CreePs bureau full information regarding government un- dertakings withheld from regularly employed newspaper men, despite the fact the American press has known every military move of importance made by the Government and has carefully repressed facts which might be of interest to the enemy.
 This is the order:
 These representatives of the com mittee (the Creel committee) will be treated with confidence. There should be a clear understanding that they are not members of the press but government employees under oath, and entitled to all proper confidence.
 When chiefs of the bureaus and officers find it necessary to discuss with these representatives information which they believe should not be made public, they need only to give information to that effect. They should give freely not only informa- ton specifically requested but any information which the chiefs of bu- reaus and offices believe should be made public.''
 When Creel first started out to dis pense the news he hired a staff of "headliners" including poets and mag azine writers. The Creel News Ser vice has never been a success. The la dies and gentlemen employed by him have written many essays but they have not produced the news in which the public is interested. As a result MT. Greet has decided to make some changes in his system. It is probable that many of his numerous staff will quit the government payroll.
 Wallace Irwin, the versif1er, who was Creel's staff correspondent at the war department, has quit. His pieces were not used by the newspapers to any noticeable extent
 Creel has announced that hereafter he is not going to have his staff write pieces for the regular newspaper mon. It seems to be a waste of time, he has confded to friends.
