ate.

DEPAR TMENT

WASHINGTON. May s. - The
usual channels Of information
through which news Of American
relationships 10 foreign powers have
up 20 now reached the public were
closed Monday by Sec'y Lansing. An
order bearing his name was dis
tributed broadcast TO state
department officials instructing them
not 10 talk with newspaper men
even on insignificant matters of
fact or detail Henceforth. under
the order. the press viii not be
able 10 discuss the back ground Of
complicated international questions
with the experts at the heads Of each
bureau.
Only Two Sources.
The order says that hereafter all
news Of the department must be
given out either by the secretary
himself or by the newly created So
called bureau Of foreign intelligence.
Sec'y Lansing sees the newspaper
men twice daily. but does not pre-
tend to be able to answer the maze
of questions which every hour of the
day is raised by newspaper cables.
The meetings are becoming more
and more perfunctory.
The bureau OF foreign intelligence
is about month old and is charged
not only with supplying the press
but with supplying news to all Amer
lean missions abroad. Usually very
much behind the press cables be-
cause Of the need Of cooling and de-
cooling. the bureau. at the same time.
because of its relative lack Of au-
thority, confines itself mostly to
formal statements on news facts
and does not attempt TO provide the
background or explanation which
give international news its real
value.
Sec'y Lansing in discussing the
order tonight said that the present
situation was entirely too delicate
for the various bureau chiefs TO be
giving out information. He said he
recently had learned that some mat
tiers which he had not wished pub
lished had come out through news
papermen seeing various officers and
he did not feel that they should
expect to continue such visits under
the present situation.

after Democratic Leader Martin had
explained behind closed doors that
Pres't Wilson feared he would be
unable TO accomplish the ends de-

The provision as il now stands
would empower the president dur
ing the war when "the public safety

full to export articles to any "coun-
try named" Last week the senate
voted to authorize embargoes only
against through which goods were
found to be reaching the enemy.
Mondays action was preceded by
a five hours debate I'm executive
session during which, for the first
time since the United States went
to war with Germany, there was
vigorous and long continued criti-
cism Of Pres't Wilson. Republicans
led the attacks, which were not di-
rected at the presidents conduct OF
the war, but at his failure to con-
SUI, with members of congress about
the legislation proposed to enable
him to successfully carry it on.
