On the evening Of the 22d, something
over 400 men were collected near the
church and lined up to be shot. The
work was done for a time by a hrins
squad which fired into the crowd with
more or less system, but this was too
slow. and finally . rapid-dire gun was
brought out and turned loose. OF
course, q great many were not killed
outright and lay groaning among the
dead. Now and then a German would
put ono out OF his misery by q bayonet
thrust Others settled their own
troubles by rolling themselves into the
nearby river. Altogether over 600 peo-
pie were shot down, but it Is hard to
get any exact figures yet After the
shooting was over. other civilians were
brought out and compelled to bury the
dead. Ny informant says that some OF
the scenes attending this duty were
quite a. poignant as the shooting itself.
for some buried their own fathers and
brothers. One man about to be thrown
into the trench was found to be still
alive, but the German doctor. after q
cursory examination. ordered him
buried with the rest. The man had
enough life left in him to raise his hand
in appeal. but the doctor shrugged his
shoulders and repeated his order. There
were many incidents. most Of them
horrible. The man who told the story
seemed still dazed and spoke quietly.

THAT CAMP DODGE CENSORSHIP.

A strict censorship of news has been
put in force at Camp Dodge since the
return from Washington OF the '.intel-
ligence officer of that camp where he
has been attending a school for intel
ligence officers"
II appears from the statement by
Des Moines papers that Major Polk
objected to the publication that an
order had been issued by the division
adjutant that waste at the camp must
be stopped. Also the Intelligence Off
GERS is said to see military menace
in the published news that certain
bodies OF men have been moved from
Camp Dodge to southern camps.
There has been and remains a united
purpose on the part Of the newspapers
to maintain strict censorship on news
that would afford military advantage
TO the enemy; that purpose Is agreed
with and subscribed 10 by the people
who have friends and relatives IN the
army; but there will be both protest
and resentment against censorship
that denies 10 those who have their
hearts and their hopes within those
cantonments the ordinary news Of
their sons and the movements that can
not be concealed from the enemy.
Strict bureaucratic censorship will
prove costly mistake in America as
II did in Britain. II has been tried
and is a failure. This Is country
vastly different from Germany. Its
citizens soItfy into a concrete mass
thru spirit rather than by an order
from any autocratic authority whether
in peace or in war. II is the demo-
cracy Of America that must and will
fight the war TO a successful issue.
The confidence Of the democracy is
the greatest strength of the country
and the most vital asset Of leadership.
It can not be held and increased by a
censorship which the average man
condemns as useless and which many
will assume is mainly in protection Of
the mistakes Of leadership.
Common sense censorship is one
thing. An imperial censorship is an
other.
