be found necessary to supplement that
censorship with additional reading at
New York in order to make certain that
every press or personal dispatch had been
read to prevent information Of value to
the enemy from leaking out.
Neither Secretary Baker nor Secretary
Daniels would express any opinion today

lief that the powers Of the commission

Washington. July 5.-Oficials who for
obvious reasons cannot be quoted. de-
clared today that if the governments ac-
tivities against German spies in the
United States could be published the news
would startle the world.
While not admitting they are convinced
that the spy system was entirely respon-
sible for the massed submarine attack
on the transport OF General Pershing's
expedition, it was said that the combined
forces of the state, war navy and justice
departments were working in cohesion
and Systematically uneVthing informa-
ton Of an amazing character and of great
value to the government.
1t was pointed out that even with the
strictest censorship of mails. cables and
press, the European Allies have not been
able to meet the situation to their COM
plete satisfaction. The problem is Of far
greater magnitude in this country. with
thousands Of aliens. an immense border,
and countless means Of outside commu-
ncation.
Secret service operations, necessarily
carried on under cover, are given little
or no publicity, and this fact. officials
say, gives rise to a surnise that little
has been accomplished 1t was pointed
out today that although the Allies never
have never maintained spy systems as
far reaching or effective as Germany.
even that country, despite her registra-
ton of individuals. her comparatively
small border line and her network Of Sc
cret police, has been unable to prevent in
formation of her military moves from
reaching the outside world. Germany's
realization Of that is shown in her abso-
lutte suppression of all mail and cable

Washington, July 5-Secretary Bak-
er today issued a statement explain
ing the operation of the war depart
ment censorship over cable dispatches
from France dealing with the Ameri-
can troops. saying that the present ar
engagements are temporary and soon
will be supplemented by method
that will not delay delivery.
"Rending the complete organization

France" the statement says. with
the arrival there Of correspondents &C.
credited to represent American news
papers. the temporary arrangements
by which cablegrams from France
dealing with American troops are
transmitted to the war department
here for distribution will be contin-
ued.''
It is In the interest alike of the army
and the newspapers to afford a GER
tain reliance as to the propriety Of the
publication Of messages from France.
The arrangement is temporary and
will be replaced speedily by more
direct method of dealing with this
news. In the meantime an adequate
force to deal promptly with the des-
patches will be on hand "a hours a
day and will deal with the dispatches
received in the order in which they
come so that no disadvantage will re-
suit in anything beyond the brief de-
lay in sending the dispatches to
Washington and back to the center of
distribution"
Work Of Reading
The work of reading over the press
dispatches is being done by the COM
mittee on public information, much
of it personally by George Creel, the
