MR.. CREEL AGAIN.

burlington Gazette, Dem1
When il was known that Mr.. Creel
was going abroad with the president,
5ucit storm OF protest broke in the
Eress Of the. land that he found 1t ex-
pedient to disclaim any control of Off
clal publicity in connection with the
peace conference. Yet his righthand
man. Edward Sisson, now in Paris
with numerous staff. announces that
every American official communica-
ton to the press must pass Mr.. Greet"
If this be so and 6reel is to censor the
rews before it can be cabled to Am
erica, the frank and unglossed estimates
of that official, in congress and out, are
likely to be voluble and yoIuminous.

 GOVERNMENTS

Washington, Jan. 22-Under an agreement reached by representatives of the American, British and Canadian governments, British subjects in the United States who have taken out first papers for American citizenship will be made liable for draft in the British and Canadian armies by treat les soon to be negotiated
 The American selectiye act provides two enrollments of first paper men in the national army, and this informa - tion has been one of the most trouble some problems for the negotiators. Now that the point has been disposed Of other questions are being passed upon rapidly and the treaties to gov ern the drafting of British subjects here and of Americans in Great Bri- tain and Canada probably will be ready for signing within a week.
 British subjects in this country in cluding the first paper men up to 45 years of age will be subject to craft. The United States also in drafting American citizens abroad will seek only men between the ages of 21 and 31, as prescribed in the selective act. A separate treaty is being framed for the Canadians as they prefer that their men in the United States shall be subject to call in their own armies.
