w ar Department
Is Attacked for
Diverting News
Representative Walsh Includes
information Committee
in Criticism

Washington, July 10.-During debate
on the trading with the enemy bill TO-
day, Representative Walsh, Of Mas
sachusetts, criticised the Public Infor-
nation Committees account OF the sub
marine attack on the American eXpedi-
sion and attacked the War Department
for diverting and delaying delivery OF
cablegrams regarding the troops ad'
dressed TO The Associated Press.
Mr.. Walsh's remarks, as revised fol
the Congressional Record, follow in
part:
"As matter Of fact, as ! under
stand II, The Associated Press. that
great news gathering agency of our
country a body of publishers, loyal
every one. had a representative aboard
one Of the ships. and he sent dis
patch announcing safe and unevent-
full voyage. He. at least, apparently
was not awakened by the heavy gun
fire and roar and din of battle.
Later, on July 8. he sent second
dispatch, again stating there had been
no such attack as had been so glori-
ously depicted through the informa-
ton bureau. and, later on, when dis
patches which had passed our censor
with General Pershing's forces in
France reached this side by cable they
were diverted to one OF the executive
departments, inspected and possibly
censored do not know-and after
several hours delay were permitted
70 reach their destination.
These dispatches were coming here
from France. They had been passed
upon. as | am informed. by our officials
abroad. and yet they were diverted and
delayed, and permitted TO reach their
destination only after inspection by
some official in Washington. | doubt
the authority for such a proceeding,
but assuming II 10 be based on proper
authority, what purpose was served by
this programme Surely they would
not contain information useful TO the
enemy; and if they contained only an
account Of the supposed or real attack
on our ships. could not our officers IN
France be depended on TO take proper
safeguards?
During many weeks the press OF the
country has submitted 10 a voluntary
censorship, as it were. In my opinion
the editors of our American newspapers
can be relied on, and they are not so
eager for news as 10 betray our coun-
try, and neither are the correspondents
anxious to arouse unnecessary fears by
undue EN- Enlistment OF ordinary
events"

Sauerkraut Added
To City Kitchen List
ToPlease a German
Municipal Food Conservcrs Pass
Crisis by Conciliating
Garbageman

Sauerkraut is 70 be one Of the chief
products Of the Canning Kitchen under
the Williamsburg Bridge. This IS not
because Of any latent sympathy with
the Germans on the part Of the women
who are running the kitchen. but mere
~ concession 10 the friendship Of the
man who collects garbage on their
block. A garbage collector may not
seem important compared with some OF
the high personsges who are giving the
kitchen enterprise their patronage, but
any practical housekeeper knows how
much bother garbage collector can
make If he gets peeyish.
Miss Nell Johnson. who is in charge
of the kitchen. went home and cried
night before last when she saw the
wrecks Of cabbages which were dumped
upon her csnnery floor The produce
which the Mayors committee buys AZ
the Desbrosses Street pier is perfectly
good-some Of it-but it has 10 be sort
ed before il is fl 20 use. There were
six barrelfuls OF garbage instead OF
one waiting on the back stoop OF the
canning kitchen yesterday morning
when the collector came round.
Miss Johnson faced her crisis with
a smile. She scrutinized the collector
and found him of German appearance
and accent, and, in answer TO his in
ouries rs 70 what such a crowd OF
women were doing with so many dam
aged cabbages, she explained sweetly
that they intended 70 can some and
make sauerkraut Of the rest. She be
sought the sympathy and aid of the
collector. and he trotted off with mis-
six barrels, as pleased as Punch. So
the first crisis was passed, and sauer-
kraut will be for sale along with canned
cabbage next winter at the public mar
ket.
Sixty quart jars of cabbage were put
up yesterday, and four women in the
outer room were busy all day stripping
the outer leaves from the heads and
revealing the good white hearts
within.
Miss Johnson said they would BIT
busy with cabbage for several days
and that the kitchen could use fifteen
volunteer workers each day. All work
ers will be paid with time cards re-
deemable in canned goods.

cox. president Of the Board of Educa-
ton. to William H. Maxwell, Superin-
tcndcnt Of Schools, in support Of the

Nearly 100000 is 70 be spent in MAX
ing additions TO present buildings.
About 81 10000 is 10 60 for new play
ground sites.
The cost of altering and equipping
existing buildings Ito eliminate dark
and unsanitary rooms and 10 INT these
buildings for duplicate school orgaAl-
zation" will be about S2,000,0OO, he
saws. pointing out that that sum is less
than one-siXth of the entire amount.
THE S6,400,000 thus 70 be expended
for the improvement Of existing
schools" he says. will provide accom-
modations for about $4,000 additional
pupils and will az the same time extend
the new advantages thus provided 70
more than 100000 pupils Of these old
buildings who would not be reached at
all if the entire Sl2,4OO,0Oo were to be
expended for new buildings
Il is estimated, he continues. that IN
return for the entire expenditure &C
commodation will be afforded for lOO.-
600 children who had been on part
time and double session and provide
Tor the future 20 the extent OF $4,000
more. When these urgent necessities
have been relieved, he says. attention
will be directed TO the high schools.
