WAR DEPARTMENT MAY FORCE
CENSORSHIP BILL
BY Basil NJ. Manly


and representatives of liberal views
are greatly disturbed by the intima-
ton that the war department will
take advantage of the panic existing
at the capital to procure the passage
of a bill creating a drastic censorship
of the press.
The war department has drafted a
bill creating a censorship and giving
powers of suppressing publications,
which these members of congress
characterize as bureaucratic in the
extreme and without precedent in
this country.
Its real purpose, they assert, is not
to guard against disclosing of i'm
pOTtant military information, but to
prevent criticism of the acts of mill
tary and naval officers, which has
proved so necessary and wholesome
in the past.
The Importance of protecting in
formation regarding the movements
of troops and ships, these members
of congress say, is well understood,
and if the war department does not
already possess the necessary power
in this direction they are ready to
confer it; but the bill drafted and
urged by the department goes far
beyond this and gives the power to
suppress any newspaper or other
publication that prints any informa-
ton, facts, rumors or news referring
to the armed forces Of the govern
tment or the means and measures
that may be contemplated for de-
tense of the country, except when
such publication shall have been duly
authorized"
Under such an act the war depart
ment would have power to fine or i'm
prison any person who published a
scrap Of information or an editorial
without first getting the war depart
ment's approval.

tive Heating of Colorado, would give |

criticize the conduct of the naval or
military authorities in any respect
whatever.
''If it had been in force during the
Spanish war we would never have
heard of 'ennbalmed beef. and thou
sands of our soldiers would have died
as a result.

ent time not one word could have
been printed about the recent hor-
rible brutality of tieing miitiamen to
gun carriage wheels in New York.
eve know that in peace the great
est force for the maintenance Of de-
cent government is the power Of pub
Hcity, and experience during the
present war teaches that the critical
powers Of the press are the greatest
promoters Of military efficiency.
'If Northcliffe had not been strong
enough, as no other publisher in Eng
land was, to defy the censorship and
print the truth about England's early
mistakes, the British army could
never have attained its present eff
cheney.
such an act as that proposed by
the war department, in my opinion,
is not only a dangerous blow at the
civil liberties of the American people,
but would serve as the greatest pos
sible obstacle to the successful de-
Velopment of our national defense"

VTGTLANTES HERE
IN BOOZE CRUSADE
Join Movement to Prevent
Liquor Lure to Men
in Uniform
SALE LICENSE MENACE

A powerful agency for enforcing the
law which keeps drink from men in uni
form revealed itself today with the an
nOuncement of a letter sent to Director
Of Public Safety Wilson calling his at
tenton to vice conditions The organiza-
tlon is the Vigilance Committee OF Phil-
adeIphia. made up Of prominent businAgs
and professional men. The committee has
been working under cover for several
weeks. investigating the sale OF drink to
United States army, navy and marine corps
men while they wore uniforms.
Judge j. Willis Martin Of the License
Court. announced that he would call
special session of the court to hear evil
dence of violations II necessary, and that
licenses would be promptly revoked II the
holders were found guilty. He made this
announcement on learning of the existence
OF the vigilance committee and the work
it is doing.
The committee came out into the light
with the letter to Director Wilson. The
committee says it IL cooperating with
United States Attorney Francis Fisher
Kane In the work OF enforcing the law
which prohibits liquor dealers from SELL
Ing to men in uniform.
Director Wilson IL asked ito impress on
the police the necessity of breaking up the
practice OF selling to men in uniform and
the imperative duty which devolves upon
them to arrest any and all saloonkeepers,
speakeasy proprietors or individuals who
sell liquor to soldiers or sailors in uniform" "
special point Is made of the fact that
there have been only five arrests for vio-
lating the law since II went into effect in the
selectve service bill of May IS. There have
been many more violations than these five,
committee members say.
Saloonkeepers have taken a less direct
way OF selling to men in uniform than pass
ing II to them over the bar, according to
those In charge of the investigation. A
favorte exasiOn Is the practice of men in
civilians clothes buying whisky or beer in
the street to soldiers and sailors.
Police either have taken no notice OF
this method Of breaking the law, or they
ignored it. according to committee members,
Director Wilson promised the committee
full cooperation when the letter was pre-
sented by Horace Geiger, chairman, and
Edwin NJ. Abbott, chairman of the legal
committee. lie told Geiger and Abbott that
the police would be warned to watch care
fully all saloonkeepers and question men
in uniform who appeared to have bought
liquor as to where they got 1t.
He also said he would like to have the
committees aid in looking into the general
vice situation, of which Secretary Daniels
complained Action on this has not yet been
determined by the committee 1t will prob
ably be taken up this afternoon at meet
ing in the Y. NJ. G. A. building on Arch
street above Broad.

WOMEN ROUNDING UP
FOOD-CARD SLACKERS
Miss Erma Grassmuck Heads
Missionary Band in Explain
ing Purpose

Rounding up Of women slackers who re.
fused to sign the Hoover food-saving pledge
cards was begun today by band of women
missionaries under the direction of Miss
Erma Grassmuck.
Many of the women refused to sign the
cards because they did not understand them.
Some feared that it bound them to
some onerous responsibility. Others de-
clined to sign on the principle that they
never signed anything without the ad-
vice of lawyer Others we're generally
suspicious and said they would help In the
food-saving plan without signing Many,
through the persuasion Of Miss Grassmuck
were led to see the matter in the right light
and signed cheerfuly
The missionaries started out after the
slackers at the same time the police were
collecting the pledge cards
An idea Of some Of the reasons given by
the women for refusing to sign the cards
may be gained by glance at the following
letter received by Prof j. Russell Smith,
chairman Of the food commission

member Of the committee, made its start.

"The Governments probe in this

deny that one has been made is
absurd. A report Of the investiga-
