ORDERS ARE
PUZZLE TO ARMY OFFICERS
Not Yet Decided What Means
Will Be Used to Prevent
News of Movements
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Army officers
were puzzled today deciding how strin-
gently they shall attempt to enforce CEN
sorship on troop movements and location
at the border. They had before them
copies of newspapers from over the
country publishing stories from their
special correspondents who are with To-
cal national guard units arriving at
border points. In most cases the cor
respondents specified the destination of
their troops.
The war department has objected to
the publication of this information, yet
officers admit privately that under pres
ent circumstances they do not blame
newspapers for announcing the destina-
ton of their local units They point out
that the Mexican government has not
sufficient agents in the United States to
gather these reports published in such
scattered localities, and to construct
from them a comprehensive schedule
showing strength of troops at various
points along the border.
Officially the destination of all ma
tional guard units is supposed to be a
military secret. Officials thought it i'm
probable that any step would be taken
at this time toward more complete cen
sorship. They will rely on newspapers
not to publish and the public not to ex-
pect news of future shifting of forces
from one point to another on the border.

This modern authority is the O'Hara
vice commission, which in its report
laid the responsibility for vice direct
ly at the door of the rich masters,
who, by keeping their slaves in a
state of poverty and starvation, COM
pei the women slaves to become pros
titutes in order to live, and also COM
pei the men slaves to patronize the
former.
In your grandfatherly, kind way,
you advise the working man to marry
and raise children, whereby, you say,
he will be the happiest man in the
world. Can't you see that by say
ing this you transgress on the bibles
commandment, "Do not mock the
poor?" Can there be a more de-
risive mockery to poor man, who
earns hardly enough to support him
self, than to tell him to take unto
himself wife, raise children and be
happy?
AS servant of Jesus, you learned
to follow the line of least resistance.
You find it much easier to blame the
poor man or woman, but very hard
to fight the rich interests which are
the root and seeds of prostitution,

POVERTY THE MAIN CAUSE

POVERTY THE MAIN CAUSE
Mr. Arthur BuTTage Farwell; Every
chaste-minded man or woman must
agree with you in your stand against
prostitution, although disagreeing
with your method in attempting to
cure this evil. You cannot cure by
religious don'ts a vice the direct
cause of which is poverty any more
than you can cure by a sleeping pow
der a disease caused by il-nourish-
ment.
If you must quote passages of the
bible as a means to combat vice, l
would suggest for your quotation the
fifth book of Moses, chapter %, pas
sages 16, II, Is and 20, where the
exhortation against prostitution
comes in wonderfully close connec-
ton with the eXhortations against
betraying the workers in favor of the
masters and against interest on
money, and profit on food and all
other commodities. While you offer
thanks to your lord Jesus Christ l
think it would not be amiss for you
to understand the above indicated
passages of the book of Moses.
But why go back to the ages of
Jesus or Moses to look for authori-
ties on the causes of, and the rene
dies for, prostitution and vice? To
a perfectly sane mind it seems that
the authorities living in our own age,
knowing our mode of living, fully
acquainted with modern conditions,
