Of course, the play has to do with the
cNtrication of the young woman from
her difficulties. and her marriage to a
railroad president produces complica-
tions which require the most skilhul
efforts of the playwright to bring Il
happy conclusion. That Conan and
Harris always provide casts of more

of great interest, goes without saying.

are present.

COPENHAGEN. August 20 The
Stats Zeitung of Munich. the organ of
the Bavarian government. publishes
a Berlin communication against the in
PRODUCTION of parliamentary regime in
Germany as opposed to the federative
character of the empire. The Stats
Zeitung declares that all the federal
states undoubtedly share the view ex-
pressed by the centrist speaker in the
reichstag who said that his party well
coined the chancellor's intention to
bring about closer relations between
the government and parliament. but it
must reject any tampering with the
federated character of the empire and
the rights Of the federal states.
The article says that the reichstag in
its present form. although without the
right of parliamentary domination. has
met all patriotic requirements complete
and more satisfactorily than the British
and French parliaments have met the
needs of their countries.

Secretary McAdoo came near breaking

the stand for over four hours before
the ways and means committee of the
House. During that time he was ask

the proposed big bond issue. and an

the Secretary were tired out.
Much of the information given by
the Secretary is of a character which
makes 1t confidential. but the commit
tee members explained to him that the
republican support accorded the pre-
vious bond measure might be lacking
unless the administration opened its
heart a little and took Congress into
its confidence to a greater extent.

Will Pay Half a Billion a Month.

That the four billion dollars for the
allies will be doled out at the rate of
half billion a month for eight months
which would bring it to the end of
the current fiscal year, was one of the
things the Secretary told the commit
tee. He said it is necessary to have
the money planned for in advance. so
that war plans can be carefully built
up.
There was considerable discussion of
the taxation proposals. Many members
believe it wiser TO subject the income
from the bonds to the straight income
tax rather than to the supertaxes and
other war and excess profits taxes.
Under the former 1t would be hard to
escape taxes. but under the latter plan
members believe that bondholders
could scatter their investments so that
no one could locate the real owner.

 COhSCRIPTING LABOR
SENATORS TAKE A LIVELY IN- TEREST IN THE STORY OF
 THE LABOR SITUATION

Washington Dec. 2G. - Labor troubles were blamed for much of the delay n the governments snipbuid- ing program, by Raymond B. Stevens. vice chairman of the shipping board, tesIitying today in the senate com merce committees investigation
 Since the United States went to war, Mir Stevens said, shipyards have lost a total of 536,992 working days by strikes and other disputes This. he argued, represents the work of 20,o00 men for a month Happily, said Mir Stevens, the situation is improving by reason of measures taken by the board 10 adjust differences wherever they have arisen.
 Senators took a lively interest in the story of the labor situation and the inquiry turned to the whole sub | lect of labor and it's position during the war Questions as to the wisdom Of conscription of labor for shipyards and other government work drew from Mir Stevens emphatic opposition | Co any work under prescribed condi- tions and government fixed wages.
 Telling of the boards work in es- tabHshing with the aid of the labor department employment agencies on the Pacific coast, Mir. Stevens said that with their institution also in the east the board hoped to obtain from other industries as many men as i' needs lie added that an appropria- l ton would be needed to provide hous- ing facilities at isolated plants.
 The number of men should act uaHy be more than doubled said he If we are to accomplish our full aims Roughly there are now about 15o.ooo men engaged in ship building. We could use from 900o00 to 25oooo more. Me are obtaining new men gradually now and hope to get them much faster later on
 Mir. Stevens described a bonus sys- tenn instituted in Pacific coast yards and said if it proved successful an extension to the east was planned
 The labor situation, the witness said. presents a problem too big for any one department to handle A centralized policy as to the relation of the government to labor during the war, he said should be worked out immediately.
 Asked if quibbing over prices had deloyed ship construction MT Stevens said he thought it had to some extent He told of the delay in closing con- tracts for fabricated ships while Ad-

THE CENSORSHIP NEXT

The next inyestisation congress vii take will naturally be the censorship By process of evolution congress would have reached it anyhow, in an- swer to the general demand, but since the most recent report of how a sub marine was given information of the departure of a ship loaded with American offkers and how the sub marine lay in wait Co sink her, ana vas only thwarted by the vigilance of the convoy of the ship. it seems there is something radically wrong.
 The censorship has deprived the American press of much of the news of the front, and that is what the American people want; but has th. censorship kept the facts of value to he enemy from the enemy?
 Tn American demand is not for nb- erty in reports from the front that will in even the most remote manner in- terfere with the efficiency of the American forces. But the American people would like 10 get more detailed information from the front, and that detail is not of value to the enemy, because the enemy knows much more about the situation than We do.
 The greatest story told since ere ation lies along that western battle front IL is q story that could be told day in aud day out for years, and still have new phases untold
 Our plans, our shipping news. our troop movements, and such valued in- formation to the enemy, should not alone be censored from the press re- ports but should be censored from the enemy The application of some common sense, some diplomacy. some artful camouflage, perhaps little de- ception. all in a medley of reason, would prevent the enemy from ob- taining information of value from this side
