mcnt censorship Of all outgoing mail
from the United States. as provided for
in the trading with the enemy act, Is
now completely organized. The board
directing the censorship has established
branch Offices in New York City, the
Canal Zone, Porto Rico and numerous
other points. and careful scrutiny Of
all mails, cables and radiograms and
other means Of communication is made
TO prevent any information Of value

eral Frank A. Mcintyre, chief of the

The trading With the enemy act.
which provides for the establishment
Of the censorship board, vests the
board with authority 20 pass on all
mail. cable. radio or other means Of
transmission passing between the
United States and any foreign country
or carried BY any vessel or other
means OF transportation touching al
any port, place or territory OF the
United States and bound 20 and from
any foreign country"
In describing the operations Of the
board Postmaster General Burleson
has made the following statement:
"The censorship Will be conducted at
New York, the Canal Zone, Porto Rico
and such other places as may be
deemed necessary, and with as little
interference with legitimate trade
correspondence as is compatible with
such examination Of the mails as is
considered necessary in the public in
terest.
"A censor's label on the envelope
does not imply that the writer or the
addressee Of the letter is under sus-
picion, but only that its examination
is thought to be necessary In safe
guarding the governments interest.
When it has been established that the
letter is innocuous it is sent forward
with the least possible delay
The postal service with foreign
countries is considerably disorganzed,
ewing 10 infrequent and irregular
steamship service and 20 other causes
due to the war, and it must be borne in
mind that the delayed delivery Of let
ters may be due TO this disorganiza-
ton rather than TO the censorship"

Convent Admits Man
In Uniform to Catch
A Man Intruder

The creak and seruneh or stealthy
footsteps in the snow sounded before
dawn yesterday morning in the seclu-
sion Of the courtyard OF the Convent
Of the Dominican Sisters Of the Per
petual Rosary. which occupies an en-
tire block on West street, at Irapha
gen Street. West Hobokeu. Behind IFS
6fteen- foot stone wall the convent or
dinarily slumbcrs In utter silence from
vespers 20 mathis. The nuns, of whom
there are about eighty. including SIS
ters. novices and postulants, never
leave IT, No man enters IT.
Sister Mary was awakened ny the
prowler IN the courtyard and went 10
her window Something was moving
beneath q window Of the chapel. Sister
Mary peerod into the shadows and Saw
a vague outline appear at last upon
the stained glass window which family
reflected the lights beyond the wall
II was the head and shoulders of a
man.
The sister realized in a flash that
she was watching a burglar and IN
the same instant came the rccollec-
ton that among other treasures IN the
chapel were holy vessels Of gold valued
at $4,000. She tiptoed TO the door OF
Mother Superior Imelda and tapped
d!scretely. A few minutes later the
Mother Superior was calling the po-
lice by telephone.
Patrolman Burke was sent for, and
despite his masculnity received n
cordial welcome within the precincts
of the convent. in the basement
Burke found a man crouching before
an open drawc whose contents lay
heaped on the floor beside him. Burke
pounced upon him and after a brief
struggle took him 10 the police sta
ton, where he was charged with un-
lawful entry. The prisoner said he
was John Phillips. Of Greenville, Penn

Says Teachers
Faced Discharge
For War Scruples
Speaker at Protest Meeting
Alleges Threat by Board
Of Education
By BRIGGS

Teachers who are conscientious oo-
jectors TO war were threatened with
dismissal by officials Of the Board Of
Education, according to statements
made at meeting held at the Peoples
House, East Fifteenth Street, last
night, TO protest against the dismissal
Of the three teachers recently ousted
from the De Witt Clinton High School.
Max Schonberg. the chairman. said
that when the committee on high
schools last wee. secretly questioned
six teachers in an effort to find dis
loyalty, one OF the teachers admitted
that he was a conscientious objector
and that the members of the committee
thereupon declared he would have to
resign or be dismissed.
"This teacher was a Yankee and said
he had done nothing to hinder the
progress Of the war" said Mr.. Schon-
berg. "He declared he was patriotic
and would aid the government except
that he himself had conscientious OBJ
jections 10 fighting. The members of
the committee told him he couldn't be
loyal and be conscientious obiector
at the same time. They informed him
he had better resign because other
wise he would likely be dismissed"
Dismissed Teachers There.
More than 1000 9ympathzers with
the teachers who crowded the hall
greeted the statement with evident dis
approval Of tho committees attitude.
Samuel ID. Schmalhausen and Thomas
Mufson, teachers who were dismissed,
and Henry X. Linville. president Of the
Teachers Union, attacked Dr. Franklin
II. Giddings, Arthur S. Somers and Dr..
John l.. Tildsley, of the Board of Edu-
cation, for ousting the teachers.
Mr. Mufson said he had been dis
missed because he had been "mulish"
in refusing 70 answer questions at his
hearing 81 refused 70 answer questions
as TO how ! stood on the war and what
I thought Of President Wilson, because
these questions did not relate 10 the
charges against me-" he said. "Dr.
Giddings thereupon said that | was
'mulish' ard that for this reason alone
he would vote for my dismissal"
Mr.. Schmalhausen read from & book
OF love poems by DR.. Giddings. and said
the poems were fully as ardent az the
poetic sentiments published by one Of
the dismissed teachers who was
charged with circulating improper lit
eraturc.
Declares Discipline Undermined
Cornelia Cleveland. teacher who
vas transferred from the De Witt Clin-
ton to the Bryant High School "for the
good Of the service" declared her OK
porience showed that the boards dis.
misSals and transfers, instead of max
ing for discipline, had tended 10 under
r1inc Z.
She said the pupils in the classes 10
which she had been transferred were
not inclined 10 regard her seriously
because they thought there was some
thing queer about her" and that the
teachers at tho new school were in
clined 20 regard her with difhdenee.
John Whalen, chairman of the high
schools committee, said last night that
the question Of a conscientious OBJ.
lector's fitness 10 teach had come be-
FORE the committee, but he did not re-
memoer that any one had been threat
ened with dismissal.
