Great Interest Centers
in Meeting of U. S. War
Mission With Britons

London, Nov. 20.-None of the
numerous allied war councils which
have occurred in the past three
years have occasioned the same in
terest as to-day's historic meeting of
the American war mission and the
British war cabinet for Tightening
the links that chain the Anglo
American war efforts.
The scene is the dingy old resi-
dence in Downing street, which has
served the prime ministers of many
generations as both home and office
and the room is the council cham
ber where the cabinets meet and
where the destinies of the empire
have been shaped since the days OF
the American Revolution.
Lord Reading, the lord chief Jus
tice, will preside with Andrew Bonar
Law, British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and Oscar II. Crosby, as
sistant secretary of the American
treasury at the table beside him. The
military and naval heads of both
governments and officials represent
ing other departments of war work
will be grouped together Premier
Lloyd George planned to be present
for the purpose of answering ques.
tions. The general work of the
meeting constitutes the taking OF
stock of the resources and needs OF
both countries and, to some extent
of the continental allies.

Censorship Is Lifted
at Camp Hancock

Augusta, Ga. Nov. 20.-The censor
ship ban at Camp Hancock has been
lifted. Major Stephen o. Fuqua. of
the Regular Army. newly appointed
chief of staff, succeeding Lieutenant
Colonel Edward l. King, who is away
with Major General Charles M. Glenn

the camp Sunday. and upon learning
or the situation, took steps to remedy
1t. This morning Captain b. C. Thigh

newspaper correspondents and told
them the camp was open to them.
When Brigadier General f.. w.
Stillwell was appointed acting COM
mander of he division, succeeding
Brigadicr General w. G. Price Jr.. he
ramed Captain J. A. Griffin espionage
officer. General Stillwen and Cap

news of the camp other than that or
"a social or athletic nature being

Wilson Will Insist
on Concerted Action
to Bring Victory

Washington, Nov. 20.-President
Wilson is more convinced than ever
that the only way to win the war is
through absolute cooperation of al
lied effort. Colonel House has full
powers both in London and Paris to
represent this belief of the President
in any way which he thinks the sit
uation demands.
The attitude of the United States
will be that absolute unity of action
must be attained by no matter what
means. The United States, it was
pointed out here to-day. has already
deferred to the consensus of allied
judgment in many economic and A.
nancial matters, so far as the con-
sensus of judgment could be deter
mined. 1t is expected that Colonel
House will allude to this in insisting
that some of the allies will have to
give way in submitting their military
and naval judgment to the decisions
OF centralized agency of control.
This has been the contention of
General Pershing since he went to
France and 1t will be insisted upon
anew now by Colonel House.
Considerable confusion seems to
exist in many official quarters as to
Just what the powers and functions
of Colonel House may be. 1t was in
dicated at the White House and State
Department, however. that Colonel
House represents President Wilson
as the chief executive officer of the
| United States, just rs Lloyd George
and Premier Clemenceau represent
the chief executive officers of Eng
land and France in their own per-
sons.
Constant touch is maintained be-
tween Colonel House and the White
House. The President 1t was stated
to-day, remains mp to late hour
each night himself coding and decod-
ing the messages which come and go
almost constantly between him and
his special representative.
The President gave further evil
dence of his efforts to speed up wal
work in this country. He appointed
! Daniel willard. president of the Bal
| timore and Ohio Railroad, who has
! been chairman of the advisory COM
mission of the council of national
defense, to be chairman of the war
! industries board.

Movie Machine to Record
Work Of Recruiting Agents

Sergeant John Blake, in charge OF
the publicity department of the Unit
ed States Recruiting Station of the
Harrisburg district, at 325 Market
street, Is preparing plans to secure
from the War Department an official
photographer and moving picture op-
orator for the local recruiting sta
ton. The idea of the publicity officer
is to have this actual pictorial record
of all the activities of the district,
and to use 1t as q means of adver-
tising and record. Sergeant Blake
stated that in some cases the re-
cruiting officers have trouble when
there are anti-recruiting demonstra-
tions in the remote parts. of the dis
trict which they visit. He stated
that It would be we'll to have movie
photographer who could get a film of
such troublemakers. and have it for
evidence. He said that another valu-
able point of the idea would be that
patriotic demonstrations. parades and
mass meetings could be filmed ant
shown in moving picture houses to
advertise the recruiting propaganda
Sergeant Blake's idea is to have
this branch of the activities of the
local office self-supporting, as the
films could be leased to some film-dis-
tributing corporation after they had
served their purposes in the employe
of the recruiting officers.

Northcliffe Intends
to Return to U. S. as

London. Nov. 20.-The Globe

clilfe in which he says he will return
to the United States as head of the
British mission after the allied con-
ferences and. a trip to the various
fronts. If the British government de-
sired. he would devote much of this
time to the question of aircraft pro-
duction in the United States, adding:
my great fear is that the Amer
lean output will exceed the possibili-
ties of training officers and me-
chanics. Americans are willing to
make any type of engine we ask, in
addition to their own Liberty en-
gine.''

Boy Under Fifteen Sorry
He Cannot Get in Army

Recruiting officers this morning re-

American patriotism really is. A
boy under fifteen, who resides some
where in Harrisburg" came march
ing into the recruiting station at 1926
Market street this morning with a
light % caliber rifle over his right
shoulder, and strobe up to Lieuten-
ant Long. Where do you get ex-
amined for the Army?" he asked. He
was told he was in the right place,
but looked to be about three years
too. early. "Hully gee," he said. bel
ligerently, IF youse could see me
snipe sparrows with this gun, you'd
be glad to give me a chance at the
Germans" Recruiting officer stated
that they did not doubt that, but that
the regulations would not accept a
lad of even fifteen. The boy went
away very much disappointed, but
seriously considering the idea of join
ing the boy scouts and training" for
the next war.
