No mat ter from which side of the ocean comes the news, it is asked that this information be withheld from publi- cation.

 Repeated and serious violations of the voluntary censorship have been at tempted to be excused on the score of misunderstanding or lack of positive information. Pains have been taken to make this restatement of neces- sary secercies so complete and explicit as to leave no room for honest ignor- ance or dishonorable evasion.

 "These requests go to the press without larger authority than the ne cessities of the war-making branches. Their enforcement is a matter for the press itself.
