Bureau Head Sends Unqual-

President Wilson alone appears TO
stand between George Creel.. chair

Congress that he be dismissed from
ONCE.
The investigation of the Commit
tee on Public Information, ,by q
committee named by Frank p.
Glass. president OF the American
Publishers Association. will start
next week. Creel has received ad-
vices to this effect, he said last
night. Glass consented to order the
inquiry at the request OF creel. fol-

members OF the Publishers Asso-

stilI Unpacihed.
Creel sent the House Rules Com
mittee yesterday an unqualified spol-
ogy for a speech in New York in
which he compared Congress to
slums. But the commIttee-Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike-re-
mained unpacined. One member SAID
the apology would nave been more
satisfactory II accompanied by
Creefs resignation.
Chairman Pou. a stalwsrt admin
istratIon leader. attempted TO soften
the committees wrath. This led to
the belief that President Wilson
still stands by his appointee.. To-
day the committee will meet again
to hear Representative Treadwsy.
Of of~Massachusetts, renew his demand
for q congressional, resolution calling
for Creers dismissal.
Creefs letter Of apology did not
reach Pou until the committee had
adjourned, but Pou had been apprised
by Creel OF Its tone and contents.
and he told the committee an apology
was coming. 1t seemed only to arouse
the irste members the more.
II am surprised" said Representa-
tive Rodenberg OF Illinois. that
President Wilson did not remove him
at once. He has grossly insulted
Congress"
Chairman Pou interjected that he
had met Creel wholly by accident" ."
and that he knew Creel felt so badly
about the incident that II he thought
his usefulness were ended. he would
resign

In the country who doesn't"
Sorry" exclaimed Representative
Cantrill of Kentucky, ordinarily an

move the offense against Congress.

Creers letter concluded:
II have given myself so wholly
to the service OF this war that
have perhaps been careless in the
matter of guarding every word Of
my utterances against the possibility
Of misconstruction. But I have the
feeling that sincere men see down
to the heart of intent and will ap-
preciate my desire, at all times to
avoid anything that might create the
dissension and confusion so danger
Gus to our necessary unity.
please let me take this oppor-
tunity to assure you of my willing
ness at all times TO coordinate the
work of the committee with the wish
and thought of Congress. What We
have done and are doing is always
open to the inspection of the indi-
vidual member or committee. and I
can not but feel that our task here
will be strengthened by more init

YANKEE COLONEL AND
FRENCH PIG NEICHB0RS
(By Frank j. Taylor, United Press
80 staff Correspondent

(By Frank j. Taylor, United Press
::i3ac staff Correspondent
With the American Army in
France, June 1S.-(By Mail. -
"Antonette" is family pig of a
French household living in little
town close to the front where is
located a certain regiment.
"Antonette" is more trouble than
a whole German division.
In the village the boys decided to
clean up the street in front of their
colonel's billet. They made it the
most spotless street in France, and
then named it, Broadway.
"Antonette''' either likes an Amer
ican-cleaned street, or else she likes
the bright light of Broadway, which
is good French sunlight and nothing
more. "Antonette" brought her
brood, and the entire retinue insists
in living not on but in Broadway,
right in the middle.
Coaxing, showing, prodding beat
ing and pleading have failed to re-
move "Antonette" from Broadway,
and the French family, true to demo-
cratic ideals, says the pigs have as
much right on Broadway as the COL
Onel.

INNOCENT TRUNK GETS
OFF WRONG STATION;
HAD "a QUARTS BOOZE

"The Mystery of the Missing
Trunk" might just as we'll be the
title of this brief story, for it has to
do with a trunk that by mistake
stopped off in Bemidji instead of In
ternational Falls, and came to grief
in the "City of Enterprise"
The trunk was good trunk. 1t
had every characteristic Of we'll be-
haved trunk, but Chief Brandt Of
the Indian agents wasn't quite salts
fed in his own mind when he noticed
the wanderer and diagnosed it as a
case of camouflage. His diagnosis
proved correct when he forced open
the innocent abroad and discovered
therein "a quarts Of good booze, cal
culated to INSURE joy and other
things in parched inhabitants of In
terna tional Falls. And Brandt be-
came the proud possessor Of the trunk
and contents.
Notification was sent to the Pub
lie Safety commission as to DISPOSE
ton of the liquor and today came an
order to ship the offending trunk and
contents to the adjutant general, st.
Paul.

NO CENSORSHIP OVER
WIRES, SAYS WILSON
(By United Press. J

Washington, July 12.-President
Wilson has assured congressional
leaders, press associations and the
press bureau that business will be
undisturbed If he is given complete
control of the wires of the country.
He said he wanted the senate to know
this to quiet the impression that
Postmaster General Burleson would
establish censorship if the govern

The lawful rate of speed over the

over the bridge at Is to 80 miles per
hour and warnings fail to halt the
