of such publications in country where one
person in every fifteen sixteen was an
alien enemy could not be controverted or
safely ignored.
In sef-defence the necessity for action
was clearly indicated and Colonel Cham

government that the entire Hearst publicity
and propaganda machinery be suppressed so

the story goes to a desire, pending the Presi-
Dental election campaign in the United
States to refrain from taking step which
might be misinterpreted south of the inter

in the form of suggestion from overseas

On October 10, 1916, the British govern

facilities Of transmission of news to the
International News Service and all the
Hearst papers
On November the French government
followed the lead of Great Britain and
placed a complete ban on the Hearst organ

Months before the Hearst services were
interdcted in Great Britain most of the
Canadian newspapers which had sub
scribed to the l. N. S. had dropped out and
SO did nearly all the Canadian correspond
ents of the service. This was due mainly
to disgust with the Hearst organization
Immediately after the condemnation Of the
l. N. S. by the British government other
Canadian newspapers withdrew, until only
two Canadian subscribers remained

a HONTREAL, July 1.-William Ran
VI dolph Hearst has been making some
progress in his ''peace offensive"
which aims to secure removal Of restric-
tions imposed by the British Empire and
by France upon the International News
Service, the Hearst newspapers and other
interests of the same unlovely brood. Great
Britain and France have withdrawn from
their advanced positions for strategic rea-
sons and Canada has been obliged to make
d slight, although not very Important re-
tirement, in order to maintain policy uni
form with that of its allies. This retirement
to more strongly fortified ground was made
necessary by q determined, shrewd effort to
outfank Canadian opposition to the Hearst
tribe
There have been agencies secretly at
work which are powerful and not easily
denied, the same influences which were re-
sponsible for the lifting of the embargo by
Great Britain and France against the In
ternational News Service The concession
just announced, by which the l. N. S. is
allowed once more the privileges of the
Canadian mails will be of only minor ad-
vantage to the Hearst organization at the
present time. 1t does, however, bring.
Canadian policy into strict conformity with
that of Great Britain-namely, that the
Hearst services should be permitted to use
those means Of communication over which
effective supervision be exercised. The
postoftcc authorities of all countries and
at all times have effective means of su-
pervising the mails.
No other privileges have been restored
to the Hearst interests by the Canadian
government. The concession applies only
to the /. N. s., and not to the Hearst news
papers. Moreover, use of Canadian land
telegraphs is still denied the Hearst news
papers are still excluded from the
Dominion, and the Hearst magazines are
allowed to circulate only after each issue
is approved by the Canadian press censor.
Additional proof of Hearst's conversion and
the gcnuineness Of his present professions
of loyalty to the Allied cause are certain
to be required before other concessions are
even considered. 1t is not expected that
there will be any further extension of
privileges to any of the Hearst agencies
now or in the immediate future
Hearst and all his works were placed
under official restraint by the Canadian gov
ernment in November, 1916 This measure
was the result of a general insistent de-
mand, prompted by resentment of the sour
rilous Hearst TRADES against Great Britain
and the aggressvely antagonistic attitude
of the Hearst press to the Allies, their war
policies and aims.
Colonel Chambers, chief press censor for
Canada, acted cautiously. But the proof
was overwhelming and Canadian opinion
was unanimous and irresistible that Hearst
should be suppressed. Police authorities
throughout the Dominion reported that the
Hearst propaganda dangerous, espe-
cially in sections where there was a large
foreign element 1t was pointed out that
the Hearst papers not only were hostile
In tone, but that they also contained ad-

r TP the stairs OF the new building at the
corner Of Fifth avenue and Fortieth
street, in New York, a pretty girl
pressed her laughing and painting way.
She painted because the stairs were many
and winding and her arms were filled
with a score of silver trophies. She
laughed in sheer joy of sacrifice gladly
made.
Behind her came a chauffeur, burdened
as she was, with a score Of silver trophies.
His breath was spent, too, with the climb,
but he did not laugh. He wore, indeed, a
melancholy visage. The chauffeur thought
the sacrifice too great that this girl was
making for her country.
Mrs Frank vanderlip, wife of the IA

Marion Hollins with the dread Of being
rated out Of the amateur class Of sports
women before her, was one Of the Ameri-
can heroines Of the war. II the United
States Golf Association ultimately deter
mines that by exchanging her trophies for
War Savings Stamps she has accepted
money for play and automatically become
a professional, most Of the Joy OF her glori-
Gus out-of-doors life will forever depart.
She will have lost the pleasure Of meets
and matches with her friends. She will be
pitted against gainful players, strangers,
who will regard her with the cold glances
cast upon intruders. She will be an alien
on the links. The hurt Of this is keen, the
wound deep.
But while the United States Golf Asso-
citation is considering whether this act was
one of girlish impulse. of careless sports
manship, or Of superb patriotism, Miss
Hollins, the best aIl-around sportswoman
on Long Island and one of the most popular
girls in New York's most exclusive society.
pursues her patriotic way. She rises at
half past six, and after quick cup of cof-
fee dashes to town in her runabout She
has work to do for the Red Cross.
Arriving at eight, the hour at which
shopgirls begin work, she, too takes her
place behind a counter at the Red Cross
packing rooms at No. al West Seven
teenth street. She wears long blue denim
apron and white cap with Red Cross on
its band above her forehead She asserts
socks and pajamas and surgical dressings,
while salesgirls around the corner on Sixth
avenue spread gloves or hosiery before a
purchaser. And when the working day of
each is done the muscles Of both ache
with the long strain upon them.
Through the mind Of the salesgirl as she
works drift problems of home economics
Of making both strained ends meet.
Through the mind Of the girl who works for
her country's freedom limp bruised memo
ries of melted trophies, pallid fears that
she may have won her last cuR. Yet she
drives out the gloomy procession with a
toss Of her head Her eyes are Tesolute.

GERMAN AMERICAN
 BOYS ARE LOYAL

Washington, Sept. 2S.-When Gas per Metz, of the state of New ter sey, himself 8 veteran of the Franco Prussian War, was notified that his son, William, fighting with the American army, had been missing since July 15, he expressed nothing but pride that his boy had been able to serve So well the cause Of de- mocracy. Regarding his own serV- ice In the Franco-Prussian War, Metz said it was an endless re- gret to him that he had fought in the war which helped Germany gain power for the present conflict.
 This is not an isolated case. The lis: ot casualties from the battlefields of France, containing an abundance of names of soldiers o German de- scent, is lending a new dignity to citizens of German birth in this country. On July 4, in patriotic parade held in New York, a float labelled "The Pillar of Fame" and containing the names of 25O Ameri- can soldiers of German blood who have been killed in the war raised a storm of enthusiasm among Amer . cans of all nations and races. Since then the papers daily report not merely the casualties Of Americans -of German blood but 2lso deeds of heroism on the part of soldiers and officers of the German race. It all proves that when once citizen of German origin Is convinced of the justness of a cause, he figts for it with the greatest bravery and de Votion.
