U. s. MAIL FOR EUROPE UNDER
THE CLOSEST SCRUTINY.

United States mail for Europe has
been under the closest scrutiny by ex-
pert censors since Nov. 1. The fact Of
this censorship has been voluntarily
kept secret by the newspapers who
were informed OF 1t at the time and as
a result important channels of es-
pionage have been uncovered.
American authorities have long been
convinced that information of value
was leaking into Germany through neu-
trail countries.
The United States had become the
recognized center for code experts
within the last few months and IL is
understood that the men who deciph-
cred the code in which the Luxburg
and Bernstorf messages were sent
have done valuable work on many let
tiers picked out of the European mails.
Officials at the War and Navy De
partment are certain that no informa-
ton direct from those sources lately
has reached Germany. They are also
sure that information Of the sailing of
troops could not have been sent to Ger
many by this method In time to be of
value to the submarine commanders.
As the cables and wireless are now
considered to be effectively barred to
this traffic the mail was the only course
left open.
The censorship is announced at this
time because after nearly two months
Of operations its work has undoubtedly
been made apparent to those who have
used the mails for a sinister purpose.

Saving Of Discount Is
Planned by School Board
as Economy Measure

Authority to pay bills against the
city school district as soon as pre-
sented in order TO take advantage
of discounts will be asked for by
President Robert A. Enders and Sec
retary ID. d. Hammelbaugh, in u
motion to be made tomorrow at
the regular board meeting.
Under the old organization of the
board all bills were delayed until
standing committees acted upon
them and recommended payment at
a board meeting. The delay invari-
ably extended over. the time allowed
for discount.
If the motion is passed tomorrow
1t will mean a saving of hundreds
cf dollars annually for the district
as all legitimate bills as fast as they
are received can be checked and
paid.
A report will be made tomorrow
by City Superintendent f. r. Downes
directing supervisors of music and
drawing to attend conventions; fill
ing vacancies; arrangements for an
nual commencements and Red Cross
work by Technical High school stu
dents.
Other business on the board calen-
dar will include action on a request
for use of Steele auditorium for an
uptown orchestra; use of High
school chapel for a debate March 2S;
use of Tech lunch room and gym
nasium for a "go-to- college" dinner

Wanted! Books
For Soldiers

The people of Harrisburg have
been very generous in all the
warcampaigns waged in this city.
They have given literally of their
time and their money. They have
seen to it that the boys in the
training camps and abroad have
had warm clothing, tobacco.
candy and other necessities.
But there is one more need
and an urgent one.
The soldiers need books.
1t is urgently necessary that
50O,00s volumes be added to the
camp libraries.
Good, readable, mems books
are wanted.
Through the kindness of the
Boy Scout executives it has been
arranged that the over 500 MEM
bers of the various Bos Scout
troops of the city will canvass
Harrisburg Saturday, going from
house to house, and collecting
books donated by our citizens.
We urge that every family give
at least one volume. We all have
so very many books that we like
and which for that very rea-
son would please the soldiers.
The Boy Scouts will gather the
books Saturday morning; and
they will then be packed and
sent to the training camps in this
country and abroad.
