Point to Natural Deductions.

That the first attack should have oc-
Cured on this side of the usual sub
marine zone also was regarded by these
ofiicials as natural. The Germans, they
said, must have expected Admiral Sims
to send his warships from their North
sea stations well to the west to meet
the expedition.
There was little inclination anywhere
to attach blame for the attack to any
official act of the War or Navy depart

movement overseas was conducted with
unusual secrecy, considering the large

Election of the members Of the board

appointed by any officer or set of Of

paign to be conducted by number of
citizens Of Washington. it became
known today.
P. 7. Moran, former president of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce and
now the chairman Of the committee on
schools of that organization, stated to-
day that he intended to bring the mat

meeting. Several citizens lately have
been talking the matter over. but the
announcement that it would be brought
before the Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee Is the first actual step in what
promises to be an ggressive cfty-wide
campaign. 1t is unlikely that the cam
paign will be fully launched, however,
before fall, when the many civic and
commercial bodies Of Washington re-
sumo their activities.
Approval Expected.
What action the Chamber of Com

in the matter cannot be forecast. but,

that this phase of suffrage will also

whole-hearted support among the lead

News Dispatches Delivered
to Secretary of War First
and Then to Destinations

Since Tuesday dispatches to the Asso-
ciated Press. telling of the American
troops in France. have been diverted
by Official order from their usual. chan
mel of delivery and have been delivered
first to the Secretary of War for his ap-
proval.
There is no censorship of the press in
the United States. Congress having re-
fused to enact such law, but newspa-
pers and press associations have volun-
tairly been observing the requests of
the government.
Heretofore news dispatches leaving
France have been censored by the
French ofhcials or the American censor
with Gen. Pershing's expedition, or by
arrangement with London. This. how
ever. Is the first instance in which an
executive department of the United
States government has seen fit to divert
dispatches from their destination and
withhold them for official inspection.
Diverted Without Notice.
In this case no notice of the govern
ments intention was given, and the
first intimation of the practice came
when, Tuesday night. dispatches ad-
dressed to the Associated Press, New
York: by us Paris correspondents were
tary Of War in Washington. who, after
inspecting the dispatches, delivered
them to the Associated Press bureau
here. Other dispatches addressed in the
same way were delivered to the Secre-
tary of War here yesterday and
through the committee on public infor-
nation delivered to the Associated
Press in Washington with certain por-
tions eliminated.
The volume of matter diverted to
Washington was very large, and no ad :
equate provision for the examination, or
censorship had been made The war
Department was overwhelmed. and a
consequent delay of hours in important
dispatches resulted.
Assurance has been given by Secre-
tary Baker that the new procedure is to
be practiced only temporarily. and that
double censorship will be shortlived.

Discussion Takes Many Angles.
Discussion of possible spy activities
took many angles today Some officials
were inclined to believe that the Ger
mans must have had a warning OF the
definite time agreed upon for the cross
ing, but others discredited any such
theory. arguing that an attack was to
have been expected as natural con-
sequence Of the general knowledge
that was common property.
At the Navy Department 1t was said
that all the information which had
come through WAS contained In Sec
retary Daniels statement. telling how
the expedition had encountered two
attacks, one of them before reaching
the place agreed upon as rendezvous
with American destroyers. and had sue
cessfully fought OF the U-boats and
destroyed at least one Of them. The
Secretary said he might receive more
detailed report later. but 1t was point
ed out that there was little Likelihood
that it would throw light on the gen.
esis Of the German attack or the in
formation back of it
Officials taking the view that there is
no ground for a spy scare. suggested
that it inevitably was a matter OF pub
lie information that the crossing OF the
expedition would follow soon after
Gen. Pershing's announced arrival In
France 1t therefore would not be un-
usual, these officials argued. il the Ger
man C-boats were given general orders
to cruise in squadrons across various
ocean lanes in the hope that one OF the
squadrons would intercept the ,Ameri-
cans.

A Great Production

At the Elco Theater on Monday
Feb. II, there will be presented
the great Selig play, '"THE Me-.
ER-DO-WELL," written by hex
Beach.
In many respects the critics as.
sert that 1.-THE NE'ER-DO.
WELL" is even greater than that
other photodrama, "The Spoil.
ers,' also written by Rex Beach
and released by the Selig com.
pany.
Colin Campbell directed "The
Spoilers" and "THE NE'ER-DO-
WE'LL" and Kathlyn Williams,
who achieved such emptional
heights in "The Spoilers, even
surpassed the record made there
as Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt in
"THE NE'ER-DO-WELL."
Wheeler Oakman plays the title
role and the drama filmed in Pan
anna, the locale Of Rex Beach s
story, abounds in plot, counter
plot, hand-to-hand battles, and
strong love interest.
Beautiful scenic effects are
plentiful, including wonderful
tropical scenery. The production
is in ten acts.

To Avoid Pneumonia

"From the standpoint of health
alone,' says DR.. l. j. Murphy, of
the Minnesota Public Health as
ISOLATION, 81 would urge every cit
izen to participate in outdoor
sports, like the st. Paul carnival.
Deaths from pneumonia, bronchi-
tbs, colds, and grip are most nu-
merous during January and Feb
ruary and March. One can great
ly lessen the chances of falling a
victim to one Of these plaques by
partaking freely of outdoor exer-
cises. Minor outdoor carnivals
ought to be held in every village
and in every household. Proper
indoor ventilation is difficult dur
ing the winter months and the
lowered resistance resulting there
from can be increased by obtain
ing long draughts of outdoor air.
Breathe a little fresh air every
day outdoors between now and
April, and your chances of having
the same opportunity in 1918 will
be greatly increased"

Mrs. Chas. F. Moller of Pine
wood, congressional chairman for
the Minnesota Womans Suffrage
ASS is in Ely today getting letters
sent by the leading men of the city
to Congressman Miller asking him
to vote for the Federal Amend
ment for Womans Suffrage. She
also is getting a great many letters
and signatures to petitions asking
Senator Griggs and Representa-
ives Murphy and Gill to vote fav-
orably on the Presidential bill now
before the house. The state legis-
lature can grant the women of the
state the right to vote for president
and vice president and Minnesota
women favor this bill rather than
the constitutional amendment be-
cause of the difficulty of amending
the constitution of the state.
Mrs. Moller says there is a very
decided demand for equal suffrage
by both men and women of the
range and is meeting with excel
lent response to her request for let
tiers.
