Especial Dispatch to The Tribunc)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Sxtccn
new books found destructive to the
morale Of the American soldier were
to-day ordered barred from all army
camps by tho Department of Military
Censorship.
In the new list, which makes total
of scventytwo books placed under the
ban, is "Two Thousand Questions and
Answers About the War;" edited by j.
". Mueller, American representative
of "Thc Stars and Stripes" and con-
tanning a forcword write. by George
Crccl, chairman of the Committee on
Public Information.
Other books barred because Of con-
tanning pro-German utterances, or
found to be salacous or morbid and
thus "untit for American soldiers,"
were written by Bernhard Dernburg,
chief propagandist of the Hun in Amer
lea; Edward Lyell Fox, writer Of
l4udatory articles of the Central En-
anti-w spokesman. and George B. Nc
! Clcllan, former Mayor of the City of
New York, and now a MAJ jor in the
| army.
"Thc books were barred from every
army camp and from every post where
American soldiers are located because
their influence tended to make the sol
dier who read them less effective
tighter again the Hun" it was ex-
planned to-day, when publication Of the
complete list was authorized.
Much German Propaganda
"Thc books have been carefully read
by military censors," it was added, "and
every one contained some Objectionable
/ matter either of a nature TO give in
formation to the enemy or calculated
to disturb the morale of the American
soldier. Many Of the Volumes as their
titles indicate, were the most vicious
KIND OF German propaganda, while
/ others were declared either salacious
or morbid and unfit for reading by any
body, but more particularly by sol
diers"
The inclusion of the Muelor-C Crecl
book in the list of volumes blacklisted
was due to the many passages in the
! publication that military censors de-
clared were simon-pure German propa-
ganda, ranking alongside the Dernburg
volume carrying the tel-tae title, Ger
many and the War;" and Edward Lycll
tox's boastful work with the appar-
emily undisguised title, Behind the
Scenes in Warning Germany
War and Waste,' written by David
starr JordOn. was characterized as an
otEer one of those "vicious pacifst
books intended to emphasize the waste
I funess of war and subordinate the real
purposes of the United States in the
| war;
In the list also are numerous relig-
icuS publications opposing war and
emphasizing the views of paciGsts.
Other publications were barred because
they were unit from a moral stand
pCint.
