 Selden was summoned into court Wednesday night by Sergeant Theo- dore Johnson, being stopped as he was delivering load of flour for Philip Harris, Hartford dealer, to the Naughton bakery on Main street. He cid not appear in court yesterday and warrant was issued, bond for re- lease pending arraignment being fixed at $10O and given by Board man.

WATCH LOAN BONDS
Washington Financial Institutions
Will Make Report Each Week.

AT a meeting of the Washington
Clearing House Association yesterday
afternoon a committee of five was ap-
pointed to cooperate with the Fed
eraI Reserve Bank at Richmond in
keeping a close check on the progress
of subscriptions to the liberty loan"
iu the district.
The committee Is made up OF one
representative for the national banks
of the District, one for the trust COM
panies, one for the savings banks
enc for the stock brokers, and one
for the bond houses.

eral National Bank, represents the ma
tional banks: Corcoran Thorn, vice

and Trust Company, represents trust
companies; B. F. Saul. president of
the Home Savings Bank, represents

at the close of business each week
through this committee of the aggrs-
gate amount OF subscriptions taken
by them for the liberty loan bonds
said Mr.. Poole. THE committee,
through II. II. Mckee, secretary OF

of Richmond, thereby keeping the
bank Informed as nearly as possible
as to the total subscriptions each
week until June 10, the date that the
books close"

Listing the Men

The plans Of the Government look
to the rapid listing Of the men in
this country who shall be available
for military service under the con-
scription law about to be passed.
Taking a census Of a group Of men
numbering z or more per cent Of the
population is a great task. In this
case the work must be done without
the delay incident to the placid
census methods Of ordinary times,
To avoid the extraordinary injustice
of leaving out men who should do
their share, the registration requires
to be done with scrupulous accuracy
More human fates hang upon its
correctness than upon any work ever
yet done among US by the census
takers
Labor so great, so rapid, and SC
vital to those it affects would per.
haps be beyond the peace-time facul'
ties Of the Government. In war il
is different. The Government is re.
quired to be strong, and, 10, it if
strong. In this particular case the
people want the compulsory service
census taken promptly and properly
and by their support make it posi-
BILE that the census shall be so taken
Popular support can facilitate the
work in many ways. Plenty of per,
sons will volunteer to work as regis
trars, in enrolling the men. The
wider duty will be for all men con
ceivably required for the lists: they
should help the process by reading
the directions published in the news
papers to prescribe what they mus
do. Still other persons, in fact the
whole population, must serve where
needed in settling questions Of age
and competence to serve, in expedit.
ing the appearance Of the men to BE-
registered and in firmly opposing
attempts at fraudulent avoidance Of
duty.
In many other ways persons, eaci
for himself, may think Of ways tc
help along the census. The MAR
thing is that all should help under,
standingly and with a will to make
the work prompt and accurate.

And we want to play II fair'
So to earn our need of glory

The 1917 cereal crop will be sold At

Secretary Lansing's Proclamation
If The Times needed any vindica-
ton Of its position regarding the
censorship proposed by the Admins
tration, that vindication is fully fur
nished by the pronouncement Of the
Secretary of State in his promulga-
ton Of the following order:
In connection with the organ
ization Of the Division of Foreign
Intelligence the Secretary desires
to restrict the giving OF informa-
ton to the press to those state
ments made by himself and to the
statements Of the division. It is
desired that all officials of the de-
partment hereafter refrain from
discussing matters OF public busi-
ness with press representatives.
ANY requests for information
should be referred to the division
in room 20b. In order to avoid
questions or conference II Is de-
sired that this procedure be ap-
piled even to Insignificant mat
tiers OF fact or detail.
The, existence and enforcement Of
such an order during the Spanish
American war would have silenceC

munition shortage, every syllable o.

Applied to the Secretary Of state'l
own office it was because Of thu
newspapers that the Government
was able to counteract and put Al
end to the assurances Of Mr. Bryan
to Mr.. Dumba that we did not meal
what we were saying to Germany.

ness, but the public demands tn
