Maj Frederick Palmer, former war
correspondent, now chief of the intelli-
gence section with Gen. Pershing s
forces, succeeded in having relaxed
some of the severe restrictions, which
would have subjected correspondents
reports to this country to French CEN

Gen. Pershing opened the way to COR
respondents for gathering information
without being subject to the surveil-
lance of representatives of the censor

the contention that the old plan gives in
formation to the enemy.

A German officer who had been given
up by doctors in an allied hospital and
who was restored to good health
through the persistent work of =
French nurse, snapped her wrists when
she went to shake hands with him in
bidding him goodbye. Men in the
hospital. some of them badly wounded,
leaped from their beds and the Ger
man was practically trampled and
beaten to death by the horror-stricken
soldiers. What was left of the beastly
German was shot.
Though many aspects of warfare on
the ground may be brutal. all allied
fliers and many Germans seem imbued
with high ideals, and a spirit of
craftsmanship prevails in conflicts
above the clouds. This accounts for
the fact that on many occasions allied
fiiers have dropped wreaths of flowers
behind the German lines in memory of
the vanguished. The Germans have
reciprocated at times.

One official stated that he believed
the new arrangement would handica p
the liberty loan and the forthcoming
Red Cross drive for funds.
All these considerations will be re-
viewed by President Wilson. If it
still is found that there is good mill
tary reason for the War Department s
action. it is predicted that the country
Will acquiesce in the ruling.
Officials say that from what has been
stated by the War Department they can
see no ground for the suppression Of
the addresses. France long has main
tanned a rigid censorship. because there
were many ways by which such infor-
nation could leak out to her next door
neighbor, Germany.
But supervision of mail and cable
communication out of this country, it
was stated. should be strict enough to
make possible the modification of some
of the stringent French practices. which
are considerably more severe, for eX-
ample. than the censorship in Great
Britain.

in France without their home addresses
or other marks of identification.
It was considered likely that the
President would discuss the matter
with his cabinet this afternoon.
There was no indication that the
President has taken any steps to re-

military reasons 1t was plain. however

High Officials Disapprove.

High officials of the administration
have expressed vigorous disapproval of
the course. one today pointed out that
the Withholding of the addresses and
the consequent mystery surrounding
the men who die or are wounded in
France served only to create a general
apprehension and to magnify casualties
in the public mind.
1t also was stated that one of the
most valuable assets of war time is the
general sympathy and community feel
ing engendered by the knowledge of
common losses. But the present meth
cd, 1t was urged, is designed to leave
many man ignorant of the bereave-
ment of his own neighborS-
one official pointed out that much
stress had been laid upon the expected
stirring of public feeling when the
large casualty lists begin to come. But,
1t was complained, the inadequate iden-
tlncation of the men on these lists
gives an impersonal and far-away as
pect to Americas losses abroad.

The stories bOthering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food admlnistra-
tor recently denounced In this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize

The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to

has the power of destruction that lies
In q battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even Q vestigs Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
@Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
They are insidious, subtle, persist

trust, the great essential In the work
Of food control.
