THAT MANDATORY
CENSORSHIP

During the debate on the censor
ship in the House, Congressman Webb
announced that he had just received
a message from the President declar-
ing that the proposed censorship was
of mandatory importance to the sue
cess of the war. Being asked if that
message was brought by the Post
master General, who is always snoop-
ing around" Mr.. Webb did not an
swer. We have no doubt that the
censorship is of mandatory import
ance to Mr.. Burleson and to other
members of the administration who
do not relish having the truth told
about them and their associates; but
that it will serve any useful purpose
in carrying on the war may well be
denied. The war will not be won by
concealing manifest defects in admin
i~stration or manifest failures in the
field and on the seas. The war will
be won by calling out the best that
there is in the brain and Drawn of
the country. If disasters are to be
cloaked, as they have been in Eng
land under a censorship, the courage
and the genius of the land will have
no occasion to know the extent Of the
embarrassments which confront us
and to exercise themselves to over
come them.

THE INyARIABLE FORMULA

War legislation as proposed by the
administration contains an inyariable
formula. 1t matters not what the
subject under consideration may be,
whether it is ships, munitions, IN
increase of the forces, the conserva-
ton of food, or any other matter,
there are two constant factors which
may be found in every bill which the
administration draws or fayors. These
are a huge appropriation of money
and an unprecedented authority to the
President or some of his subordi-
mates. The administration bill to pro-
vide for food-carrying ships to offset
the loss by German submarines car
ries a billion dollars of expense. In
addition, it clothes the President with
absolute power over American ship
ping of all classes and over competi-
tive ship production. This is not nee
essary for the purpose in hand; but
it apparently is necessary for the pur-
pose which is in the Presidents mind.
What is that purpose? Why is he so
insistent upon all this power?

FOR PROTECTION OF
MINER-SOLDIERS

Young men in the West who have
recently entered upon mining claims
that require actual working of the
prospects in order to prove title will
be interested in a measure that has
been introduced by Congressman Bur-
ton L. French of Idaho. Mr.. French
proposes that all men who enlist in
the army or navy, and who have pre-
viously made entry on mining claims,
shall be exempt from assessment work
during the period Of the war and for
one year thereafter. The enactment
of such a provision into law will pre-
vent much hardship being inflicted
upon young entrymen who might be
conscripted and lose their claims be-
cause they were not able to be pres
ent and work them. Representative
French will endeavor to secure favor
able action on his bill before the draft
law is put into effect.

A destroyer is usually out for four or

two or three days while coaling and

The Americans take their turn with
the British boats in all routine work
of patrol and convoy. The work. al
though largely routine, is interesting,
and the Americans have never yet
found time hanging heavy on their
hands. The lookout must be constant
and eyes must be trained to an unbe-
lievable degree of keenness The young
Americans take jealousy to this BUSH
