WASHINGTON. April l0.-There is
a great element of people of German
stock in the United States who are not
being directly heard from in reference
to the break with the government of
Germany. But it can be said that this
class of people, who have either been
born here of German parentage, or
who have accepted this as their
adopted country, will be as willing to
rally around the stars and stripes, in
defense of America as what we term
the real Yankee.
A Tulsan's Views.
One of this class, who is a we'll
known resident and business man of
Tulsa, has been patriotic enough to
put his views in writing. as will be
evidenced by the following letter.
which is self-eXplanatory and com
mandatory:
Tulsa, Okla. March 80, 1917.
"Hon r. A. Chandler, Member
Congress, Washington, ID. c.
Dear Sir:
This state and district is just now
being flooded with pacifist trash from
the emergency peace federation of
New York, signed by David Starr Jor-
dan and others, and requests every
body to get busy calling meetings, agi-
tating and pressing all sorts of public
gatherings TO pass resolutions along
pacifist lines.
"They enclose pacifist resolutions
doubtless to cover the common ori-
gin) by the movers of this movement,
and asking for all kinds of agitation
along these cringing, cowardly lines.

They especially ask we bring all pos

exception to the rule that people are

courage and stamina who never
feared danger when it came.

During this day, when the organized
societies of pacifists are besieging con-

AROOSTOOK LABOR
County Faces Serious
Shortage
Special Meeting for Sunday with
Free Trains

Bangor. Me, July 4.-On account Of the
greatly increased crop acreage in Aroos-
took county this year the labor situation
is considered to he very serious ques-
ton. especially as quite a large number
of farmers sons have enlisted, and it is
feared even with the great assistance
that will undoubtedly be given by the
Junior Volunteers the farmers must take
hold and help themselves in this matter
as the labor heretofore available in har-
vest seasons will not be obtainable this
year.
The situation is SO serious that mass
meeting of farmers has been called al
Houlton next Sunday. the Sth This meet.
ing will he address by Governor Milliken
the Aroostook committee on food pro-
ducts and conservation, and others.
To enable as many farmers to attend
this meeting as possible the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad is running two spec
ial trains at its own expense one from
Fort Kent and the other from Van
Buren,, TO Houlton. and will also carry
all farmers on these trains free of
charge who desire to attend the meet
ing, permission having been obtained
from the Public Utilities Commission to
do SO. Farmers wishing to avail them
selves Of this opportunity must get a
ticket from a member of the commit
tee.

scheduled to arrive at H6ulton about

City Quiet Again

TIE city WAS absolutely quiet today.
No trouble Of any description was re-
ported and the fire department which
was Kept busy constantly Monday
night and all day yesterday fighting
fires in the Negro districts, did not re-
ceive an alarm. Residents of the city
spent dreary Fourth of July for the
most part, remaining in their homes.
More than 1000 Illinois National
Guardsmen patrolled the streets in ev-
cry section Of the city under strict or
ders to shoot if necessary. The city's
Fourth of July celebration was called
off and all saloons and theatres re-
manned closed. Militiamen prevented
citizens from congregating in any sec
ton of the city. Strong detachments
of soldiers under command of Adju-
tant Gen. Dickson. guarded the stock
yards and large manufacturing plants.
The only excitement of the day was
the finding of three Negro bodies bad
~ mutilated in Cahokia creek, bring
ing the death list to 81. Civil author
tiles began the work of collecting and
preparing evidence to be presented to
the grand jury when it convenes on
July 9.
Only two Of the 81 men arrested Mon
day night on charges of melting to riot
are being held. The authorities say that
the ringleaders Of the mobs are known
and that action will be taken against
them at the proper time. They antsci-
pate no further outbreaks.
Governor Lowden. who was here last
night and early today, has promised the
Chamber of Commerce a full investiga
tion Of charges of ineffciency and lack
of discipline against the militiamen who
were here during the height of the riot
ing.
Estimates were made by the authori-
ties today that more than half of the
city's Negro population has departed.

Washington. July 4-Since yesterday
dispatches to the Associated Press telling
Of the American troops in France have
been diverted by official order from their
usual channel of delivery and have been
for his approval
First Y. S. Censorship
There is no censorship of the press in
the United States. Congress having re-
fused to enact such a law, but newspa-
pers and press associations have volunta-
rily been observing the requests of the
government Heretofore news dispatches
leaving France have been censored bv
the French officials or the American CEN
sor with General Pershings expedition,
or by arrangement with London This.
however IS the first instance in which
an executive department Of the United
States government has seen fiji to divert
dispatches from their designated destina-
ton and has withheld them for official
inspection.
In this case no notice of the govern
ments intention was given and the first
intlmation of the pra ctice came when.
last night, dispatches addressed to the
Associated Press, New York. by its Paris
correspondents were BY official order de-
livered to the secretary Of war in Wash
ington. who. after inspecting the dis
patches, delivered them to the Associated
Press bureau here
Other dispatches, addressed in the same
way, We're delivered to the secretary of
war here today and. through the commit
tee on public information, delivered to the
Associated Press in Washington with
certain portions eliminated.
The volume of matter diverted to Wash
ington was very large and no adequate
provision for its examination or censor
ship had been made. The war depart
ment was overwhelmed, and consequent
delay Of hours in important DISPATCHES
resulted.
Assurance has been given By Secretary
Baker that the new procedure is TO be
practiced only temporarily and that dou-
BILE censorship will be short lived.
