lined In the following statement
Addressed to newspaper publishers
and editors of the Unked states"
by Hays:
The New York yolkszeitung has
made a new application for second
class privileges, This application
has received tho usual considers
ton OF the department and has been
approved.
Refuses to he Censor.
Il want again to call the atten-
ton OF the publishers to the fact
that ] am not. and will not allow
myself TO be made, a censor OF the
press. I believe that any publica-
ton that il entitled to the use Of
the mails at all is entitled 70 the
second class privileges. provided
that II meets the requirements Of
the law for second class matter. A
publication once entered as second
class matter Is entitled to the very
best and most prompt service and
TO the least possible Interference
wits its constitutional freedom Of
thought and action.
There is, however, placed upon
me by certain statutes responsible
tiles in this connection that must
be upheld SO long as the law re-
mains as il Is. l will at all times
act with moderation and considers-
tion for the freedom of the press.
but l must and will enforce in good
faith. without evoking TECHNICAL
ties, these statutes declaring GER
tain matters nonmaiiasle. one OF
which is the act of June l., 1917,
providing that:

BAVARIAN HEAD
MAKES PROTEST

BERLIN, Aug. l4,-Bavarian Pre-
mter Won Kahr has sent a sharp
telegram to Chancellor wirth de-
olaring that extensive buying of
grain in Bavaria by spectators
and hoarders is driving prices up
ward in an unauthorized manner.
He declares that the profiteering
is threatening not only the eco.
nomic but the political life of the
nation.
Premier Won Kahr lays tho
blame upon the release by the ma.
tional food administrator Of control
over the grain crops. He requests
an immediate reconsideration Of
that decision.
The Bavarian Minister OF Asri-
ture. before the grain exchange,
warned against specializing in
breadstuffs and declared that every
transaction at prices exceeding the
world market prices would be re-
garded as criminal and would be
prosecuted. He. gave notice that tia
expectation of grains from Bavaria
would soon be prohibited.

event will not be won on the merits
Of individual stars, but upon the
cooperation OF several men. each
doing his level best.
The third week If camp opens
today with the work Of organiza-
tion completed and all parts fune-
tioning. The officers have sized up
their men and chosen the best
course TO obtain satisfactory re-
suits in a limited period of time.
1t has been reported on several
occasions that the officers of Com
pany u were well pleased with
the showing OF ''WashipSton's
own" II does not mean that they
congratulate them every time they
execute q movement correctly or
make q favorable appearance at
inspection. The strictest OF mill
tary discipline is enforced at all
times.
Discipline 10 Strict.
The officers do not overlook
minor heterogeneous Of camp reg
ulations and attribute them to
bIissful ignorance; the offender ~
sharply reprimanded and warned
that some OF the privileges may be
taken away from him IL he does
not brace up. without resorting
TO "hard-boiled' methods. the
officers have succeeded In main
tanning discipline and winning en-
thusiastic support of their men.
There has been a tendency among
some Of the men to report to the in
Urinary on sick call a few hours
previous TO a long hike. but this
practice has been discouraged by
assigning the men to quarters and
keeping them busy all day. It is
significant that few men report to
the infirmary the second time.
InArmary Net Popular,
The standard alIbi since camp
opened has been, 81 didn't have any

The Renter's Troubles

~ fhs Editor Of the Evenin0 Pubuo Ledger:
bir-We hear considerable today about the
renters troubles and why thcY nre having
20 much difficulty TO fnd homes, We have
had II suggested that people who have ,arge
homes should open portion Of Them to
renters and thus relieve the sltuGtion. The
situation will relieve Itself II the renters
would appreciate that because they paid n
certain sum OF money for the privilege ot
living In another persons house they had
the privilege Of using that property and with
as much careiessness as they possibly could,
for are they not paying a large rental so
why worry
The renter torEets the fact that everything
that In placed In home today In expensive.
ana only the most careful tenant can
make n pront for the landlord. to which ne
is entitled. A price Is charged for rent to
correspond with the character OF the prop
erty rented. and It Ia up TO the tenant
whether the landlord Is going to come out
whole on the bargain.

damage Invariably begins. In the first

housewife. She starts AT once to save her
self as much as possible, TO tho detrment
OF the articles she Is using. | know a man
who rented his house to a family. II was

that ne had to get new one; he had to get
almost the entire house repapcred, the

had forgot to turn on the hot-water heat
and all tho pipes we're melted and leaked; all
the woodwork showed signs of bad usage.
When the family moved IN there was a bulb
IN evnry electric Light socket IN the house
that was In good condition.
And stu further, there vas hardly door
