LONDON. July l6.-Lip reader,
are wanted by the British board
OF film censors to curb swearing
on the screen. according 10 the
Daily Express, Deaf mu,es who
are experienced lip readers have
complained that there is too much
cussing by film stars in hate
scenes" Therefore, the censors
have decreed that il actors want
to tell the producer what they
think Of him they must DO il be-
hind their hands. g
So instead OF the good old
fashioned method OF a real battle
of language, actors staging death
grips must in the future call each
other foolish fellow" and
naughty boy" but there they will
have to stop.
However, il will be 4 hard job
for the censors for they will have
TO learn lip reading and even

tlemen could not be expected 10

GERMANY'S SECRET ARMY"

Czecho-SlOvak delegates at Paris laid before the peace
conference last week rather startling evidence of
what they convinced systematic attempt to create
Germany capable Of resisting the Allies in the
peace terms prove unduly severe.
The Allied observers who have been keeping an eye
on Germany have failed to discover these preparations
the nfomers say because they being carried most
y in remote and unfrequened villages The well known
German barracks in the former military centers are
empty these barracks mostly barns and other build
ings on the estates Of unkers filled with recruits
sembng and drilling in secret The recruiting is said to
be under the command Of Hindenburg himself
'Not a day passes runs the account "but that some
500 young Germans join the ranks for the sake of better
pay and food than they obtain elsewhere" Artillery
and other military supplies have been saved from the
store remaining at the end Of the war; and hidden in
many places awaiting the time of uprising.
This report is disquietng, to be sure. 1t is reason
enough for the Allies to remain guard keeping their
military forces of occupation ready to act at moments
notice and to avoid too rapid rehabilitation of the
Allied armies It would be natural enough for the Ger
mans to undertake such pan in order to have ready
an armed force capable Of making desperate last stand
in case of extreme emergency
But it is not necessary to conclude that Germany is
on the verge of renewing the The accounts are al
most certainly exaggerated Even if they are literally
true the recruiting of 500 soldiers day nothing to
scare Marshal Foch 1t would take nearly three years of
such recruiting to- raise force of 100000 men, And what
