BROADENS HIS REQUEST
THAT NEWSPAPERS PRINT
NO DETAILS CONCERNING
MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS

Secretary Daniels makes. the fol-
lowing request:
To the press in America:
l issued a request to the press in
America on July 6, 1918, to eliminate
any mention either in the advertising
or news columns of the sailing or
departure, or location or supposed To-
cation of any ship in American waters.
l am very happy to say that there
has been hearty and complete COM
pliance with this request, and that
the cooperation of the press has aided
the Navy Department greatly in its
work.
Experience however, has demon
strated the fact that the request should
not have been limited to American
waters, and that the publication Of
the sailing, departure. location and
movements of ships in foreign waters
is also dangerous and should not be
made / am. therefore. amending my
request by adding ''or in other. wat
ers" The amended request is as follows
The appearance of submarines on
the Atlantic coast makes it impera-
tive that no mention should be made
in any newspaper, either in the ad-
vertising or news columns of the sail
ing or departure, or location, or sup
posed location. of any ship in Ameri-
can or other waters.
This information conveyed by ad-
vertising is as dangerous as in the
news columns, and l am making this
request to all the newspapers in the
country in the assurance that they
will cooperate with the Government
in its effort to prevent any information
about ships reaching submarines
which may be off the Atlantic coast"
