Dear "Fightin'. Man.
Maybe you think your old home
county has forgotten you and her
other 1900 sons who went forth TO
battle the Hun. II so, your guess Is
far from the reality as the Raiser's
soul Is from Heaven, for the memory
OF the boys who gave up their peace
full pursuits hereabouts and who are
now serving under the Star Spangled
Banner on European battlefields. on
ships of war and in camps and can"
tonments is about the livest and
proudest memory that ever found
Judgement in these parts.
You and the other fellows who wear
the uniform have never been out OF
mind or out of heart and we believe
YOU viii find some qualification in the
fact that your home county has not
vet failed to go ''over the top" in your
support in all of the many war fund
campaigns undertaken.
II has heretofore been impossible
for any organization or any individ-
nal to send letters or Other femem
branoes to any considerable number
of the boys in the service because
there have been MOI addresses on file,

mo CENSORSHIP AT
PEACE CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. Is
George Creel, chairman of the COM
mittee on public information. made a
statement today denying that press
censorship would be in effect while
the peace conference was in progress.
He said:
/ 1T is requested and hoped that cor
Irection be made of the very untrue re-
port that an attempt would be made
ito interfere in any manner with the
free flow of news from America TO
Europe or from Europe o America
No Press Censorship Now.
The whole effort of the govern
7 ment from the first has been to as
sure adequate and authoritative rep
reservation of the press at the peace
conference and to assist news distri :
button in every possible way.
There is no press censorship Of
Of any kind in the limited States to-
day, and at the spersonal request OF
the president he English and French
governments have. lifted all censor
ship regulations bearing upon Ameri-
can press matter.
THE widely circulated rumor that
George Creel. chairman of the COM
mittee on public information. viii
have control of official publicity in
connection with the peace conference
is absolutely without foundation.
There will be no such control and
the situation itself precludes any such
control. The peace conference itself
will undoubtedly decide upon the
manner of announcing its deliberations
and. decisions, and the right of CORES
pondents to free movement and inter-
view is, of course. one that cannot be
abridged in any degree

Federation Leader Advises
Union Men Not to Aid

LOYALTY TO NATION
NOT MADE EVIDENT
Missoula Map Says Leagues
Patriotism Is Doubted
at Present.

All members Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor arc advised not to mix
with the Non Partisan league in a
statement issued yesterday by II. b.
Cain, retiring president OF the Mis-
soula County Trades and Labor coun-
Gil.
II do not think that any loyal men,
Der OF the federation should take any
chances In spreading the doctrine of
an organization whose loyalty has not
been fully tested" says Mr.. Cain In
urging organized labor representatives
not to work as organizers for the
league.
Reply to Advertisement.
The statement was issued In reply
to an advertisement by the Non Parti-
san league for paid organizers recruit
ed from the ranks of union labor.
Mr.. Cain has served successfully as
president of the county trades and la
Dor council. His term expired only
last week., SO. that he speaks quasi
Officially. His statement follows:
Ignore League Appeal.
Il strongly advise all members of the
American Federation OF Labor to ig-
more the advertised bids of the Nom
Partisan league for paid organizers
from the ranks of union labor For
many years our wise leader Samuel
Gompers, has followed the policy of
keeping the federation free from all en-
tanglements with political parties. That
policy should prevail and while every
member OF a union has the right of in
1fvidIIn1 aefinp xt,if - I;s;
as we'll as everything else. he should
not permit the cause of labor to be
used to aid any political organization
There should be no departure from that
policy now.
Under Suspicion.
II am not familiar with all of the
things that the Non Partisan league
stands for, but there is one thing that
everybody who reads the newspapers
knows. That, is that Mr.. Townley and
other leaders in this movement have
been under strong suspicion of disloy-
atty to the government ! do not think
it has been denied that Townley was
refused permission to speak in several
Minnesota towns by the loyal citizens.
Applauded lsFoiIette.
Also 1t is known that at the con-
vention of the league in Minneapolis
last summer Tpwnley and his people
applauded the speech Of Senator La
Toilette for which the senator later
was cited to appear before the senate
ON charges Of disloyalty That matter
is still before tho senate. The very
life OF union labor is at stake in this
war. II Is the duty of every member
of the American Federation of Labor
to do everything in his power to aid the
country in this crisis and | certainly
do not think that any loyal member OF
the federation should take any chances
in spreading the doctrine of an organ
ization whose loyalty has not been fully
tested and found TO be thoroughly
sound"
