Washington, April ga nation.
wide advertising campaign of extra
ordinary proportions has been decided
upon by Secretary McAdoo as the
most effective means OF disposing
quickly of the $s,ooo,ooo,ooo bond is
sue.
So many patriotic offers OF aid have
poured into the treasury department
that practically every method of pub
licity will be at the governments dis
posal without charge.
Newspapers, magazines, street car
advertisements, even the billboards,
soon may be summoning every Ameri-
can to do his duty by subscribing.
Large advertising agencies have Of
fered their services, free OF cost, in
writing the advertisements.
Many newspapers have opened their
advertising columns with no charge.
Officials have welcomed such offers
and expect others. There will be no
general campaign of paid advertising,
It was said authoritatively tonight, nor
the incurrence of any items of expense
whatever that are not absolutely es-
sential, the administrations desire be-
ing that the issue may be placed at the

MORE SUGAR FOUND
STORED IN OMAHA
Warehouse Men Explain How
Some Of the Enormous Stocks
Were Accumulated.
LARGE PRIVATE SUPPLIES

Further search for sugar stored in
Omaha for speculative purposes yes
terday revealed that there are large
private stocks which would bring the
total above 100000 pounds, as told
exclusively in the Sunday Bee.
In most instances owners said the
sugar is being held for private con-
sumption.
John Bekins, manager OF the Oma-
ha Van & Storage company, said:
The sugar is shipped on one bill
of lading to its destinations and mere
ly held over here. The 100000 pounds
OF sugar shown in the assessors hg-
ures represents what we had on hand
at that time. We had considerably
more than that the first of the year,
but large quantities were shipped out
almost daily.
When the sugar is shipped out of
here it goes to other cities and to
local jobbers. When the sugar people
ship their commodity they have the
privilege OF four months storage in
Omaha
Officials of the Gordon Van & Stor-
age company, which had $4,000
pounds on hand when the assessors
figures were compiled, said that it
had all been shipped out.
J. J, Cameron, of the Omaha Re-
tail Grocers association, said: RE
tail grocers in Omaha are able to get
only one bag at time from the
wholesalers here, or, in some cases,
two, three or four bags, according to
the size of the retail concern"

Censorship Measure Branded
Assault on the Constitution

New York, April 23.--Resoiutions
declaring that the censorship pro-
vision OF the espionage bill ''is an as
sault upon the very foundation of
our free institutions, freedom of
thought and freedom Of speech have
been adopted by the Publishers as
sociation Of New York city, it was
announced
Senator's and representatives from
this state are requested to vote
against the measure. The resolutions
say;
There exists voluntary censor
ship suggested by the government
which newspapers are observing in a
most patriotic way. Every self-re-
specting newspaper expects to CO.
operate with its government in re-
framing from the publication of news
that would give aid to the enemy
Does any one believe there is in the
United States single newspaper
which would willingly print that
which should be concealedS Newspa-
pers that wilfully violate the spirit
Of censorship and publish prohibited
information OF military value could be
prosecuted under the law OF treason.
"The American people are entitled
to full, free and frank statement of
all that occurs. whether ii be good or
bad. They must have confidence that
they are getting the truth. There
can be no justification for a restric-
tion that abridges the liberties OF the

Mr.. Loomis read extracts from
speeches and soldiers diaries to prove
this. These extracts told OF hundreds
of Belgian citizens being lined up and
shot and Of village being sur
rounded by soldiers and then set on
fire, the inhabitants being shot down
as they tried to escape.
Extracts from the writings of a
German war authority said that bru-
tality and terrorism are absolutely
essential to success in war.
Mr.. Loomis illustrated Germany's
belief that she is God-chosen by quot
ing from speech of a great German
professor, who said:
Flower Of Culture.
"The war has demonstrated that
the Germans have been chosen from
all earth's people to rule. We possess
the necessary power and force. We
are the flower of earth's culture. Sub
lection to our guardianship Is the only
sure road to progress"
ut is almost impossible to believe
that any man could voice such be-
liefs," said Mr.. Loomis. 1--WE must
face these facts and realize that il we
make the mistakes of England in be-
ing slew to prepare, this same ruth
less toe may even overrun our own
country. We believe this is q most
just war. We believe that God will
guide us in il and we know victory
will be the outcome because Our cause
is just"
