Lid Goes On
In Censorship
BY c. s. ALeERT
Especial star-Bulletin Correspondencs.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 49,
Hawaii viii join other sections Of the
country in being made amenable u
the lid. Although Ear removed from
the prospective scene OF naval opera,
tons en- the Atlantic no chances are
being taken. Those responsible for
conducting the war against Germany
have started in to do q good job and
will overlook nothing that might con-
tribute to success.
Hence. instructions have been is
sued 10 carefully inspect all cable
grams destined for hawaii. All such
communications must be written IN
plain English and contain no hidden
meaning. All those appearing sus-
picious will be refused transmission.
Ali codes have been eliminated until
further notice.
This naturally makes communica-
ton with Honolulu trifle more ex-
pensive. Liberal utilization OF the
codes reduced expenses quite bit, es-
pecially in all commercial dispatches.
The postal authorities now have an.
nounced that No more sailings OF
transpaeific ships will be made public
until further notice. As consequence
il will be hereafter impossible for
those sending letters destined for
Hawaii TO figure out the exact date
on which their mail will leave this
city. In the past this could be done
to the precise minute indicated Tor
closing the Hawaiian mail.
This will have the effect Of bother
ing correspondents here who seek to
communicate with their people in ia
wall. Their only course will be 70
sit right down, write their letters and
toss them in a box. The future VIII
rest entirely with the postoffice au,
tnorities. The net result viii be q
matter of hit or miss. There may %
a mail that night. or not for week.
The action taken is in line with that
taken some time ago relative to YES
sells sailing from Atlantic coast ports.
All NEWSPAPERS were requested to dis
continue the publication of ship move
ments. The government now has siis
pended issuance Of the usual iists'
showing the sailings from botn easl.
ern and western ports.
The matter Of more rigid censor
ship in the near future seems cel'
tain of accomplishment. AT present
the newspapers are using facts unuer

PATRIOTIC POEM
INSPIRED BY war

Now that America has loosed the
long.fettered war eagle, pat .ofic poets
are springing up like mushrooms 10
the night. Many, however, have writ
tan credible verse before the United
states went to war with Germany.
H. w. Kinney, superintendent OF pup
lie instruction, has received from z.
Up. Claxton, United States commas
sioner of education, q few samples
of inspired rhyme which have come
to him. OF one, Columbia Clax-
ton wrote to John F. Howard, the
author, as follows:
~ wish to thank you for the copy OF
YOUR poem, Columbia. | have read
il with very great interest | sincere
ly hope that you will find means OF
publishing IL in such way as to give
IT the widest distribution. ] wish IL
might find its way into all the schools
of the country"
Here is what Howard Of Silver Lake
Assembly, New York, wrote:
COLUMBIA
(Tune: Aud Lang Syne)
Behold our loved Columbia
Arrayed in natures best,
The sunshine decks her radiant crown,
The morning star her breast;
With Flag of Liberty enwrapped-
Bright folds that Peace has furled-
Emblazoned with the light OF truth
And hope of all the world!
Pacific sings her golden song
Upon thy sunset shore,
Atlantic's wave of Liberty
And Union everomer;
From all the earth thy pilgrims came
And to thy glory bow,
The diadem of human hopes
Endazzling thy fair brow!
Columbia, with sword Of peace,
One battle yet remains,
Awake and drive the god of war
From off the ocean plains;
Let anguish cry no more to Heaven
And countless millions moan,
Awake, Columbia, awake,
" And flaming Mars dethrone!
The glory of all nations rests
On peace and on good will,
The mighty Brotherhood of Man
Is eartIl's great power still:
Shine, sacred orb and flame of love,
Till Old Night, backward hurled,
Sees man befriend his fellow man
And Justice rule the world
