With a highly developed mechani-

news throughout the whole world,
how was 10 TO be connected with
the Peace Conference itself? How
were the channels TO be kept open

governments Of the world and the

This was the very heart OF the
problem; here all the diff1cultt IS

We considered Il the function OF

work on terms OF the fullest CO.
operation with the correspondents
We became the channel for notices
or meetings, for all official docu-
ments and reports. We bore I'D
under constant FIRE OF pamphlets
and propaganda from other coun-
tries. We had the highly difficult
-gunpowdery,-p ems to
solve Of press representation at
pIenary and other open sessions,
where only a few press seats could
be provided. a system OF identifl-

we had on our lists. during most

American Aids to Public

Almost the first OF President
Wilson's official acts in connection
with the Peace Conference, after
his arrival. was TO provide for an
organization for publicity. During
the war the Committee on Public
Information. under George Creel's
direction, had given publicity
throughout the world to the pur-
poses OF America. IL was fankly
propaganda. il was part Of
war. TO which propaganda is as
necessary as gunpowder. But
the moment the war closed. its
function ceased, and Mr.. Creel
began winding up its affairs. On
Nov. IA, three days after the ar
mistice. announcement was made
Of the discontinuance of the VOL
untary censorship agreement un-
der which the American press had
loyaN worked. and on Nov. Is all
press censorship OF cables and
mails was discontinued. Presi-
dent Wilson was strongly In favor
OF putting the relationship of gov
eminent and press as quickly as
possible upon a peace basis Of alb
solute freedom.
Not only did the government re-
frain from bringing any influence
to bear upon publicity, but It made
every effort TO facilitate the pas

shade Of opinion, to France, throw

ALLEGED TO HAVE CONFESSED.
Woman Accused of Setting Fire at
Newport.

Newport, Feb. l3.-Mrs. Florence
Billiard was lodged in Orleans county
iail at Newport ON Friday evening,
charged with setting the fire which
came so near destroying the old school
hall Wednesday afternoon.
She was arrested by Constable Ora
j. SWEET Friday evening and was taken
to the Newport house, where a hearing
was conducted before A. g. Preble,
state deputy fire commissioner, OF
Barre and States Attorney Albert w.
Farman. She at first proclaimed her
innocence, but after a gruelling cross
examination broke down and confessed,
according to the officers. She was taken
to Jail to await further hearing and
trial
In this case the police say the wom-
an had fancied grudge towards the
Red Cross Thrift shop, which has been
opened lately in one Of the upper
rooms of the school hall, and which
has second hand clothing, both for sale
and to dispense TO the needy. The
woman had been frequent applicant
for help, and it was learned that at
least one article given to her, she had
sold She was told at the next appli-
ration that no more clothing would be
given to her.
