NEWS CENSORSHIP ON

Secretary Lansing has ordered that
no officials shall talk with newspaper
men. even on minor matters. All
news must come from him or from

Even interpretative matter from ex-
pert chiefs Of the department Is
barred.
oficials OF the department have
made the charge on more than one
occasion that not all newspaper men
were to be trusted.
While claiming that his action was
taken In an EFFORT to help the press
get the news. Lansing In the same

tion to discharge any employe vio-
lating the new muxxle regulations,
The secretary faced large group
Of correspondents. who protested
against his order. prohibiting any
one In the department except him
self and his official bureau from even
talking 10 newspaper men.
Lansing listened Slandly, saying
that he welcomed criticism and re-
peating his assertion that his object
was to open news channels. II was
pointed out that while opening one
channel. which he personally con-
| trolled, he had closed others, pro-
viding easy means OF suppressing all
news OF the country's international
relations. except that which Il pleases
him to make known.
There was no effort to conceal the
fact that he has made himself the
absolute dictator OF news OF the re-
lations OF this country and all for
eign nations. He denied that he was
paving the way for secret diplomacy
but his statements all showed clear
ly that machinery for the malnten'
ance of such secrets has been com
pleted.

to make s65. 900. 900 loaves-repre-
senting 1000, 900 bushe1s of wheat.

held her up and ordered the crew
to take to the boats.

THE OLD DOMINION CLUB
Famous Old Rowing Organization
Already Planning for the Coming
Season on the River.

The Old Dominion Boat Club of
this city is planning to make the
coming season one of the best it has
ever enjoyed, for which arrangements
are already under way. The club,
which is at least fifty years old, at
present has membership of about
sixty, which it is expected will be in
creased t. at least one hundred and
twenty. five by the time the rowing
season opens. For many years dur
ing it's history the Old Dominion was
credited with having the crack row
ing club in all the Southern country,
when Capt. Albert Bryan, Judge j. K.
NJ. Norton and others took an active
part in the regattas.
The Old Dominion is member Of
the Southern Rowing Association
which was formed to promote and
control rowing in this section of the
South, which, it is predicted within
the near future, will be recognized as
one of the leading aquatic organiza-
tions of the Southern country.
At the second annual meeting of
the association, held at the Raleigh
Hotel in Washington on Saturday
evening last, E. E. Carver, of the Old
Dominion Club was chosen treasurer
The other officers are: w. E. Craw-
ford of the Virginia Boat Club Of
Richmond, was elected to the presi-
dency, succeeding Judge Frank Dris-
coll of the Aeriel Rowing Club of
Baltimore; H. A. Gillespie, of the
Arundel Boat Club, Baltimore, vice
president; J. r. Manuel, Baltimore,
secretary.
The regatta committee consists of
j. S. Douglas, Jr., Old Dominion Boat
Club, c. Wood Rolph of the Ariels,
Herman Stoll of the Arundels and P.
B. Williams, of the Virginia Boat
club
Representatives were present at
the annual meeting from Baltimore,
Richmond and Alexandria. Tile re-
gatta for 1917 was awarded to the
Ariel and Arundel clubs jointly, of
Baltimore, last years regatta being
held under the auspices Of the Vir-
ginia Boat Club 1f Richmond.
