Foolish Censorship

danger Of submarine attacks does matter the
mttee on public information headed by George Cree The
American public Is not entitled to know it. anyhow That
previous messages have disclosed the number Of troops
sent nor the individual units composing those expeditions
also cuts figure.
In all dispatches heretofore announcing the arrival OF
American troops IN Europe, not word has been printed
far The Herald has seen which could give information
Of military character to the enemy As matter of fact
Germany knew American troops sailing as soon
they sailed U-boats waiting for them 1t is pre-
