HOUSE BEGINS FINAL
LEGISLATIVE DRIVE
Series of Night Sessions Will Start
Tcnight-Calendar to Be
Disarranged.

The final legislative drive to clean up
the pending business by March begins
tonight, when the House opens a. series
of night sessions planned to last until
the gaveI falls on the final sitting.
Leaders of the House have the army
bill well in hand, and will present 1t
to the Senate within a few hours; and
meantime scores of members with large
and small bills of every description are
using their efforts to get their favorite
legislation enacted. Large holes VIII
be chopped in the calendar between
now and Saturday. The Wednesday
calendar, which is sacred to legislative
miscellany all during the session, is
now automatically set aside by the
rule which gives the House power to
drop calendar Wednesday in the last
two weeks of a session.
Possible Future of D. c. DRY Bill.
The Military Academy bill is scfed-
uled to follow the army bill: then the
trict dry bill will have a chance on
the floor is now a puzzle to nearly
every one. Hearings on that measure
close tomorrow, after WhlCn the DlS-
trict committee takes the bill under
consideration" for discussion and pos
Sible amendment.
The House rid itself of an incubus
Yesterday when, by objection from
Representative Stafford of Wisconsin
and Representative Hubert of New
York, the Randall BILL to exclude alco-
holic liquor advertising from the mails
was stricken from the calendar with
out word of discussion.
Larger Bills Provided For.
A bill to authorize the Treasury to
issue gold certificates, payable to or
der. in large denominations, so as TO
avoid the bulk of the same aggregate
value of smaller denominations, was
passed yesterday. 1t authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue such
certificates in denominations of $4,000,
and, if requested by federal reserve
authorities, to Issue them in denomina-
tions of 100000
A bill authorizing the Panama Canal
Zone district court to try cases of dis
closure of national defense secrets
was also passed, as were bills to re-
lieve mining claim owners mustered
into federal service as national guards
men from meeting assessment require
ments as to the claims during military
service.

Neutral War Press Bureau Formed.


The constantly increasing number of
correspondents in Germany. all seek
ing an opportunity to see something of
the war and obtain news, led to the
esta blishment of what was known as
the neutral war press bureau. Theo-
retically, this bureau was headed by
Mai. Deutelmoser. a man well quail
fed for the position, but he was so
occupied with other things that he
relegated this work to subordinate.
This buresu existed from October,
1915, until last summer. Under its au-
spices, correspondents Travelled to va
rious fronts, submitting all dispatches
for censorship. 1t became apparent
quickly that the bureau was at odds
with the foreign office 1t sought to
extend it's jurisdiction SO as to censor
everything written. and while its CEN
sors clashed with those in the foreign
office the correspondents got the worst
of things.
AS the weeks passed the newspaper
men found it almost impossible to
write of the interesting things they
bureau was to send them to points on
the front where they saw little of i'm
portance. Everythingt they did write
was censored, in. each instance &C
man to whom the dispatch was re-
ferred. Correspondents of whatever
nationality were not disposed to pro-
test at suppression of military in
formation, but they did insist that some
degree of fairness be applied to their
dispatches.
The government eventually discov-
cred that the bureau was not a success
under Maj. Deutelmoser's subordinate,
and also that it's own press bureau for
German newspapers was not operating
as it should. In consequence there fol-
lowed reorganization of the entire
press system.

Censorship System Maintained.

These officials usually have recog--
nized faults which have been pointed
out and have made the most earnest
efforts 10 facilitate the gathering of
news, but never have altered materially
the censorship system which set at
naught all they and the correspondents
did. effectually damming up the stream
OF news which had been opened. Short
ly after the outbreak of the war the
foreign Office modified consuls who
supposedly We're familiar with foreign
languages and installed them as CEN
sors. In reality. few of them are well
versed ~ any language except German.
None ~ has any conception of
newspa .ork or any military or
political knowledge which gives es-
pecial cu.jiicarion for the task. The
correspondents speedily came into con-
hict with ihcS- censors and the gov
eminent. discovering something was
amiss. attempted to remedy the trouble.
However. its efforts consisted of open
ing up uAditional channels of news
which the censors stopped.
The foreign Office created the So
called central bureau for foreign serv-
ice, which flooded neutral countries
with photographs and with literature
written from the German standpoint,
merely translated into Dutch, Swedish
or Rumanian. This literature damaged
rather than assisted the German cause,
in Holland. for instance. 1t was
amended when Dutch correspondents
told the foreign office that Holland de-
sired real news.

Desire of Government for
Favorable Impression Among

RIGID SYSTEM MAINTAINED
From a stan Correspondent Of the Associated
Press

| lIpiG = SIAN correspondent OF Ih' -N>sotlateu
Press.
BERN. Switzerland. February 10
According to statements made to the
correspondent before his departure
from Berlin with former Ambassador
Gerard by public men in Germany, the
German government did not awaken
until long after the beginning of the
war to the desrability of making a
favorable Impression on public opinion
in neutral countries, or at least of haV-
ing its side of the case given hearing
in the neutral press. An outlay of I'M
told hundreds of thousands of marks
has since been made, with the employ
ment of not inconsiderable STATS of Of
flcers and men and with constantly
changing systems, in the effort to
achieve the desired ends.
Correspondents from neutral coun-
tries have experienced constant diff
Guilty since the beginning of the war in
attempting to report facts in an I'M
biased manner. In the thirtieth month
of the war Germany applied the same
newspaper methods TO American, Dutch,
Sea ndinavian and Spanish newspaper
men as in the first months.
The censorship has been the main
source of trouble. largely because it
has been working at s-purposes with
the very officials who have had it in
their power to adjust the difficulties.
