One of the most notable charit-
able campaigns the city of Nash
vile has ever put on, has been in
progress in that city for about two
weeks. In the great East Nashville
fire last Spring, the home Of the
Little Sisters Of the Poor, under the
roof of which were housed seventy
five or more INDECENT old men and
women, was entirely destroyed and
the sisters had to seek temporary
quarters for their charges, who to a
great extent were helpless Not
long ago the movement was inaug-
urated to raise the sum of FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS for the
erection of another home for the
Little sisters Of the Poor and their
dependents and in the space OF two
weeks the contributions aggregated
more than $4,000. The work still
goes on, the money will be raised
and the splendid home will be
built, so that Nashville will not be
deprived of the unsel6sh work of
the Little Sisters. The Little Sis

impatiently waiting is drawing near,

ternoon and night in Jackson. Ex-
pectancy never ran so high before
and it is likely that this district
will send a large delegation to feed
the elephants. Unusual interest
centers around the gigantic spec
tacle, Cinderella with which the
famous showmen are this season
opening their wonderful main tent
program. Cinderella" is probably
the best loved of all fairy tales and
to see it produced with more than
1000 persons, hundreds of dancing
girls and glorious pagents, indeed
give promise Of making "childhood's
golden dreams come true" In the
same great tent, will come the mar
velous circus numbers in which 400
men and women performers, scores
Of trained animals and a galaxy of
special features are introduced. The
majority of the acts are entirely
new to America, the Ringing Bros.
having secured the pick Of those
European performers who have
been obliged to seek engagements
in this country because Of the war.

LEXINGTON. TENNESSEE, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER r. 1915
METHODS AND
PURPOSES OF
CENSOR SHIP.

| AZ
We take from the Nashville Ban
ner OF last Saturday. the following
statement which had been sent out
from London.
David Lloyd-George, British Sec
retary of war, has given the Associ-
ated Press the following statement:
There appears to be a deliberate
campaign, set on foot in the United
States by German agents, to throw
doubt on the good faith of his mai
esty's government in regard to the
use of information obtained through
the censorship.
These German agents, with
whose underground methods of
working we are quite familiar, ap-
pear now to have resurrected my
statement in the house of commons
on August 9th. although that state
ment was fully explained by Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade
on August 8, and most explicit as
surances on the same subject were
given by him in a later interview on
August rs.
In spite Of this these propagan-
dists are trying to give out my
statement as something new. nulli-
flying Lord Robert Cecil's assurances
which followed it. Let me now say
on behalf Of the military authorities
what has already been said on be-
half Of the foreign Office. that when
information is passed on by the
censorship to other departments it
if for the sole purpose of guiding
the action Of the government in the
conduct Of war.
For instance, when we get in
formation that an American firm
to whom the foreign Office has Civ
en- permit for the export Of GER
tain goods from Rotterdam, on the
ground that these goods had been
paid for before the war, is using the
permit frauduently, as frequently
as frequently has been the case, we
pass the information on to the for
eign Office in order tLat they may
cancel the permit.
Again, when we find that a neu-
trail firm is using British banking
facilities for the purpose Of trading
with our enemies and is deceiving
the British banks in question as to
the real purpose Of the transaction,
we pass that information on to the
proper department in order. that it
may refuse to license the transac-
ton. Or, again, if we learn that a
shipment Of contrabrand, ostensibly
from one neutral firm to another,
is really destined for the enemy, we
see that the contraband committee
gets that information.
That, frankly stated is what we
do. But we affirm and challenge
anyone to deny it, that honest bust
ness and trade secrets Of an Amer
ican merchant or manufacturer are
as safe in the hands Of the military
censors and Of every other govern
ment department as they are in
in the hands Of the American post
Office"
