BLANK Date" in Press Messages.

Newspaper readers already are becoming
familiar with one phase Of war operations, that
Of concealment Of the origin of news dispatches.
Absence Of the name Of the point from which
the message is dispatched must not be construed
as exposing the authenticity of the information to
suspicion rather it should be accepted as better
proof Of the reliability Of the report. "Trihes
light as air" are of moment to the military as
well as the jealous mind, and for this reason the
government has asked the newspapers to be cir
cumspect in their publication of information that
might possess value to a possible enemy. This
does not mean that the quest for news has been
relaxed it is the keener il anything, but the pub
fishers Of the country have considerable respect
for their implied obligation to cooperate with the
government in all reasonable defense arrange
ments. Therefore, without in the least harming
the efficiency of the gathering and distribut-
ing function of the great press association of
which it is member The Bee, along with all
other self-respecting newspapers, cheerfully conf
plies with the request from Washington, and
Blank Date" appears in It's columns as an indica-
tion that important information is thus commune
Gated without divuging what is better concealed.

LAW SAYS PARENTS
 MUST SUPPORT OFFSPRING
Local Authorities Can Now Provide
 For Parental Support.

With the state law amended 1t is now possible to prosecute any parent of any child, no matter what his age or state of legitimacy. This will en- able local authorities throughout Con- necticut to provide for parental sup port where counties have been forced to take care of illegitirnare children in many cases.
 Several fragrant cases where il1egf- and under the then existing law 1t was impossible to punish the parents, came 70 light. One especially severe case Is recalled, that of man who raised seven children in America with wife residing across the ocean. He openly admitted living with the mother of the children here and said he had been told his wife was dead. The court vas forced to send all but the baby to a county institution. Under the new law it is possible this case will be brought up for test. The old law provided no measure for punishment in cases where the children were over four years of age.
 The new act broadens the existing non support law so that either parent of any child may be prosecuted under this statute if the board of county commissioners cannot come to some agreement with the parent and the child Is committed to the county home
