Washington, June 9.-Convinced that
valuable naval information is reaching
the enemy, Secretary Daniels issued an
order to-day, at the urgent request OF
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
forbidding all persons in the naval SER
vice to discuss. except officially, even
among themselves or with the members
of their families, "any question relating
to the disposition, movements or pro-
posed movements Of naval or military
forces"
The department acted only after Off
GERS of the intelligence division had
reported that information, the nature
of which was not disclosed, had leaked
through to Germany.
Mr.. Daniels said he had hesitated to
issue the order for many days, not de-
string to hamper unduly officers and
others in the service, but that his mill
tary advisers had been very urgent.
1
any person in the navy had revealed
the plans Of the department, except
through inadvertence.
The order follows:
Navy Secrets Reach Enemy
The Navy Department has reason
to believe that information Of a char
acter most valuable to the enemy
and which might prove most disas-
trous to the navy has in some way
reached the enemy.
In view of the strenuous efforts
that have been made TO prevent the
dissemination of such information,
the department relieves that in prac-
tcally every Instance this has re-
suited from certain information be-
ing given in confidence to or spoken
in the presence of a close relative
or friend, who, failing TO appre-
ciate the gravity Of the offence. in

Washington, June 9.-President vii.
son, in a note to the Provisional Rus
sian Government made public to-day
puts the world upon notice that res
toration of the status quo ante as a
basis for peace would be unacceptable
10 the United States. This is the first
American expression of "peace aims"
1t is couched in very remark able Ian
guage, and will undoubtedly produce
profound impression upon owrld opin-
ion.
America is for neither indemnities
nor annexstions, says Mr.. Wilson, er-
cept such as will make a restoration OF
the status quo ante impossible, for the
locution status quo ante is now a Ger
man refuge and WAS the German source
of all the horror that has fallen on the
world.

Appeals TO People

'PPNe'o W NoP'N
Aside from its great political sig
nificance, perhaps the most interesting
fact about the Presidents note is that
it is addressed to the Russian peo-
pie, whose views on the great issue
, of keeping up the war or making
separate peace no ono here knows
and about which perhaps no one in
Petrograd is any better informed. II
has been the habit in Administration
circles lately to say that in reyclu-
tions, as in elections, we hear from the
towns first
! Petrograd has been heard from, or
part Of IL, against continuing a war 10
redress ancient wrongs" whatever
that means. This message is evidently
directed TO the great voiceless re-
mainder Of the country, which has been
misinformed about this real attitude.
as we'll as to the radicals in tho capi-
tai, whose idealism threatens the con-
! tinued partnership of the Allies.
Issues Much BecIouded"
II is understood here that the United
States has been represented in Russia
as in sympathy with the programme OF
the Socialist leaders who declare for no
territorial aggrandizement and no in
IDENTITIES. Apparently, in contradic-
tion Of this and similar misrepresenta-
tions, President Wilson early in his let
ter takes occasion to say that the OBJ
jects for which this country entered the
war "have been very much beclouded
during the last few weeks By mistaken
and misleading statements"
The note, though far from being
specific, aligns the United States with
the Allies in regard TO the general OBJ
jects of the war. The principle upon
which settlement should be reached is
laid down as follows:
'No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live. No territory must change
hands except for the purpose of secur-
ing those who inhabit it fair chance
Of life and liberty. No indemnities
must be insisted on except those that
constitute payment for manifest
wrongs done. No readjustments Of
power must be made except such as
will tend to secure the future peace
of the world and the future welfare
and happiness of its peoples.
As To Future Guarantees.
THAT covers in somewhat more
idesistic way and in language such as
the President loves to use substan-
TALLY the aim of the Allies as set forth
in their famous phrase restitution
and reparation," so often used by
them in regard TO terms of peace.
The third element in the familiar
Allied programme guarantees for the
future, President Wilson abandons for
his own favorite idea an international
guaranty of peace based upon a COM
binaton OF free peoples.
The language used implies that this
country stands with its allies in favor
OF free Belgium, a restored Alssce
Lorraine, a reconstructed Poland. prob
ably the return Of the Italian part OF

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB HAS
EXCELLENT POTATO EXHIBIT

It would be worth the while of ev-
cry resident Of this section, where we
have great abundance Of potatoes
this year, and high priced wheat, to
stop in front of the north window of
the Cedar Mercantile & Live Stock Co.
store, and inspect the tempting dis
play to be seen there of potatoes and
the various tempting dishes made from
them, in whole or in part. The display
consists of % different dishes, rang
ing from bread, which is composed of
one-third potato meal and two-thirds
flour, through the various kinds of
pastry to tempting candy.
The display is certainly revela-
ton to many people, and shows what
may be done towards the conserva-
ton of cerain articles of food which
are scarce by the substitution of 9th
ers more plentiful and lower in price.
Wheat is a product that can be
shipped to advantage to any part of
the world, while potatoes are not near
ly so well adapted to being transport
ed abroad; but if they can be made to
in large measure take the place of
wheat in home-consumption, CORES
ponding amount of wheat can be
spared for the use of our armies in
foreign lands and for sale to the ma
tions with whom we are allied in our
great struggle for human liberty.

MISUNDERSTANDING DEFEATS
OBSERVANCE LIBERTY DAY

Mayor Jones and doutless the city
council with him, supposed that the
members of the County Council of
Defense residing here would prepare
a program for Liberty Day last We'd
nesday, and Chairman Ryan of the
Cedar City wing of the Council sup
posed that the matter would be ar
ranged for and conducted by the mu
nicipal civil authorities. AS con-
sequence no program nor parade was
arranged for, and about the only ev-
idence noticeable that there was any
thing on out of The ordinary was the
fact that the business houses We're
closed, and the band gave concert
from the Library steps in the evening.
1t was through no lack of patriotic
spirit on the part of the people or the
officials, however, but was purely the
result of a misunderstanding Both
sides were waiting for tie other to
take the initiative.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE.

The American Eagle is not an al
together lovable bird. 1t is no night
ingale; it sings no sweet songs of
sentiment. 1t is no peacock; it never
struts or spreads its tail. 1t is no
dove, although it stands for peace,
wherever peace is possible. But the
American Eagle can fly higher, fly
straighter, fly stronger, and fly longer
than any other bird in the world! And
when its cold and calculating eyes
look through the souls of men and the
diplomacy of nations, when its fierce
beak and ugly claws become set in
righteous determination, and when it
begins TO flap it's majestic wings
then let all buzzards, wolves and rep
tiles BEWARE-for the American
Eagle means business.-George E.
Allen, Education Director American

can Bankers Association.
