TO SUPPRESS RUMoRs NOW

Indulgeo in Gossip In London
About the War.

In war times, under a strict GEN.
sorship, rumors are as common as
dirt. Everyone has one to pass on,
remarks the New York Tribune.
You don't belong" in any gathering
unless you have at least one rumor
to whisper. If newspaper reporter
believed all he heard he would never
stop writing, or wouldn't write a
line, depending on his physical
makeup.
Now the London police authorities
have decided there are too many ru-
mors about, and are taking steps to
put gag on the rumor mongers.
They have a merry task ahead of
them. If every rumor monger is
caught and labeled there will be more
gags worn there than iron crosses in
Berlin.
but there is to be distinction
made in rumors. In the near future
the man who whispers, "My friend
in the admiralty tells me the Zeppe-
Inns are coming tonight" is liable to
be thrown into Jail and kept there
at hard labor for some months. 1t
won't make any difference whether
he is an Englishman, a Frenchman
or an American. Prosecutions will
be pressed under the Defense of the
Realm act, and this act gives the au-
thorities a wide latitude. Woe be-
