Anti AiIisd Tees of Certain Pubfi-
cations Whils condsmnins Others
for Fair Criticism Of Conduct Of War
Washington, Nay 25.-A reply by
Theodore Roosevelt to Postmaster
General Burleson in their controversy
over alleged discrimination by tho
postoffice department in treatment Of
publications, presented to the senate
today by Senator Poindexter, Of Wash
ington, charged that the administration
had played for and against different
newspapers and magazines and that
President Wilson was directly re-
sponsible.
The administration, Mr.. Roosevelt
has declared, has condoned the anti
allied tone of certain newspapers, in
cluding the Hearst papers. while con /.
demning those who had made fair
criticisms of the administration in it's
conduct Of the war.
Since the war began" said Colonel
Roosevelt "the administration has used
the very great power of the government
over the press to stif1e honest criticism
'of government inefficiency or incom-
petence. while condoning prot German
and anti-ally and -anti-American agita-
tion in certain powerful papers. which
defended this ineftictency and miscon-
duct, and 1t has sought from congress
a great addition to the great power il
has already misused.
Il believe that the first article Of the
constitution guarantees the right OF
the public to criticize It's servants.
During the last year the action OF
the administration. takes thru the
postoffice department. has rendered i,
dangerous for any man or newspaper
to speak the truth K that truth be un
pleasant to government employees al
Washington. Such coercive powe,
tends to make upright men. even althc
they are strong men. cautious about
telling truths which ought to be told
1t forces weak men to praise the ad-
ministration whether it does well or i'll
1T invites unscrupulous men who
desire to serve Germany to gain license
to do 80 and to secure advantages by
praising the administration and by sup
porting it politically.
There are cases where all competent
and honest observers are morally GER
tain political support has been given
and is being given by various news
papers, especially German-American
and semi i-socialist newspapers. because
Of the club thus held over them by the
administration.
From the very nature Of the case
there can rarely be positive proof Of
the cases. but there Ii striking proof
in certain cases, as in that Of the
Hearst cases. and the suppression OF
Tom Watson's paper and the attack on
the Metropolitan, In which>I gave the
facts Of what ] have alleged.
THE postmaster general has raised
the issue; meet it squarely and he
shall not evade Il. The administration
has attempted to prevent criticism hos

such action is detrimental or bene-
fiial to the country

Secretary Peale Receives Word from
 Many Prominent Players.

The grounds at the Roque club on Rockwell street will probably be in condition today or by Saturday at the latest. as the men are only waiting for water pressure to complete their work Secretary Arthur L. Peale has sent out his calls and it seems probable that there will be a full list of entries.
 There are only two Norwich men among the winners of last years tour narnent, Woodruff T. Sullivan. who is in the service, and Gerald Brassil who will probably play this year. Loue Stockwell, another local player. is also in the service and is in intensive training with the naval reserves.
 President w. C. Rodman of Phiia- delphia is coming and it is probable that National Champion J. c. Kirk will also be present. Charles G. Williams of Washington has also written ex- pressing his intention of being here. The American Roque association is holding its tournament this month and may send entrants to the national tournament here.
 In his call this year Secretary Peale made special call to the older play CTS to enter in this years tournament as the war has depleted the ranks of the younger players. It is probable that there will be a number of veter- ans on the courts this year who have been out of the game for several years
