of this ordi- nance, or of any order of the board of censors hereby established.
 In the ordinance appears the words. "or permit any act, exhibition, attrac- tion, amusement or language therein which shall in any wise tend to excite race hatred or prejudice". This pas sage in the ordinance. is taken to mean that 1T it be found that the fOrthcom- ing presentation of a film entitled The Niger, at the Lamara theater. shall in the estimation of the newly created board of censors be of the sort that might tend to create race prejudice or hatred. the commission acting as such board of censors. will he empowered to prevent its exhibition here. The mayor mentioned the film as among those that the new board would be expected to scrutinize and to pass judgment as to whether it should be permitted to he shown here.

WILSON'S NOTE IS
Continued from Page One)

upon the proximity of two British patrol boats and the absence from the steamers freeboard of distinctive ships in the war zone That the at tackled steamer carried an American flag" the note added. was first ob- served at the moment of firing the shot" 1k
 The Gulflght was torpedoed in the English channel five weeks ago while bound from Port Arthur, Texas. for Pouen, France. with oil. She was lowed to Crows Sound and beached for repairs. Two seamen were drowned when the crew took to the boats immediately after the attack. and the captain died of heart trouble the next day.
 The text of the note, signed by the minister of foreign affairs, fol- lows:
 Tn regard to the attack on the steamer Gulflight. the commander of the German submarine saw on the afternoon of May l in the vicinity of the Scilly Islands large merchant steamer coming in his direction ac- companied by two smaller vessels. These latter took such position with relation to the steamer that they formed regulation safeguard against submarines; moreover, one of them had a wireless apparatus which is not usual on small vessels. From this it was evidently a case of an English convoy of vessels. Since the steamship and vessels were regularly armed the submarine could not approach the steamer on the sur face of the' water without rdnning the danger of destruction. It was on the other hand, to be assumed the steamer was of considerable value to the British government since it was so guarded. The commander could see no neutral markings of any kind, that is distinctive marks painted on the free board recognizable at q distance such as are now usual on neutral ships in the English zone of naval warfare. In consequence, he arrived at the conclusion from all circumstances that he had to deal with an English steamer, so sub merged and attacked. The torpedo came in the immediate neighborhood of one of the convoy ships which at once rapidly approached the point of firing so the submarine was forced

to go to a great depth to avoid be- ! ing rammed; the conclusion of the commander that the English convoy ship was concerned was in this way confirmed. That the attacked steam
 CT carried an American flag was first observed at the moment of firing
 the shot. The fact that the steam ship was pursuing a course which
 led neither to or from America was
 further reason why it did not oc- cur to the commander of the sub marine that he was dealing with an American ship
 Upon scrutiny of the time and place of the occurrence described, the German government became convinc- ed the attacked steamship was actu- ally the Gulflight. There was no doubt. according to the attendant cir cumstances that the attack was to he attributed to an unfortunae ac-
 cident and not to any fault of the commander. The German govern
 ment expresses regrets to the gov
 ernment of the United States con-
 corning this incident and declares
 itself ready to furnish full recOm
 pense for the damage thereby sus
 tained by American citizens. l. is left to the discretion of the Ameri-
 can government to present q state ment of this damage or if doubts arise over the individual points. to designate an expert who will have to determine. together with a German expert the amount of damage.
 Tt is not yet possible by means of inquiry to clear up fully the case of the American steamship Cushing. Official reports available report only one merchant steamship attacked by German flying machine in the vii cinity of NOrdhind Lightship. The German aviator was forced to con- slider the vessel hostile because it carried no flag and further because of no recognizable neutral markings. The attack of four bombs of course was not aimed at any American ship However, that the ship attacked was the American ship Cushing was pos sible considering the time and place of the occurrence, nevertheless the German government accordingly re- quests of the American government that it communicate to the German government the material submitted for judgment in order that with this as a basis, further positions may be taken in the matter.
 The undersigned leave to the am bassador to bring the foregoing to the immediate attention of his gov ernment and take this opportunity to renew his assurance of his most dis tinguished consideration"

when the best qualities of all
people are bound to assert
themselves. That it is the an
niversary of the birth of our
Savior adds to the goodness of
the day, for it means Peace on

this spirit is unconsciously and

are none but what will keep it in
some manner or other.
In this great country there is
not a home that should not feel

the ordinance which is from 1st
avenue east to Washington avenue
west on Bayfield, street.
This ordinance was passed by the
Common Council of the city of Wash
burn by men who gave the matter
considerable though and study. They
believed that it would be for the
best interests of the city of Wash
burn to have such an ordinance for it
would mean that in this district
nothing but fre-proof buildings could
be erected.
Although this ordinance has been
on the statute books for good many
years, it has never been enforced and
there has been some fragrant
violations or it's provisions. For a
number of years nobody seemed to
care whether or not the ordinance
was enforced but now that Washburn
is beginning to grow it is time that
the ordinance should be put into
effect and the council should ee
that it is enforced. The Commercial
Club members realized this at their
meeting last Friday and a reso-
luton calling for it's enforcement was
unanimously passed by the Club
members.
There is no reason why the Co UNI
ell should permit the ordinance to be
violated longer and the sooner peo-
pie are made to know this the easier
it will be to enforce the ordinance.
If people want to build in the dis
trict covered by the ordinance they
should abide by it's terms. If local
people are permitted to violate the
ordinance what can be said if outside
people, DESTROYS of starting in
in business in this city, also should
see fit to build shacks along the
main thoroughfare of our city.

Much credit is due the Commercial
Club and the paving committee of
that body for the efforts put forth to
see that Washburn's streets are
paved the coming spring. Projects
of this kind need some push to get
them underway, even though the
property owners are favorable, and
the Commercial Club in this instance
has given the necessary push to get
the ball rolling for paving.
Everyone in the city is interested
and people from the outside are be-
binning to give Washburn great
credit for the push and energy of it's
people. Everyone here is interested
in getting the best kind of paving
possible for the city and with feel
ing like this we are going to have it.
