LESSEN CENSORSHIP,

MOORESTOWN. N. J., March 26.-An
urgent plea for less stringent censor
ship regulations in order to maintain
Americas war spirit "at the food. was
made by Gov. Edge here today, speak
ing at a flag service ceremony. The
governor said he did not approve the
publication of information that might
be Of use to the enemy, but declared
that he knew of no reason why the
home addresses of dead and injured
American soldiers should not be pub
lished in the casualty lists.
Put the American public in the
bleachers." he said.
from them no play. nothing except those
signals which might help the other side.
And 1t won't be necessary to worry
about war spirit The team will win
and win in jig time.
Il hope misguided censorship will not
persist in fostering any tendency to
modify the gravity of the situation or
belittle the magnitude Of Americas I'M
dertaking. Heretofore arbitrary con-
sorship has manifested itself in foolish
~ Withholding from the American peo-
pie the remarkable progress Of Ameri-
can war preparation and thereby invit-
ing a lot OF ignorant criticism Of Of
fetal activity that must have given aid
and comfort to the enemy. I most sim
cerely hope that it will not be per-
severed in to the point Of Withholding
corning the progress of, the war that it
ought to know. Nothing could be more
disastrous. not even serious setback

Information received today by the Brit

Ian, is that the situation at the western
front has improved decidedly since yes

repulse of the Germans to the east bank
of the Somme, between Peronne and Nor

The following explanation Of the hattie
situation was given to the Associated
Press today by Cen McLachlan:
General View Now Possible.
The position in the battle zone Is now
clearer. and it is possible to get more
general view Of what has happened dur
ing the first five days fighting.
1T is clear that yesterday the situ-
alton improved considerably. On the
Somrne between Morchain and Peronne,
the Germans were driven back to the
eastern bank of the river. Several
heavy attacks on other parts of the
new line have been repulsed. and the

SMITH WRITES FROM FRANCE.
First Letter From Former Pastor Re.
ceived by Wife at Pasadena.

The Pasadena, Cal, Star-News pub
fishes in a recent issue a letter from
Rev. Merle \. Smith, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Pasadena.
and formerly pastor of the Methodist
church Of this city. The letter was the

husband since he landed in France to

Methodist churches at Steamboat Rock.
Lisbon, and Cedar Falls in this con-
ference, and went to Michigan some
years ago.
France is like a garden. green and
flush with the touch Of spring" Mr..
Smith writes. The fields are hardly an
acre IN size, neatness, order, and thrift
are evident everywhere; not foot Of
ground Is wasted. You see France at
work to win the war. in field and fac
tory. as you whirl thru city. town, and
country"
Speaking Of some Of the scenes Of
interest Mr.. Smith says: Women are
to be seen in mourning everywhere,
sadfaced beyond words, but with some
thing else in their faces besides sad
ness, not easy to name, but very fine.
The French soldier looks business.
Yesterday we dropped into a building
where mutilated French soldiers are
