 "The agreement must be restored. In no other way can there be les sening of the danger of future at tacks upon the ships that fire on sub marines or their captains saved from ignoble deaths in event of capture. It is a Fryatt horror that is being guarded against.

 Make Small Gains
 on Lines af Messines

New York, June 14-The Associated
 Press from cables received, makes the following summary of the news from the various battle fronts:
 The British troops in the region of Messines are continuing to make gains at various points against the Germans. who apparently are unwilling to give battle
 Both east and south of Messines, fresh advances by Field Marshal Haigs forces and the capture of important first line positions are reported. The new advances in the neighborhood of the hamlet of Gaspard, which lies directly east of Mes
 snes and between the Rivers Lys and St. Yves, and east of the Ploegstert wood form direct menace from both the north and the south to the important town Of Warneton and the road leading eastward toward Confines.
 ARTILLERY DUELS
 The artillery duels between the Belgians and French and the Germans on various sectors in Belgium, particularly near Steenstrate, Lizerne and Boesignhe con- tinue unabated, and doubtless these re-
 gions soon will be the scenes of impor- tant infantry engagements. From Sos- sons eastward there is still no activity by the infantry of the French and the Germans, but the guns of both sides are
 keeping up intermittent bombardments. RUSSIAN FRONT
 Along the front in Russia and Galicia quietude still prevails, except that occa- sionally the Germans and Austrians are making reconnaissances with small parties which generally meet with hard usage at the hands of the Russians In the Cau- casus region the Kurds have delivered strong attacks against the Russians but all of them were repulsed.

The committee issued this statement:
 While go per cent of the newspapers of the country are scrupulously obeying the rules of voluntary censorship, a cer- tain few are printing adaily information that may expose American soldiers ano sailors to deadly peril,
 Not only is announcement made of the passage of troops throufih the communities in which these papers are published, but the names and equipment are given in detail. also exact information as to the destination and date of arrival, together with speculation as to probable sailing.
 GENERAL PRESS TRUE
 Tt does not matter that the govern ments plans for concealment of troop movements across the water have failed in many particulars Absolute secrecy still remains the object of strenuous eff forts. The press of the country. reahz- ing the necessity, has pledged it's aid and cooperation. The one newspaper that breaks this faith undoes the work of all those that keep the faith Attention is again called to the specific and repeated requests of the government for suppress sion of news with respect to:

 DANGER TO CREWS

 The agreement of secrecy was shat tered last week by cable dispatches from France naming the Silversheil as the victor in a submarine combat, The act was unintentional and the government of the United States has since been assured that both the French and British governments will cooperate in the future for the pro- lection of our merchant ships and foi

The government Ind Ra;s oada.

The railroad problem has reach
ed the stage of cabinet discussion.
Washington dispatches indicate
that the discussion turns on the
question of government ownership.
In other words, it would appear
that the administration. while not
prepared to advocate the national
ization of the railroads, is looking
in that direction for a solution Of
our transportation difficulties.
Government ownership may ul-
timately commend itself as a ma
tional transportation policy. But
it does not now commend itself to
any large part of the population.
1t must inevitably be remote
goal, if it ever should become
goal. The reasons are manifold;
one of the most potent lies in the
difficulty. if not impossibility. of
raising the enormous purchase
price concurrently with the float.
ing of huge war loans.
Agitation for government owner
ship merely obscures the necessity
for granting the railroads immed-
late relief. It is as if the special
lists should allow a patient to die
for want of nourishment while
they were discussing the advisa-
bility of a major operation.
1t is admitted that the railroads
require additional revenue to de-
velop their full efficiency. 1t is
admitted that they should be re-
lieved of certain burdensome legal
restrictions. These are not prob
lens. They are simple questions
for administrative and legislative
common sense.

Sometimes we stumble over the bod

our hearts are humping wildly in our

we are lusting for blood.
