order from their usual channel of de-

There is no censorship of the press
in the United States, Congress having
refused to enact such a law. but news
papers and press associations have
voluntarily been. observing the re-
quests of the government.
Heretofore news dispatches leaving
France have been censored by the

or by arrangement with London. This
however, is the first instance in which
an executive department of the United

practiced only temporarily and that double

The foregoing form of organization Is
the standard one for all branches. The
