SUBSCRIPTION RATES
Too Many Commissions.

Congress has been asked to ap-
point federal commission that
must approve or condemn every
motion picture film in advance
of it's exhibition. AS an exchange
well says: so far as this request
indicates wish to keep our count
less picture screens clean and
wholesome, it deserves praise; but
in trying to lodge the safeguards in
a formal censorship, this effort,
however we'll meant, is surprisingly
ill-advised. 1t also argued that
such control would be misplaced
and the above quoted paper goes on
to say: Such a commission with
all its regulations and machinery
would needlessly embarrass the pro-
duction of films, whether for photo
play or for news illustration. Even
an ineffective maintenance would
take much money, either from the
taxpayer or the picture-maker; and
unless backed with corps after corps
ofinspectors and detectives, the COM
mission could not accomplish its pur-
nose. The censorship would not Only
be costly and irritating in practice,
it would be essentially wrong in
principle. A board of federal Of
ficers, permitting or forbidding
films, would bring to Americans
for the first time Just that kind of
misplaced control that England,
after thorough trial, abolished more
than 200 years ago. 1t would start
US at this late day on policy that
little Denmark had tested and dis
carded before the battle of Bunker
Hill. Every argument for the pre-
exhibition censoring Of films would
have equal weight for the pre-
publication censoring of operas and
plays, magazines and books" 1t
would seem that Congress is not
free from the discussion of fool
bills" any more than are our State
legislature. - Hardwick Gazette.
Down with commissions as a
whole. There has hardly one been
appointed in ten years that has not
exceeded its authority. They reach
beyond the point Of doing good and
become an actual damage. They
embarrass; they tyranize; they die
tate; they advocate changes and i'm
provements not beneficial; they are a
detriment to business. Look at the
railroad commissions. Appointed to
remedy fraud, they reached out and
dictated the management; the rates
without a proper understanding of
the conditions; the changing of the
whole system without the least
practical knowledge of the running
of the system. They became dictat-
ors instead Of safeguards of evil.
Look at the cattle commissions.
With them it is to kill. No herd of
cattle are safe. They do not doctor
to cure, as people do in case of dis
ease, but kill. So uselessly as it
seems to US, fine herds of cattle are
wiped out. 1t is not safe to raise
fancy herds today-because of COM
missions. Child and female labor
commissions; those on electric wiz
ing, marine affairs and inspection of
plants, are all over done. What did
our state commission on the New
England Telephone amount to but
huge bill of expense and a mass of
ignorance displayed. 1t would be
the same with a federal film COM
mission. Kill commissions and boom
business. we say

NEW YORK, April 19.-Wolfe Won
Igel will not be released from custody |
and only a part of the documents
seized at the time of his arrest on a
charge of being implicated in plot to
destroy the Welland canal, will be re-
turned to the German embassy, United
States Attorney II. SnoWden Marshall
announced tonight. His statement was
made in explanation of the latest phase
of the tangle which followed the arrest
of the former secretary to Captain
Franz Won Papen, recalled German mil
itary attache and who now is declared
by Ambassador Won Bernstorff to be
an attache of the German embassy
Il have not even considered the re-
lease of Won Igel," Mr. Marshall con-
tinued, 1.-THE legality of his arrest was
definitely settled so far as my office is
concerned early today.
Following Won Igel's arrest the pro.
test of the German ambassador was
made to the secretary of state and Mr..
Lansing referred the matter to the at
torney generals office. When the pro-
test reached my office, the only ques-
ton to be decided was whether Won Igel
was member of the German ambas-
sador's staff on the date of the crime,
charged. l was able Immediately to
report in the negative"
Mr. Marshall asserted there was no
basis for protest against his retention
of the papers on the ground that they
were obtained through a violation of
German territory. Won Igel contended
no 10 of .l., e ~ n,
man embassy.
Counselor Polk of the state depart
ment yesterday addressed the depart
ment of justice to free the prisoner I'M
less the offense was committed before
he became a member of the embassy
staff. AS the crime is alleged to have
been committed in september 1914
while Won Igel was not registered as
an embassy employe until December
1915, the legal branch of the govern
ment is said to have concluded that nc
diplomatic immunity stands in the way
of his prosecution.
In fact some officials contend that
clerks or secretaries of embassy at
tacks even though formally registered
as such enjoy no immunity.
1t has been reported that the state
department was consulted before vor
Igel was indicted and officials of the
department of justice have made il
clear that they would be guided entire
/ ly by the wishes of the state department
in respect to the case. Official docu.
ments seized in Won Papen's office wheI
Won Igel was arrested will be returned
to the German embassy. Secretarl
Lansing today assured Count Won Bern
storff that this would be done, after tn
: latter had called at the state depart
ment and emphasized his demand O
yesterday that the papers be returned
The papers which embassy official
seemed most anxious to recover, ar
said to be partly in code and their ex
animation would reveal the key to tn
German official cipher.

unwilling to discuss the disposition o
the seized papers to confirm a repor

MILWAUKEE SENTINEL

Whatever its intentions. the note
amounts to a flat demand that
Germany abandon her submarine cam
paign against merchant vessels alto
gether; and that is a very serious prop
osition only inferentially warranted by
international law. The president de-
clares that the rules of international
law cannot be observed by submarines
He also declares that diplomatic re-
lations will be severed unless Germany
observes these rules.
There it is plain as logic can make
it that President Wilson now takes a
long step away from his former conten-
tons and every demand that the abso-
lutte discontinuance or the use of the
submarine in these operations.
1T is most unlikely Germany will ac-
-cede to that demand.

1--WE must regard it (the address) as
in part, repetition of true and now too
familiar indictment of a civilized nation
for illegal practices and in part, re-
statement of the presidents views con-
corning his responsibility now only for
the protection of American rights but
also for the general interests of hu-
manity.
1.-The president went to congress ask
ing neither advice nor expression of
opinion, nor again legislative action.
The publication of the note this
morning would have made superfluous
the delivery of an address to congress;
unless indeed the president felt that his
