Men Drive Out Girls.

Oberlin, 0.-Oberlin girl students of
the sociology and economics lecture
classes, which have met heretofore in
the lecture room OF the Mems building,
made themselves too free with the
building privileges. and the classes
were requested recently to go some
where else by the irate residents OF
the building. The men said the girls
were apt to lounge around the lobby
and halls Of the building. Since dress
ing gowns and bathrobes are the chief
"at home" garb OF the building room
ers. they protested.

CENSORSHIP

1t is in no light spirit. assurediy no
shallow appraisement Of the big stake
involved, that the newspapers gener-
ally view with misgiving the imposi-
ton of a cable censorship.
Nor are they narrow in their view
of the officials who impose 1t. When
the smoke Of friction and irritation
clears away it will be found that the
solid newspaper interests back every
step taken by the government in the
defense of the national safety, in the
protection of our fighting forces
abroad, or about to 90 abroad.
II is only when censorship becomes
a cheap and arbitrary thing, an idle
and unintelligent Interference in what
it is in war times more of a public
function than a private business, that
newspaper men protest. They know
that in England. Lord Northcliffe had
an historic row with ofiicialdom over
the censorship, and it was not North
cliffe, all things considered, who came
out second best. He overthrow two
cabinets to bring about war efficiency,
and it was he who revealed Kitch-
ener's plumbers to the public and
forced him t o leave the a office.
If the cable censorship is reason
able and intelligent there will be no
complaint. Obviously. there a be
none. Success or failure in the func-
ton is entirely in the hands of the
censor himself. Treating the
papers as necessary evils is not the
way to put the censorship on a salts
factory basis. They are waspish Of
ten, singing and goading many Off
Gals who would like to see them
done away with. There is no more
conspicuous failure of the Wilson
Cabinet-no clearer indication. of It's
essential mediocrity-than its inabil-
ity to get along" with newspaper
men. In war times mediocrity shows
up like a sore thumb.
The President himself, and the en-
tire war organization. is the real loser
in these constant chickering's which
crop up between the newspapers and
the public f~unctionaries. A disgrun-
tied press is not a war asset, but a
war liability. 1t ought not TO be held
at arms length as a poor relation,
as a helpless Cinderella in the organi
zation of the country in a great en-
terprise. Such treatment is a boone
rang to those who would try to inn
pose tt Washington Herald.

THE answer of Mr.. Bryan is that in

arms TO defend their native land. But
where will the arms leap from? II is
a fatal delusion to dream that armies
can be created overnight and navies
built in day."
Mr.. Tanner declared that universal
military service was absolutely neces-
sary to secure defence OF this country.

vice at Special
Meeting
Preparedness Tested

Against Submarines Get
Particular Attention

Important questions pertinent to
the conditions now facing the United
States" was given as the theme OF a
general discussion at special meeting
Of the Naval Consulting Board here
yesterday.
The meeting was attended by prom
inent naval officers. headed by Rear
Admiral W. S. Sims, president Of the
Naval War College, and By representa-
tives of the leading educational, manu-.
featuring. industrial and scientific or
Plantations from as far west as Chi
cago. Altogether, about forty members
were present in answer 20 call OF
special committee of the board.
An authorized statement as 70 what
transpred at the meeting said It's pur-
pose was TO obtain information which
would be essential II the country were
involved in war or in any other great
national emergency Members Of the
consulting board, seeking 10 broaden
their point OF view, asked the invited
guests TO give their opinions on various
phases OF preparedness" The infor-
nation presented was carefully re-
corded and will be tabulated for fur
Their study.
The naval officers present discussed
freely difficult aspects OF their prop
lens. and in return received valuable
information from industrial experts. 1t
was said by one of the members OF the
consulting board that probably no meet
ing heretofore held has resulted IN so
much valuable information being eX-
changed for the good Of the country.

meeting: Captain W. 5. Smith, on spe.
cial duty at the Navy Department II

complete plans for the defence of
strategic points on the coast, but the
plans would not repel a hostile army
without men or rifles. General Goethals
declared.
In case of war he thought it would
be easy to raise 100000 men, but he
declared that they would be in no bet

His speech at the eighteenth annual
dinner Of the Society Of the Genesee
at the Fnickerbocker Hotel followed

men. many of whom took a pessimistic
view Of the situation Of the country.
The Canal Zone would be tough

said. adding that for his part ne
couldn't see why the fleet Of any hos
tile mower should try to crack it, any
how when New York offers such a
prize and Chesapeake Bay is entirely
undefended."
II was true. General Goethals said,
that the range of the mortar batteries

Frederic K. Coudert, international

a letter he has sent 10 Henry Ford,

situation which may cost the lives OF

The letter was written in reply to
certain pacihst literature of Mr.. Fora

reads:

kindly sent me on the question oil

successful in the great business you

"Has 1T occurred to you that your
propaganda, in delaying, obstructing'

death Of hundreds, perhaps thousands
Of Americans? This is not mere fancy
or philosophical theory.

"Tbe work of weil-intentioned but
misinformed sentimentalists sharing

country probably the loss Of haii

lists had resulted in lack Of artillery

uniform, all of which had to be sup
piled after the Germans had crossed

loss q the very best blood in France.
