STATE CENSORS BLAME
GREED FOR OPPOSITION
Scenes Stricken From Films
Show Need of Supervision,
Board Declares

HARRISBURG, April 13--The state
Board Of Moving Picture Censorship has
issued a statement defending itself against
recent attacks II says in part:
wrhe sensational story appearing in
some papers that moving picture censors
Of % states are ruled by what Is termed
the rum ring is a pipe dream so far as
the PENNSYLVANIA board is concerned. In
the first place. while there are several
city police censorship boards, there are
only three state boards I'm the whole
country, not %. Another was added re-
Gently by the passage OF the censorship
bill in Maryland
This shows the absurdty Of the at
tempted reflection on our board. IL is
but part Of a well-organized plan Of the
moving picture interests to defeat CEN
sorship. II they were free TO show some
of the hair-raislng sensational sugges-
tions of immortality which we have CEN
sored It would mean limtless profits to
them. That Is the whole reason for their
rather ingenious cry for free screen.
"I believe motion picture censorship in
Pennsylvania is here TO stay. The pur-
pose of the l.,.islation is benencent to
the highest dp-ree, and that its accom-
plishment is likewise benefcent Is DEM
unstrated by the filth that the board has
ordered eliminated from pictures"

N. Y. TRIBUNE HOSTS
BANNER OF ROOSEVELT
Newspaper That Fought Col
onel in 1912 Says Country
Needs Him

NEW YORK, April 13,-Under the cap
tion, Colonel Roosevelt for President"
the Tribune publishes an editorial today
in which II says:
Colonel Roosevelt and no pussy-foot-
ing. The Tribune likes this candidate and
this Issue. It regards Senator Root, its
favorte so long as he had chance Of
nomination, as now practically eliminated.
1t cannot interpret any more hopefully
the failure of the oxygen treatment which
his candidacy received i'm the shape Of the
manifesto with 75 signers.
I'VE are for Colonel Roosevelt because
we think the country needs him. No one
else will quicken the pulse of the nation
as he will quicken It, No one else will stir
the conscience OF the people as he will stir
1t. no one else will inspire patriotism as he
will inspire It, We are for Colonel Rouse-
Welt in spite Of the fact that we were
against him four years ago No one fought
him harder than we. None now will fight
harder for him. II has not been easy to
put aside our pride our sense Of resent
mcnt of what occurred I'm 1912, and the
hundred other things that tend to keep
alive divisions.
I'VE might have preferred another
leader, but there is no other leader. Justice
Hughes might have spoken If he had been
free to speak. But the plain fact is that
he did not speak he could not speak

WOUNDED DIE IN FLOOD

PARIS, April 1S.
Another attempt by the Germans to
assault the French positions on tlnl 304,
northwest Of Verdun, on Wednesday, was
prevented by the French artillery. Il was
announced today by the War Office.
After a violent bombardment Of the hill
the Germans prepared 70 throw heavy
masses of men forward but the curtains

from carving out the enterprise.
The night was generally calm on the
Ferdun mont the Communique stated
The Intensity Of the German artillery
fire against the French position on I'M
a04 had indicated that the Germans would
make their next powerful infantry assault
against that section of the line and the
French artillery was prepared to meet it.
As the German fire slackened hundreds Of
French guns began raining shells in eur.

The Teuton troops that tried to pene.
trate the veil of steel were wiped out by
the deadly fire
The German General staff is again
moving reinforcements to the Vcrdun
front II is supposed by military critics
that these troops were originally intended
for the east front However, bad roads
and floods In Russia have compelled the
Russians TO lessen their activities. with the
result that the soldiers could be sent to
the west front.
lIne severe artillery fire northwest of
Verdun has smashed, some of the dilSes
along the west bank of the Meuse The
stream, already at flood tide from rain
and melting snow. has overfiowed con-
siderable portion of the lowlands around
Cumieres. Many German wounded were
drowned by the inundation.
Northeast of Verdun the Germans have
carried out vigorous cannonades against
the French positions and the roads in the
rear of the French lines.
The text of the official communique fol-
lows:
The night was quiet throughout the
entire region about Nerdun.
German attack. which had been
prepared for yesterday afternoon
against our positions on Hill 3O4 was
not able to sortie from the enemy's
trenches. The curtains of fire from
our artillery and the bombardment
directed by our batteries in the
neighboring sectors upon enemy col
= umns concentrating in Malancourt
Wood appeared to have made that
operation abortive.
No important event occurred on the
entire front.
