The racers had caused extreme
anxiety in Missoula for five hours. for
no word had been received from them
after they passed through Alberton at
9:32 Sunday night. They spent more
than five hours in covering the last 30

More Announcements
of Movements.

Washington. July a9.-The moyemen,
OF American troops to France will, h,
carried on absolutely without publicIt,
II the present policy of the war do :.
partment remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some Of hi.
military advisors believe that no word
should have been published of the ar.
rival Of troops abroad. and It is prob.
able that this will be made clear 10 al
newspaper and press associations IN
forthcoming regulations under the vol.
.untary censorship to which the press
or the country has subjected Itself.
Assurances have been given both by
navy and army officials that disasters
VIII not Re hidden under the veil of this
censorship. and presumably under Tho
new regulation the American peop,c
WIN be expected TO understand that no
news Is good news in this respect.
No Exclamation Made.
No official explanation has been
made OF the reason underlying the dc.
cfsion to withhold from publicati ton an .
nonnccncHt Of tho arrival of troops.
1t Is understood. however, that Secre. J..
tary Baker believes that with large
troop movements in prospect az tho
new army or the national guard il
made ready for movement, it will be
unwise to cali attention Of the German
authorities to what is going on.
Army Men Back eaker.
The secretary is supported by some
OF the highest army officers and there
seems little doubt that the department
Is about TO establish a system for the
supervisors of press dispatc tchcs to rrc.
vent the announcement OF arrivals Of
troop transports in France.
The objection to publication OF troop
arrivals Is not expected to extend to
properly censored reports of the activi.
ties of the American troops in France.
It In possible I'm fact that a system of
regular official announcements by the
war department will shortly be inau-
gurated. Tho secretary is known to
have some such plans under consider.
