 Equivoca1 Declarations |.
 If we compare the pacifist litera- ture in England written by such learned men as Hobson, Russell, Dick inson, and Brailsford, and the corre- spending public statements of men such as Lord Buckmaster, Lord Bryce, Lord Courtney and Lord Lans- downe, with what may be said here, one realizes that our pacifist litera- ture is for the most part suppressed.
 One can therefore understand that the authority and intellectual depth of our will for peace does not yet make an especially deep impression on the enemy. Real readiness for peace must show itself in a more pertinent way than in general and equivocal declarations. On the Belgian ques- ton. for example, our progressl~. .,s must at last pass from equtvocal gen. eralities to the concrete before one has right to speak about the hand of peace being rejected.-(By the International News Bureau, Inc, Boston, Mass.)

The Entente does not really be- lieve that the peaceful majority sits in the saddle. Unfortunately, it can still point to only too many naughty declarations of protest in most influ- ential circles. It takes heed of the singular attitude of the intellectual leaders" of the nation, and follows, with interest the heathenish articles of the Christian ''Kolnische Volkszei- tung," which claim for a great expan- sive people the right to a Machiavel- Ian policy.
 It is almost incomprehensible that such wide circles of the German peo- pie keep on talking of nothing but the enemys Twill for war; and the German Twill for peace" without questioning whether that will for war is not precisely based upon the fact that German peace declarations are rendered intellectual by many war like interviews and speeches which wound the enemys pride. The ra- cially egoistic tradition of power in German public opinion is still too strong to win the confidence of for

MARCH HOLDS UP ADDRESSES
 FROM FRANCE

Washington, March 9-The War Department has ruled that the mili- tary casualty lists to be made public shall not include the emergency ad- dresses-the names and addresses of relatives or friends.
 The Committee on Public Informa- ton, of which George Creel is chair man, has refused to put out the cas- ualty lists through it's news chan nels unless they include the emer- gency addresses. The committee takes the ground that a mere list of names, without means of identification is not public information.
 General March, the new Chief of Staff, who recently returned from the front, arguing for a liberalization of the censorship, issued the order SUD- pressing the emergency addresses in the casualty lists yesterday, the sec- ond day of his occupancy of his new post.
 The news division of the Committee on Public Information immediately took issue with the March order, and the new Chief of Staff now finds himself in a sharp and stubborn con- test over what the Creel Committee believes to be an attempt to suppress legitimate news.
 For two days now no casualty lists have been made public. Reports of casualties continue to arrive at the War Department, and are offered to the Committee on Public Information in abridged form for dissemination through the regular news chan rels.
 The Committee on Public Informa- tion asked why the order had been issued. The reply was that General Pershing had asked for it. The com mittee inquired whether the mere fact that General Pershing had asked fer it made it right and proper to withhold legitimate news of casual ties from the American people.
 General Mccain said the publica- ton of the branch of the service and the emergency addresses revealed tha units at the front. The committed held it did no such thing, because the casualty lists, except in the case of the sinking of the Tuscania, never have revealed the units to which thu soldiers belonged.
 The Committee on Public Tnforna- ton has been. making a strong fight lately for wider publicity in all war activities, and it is not likely MT. Creel will recede in the present con- flict with the department officials ever the Pershing order.
 It is probable that Secretary of War Baker or the President will have to take the matter in hand and straight- en it out, and it is believed MT. Creel will be upheld, and the names and addresses of soldiers who meet with casualties in France will be made public as heretofore

planes will prove a very powerful, if not the dominating, factor in deciding the issue of the war. Much as they have already achieved. still greater things are confidently expected from the famous Caproni bombing ma chimes.
 Closer Unity Essential
 AS regards existing methods there are, however, two changes which, in my opinion are not only eninently desirable but imperatively necessary.
 The first is better balanced tone in the press, especially the Italian press.
 Undue optimism, when proved to be unwarranted, is apt to demoralize the public.
 Press censorship may be carried toe far. If only favorable news is pub- lished and unfavorable news prohibit ed, the ultimate effect is injurious. It is more than that; it is dangerous, for the people resent being misled as to the true state of affairs. They are strong minded and stout hearted enough to face facts, however omin- ous and disquieting the facts may be. Concealment merely breeds rumors, uneasiness and suspicion.
 The other change which seems to me most necessary is a much fuller degree of unity among all the Allies.
 America is moving very strongly in this direction, and in the Italian Sen- ate I have not only spoken in favor of this idea, but read extracts from MT. Lloyd Georges speech in which he deplored the lack of this union, not of arms, but of action. This absence of cohesion has unquestionably been responsible for several serious mis- haps which might. without exaggera- ton, be called disasters.
 The paramount need of the Allies at the moment is greater and closer co-operation. In the past there has been deplorable and perilous lack of forethought, provision, and co-or- dination of effort Cooperation is ab- solutely essential if the pressing prob- lens of tonnage-which involves Sc many important matters such as the transport of men, munitions, and food supplies-and of man power are to be speedily and satisfactorily solved. The fullest and best utilization of all the Allied resources, financial, mater ial, scientific, and human, will only be possible when complete unity is at- tained. It is the surest and shortest route to decisive victory and perman- ent peace.

WANTS TEACHERS TO HELP IN WORK
 OF DRAFT BOARDS

Hartford, March 9-Governor Mar gus Fl. Holcomb today called upon the school teachers of Connecticut to car ry out the request of Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder that they as sist local boards in charge of the se- lective draft in the transcription of occupational cards of registrants.
 Tt is of the utmost importance that the occupationaA cards necessary in the selection of nfen under the draft law be transcribed at the earliest pos sible moment" said Governor Hol- comb. This work is absolutely es, sential to the draft. Connecticut has not fallen behind in it's draft work in The past and am sure every persons ho can help will rally to the aid of the boards in seeing to it that there is no delay in getting this work done.
 Because of the imperative need of this work call upon the school teachers of Connecticut-so many of them as can devote time to this work

This spirit is particularly noticeable among the rank and file. Whatever may be the policy of the High Com mand, tke soldiers themselves hope the day may soon come for the re- sumption of offensive operations. The tone of the army is excellent. Conf dent of their ability to hold their own on the Piave, where, as all the world knows, they have the invaluaoIe sup port of their British and French AL lies, they await with impatience the hour when they will counter-attack and carry the war once more into the enemy country. We are already driv- ing the foe back.
 ItaIy's Needs
 But while the men are prepared to face with cheerful unconcern all the vicissitudes of war so far as these may affect them, there is always the pos sibility that they may be somewhat discouraged and disheartened if the civilian population-or in other words, their wives and children-are called upon to endure greater privations. The people are now on very severely re- stricted rations; they have been so, in fact, for some considerable time, ow- ing to the effects of the enemy's sub- marine campaign, which has been pursued with exceptional vigor in the Mediterranean. The great Inland sea has been, and is still, a favorite hunt ing ground of the U-boats.
 As the Prime Minister, Signor Or 1ando. pointed out during his recent visit to London, Italy's main require nents at the moment are coal, wheat, iron and steel. There is a certain shortage Of other commodities, but these are the principal. The difficult ties in this connection constitute part of the problem which Signor Crespi our Food Controller, is now in Lon- oon endeavoring to solve.
 Not only are our soldiers bearing their part manfully in this great con- flict; the civilians are also doing their share. Our munition factories, for ex- ample, are doing wonders.
 Working very much on the lines o1 similar factories in this country, they have done much to make good the heavy losses sustained on the Isonzc front in regard to equipment and mu nitions.
 Further, the construction of aircraft is being carried on with sleepless ac- tivity and on a huge scale, for in Italy the opinion is widely held that aero

Dillon's Motion Is Rejected
By Vote of 246

fRv Associated Press.l

London, July 30.-The debate in
the house Of commons today on the
IRISH question ended in the defeat
Of the Irish adherents. The motion
Of John Dillon. the Nationalist lead
er, condemning the governments
Irish policy, was rejected by a vote
OF 245 to 106.
Mr.. Dillon's suggestion that the
question Of Ireland be referred to
President Wilson was we'll received
by the house, but as former Premier
Asquith, pointed out. it could not be
expected the President Of the United
States would undertake such a task
now and the matter was obviously
one the British people would have
to settle:
The question was one of over
whelming import, Mr.. Asquith de-
clared, and he made a strong appeal
to the government to make another
effort, even at the eleventh hour. to
settle it.
The chief secretary for Ireland,
Edward Short. made a speech con-
ciliatory IN tone, but it did not con-
ciliate the Nationalists. They re-
ceived the warmest support from the
labor party, whose spokesman, Will
liam Adamson. member OF West
Fife, announced Mr.. billions motion
would receive its support, the labor
party believing the Irish question
could be settled by a generous meas
ure of home rule, and, he added, the
British people ought to grant 1t now.

in action. Weakness of the wing
fabric, which is said to have caused

of structural parts by excess Of steel

known to be some of the criticisms
raised against the American design.
Senators said today that Secretary
Baker had ordered an inquiry into
statements that redesigning the

caused by increased weight and
speed of the Liberty motor, the
