NO PUBLICITY
On Movement of American Troops Will
Be Encouraged.

Washington, D. c., July 80. - The
movement of American troops to France
will be carried on absolutely without
publicity if the present policy of the war
department remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some of his mill
tary advisers believe that no word should
be published of the arrival of troops
abroad, and it is probable that this will
be made clear to all newspapers and
press associations in forthcoming regula-
tions under the voluntary censorship to
which the press of the country has sub
jected itself.
No official explanation has been made
of the reason underlying the decision to
withhold from publication announcement
of the arrival of troops. 1t is understood,
however, Secretary Baker believes that
with large troop movements in prospect,
as the new army in the National Guard
is made ready for the front, it would be
unwise to call the attention of the Ger.
man authorities to what is going on.

CALLS 1T OUR WAR.
Secretary Lansing Emphasized the Peril
of German Imperialism.

Madison, Barracks, N. ", July 3o.--Ir
a speech here last night before l,70C
members of tho officers reserve
corps, Secretary of State Robert Lansing
emphasizing the peril of German impe-
rialism to the United States and the
world, declared his belief that the Ger
man people would not cast off the yoke
of autocracy until the physical might
of the United States democracies of the
world had destroyed forever the evil am
bitions of the military rulers of Ger
many" That, he added, is the only way
to restore the peace of the world. \
Asserting that the future of the
United States is at stake, Secretary
Lansing said that "if any of you have
the idea that we are fighting others bat
ties and not our own, the soon he gets
away from that idea the better it will
be for him, the better it will be for all
of us"
Imagine Germany victor in Europe
because the United States remained neu-
tral. Who then, think you, would be
the next victim of these who are seeking
to be masters Of the whole earth? Would
not this country with its enormous
wealth arouse the cupidity of an impov-
erished though triumphant Germany
Would not this democracy be the only
obstacle between the autocratic rulers of
Germany and their supreme ambition
Do you think that they would withhold
their hand from so rich a prize?
Let me then ask you, would it be
easier or wiser for this country single
handed TO resist a German empire,
flushed with victory and with great ar
mics and nayies at its command, than to
unite with the brave enemies of that EN-
pire in ending now and for all time
this menace to our friends?
Primarily then every man, who
crosses the ocean to fight on foreign soil
against the armies of the German en-
peror, goes forth to fight for his country |
and for the preservation of those things |
for which our forefathers were willing to
iie To those who thus offer themselves
we owe the same debt that we owe to
these men who in the past fought on
American soil in the cause of liberty. |
No. not the same debt, but greater one
It calls for more patriotism, more self
ienial, and truer vision to wage war on
Instant shores than to repel an invader
Or defend ones home
