RIGID CENSORSHIP
ON THE i. S. PRESS
List of First Regulations MaterialI,
Revised Committee Chairman.


w AotiiNGIUN, aug T. A new
list Oh press regulations making ma
terial changes IN the voluntary cen
sorship rules under which American
newspapers have been operating, was
promulgated tonight by the commit.
tee on production.
The new regulations contained in
the first general request that there
be no public mention of the arrival
OF American troops at European ports
replacing in that respect an express
authorization in the old rules for
use of any cable dispatches passed
by the European censors.
Other. sections of the old regula-
tons are made more severe by spe-
cific stipulations in place OF the more
general language employed in the
rules in force until now. Informa-
ton which the government considers
might reveal moves or policies is de-
serabed in great detail
In the statement announcing the
new regulation, George Creel, chair
man of the committee says that IRE,
peatcd and serious violations of the
voluntary censorship have been at
tempted to be excused on the score
of misunderstanding" and that ire
statement" Is made with the idea
that hereafter there shall be no room
for doubt as to the committees de-
sires.

serious charges OF the violation have

TROUBLE IN SPAIN.

proving, Seem to Become More
Desperate.

Paris, July 2.-The situation -
Spain, far from improving. appears to
be going from bad to worse. The
gravity of the crisis is confirmed am
ply by such news as reaches Paris.
The Madrid correspondent of The Pc
tit Parisien, telographing Sunday.
says the suspension of constitutions |
guarantees by the government has no;
removed the unrest in Spain. Tho
fact that the heavily censored Span
ish press publishes nothing concern
Ing the internal situation seems to in
dicate that conditions are far from
normal.
Great importance is attached i'm
political circles to two facts: First.
that the king and queen cancelled an
engagement to attend pool game:
second, that n special cabinet meet
ing was held, ut the conclusion of
which Premier Dato went to the
palace and had long conference with
the king. These circumstances have
given rise to all sorts of comment,
many persons seeing in them proof
that the government had received Sc
riOus news. but nothing so far has
confirmed this view.
