the columns OF the press, among its
ultimate consumers. This, OF course,
is not as II should be, but there is
at least one good reason for II. Sena-
tor Stone Is still chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee. So far
he is the only person in the country
who has done any serious blabbing.
And. of course, he cannot be allowed
to have any information.
When a dam springs a leak you
don't sop up the water from the
flooded area with blotting paper and
keep on sopping it up. You plug the
leak

tion of value to the enemy. one thing
is certain: The information must

various possible sources of informa-
tion. II the President insists on hav-
ing a blab peril. It will save him time
and trouble II he stops looking for 1t
among the newspapers of the coun-
try.
Personally I do not believe that
there is a bIab-peril. But I do know
that the power OF censorship which
the President demands will. II it is
given to him. constitute a gaG-peril
more dangerous to our cherished in
stitutions than the German army or
the German hell-boats.
II the government makes awful mis-
takes as 1t must (all the war govern

scrouged out OF the people is to be

knowledge Of these things can be
withheld from the American people
The blab-peril is small. The gag
peril Is great. But the whitewash is
the greatest peril OF all.

WEST MISUNDERSTANDS|
WILSON, SAYS LEWIS
Senator Says Red Cross Speech Has
Unfortunate Effect.

That Red Cross speech of President
wilson's on May II is stu causing
trouble In the West, Senator Lewis, Of
illinois, told the Senate yesterday At the
same time. President Wilson Itrote to
Representative Pou, Of North Carolina,
explaining that the speech had been ''in-
sincerely" misquoted,
The liberty loan and the conscription
law Will both be hampered IL the wrong
impression is circulated concerning the
speech, said Senator Lewis.
This misunderstanding concerning the
speech is prevailing too generally" said
he, and read pamphlet circulated in
illinois, attacking the speech, "If the
West really believes what il in this
pamphlet, there will be great difficulty
in obtaining its sons and its funds to
dght this war.
The idea is being spread that the
President said We had no grievance
against Germany. In the West they are
asking why should We give our chill
dren, our money. why should we bank
rupt the future, il We have no griev-
ance" The President has never said that
America has no grievance. He merely
said that America had no special griev-
ance aside from other nations; that we
were fighting this war for all democracy
and mankind"

road, said yesterday afternoon under
cross-examination by counsel for the
shippers at hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the railroads

Mr.. Rea contended that there would be
no lessening Of the estimate OF 500 600

The railroads placed themselves at the
disposal of the government with no ex-
pectation that cooperative operation

Chinese President Gusts
Premier Tuan Chi Jul

Peking, May 3.-President Ii Yuan
Hung today issued a mandate dismissing
Premier Tuan Chi Jul. The reason given
was that the entire cabinet already had
resigned and that without a ministry the
premier's position was untenable.
Immediately after the dismissal Of Tuan
Chiu Jul. the President appointed DR..
WI Ting Fang, former Ambassador to the
United States, to be acting premier. The
latter was authorized to organize new
ministry.
In some quarters the Presidents action
was heralded as bringing to an end the
nesltatlng policy with regard to a declara-
ton of war on Germany.
Since the decision is, however, in the
hands of the Parliament, the view pre-
walls in well-informed circles that the
action will not materially change the
situation.

Hungarian Cabinet Out,
Amsterdam Is Informed

London. May 23-The Hungarian caoi-
net, headed by Premier Count Tisza, has
resigned. according to a press dispatch
from Amsterdam today.
There have been rumors Of the resig-
nation of Count Tisza for some time. He
was the target OF numerous attempts in
both Austria and Hungary as the gap
between the pro-German faction and the
Austro-Hungary first" element has
steadily widened.
Hungarian patriots accused the pre-
mier of hindering their efforts to divide
the dual monarchy into two countries
and have steadily tried to bring about
his downfall.
