CAMP MEADE. Admiral, Md. Jan. IL.
That many big things are In the max
ing at this camp became apparent today
when orders were issued at division
headquarters compelling all newspaper
men IN the service to submit their stories
to the camp censor.
This order docs not include the ac-
credited camp correspondents who are
In daily touch with the commanding otfi-
GERS Of the camp. Ii does mean that a
score of newspaper men who left their
offices TO don the khaki must separate
themselves from journalistic activities,
for the order forbids any man In the
service accepting pay for his work and
limits the scope of the soldier reporters
TO such an extent that they will be un-
able TO disclose any news OF military
character.
As these men are removed from the
camp commanders and are not familiar
with the censorship restrictions. many
of them, in an innocent and thoughtless
manner, have disclosed information that
is considered harmful 10 the service.
As the time for big troop movements
and other important activities is draw
ing near, the ranking officers felt that
Il was necessary to curb the "free
larcers." as they are styled.
Commanding officers at Little Ponn'S

Penrose and Knox, Of Pennsylvania, par
ticipating. The subject in It's broadest
sense is likely TO be considered.
1t has become known that the pur-
pose OF the resolution introduced by
Senator Lewis. Of Illinois, indorsing the
terms initiated by President Wilson and
pledging to them the support of the
Senate, was to draw out the opinions Of
leaders OF tho Senate upon those terms
IL is expected such discussion will lead
TO revival of other peace resolutions

sion, and accordingly a general exposi-
ton Of the views of members who have
strong ideas on the subject is antici-
pated.
Much interest is attached to the utter
ances of Senators Knox. Stone and
Borah, and much curiosity Is expressed
over what Senator La Toilette may say.
Senator Lewis let II be known that he
would call up the resolution when the
Senate was free to give ample Time 70
its consideration and when those ex-
pected to talk upon It can free them
selves from business outside OF the
chamber.
1t Is regarded as certain that any dis
cussion will induce senator La Toilette
TO talk upon his resolution, introduced
before the recess, which calls for peace
council. At It's introduction Senator La
Toilette gave notice that he would seek
a favorable opportunity TO talk on the
subject and IL is likely he will take this
opportunity. III.
Senator stone, chairman of the Foreigu
Relations Committee, presented resolu-

to him last session by the American
