RELIGIOUS JOURNALS
JOIN FOOD CAMPAIGN

The editors Of the religious periOdi-
Gals of the country yesterday indOrsed
the program OF the food administFa-
ti0n, and arranged for their own ac-
tive participation in the work. A con-
ference of thirty-five delegates. meet

CHitve committee of three to represent
all the papers in their cooperation
with the food administration. and also
one of their members to have an Of
flee with that body and See that the
church papers are supplied with the
material they need.
This representative will be Oliver

The Continent" the organ Of the
Presbyterian denomination.
The executive committee il made up
OF John T Faris. Of Philadelphia. a
member of the Presbyterian Board Of
Publications. James a. Brady. of
Chicago, business manager of The

Censorship.

The Committee on Public Infor-
nation vanishes from the censorship
map. the army and navy experts
come to the fore. After two months
of EXPERIMENTATION We come back TO
exactly the same point from which
we started. and the system is placed
on the basis which the newspapers
advocated from the very beginning.
OF course, the recommendation of
Mr. CrCel to the members Of the
committee may not be accepted. but
it IS safe to say that they will be.
On behalf of Mr.. Creel it may be
said that he has exercised sound
Judgment in crasinE himself from
the situation, and placing the whole
responsibility squarcIy up to the
newspapers. lie has cast from his
shoulders a deal of worry, an awk-
ward burden of needless friction. He
has placed upon the newspapers and
press associations a responsibility
which will weigh heavily on them.
and which none Of them can evade.
Hereafter the whole question of
military information is in the hands
Of the War and Navy Departments,
who, it may be assumed, will not
err on the side of liberality, so far
as the newspapers are concerned
Nothing is to be printed in the way
OF military or naval news which is
not authorized by the military and
naval exrerts assigned to the job
There will be no more division of
authority, no more conflicting opin-
ions. The newspapers may here
after have reason to complain of the
harshness of the censorship, but GER
tainly not OF its ambiguity.
Mr.. Creel takes the position that
the new rules and regulations are so
plain and explicit that everyone.
even the greenest copy reader, can
understand them. They are so plain
and explicit, so comprehensive and
all-embracing. that they take in
everything conceivable about mill
tary matters. Doubtless they will be
amended as the experience OF the
war makes it advisable and noces-
sary. But for the present. as a basis
for further experimentation, they will
be sufficient.
Hereafter the Committee on Public
Information. probably will contine
itself to the task to which it was
first assigned-that of moblizing
news from the various departments
engaged in war preparations, and of
assembling it for Ruhqeation. 1t is an

ceivable that We MAJ be at war with
Germany after Great Britain and
France cease to fight the central al
lies. Therefore. it is necessary to pre-
pare upon stUp"ndous scale so that
We may carry on the war to A sue
ceSsful end even though We have no
allies. Now and then comments are
heard in the financial district that
within the next two years an army
of 100000 mgn may be lighting Ger
many under the American flag. 1t
may be necessary to increase that
army by another million or more.
Some have doubted our capacity TO
transport men and supplies sufficient
to maintain American fighting strength
across the sea. But the best OPINION
seems to be that We shall be able 10
transport the men and the supplies,
although it may be year before ade-
quate resources necessary for this
work can be secured by the United
States.
Within the next twelve months the
United States should equal at least,
and, II possible, surpass German eff
ftcicncy so far as raising and training
armies are concerned and providing
necessary munitions and other sup
plies.

Wagner and his folks live in the

one day Wagner saw an American
flag in a frame on the wall with a
picture of Mrs. Houlne's sailor hus-

told Mrs. Houlne that this was not
the proper way to treat an Ameri-

public which had been led to ex-
pect salacious developments in the
Pankow murder case was disap>
pointed Thursday afternoon when
Mrs. Henry Pankow on the stand
bravely swore that her relations
with Charles Borchert, whom her
husband is charged with Staying,
had never been in the least improp-
er, and that the sanctity of her hus-
bands home never Aad been jeop-
ardized by Borchert's presence
there. She admitted that her hus-
band had suspected Illicit relations
and had once accused her when he
came to the house at midday to
find that Borchert had preceded him
from the fields and discovered the
blinds drawn.
The courageous little woman re-
manned on the stand from 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning until 6 o'clock in
the evening when adjournment was
taken with her cross-examination
by Assistant Attorney General DAN
iel W Brennan still incomplete.
She did not falter in any of her
statements. Describing the shoot
ing she maintained steadily that
Borchert was rising from his chair
when Pankow shot him. She told
Of trouble which Borchert and her
husband had had over reports of
improper relationship
