One problematic date is August |,
while a good many people think that
the w-making body may be in ses-
son much longer. Most of the Ad-
nlinistratlch war measures have beer
disposed Of, and since in every case
Congress has followed the directions
OF the President with very little re
monstrance, it would appear that the
Congressional machine might well be
wound up. with its tasks all finished
within another month. Washington
has not had its usual spell of scorch-
ing hot weather this summer, and if
Old Sol should start blazing away at
tn" capitol dome it will help to shorten
the session very materially
CENSORING THE NEWS
With only one or two unlmportant
exceptions all foreign and military
rews items that the Government has
desired suppressed. has been voluntar-
lily withheld by Washington writer's
Gnd newspaper publishers. The cen
sorship "on honor" appears to be
working satisfactorily. However.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment, has been doing little censor
ing on his own account. 1t is proable
that the censorship will finally be
placed in operation so as TO cover mil
ltary and troop operations, and the de
velopment of new inventions. The
freedom Of the press, permitting the
criticising of officials and measures,
Will likely not be changed in any way.
