POLICE AND FIREMEN'S
RANKS GROW THINNER

Army service and offers of more
lucrative positions still are depicting
the ranks of the police and fire de-
partments. Three designations from
the police force were accepted yester-
day and, it is stated, there is every
likelihood that the number will be
further increased in the near future.
Provision is made for s21 members
of the police force, but Maj. Pullman
finds it impossible to keep the ranks
filled because of the unusual condi-
tions. The vacancies now number
40.

be abridged for the rest Of the session

committee on rules has reported an
amendment to the rules providing that
until after the war no senator may
talk longer than one hour on one bill
nor more than twenty minutes on any
amendment.
If a senator's remarks however,
should be SO entrancingly absorbing
to his auditors that they would hang
upon his words like a bee upon the

MR.. CREEL DENIES
He |SASOC|AL|ST
Articles Denounced Are Ex-
planned in Letter to Chair
BELIEVES IN AMERICA

In a letter to Chairman Pou Of the
House rules committee yesterday. George
Creel chairman of the committee on
public information. denies that he is a
socialist and declares he Is = democrat.
No Industrial Workers of the World
have been employed at the committees
offices, Mr.. Creel asserts.
Mr.. Creel defends articles written by
him in 1910, which have been de-
nounced as attacking the Constitution
of the United States. and says:
Written in Colorado in 1910.
'The articles that constitute my al
legged attacks upon the Constitution were
written in 1910. in Colorado, in support
OF the Initiative, referendum and recall
Every word I wrote had the complete
son, owner of the paper, as fine and loyal
an American as ever lived and all three
propositions were indorsed at the polls
by large majorities"
Mr. Creefs letter was in response to
a request made by Mr.. Pou for inforrna-
tion as to the personnel of the informa-
ton committees staff Mr. Pous COM
mittee has before it a resolution for a
congressional investibation of Mr.. Creel's
speech in New York recently, in which
Congress was attacked. Mr. Creel since
has apologized for his remarks.
Creel Dissents From Socialism.
I dissent absolutely from the fun
damental tenets of the socialist faith"
says Mr.. Creel. adding: Instead Of
holding contempt for our form of
government I believe in it with all
the strength Of my being. Democracy
Is a religion with me. and throughout
my whole adult life I have preached
America as the hope of the world"
There is no activity in the COM
mittee, Mr.. Creel says, that is not
open to Congress. The military INTEL
ligence service. he adds. makes con-
tlnuous Investigations Of the commit
tee personnel His committee, he de-
clared. has never mixed in politics.

again with the subcommittee tomorrow.
