NEWSPAPER MEN
MUST JOIN ARMY

London, March 22-The war Office
has refused to exempt from army SER
vice a great many newspaper men and
women who have been designated by
the Newspaper Proprietors' associa-
ton of London as essential to the
work of publishing the local papers.
Art editors, photographers and dark
room operators are not considered as
editorial staff employees by the war Of
fee and it refused to exempt them
from military service. The same rul-
ing was applied to all society editors,
fiction editors, sporting editors and
headline writer's. Sub editors (copy
readers) were for some unexplained
reason considered more essential to
the papers than any Of the other men,
bers of the staffs.
"The general principle to be follow
ed" the war Office ruled, "is that the
men to be exempted are serving some
vital purpose during time of war;
Many of the leading London papers
were careful to publish a notice read
ing much like this: 1T should be
mentioned that the editor of the Lon
don Blank has not applied for exemp-
ton or postponement Of service in
any case of any war age man on the
editorial staff" r..

WILSON RESENTS
RUMORS OF PEACE

Washington, D. c., March %. Pres
ident Wilson was represented at the
white house today as being resentful
of the publication of stories that Am
bassador Gerard had reported Ger
many was about to make move for
peace. The published reports were
characterized as unjustified and being
based on differences. Yesterday the
state department took notice of the
publications by denying that Germany
had intimated to the United States
that the time was ripe for the United
States as the largest neutral to renew
its friendly offices for peace or that the
United States had been informed that
Mr.. Gerard had been requested to post
pone his vacation because of pending
peace negotiations. The report was
again denied at the department today.
