and from them take renewed comfort and
determination. But we in tho scaports
must watch them pass without applause,
because, fcrsuuth some German spy will
not see them unless he Is attracted TO
the scene by American acclaim. 1t In
absurd and yet it is a natural aftermath
of tho silly. stupid censorship ana the
mania for secrecy which has settled down
