"is made to the world conscience
of the people. which must be the
guiding inspiration of our future
program"
FraternaI Orders Assist.
This message will be read
throughout the week at meetings of

be a meeting at Central High School

'CREEL THROWS
AWAY PENCILS
Censorship Bureau Empty,
Locked and Silent, Its
Work All Done.

So far as direct service TO newspa-
pers is concerned, the Committee on
Public Information last night said
good by TO Chairman George Creel and
Night watchman Barcages locked the
front door of the historic old residence
on Jackson place and threw the key
away. The seed planted in various
government departments is taking
root, but the mother plant. cut off by
the whirIwind of peace, has closed a
valiant though storm-tossed career.
The Committee, as the Creel De-
partment was generally known, sought
to aid the newspapers by placing rep
resentatives in each department for
the purpose of gathering and distrib-
uting news reports which soon were
dubbed handouts" Departmental Of
ficials, who feared for their Jobs. soon
learned that safety lay in the line of
giving all news to the committee rep
resentatiyes. As the newspaper re-
porters saw the day of the scoop
and the beat" fade away their wrath
accumulated and was reflected in the
halls of Congress.
Later, as tine war work spread
throughout the city, and the task OF
covering the field became more diff
ficult. newspaper men came to appre-
ciate the value OF a central distrIbut-
ing agent and reference room. With
out the lure of the exclusive story
in the offing, however, newspapermen
grew caIloused. and the feeling in
Washington is that better newspaper
reporting will result from the resump-
ton of the old order of things
The, passing of the committee does
away with a common night meeting
place where news Eatherers. who had
roamed the edges OF the world were
accustomed to gather and settle af-
fairs of state around the might desk
famous for its eight telephones all
kept warm by the queries Of the
SCo-odd Washington correspondents.

prevent him from Immediately put
ting into effect any plans he may
have for reorganizing the office OF

The general stated today that he
probably would have an announce
ment to make tomorrow with regard
to the contemplated reorganization.
II Is not expected, however, that he
will be able to announce the changes
IN personnel of the office for some
time yet
The generals remarks regarding
q more lenient censorship. made on
his arrival in this country, are not
fully understood by the other higher
officers at the War Department. They
don't seem TO grasp the particular
conditions TO which General March
objects. Sentiment IS almost unani-
nous for a more liberal censorship
which does not divulse military Sc
crets, but General Msrch's views on
specific conditions which may be I'M
proved are awaited with interest
The general said today that he
