MontfaucOn is strong point

The Americans took Septsarges

In the meanwhile the enemy ma

The German batteries did not fire
upon the place, knowing that there
were Germans in the town.
American batteries also refrained
from shelling because air observers
had reported seeing American pa
trolls entering the town from the
east and west
Finally an artillery commander
notified TO keep out until "he could
shell the boches out of Montfaucon."

CENSORSHIP IS frightened
New Rules To Keep Information
From Enemy.

From Enemy.
Washington, Jan. 1.-For better
protection of military forces against
dissemination of information that
would aid the enemy, the committee
on public Information has issued
complete new series of rules to be
observed.
They came from the Secretary Of
War and of the Navy and represent
the best advice of these departments.
While the new censorship is de-
signed to be strict as possible, it
doesn't apply to dispatches censored
by the military authorities of the
American expeditionary forces abroad
or in cases where the government
has given official sanction.
The committee points out that it is
a matter of little consequence how
widely military information may be
known within the borders of the
country. The printed page affords a
safe method OF communication by
enemy agents, whereas other meth
DDS do not.
