GOVERNMENT NOT TO
SHUT DOWN ON PRESS
Decide to Leave it to Editors

What Shall Not.

WASHINGTON. April l6.-Secre-
tarics Lansing Baker and Daniels and
George Creel, who compose the new
government publicity bureau created
by President Wilson. held their first
meeting today to map out course Of
action.
The primary purpose of the bureau,
1t was stated. was to profit immcdi-
ately by the mistakes made abroad in
imposing "A military censorship on the
press at the beginning of the war. and
To open to the public all proper In
formation as to what the government
Is doing or Intends to do. Details OF
the plans are still to be worked out.
There will be no effort to withhold
any Information except such as, In the
judgment of the press Itself 1t would
be unwiSe to print. An advisory re-
lationship with the press representa-
tiVcs at Washington will be established
To secure that end
Indications are that no attempt a'
direct censorship will be made. The
bureau will formulate after "A confer
ence with the newspaper men here a
set of regulations for the guidance OF
newspaper editors and which, II Is be-
lieVcd, will be so clear and impose SC
few restrictions that there can bo nc
mistake as to their meaning. Ii will

there Is no plan for watching the col
umns of the press.

Nets Hit Sub" Menace, Says Visitor Here
Saw the Deutschland Captive at Plymouth

| he saw the preparations for the met
war; which the English and French
are carrying on to stave off and cap
ture the submarines by means OF huge
steel nets, which are placed at inter
vas acros the English channel
According to Mr.. Chown, who re-
turned TO the United States on Feb
ruary 20 aboard the Mauritania, her
last voyage before being placed in re-
serve by the British government, the
nets which are being placed across
the English channel are not of large
mesh, as Is generally supposed, but
ere made OF rings not over eight inches
In diameter.
The rings of which these nets are
steel. and will stand a great strain
They are formed into huge nets
which have a depth equal to that OF
the part of the channel over which
they are to be strung and with a
length Just eight miles short of the
distance across the channel.
A Maze of Steel Rings.
These nets, reaching to tho bottom
of the channel, are then placed at in
teryals OF from four to six miles, the
one at the mouth of the channel
reaching from the coast OF France to
within eight miles of the British coast
line. The next net. or No. 2, is strung
from the English coast across the
channel to within eight miles of the
French coast, and net No. Is strung
from the French coast TO within eight
miles Of the English shore. To pro-

The British with their steel nets are
capturing many of the Teutonlc sub
marines which are attempting to
tighten the blockade about England
and the coast OF France.
This emphatic statement by w. +,
Chown of Liverpool, England, is based
upon the some $50 submarines he has
seen in the harbors OF Southampton
and Plymouth, England, the toll OF
German undersea craft which has
been levied by the British since Ger
many inaugurated It's policy Of food
blockade by submarines.
Two Merchant U-Boats.
And among them are to be seen
the commercial submarines, the Bre-
men and the Deutschland" Mr.. Chown
declared. and he declares that the
papers of England have been per-
mitted by the censors to publish the
pictures of Captain Koenig and his
crew as their bodies were taken from
the captured submarine and placed
upon the docks, awaiting removal TO
q cemetery.
Chown is In Tulsa visiting friends.
Use Steel Nets.
Mr.. Chown, as assistant steward on
the great Cunard liner Mauritania
had an opportunity to investigate con-
ditions along the waterfront Of Liver
pool, and 1t was there that he secured
firsthand information as to the meth
DDS pursued by the English admiralty
In combating the blockade policy OF
the central powers. 1t was here that

gress thru this maze of nets II would
be necessary for a ship to enter at
the mouth between the English coast
and then proceed almost diagonally
across the channel to the space left
at the end of net No. 2, to pass on
toward the third net.
This, Mr. Chown explains, makes 1,
necessary for ships to spend seven
hours in passing thru the channel
which, before the nets were strung
consumed but four hours OF a ships
time.
Tho submarines which have been
captured have tried to dodge these
nets as best they could without COM
ing to the surface for observation pur-
poses. In some instances they have
evaded the first and even the second
nets, but none, according to an
nouncements Of the admiralty. have
gotten farther thru the channel"
Empty Traps WcckIy.
1t Is not the custom of the admiralty
TO clean the nets more than once q
week, Mr. Chown explained, and with
but few exceptions the crews of tho
submarines have been found dead at
their posts when tho nets were raised
and the entangled submarines set free.
The nets which are playing havoc
with tho submarines are built loose
and submarine seamen In striking one
feol no shock until the screw Is en-
tangled In tho net as II closes up
about tho undersea craft. Then It is
too late. and all that IL left the crew
Is death.

COPENHAGEN, via London, April
l6.-The reduced bread ration in Ger
many has now gone into effect. Judg-
ing from the tone of the press 1t APP
pears that the reduction has caused
great discomfort among workmen and
even threats to retallate by strikes.
Walkouts in Berlin were reported to-
day.
proposal, which was supported
strongly among the metal workers,
was to reduce correspondingly the
hours of work by one-fourth. Social
ist and army newspapers appealed to
the workmen to accept the depriva- =
ton in the same spirit as the soldiers
at the front and not to imperil the
soldiers by a reduction in the muni-
tion output.
The metal workers organization
then threw its influence against any
demonstration of dissatisfaction. No
open trouble has been reported.
