EDWARD C1COTTE, better known as
IL Sickety of the Sox, was a teammate and
pal of Nap Rucker and Ty Cobb in the old
Augusta days, around 1905. That was a
matter of twelve campaigns ago--nine years
before the Germans started for Liegc-and
that seems nine centuries back But Cicotte
today is the leading winner of the American
League, with thirteen victories to his credit
and nearly every start well pitched He Is
the main factor in the White Sox rise. And
two years ago he was supposed to be out
at the edge of things ready to knock off and
call it a career.
If the fans demand aggressive tactics
toward umpires by players, why is il that
Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb. Hans Wag-
ner, Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander
have been the big drawing cards of baseball
when none of them wastes any time in UNI
pirical abuse? There must be an answer to
this query, but what is it?
Three years ago, back in the summer Of
1914, the Braves were daily said To he

no strain.

the Reds this season, but in a quiet unob-
trusive way Mathewson has been holding
his club at higher level than il was known
for good many fleeting summers.
II has now been fourteen years since the
Reds finished as high as third, and in the
last dozen years they have finished in the
first division but twice.
This is a record Of trouble and disaster
well beyond the ordinary. But there is
good chance now that Matty will finally
land his clan in the first division and that
he may even finish just under the Giants
and Phillics, who are setting all the pace
that happens to be in sight. Marty has one
star pitcher, one or two good ones and a
club with the punch. The Reds are OUT
batting them all at present, and the ancient
wallop is still vital factor
Considering the depressing fact that the
Reds finished in tie for last place last sea-
son, it would be no light achievement to
hoist them back into the first division his
first complete season out.

country for the information Of Presi-
dent Wilson. The report will deal with

The most immediate need in both the
army and navy is for officers and men.
Neither service has been able as yet to
fill up to the authorized strength 1t
will be shown in the reports, however,
that every effort has been made to
overcome that difficulty. Additional re-
cruiting stations are being opened
throughout the country, and the Navy

cation with retired officers and enlisted

Results of Friction

The men from the foreign office were
displaced, although the old censors
were retained. The neutral press bu-
reau was shelved, except for the old
censors. There was created a so-callsd
military department of the foreign of
flee, under Col. Won Haerten, a keen and
wideawake man, and Baron Pletten-
berg, both of whom have an UNDER
standing of foreign viewpoints. They
were ruled by the conviction that neu-
trail correspondents themselves were
the-best judges of what they desired.
Col. Won Haerten provided facilities
for obtaining the economic as well as
the military news insistently asked for,
and acted on suggestions made to him.
He was able to send correspondents 10
active points on the front Nevertheless,
he or those above him retained the
same censors, who up to the present
have acted in an arbitrary manner in
explicable to neutrals.
For example, they frequently held
back the very Information which had
been furnished by the military depart
ment itself, and refused to pass ap-
parently innocent news Items publish
ed in the German press, which are pick
ed up and telegraphed from Holland,
Denmark or Switzerland. In some
cases one correspondents dispatch on a
given subject would be passed while an
identical article from another would
be held up.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-02-20
Privilege Is Nullified.

The military department succeeded in
having an order issued on all fronts
that correspondents were to be shown
everything there was to be seen and
that all possible courtesies were to be
extended to them. but the censors were
then permitted to blue pencil the re-
sultant dispatches. On the first trip
arranged by the department, two
American newspapermen flew over the
entire Somme sector i'll an airplane, in
accordance with the order to show cor
respondents everything possible.
Their reports of the battle seen from
the air were suppressed. The airplane
staff was brought up on the carpet and
all but cashiered. The incident was
closed when one correspondents story
was released while the others was
held UP and is still among the archives
at great headquarters. There were no
indicat tons of favoritism, however, as
is shown by the fact that the CORE
spondent whose account of the airplane
fight was held up succeeded in sending
another dispatch unchanged, which,
when presented in German by the cor
respondent of German-American
newspaper, was not permitted to pass.
These and countless similar cases in
dictate that genuinely earnest efforts
have been made by the German au-
thoritieS to put newspaper men in pos
session of real news. but their efforts
as often as not have been partly or en-

Speeding Up in the Navy.
Il also will be shown that while there
has been some speedfng-up Of naval
construction through the cooperation
Of ship builders having government
contracts and also through tho extern
sion Of labor hours at navy yards. radi-
cal measures will be necessary to ac-
complish important results in that d.
rection. Authority to commander pri-
vate plants and to suspend tho eight
hour law on navy contracts has been
included in the pending navy appro-
priation bill.
The Navy Department Is taking stops
to render its executive work more eff
cient. BY agreement with the War De-
partment thirteen additional rooms
have been transferred to the naval es-
tablishment in the State. War and Navy
building. It is probable that the navy
general board, the office of director Of
communications and the naval intelli-
gence office will be given new quarters
in the big building in order to place
them in closer touch with Admiral Ben
son, chief of operations, and the Secre-
tary Of tho Navy. They now are quar-
tered in private buildings at some dis
lance from the department

BY a curious coincidence It was a
man unacquainted with newspapers
who early in the war told the German
foreign office that it could hope to in
terest neutral. and specifically Ameri-
can, public opinion only II it offered
news of such value that American
newspapers would willingly pay for it..
Gradually officials in the foreign office
and elsewhere have adopted this view,
but oily to limited degree. The
foreign correspondents in Berlin are
still flooded with quantities of litera-
ture written in German by Germans
from the German viewpoint, while each
day news which the correspondents de-
sire to transmit is suppressed and must
find its way out by the medium of
German newspapers or by word of
mouth, to be distorted or miSunder-
stood.
As relating to the German press, the
censorship is very severe. 1t is the
more effective because there are no
blank spaces in the newspapers to in
dictate to the reader what has been
eliminated Protest has followed pro-
test against the muZzling of newspa-

been along economic lines.
