WAR PUBLICITY VALUABLE

fEvery specialist is, at first, wary of
publicity. Sooner or later his opinion
on the subject changes. He learn
that he cannot do what he wants to
do unless the public understands.
This is true of specialists whose
work may be termed only semi-pub-
lie, such as men in medical or other
science it is doubly true of the spec
ialsts in the science of warfare, the
heads of our armies and navies. In
the British army and navy the dis
trust of publicity has always existed,
but in recent years this distrust has
been broken down. Now, perhaps, the
relations between the men who fight
and their day-to-day historians prob
ably is more cordial in the British
army and navy than in any other.
At the opening of the war Great
Britain was without a press censor
ship organization, or certainly, any
thing approaching that of Germany.
With our traditions of free speech
and free press it was to be expected
that we should handle the matter
awkwardly. The expectation was rea-
lized. At the beginning the matter
was handled mechanically; rules had
to be made and applied and sometimes
the strict application of rules led to
Incidents irritating to the press and
harmful to the government.
Despite occasional mshaps and
the fact that most of the thought
given to publicity had to do with
ways of suppressing it, the British
army furnished the world with more
details of its activities than did the
other armies; vastly more than the

Herald Will
Publish Official List

The Herald has published for the
benefit of its readers the registered
list of men three times, the first time
as they registered in the various pre-
cincts, the second time when they were
given their serial numbers, and the
third time in the order drawn. While
it was impossible to publish without
errors the list in the order drawn,
the Herald found that there was a
great demand for the publication of
an unofficial list and published it as
best it could be made up from the
numbers given out by the government
on the day of the drawing. Many Of
the large papers of the country have
published the unofficial list because
of the public demand and insist that
the general order will not be mater
tally changed by the official. Some
numbers have been omitted perhaps
and some have been duplicated, but
the great number of the registered
men know about where they stand in
the list and that is the object of the
publication of the unofficial list by a
hundred or more of the larger papers
Of the country. As soon as the Of
fetal list can be obtained the Herald
will publish the same not SO much
for its immediate news value as for
a permanent record which will be a
matter of history in the future years.

NO ARMS AVAILABLE

Washington, d. c., July 21, 1917
Mr.. C. F. Black, Secretary,
Durango Rifle Club,
Durango, Colorado
Dear Sir:
For the purpose of consolidating
in one bureau all correspondence re-
lating to the issue Of arms and am
munition to educational institutions
and rifle clubs, 1t has been decided by
arrangement with the Ordnance De-
partment that hereafter all papers
relating to said issues shall be ham
died in this Office. Your requisition
dated June 26th for ammunition has
been referred to this Office, and you
are requested to communicate in the
future to this Office in regard to such
matters.
/ regret to advise you that under
orders of the Secretary of War it will
be impossible to fill your requisition
at this time. The Secretary has de-
cided that all issues Of arms, ammu-
milton and other government property
to educational institutions and rifle
clubs be suspended during the period
of the war. The necessity for this
action lies in the fact that all ord
nance material is required for the
needs Of the army.
Your requisition will be placed on
file and when the issues Of ordnance
material are resumed, the same viii
be forwarded to the proper arsenal
to be filled or It will be returned TO
you in order that new requisition
may be submitted.
Very respectfully,
E. v. BOOKMILLER,
Major, U 8. A., Retired,
Director Of Civilian Marksmanship.

all such doubts, by restricting their
information to the minimum.
But there is extremely little in
formation withheld from the public
if it can stand the acid test: "Will it
benefit the enemy?"
The breaking down of old prejudices
and old traditions in regard to pub
licity was not accomplished without
heartburnings in the breasts of many
officials, but the fact that they have
learned as fast as they have would
seem to prove they have come to like
it. This means that Great Britain
will see the game thru with the day

BRITISH DEATH LISTS
CAUSED HOME ECONOMY
(By George Aiartin)

WASHINGTON, July 2s. = Eng
land didn't abandon it's orgie of os-
tentation and luxury until the death
lists began to pour in from the
trenches.
Then the small sacrifices like style
in dress and fancy foods came easy
to them, said "ray Pay" Ct. p.) o.
Connor, Irish Envoy to America, dis,
cussing Uncle Sans food and s,,pply
conservation progrvam here today.
The white haired celt went on to
Tell more of what happened to the
British housewife and other stay-at-
homes, drawing comparisons with the
same things happening in this coun-
try today.
He expressed keen interest in the
governments plea to women to aban-
don their beloved style in dress and
the appeal to men to curb their appe-
tites at table.
Luxuries in England have been prac-
tically wiped out, said he. A few men
still drink champagne now and then.
but with a certain air of apology.
The lesson | think one might draw
from what is taking place in Eng
land is that self-denial has become
easy to those outside the trenches
largely because of the heroic sacrl-
flee of those who are in the trenches.
"The war thus has had great
e'evating influence on the morale OF
the nation. 1t has been a beneficient
interruption of the great orgie of os-
sentation and luxury.
Men and women's appetites for
enormous wealth and great expendi-
lures have received check.
All these things will finally re-
suit in more equitable point of
view as to the distribution of wealth
among different classes of society
and pave the way for an approach
to more popular state.
DINNERS have been reduced uni
versally to three courses. And you
could not find table, however hos
pitable the host or however wealthy,
where today more than three cour-
ses are served.
"Many things considered indespen-
sable are now surrendered without
the least sense of self-denial.
'In the house of commons we had
to go three days without potatoes.
After the first day nobody seemed
to mind or indeed remember that we
had no potatoes. We were quite sat
isfied with rice or turnips.
MANY men and women, some Of
them rather stout, have given up
riding to and fro in taxicabs. Those
who never rode in tubes or busses
do so now because they realize the
number of drivers needed at the
'front.'"
