English Muiny
Plot Is Found
Leaders Sought to CON-
pei Force in Quelling
Uprising, Says Londor

LONDON, May "a conspiracy to
induce British sailors to mutiny and
soldiers to demoblize themselves bv
marching out of their barracks has
been discovered, according to the
Daily Mail" The premises Of vari-
Gus persons have been searched and
documents seized.
The stations involved, the news
paper says, include four in France and
several in England, while the sailors
in naval ports have been circularized
with view to inciting them to seize
the ports and invite the soldiers and
police to join them.
The object of the plot is stated to
be to compel the government to use
force if the projected disorders should
OCCUR, the organizers believing that
this would .precipitate anarchy.
The first sign Of discomfort in the
British forces was seen early in Janu-
airy, when demonstrations Of charac-
ter bordering on mutiny occurred at
Dover and Foikestone among troops
who had been in England on leave and
who objected to being sent back to
France, Germany and the Balkans. On
January there were demonstrations
of similar character in front of the
War Office in London and in some of
the country camps. Premier Lloyd
George issued an appeal to the soldiers
in which he declared that, as Germany
was still powerful. it was necessary
for Great Britain TO maintain a strong
army during tho peace negotiations.
The government promised to grant
discharges in individual cases in the
army and navy, where also unrest was
reported

based on the assumption of a tremen-

Small Buyers Sure of Notes
Subscriptions flowing to loan head
quarters in, tremendous swell brought
the feeling of victory to loan workers,
who to-day will drive hard to get the
widest possible distribution Of the new

ruling of Secretary Glass, in the
event of ar oversubscription, all buyers
Of $4,000 or less of Victory notes will

Censors' Stock Excuse.

The minor officers in the censors'
department were merely minor Of
hcers. The defense, whether the story
turned down had to do with the A.
f. F.'s shortage of machine guns or
underwear or shoes or overcoats or
blankets or airplanes. was that I'VE
must not discourage the people at
home. These things are all true-but
the people at home do not know it.
We must not worry the mothers Of
America by letting them know"
Perhaps the censors were right. 1t
is a matter, it seems to me, that
should be inquired Into before we are
dumped into another war.
The viewpoint Of the censor and Of
the correspondent are necessarily op-
posed. The contention Of the CORE
spondents-all of them, I believe
was that if we had been permitted
to tell the truth most of the faults
that marred the performance of the
A. E. F. in France might have been
cleared up or prevented. Fewer
lives would have been sacrificed to
bad leadership. The fighting men
would have suffered less. The con-
tention Of the censor has been stated.
He did not care so much what hap
pened to the doughboy. but he was
very solicitous about the man with
stars or bars on his shoulder.

The colonel rode with us several

and candidly. He made no attempt

himself. His men were fresh and I'M

upon the tale, refused to pass it.

Poor Morgan was in rather I'M

were hurt. He and his assistants al
ways went as far as they dared in
passing stories. But it seems to me
merely rejecting the correspondents
point of view-that there is some
thing wrong in that sort of censor
ship. Perhaps the inquiry into police
brutality in Paris may have deSira-
Bile collateral result.

men OF RUMANIA CHANGE
THEIR ANCIENT APPAREL
Red Cross Garments Supplant
Roman Tunic With Embroidered
Trousers Taken in War Loot.

BUCHAREST. July 10 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-For
the first time since Rumania, as the
ancient Roman province of Dacia,
adopted the short white skirt of the
Roman legionaries as her especial
costume, the men Of Rumania have
changed their style of wearing ap-
parel
The ancient costume since the
time Of the Romans has been a short
white tunic, supplemented with thick
white wool bag trousers" and a
heavy padded coat, whose lines of
rich embroidery exactly follow the
lines OF the old Roman body armor.
The German Bulgar-Turk hooters
carried away as many of the en-
broidered garments as they could find.
The clothing brought from Fran &c
by the American Red Cross has taken
the place of the stolen goods.
Hospital garments of all kinds
bath robes. pajamas, hospital jack
cts. are being worn by the men in
the villages in place Of their historic
national costume. A gray wooden
hospital bath robe may not be as pic
turesque as an embroidered tunic
but judging by the pleased look on
the faces Of +. the peasants as they
leave the American Red Cross dis
tributing station. the substitute gar
ment is giving perfect satisfaction.

THE RADIO AMATEUR
IA Department for Wireless News.
By HARVEY II. MITCHELL.

This column, dedicated to the ANA
teur wireless man or woman, makes
it's debut today to the radio frater-
nifty. 1t is the outcome Of demand
for this class Of news.
In these days Of reconstruction some
of us are having a difficult time find-
ing old friends and ascertaining what
they have been doing since we last
heard their spark and what they are
doing now. It. therefore. will be at
tempted herein to keep you posted.
Not every one is familiar with the
important part which the wireless
who are returning to civilian life from
the service are getting back into the
amateur game with more pep" and
enthusiasm than before.
If any readers have returned from
the service and intend resuming ANA
teur radio work. it will be appreci-
ated if you will advise the editor of
this column, so that the news may be
circulated to the radio fraternity.
The Rodgers Developments.
A new stunt that promises to revo-
lutionize amateur wireless has been
developed by S. D. Rodgers Of 81
Ruth street. Mount Washington.
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Mr.. Rodgers has succeeded in max
ing an oscillating audion from
watt nitrogen lamp and claims }
have used it with success in the r
ception Of transatlantic undamped
wave signals He also claims for
this device that it will work ex-
ceptionally fine as an oscillator for
wireless telephoning.
How They Are Constructed.
Mr.. Rodgers has constructed four
of these audions, mounting them on
a common base with ordinary porce-
lain lamp sockets, arranged with a
switch so that they may be placed in
multiple OF series. As step-up
amplifier. he says, they are the most
sensitive he has used A 500-volt
motor generator Of his own design
supplies the direct current for their
operation. This machine has q
clever improvement. on which he has
applied for a patent whereby all the
windings are interchangeable, 50

Mr.. Rodgers Description.
Mr.. Rodgers' description Of the
method of constructing this type of
audion follows:
around the outside Of the globe
Of a seventy-five-watt nitrogen lamp
wrap q very thin strip Of aluminium
foil about an inch and . half in
wider than the foil. and on top Of
that q thin piece Of copper sheeting
the same size as the aluminium.
Leads are taken from these two ele-
ments, the aluminium being used for
the grid and the copper for the plate.
which, you will notice, is just the op-
posite Of the way these are used in
regular audions."
To Try New Experiment.
He is working on a detector to
consume four volts for the filament by
utilizing a small tubular automobile
headlight bulb, and the results Of his
experiment will be published here
soon.
Mr. Rodgers is pioneer in anna.
teur wireless, having been a chief
electrician in the Navy as far back
as 1899, when wireless was in its first
stages Of development, and he has
pursued the study with interest ever
since.

General Tells of Conditions.

why do you correspondents not
tell the truth about the 42d Division?"
I was once asked by an officer whose
professional standing is today sec
ond to none in the American Army.
He wears the stars of a general upon
his shoulder and he earned them.
Why do you not say that these men
are lousy and that we cannot get
baths for them, and they are SILVER
ering and we cannot get underwear
for them, and they are almost shoe
less in the snow and we cannot get
shoes for them? Why don't you tell
the truth? Are you afraid?"
had not known the truth, but
when it came to me in this fashion l
tried to tell 1t. The censor refused
to pass my story. I persisted and
was again refused. I then tried to
get a cablegram back to my office,
under pledge that it would not be
used in print, to be forwarded to
Secretary of War Baker for his pri-
vate reading. This time Capt Gerald
Morgan. then in charge of censoring.
wrote me a note, which I still have
in my possession. He said that he

1T wouldn't do" said he Head
quarters wouldn't like it"
These statements are made at this
time because charges have been placed
before Congress in reference to pro-
vost marshal bruta1ity-and because
peace has not yet come to the world
war-and because If we do it is adj
visable that the censors' department
be organized on a different plan. There
should be some screening system de-
vised by which the news helpful to
the enemy might be held back, and
that helpful to the American people
and the American soldier let through.
No other army has ever has as lib
eral censorship as that Of the Amer
lean Army. Let that be said to begin
with. Absolutely no bounds were
placed upon the liberty of movement
of the accredited correspondents with
in the advance zone. They were taken
freely into the confidence Of the Army
chiefs whenever it was possible to see
those very busy men. Gen. Dennis o.
Nolan, in command Of the intelligence
department, under whose direction
the censorship came, and his princi-
pal aid, Maj. James, were broad-mind-
ed and helpful. They gave the corre-
spondents every assistance in their
power. They earnestly sought to get
every item Of information possible
home to the American people But the
direction OF the censorship was but
one of their duties. Their hours were
full to overlooking.

"Treated Like Dogs.

Having this in mind. did not in
quire very deeply into the stories of
brutality in the provost marshaPs
prison in Paris. But they kept COM
ing. A company of marines was then
doing military police duty in Paris.
These men had never seen any part Of
the front and those they arrested were
for the most part men who had gone
through. the hell of Belleau woods
and Bouresches and those other boil
ing springs Of perdition the American
troops found along the Marine early
in the summer Of that year. No men
had ever suffered more or suffered
more bravely than had these Ameri-
can youngsters on their frst trial by
FIRE. But when they fell into the NJ
P.'s clutches in Paris!
They treat US like dogs" the men
complained.
Let me confess my fault. I did not
investigate closely, as I should have
done. But as days went on and more
stories of cruelty and theft and abuse,
such as I had never heard charged
against German drill sergeants, came
to my ears I approached the censors'
department. 1t was as well. I
thought, to find out whether this story
Of outrage could be printed Il found
proof to support it and then wrote it
Capt Morgan shook his head.
