She had approximately 160 copies of Sec retary Lanes Flas Day Address-de- livered before the employees of the department of the interior at Wash ington on Flag Day-and she de cided that she would bring them to Fairbanks and sell them as she had sold others during the time she was working so indefatigably for the Red Cross relief at Nenana.
 Yesterday afternoon was chosen as the time and Exposition park as the place where she would dispose of the copies of the address, and she accordingly requisitioned Marshal Erwin and his automobile to help her out. She also secured the as sistance of Mesdames Herb Wilson and J. R. Bowen, and Miss Helen Criswell All four ladies costumed themselves in Red Cross habilaments, also decorated the car with cheese cloth and red crosses, together with flowers, the whole producing to very beautiful effect.
 When the party reached the park the ladies started selling the copies of the address, succeeding in dispos- ing of them within fifteen minutes. The result is that SAP was turned in last evening to R. C. Wood, trea surer of the Tanana Valley chapter of the American Red Cross.

 WANTED NOW

BERLIN, July 4.-DelayeO- What is regard as an unequivocal en- dorsemert of the agitation of social reforms Ci various kinds in this country was the action today of lead ing conservatives in calling on the government to promptly enact legis, lation layorirs lection reform. Nor is this the only sign that changes in various customs of the country are wanted, as il is a well known fact that the people are getting very tired of some of the laws under which they have been living for many years.

The tug of war was for S350 in prize money. In addition several thousand dollars are understood to have changed hands. So confident were the Russians that they could win, according to reports regarding the pull, that they put up everything they possessed in some instances.
 The Russians composing the team were all young men, the entire team weighing fully 200 pounds more than the Bloom team. Mr Bloom him self, who is now nearly siXty-fiye years of age, was the oldest man on his own team, but two more of those pulling with him were past middle age. The remaining three were young mer. Spectators who have watched many such contests in the past and who were present last night state that the tug of war con test was a case where age and eX- perience won over youth and strength,

Associated PresS)

MANILA, P. l.. July 5.-The Am erican women of Manila have orga- niZed for whatever services they can perform in the war. Under the lead ership of the American Womans league, an organization formed a few months ago to stimulate American knowledge of the islands and to pro mote American trade here. classes already have been formed in teleg raphy and automobile driving, and work is proceeding on these lines.
 The American nurses of the city, of whom there is a great number, have formed an organization which stands ready to lend whatever help it can in the war The government and army hospitals here have at tracted many nurses from the states. many of whom have settled in Ma nila and are married. Thus the nurses organization starts with d ldl St uuluDtl OI u dllltu SpttldllSI9
 Classes in first aid are at work, learning the simplest elements of war time nursing, and preparations are being made to train women as motor drivers and conductors of the street cars, that they may, if the need arises, take the place of the men of the United States, if they are called away from their tasks. In the Philippines their service in this capacity will not be needed, as here the Filipinos do such work, but it is the plan of the sponsors of this class to utilize Manila wo- men in American cities if the need arises.

GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES
 CENSORSHIP
Associated Prcss)

N-N'No''''tN 'HSJ
 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4.-(Dclaycd)- Since yesterday, dispatches to the Associated Press from France concerning the movements of American troops have been ordered sent to the war de partlnent for approval before being spread broadcast about the country. Some of the dis patches were returned to local Associated Press headquar- ters today with certain DOT tionS eliminated. The lack ot the proper machinery by the government to take proper care of the la6ge amount of material at habd and thus di- Verted, has had the effect of causing several hours delay with a number of important dispatches.
 Secretary oi War Baker gave assurance today that the new procedure IS only tempo rary and that 1t Is directed toward the preservation of the lives of American citizens. It is the result, he says, of the German submarine attack on two of the boats carrying ContlngentS of American sol dlerS to the battleflelds of France, and he also states that even greater precautions will be used in order to cloak the movements of American military, If they are needed.
 The government IS dis counting spy scares by prov ing that there are but few German spies i'll the country that are not now being care fully watched. The officials think that 1t Is but the natur- al outcome of the announce ment that General Pershlng had arrived i'll France, the general opinon being that the Germans were attempting to cut off the expected arrival on French soil of the Ameri- can troops. lta Is probable, they think, that the subna- rincs were ordered to cruise in squadrons across all the steamer lanes on the chance that they would encounter the American flotllla of troop and supply ships.
 ORDER RESCINDED.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5.-Secretary of war Baker tonight rescinded the order that all Associated Press dispatches be sent to Washington for censorship. In doing so the secretary de clares that censorship is not now necessary, the emergen- cy having passed.
