terday A young lady about twenty
was killed, and her father and moth
er seriously injured. A hospital was
hit last night and casualties were
still being taken out of the building
this afternoon at pm. Many
nurses have lost their lives. Both
these occurrences have happened
within a few miles from where I
live. The house being about mile
away, I heard the bombs coming
and felt the vibration in the earth.
This has happened in the last two
days. Things like these and worse
have happened ever since last Sep

earnest. 1t is terribly trying for the
the children have been evacuated. I
expect you hear quite lot about
what is happening. Don't think that
everything is in ruins and the peo-
pie are all scared and living in
holes (shelters) under the ground.
This is not so, the morale of the
English people is very high. We
are all confident in the outcome of
this war. We are fighting for our
liberty, freedom and we would rath-
er die than be ruled over by the
NaZis. We know that we are in the
right, and the Germans in the wrong
and we will beat the Huns! There
has been a great loss of life, many
of my friends have been killed by
enemy action and there will be more
loss of life before we are through.
It is a terrible thing this war, but
the Nazis asked for it and they
must bear the consequences. The
talk at the moment is all about in
vasion. Well, just let them try it!
I have a warm welcome for the
German that comes to our house or
street, and not only me but every
body else in this country heard the
recording of Mr.. Roosevelt's speech
on the wireless the other night. Am
erica is certainly helping us and
everybody in England realizes how
great her help is. The Nazis do not
like it, and they will like things still
less once we really get going. We
have had some incendiary bombs
twice, but little damage was done.

An entirely new and thrilling
climax is being tried oft by the
Sensational Marions who opened
Saturday evening as the free,
outdoor attraction at EdgeWater

This stunt, according to James
Marion who heads the act,
proved practicable during pre-
season practice period, but may
prove too hazardous on the road.
The tryout this week will deter
mine whether it is to be retained
in the act or thrown out en-
tirely.
The Marions will continue
through Memorial Day, giving
performances each night at $50

There was screwball named

prizefighter known as Jack
Dempsey.

Thomas f. Dewey.

man or woman Of the hour-or
rather. let US say, Of the season.
Sometimes, he is a playooy'
sometimes a genius, sometimes
a hoodlum.
This season-and last season,
too-it is and was William
Saroyan.
The critics and the public are
divided about his talents.
There is one school which
considers him the outstanding
personality Of a decade.
There is another which thinks
he is a smart show-of and show
man-but insincere.
A part of the public swoons
over everything this young man
from Fresno writes or says or
does.
Another part of the public
yawns and wonders how he gets

ANY time an actor is sure
that there is no opportunity for

of Dennis, who, for three years,
didn't do more than walk
across the screen.

l must admit I really was
greatly surprised in Dennis for
l had known him as Richard
Stanley at Paramount and Stan
lev Morner at M-G-M and l
didn't feel that he had any tall
ent as an actor. In fact, when
Hal Wallis suggested him for
my personal appearance tour
three years ago, l looked out OF
the window.
l have never been more wrong
in my life. Dennis should be an
inspiration TO other actors who
chalk up failure. Most of
them leave Hollywood discour-

Man Of Moment

Regardless of that, Saroyan IS
very much the man OF the mo-
mentor the hour-or the sea-
son.
He PROMISES TO hold the spot
light for quite awhile. There is
no doubt he is as much a show
man as C. Bernard Shaw-and
is not quite as boring.
He does everything on i'm
pulse-including his writing.
An impatient young man, he
holds no truck with the slow
and sure devices.
A week-two weeks-three
al the most-how much more
time can fellow afford to
waste writing a play?
A short story-that's an
hours work Argue with him
in print and he will write you
a letter of several thousand
words which he could sell easily
10 any magazine.
Saroyan gives dress rehearsals
of his play-and admits the pub

He donates all profits over a
certain point 10 his cast. He
picks up a girl in funchroom
and makes her the leading lady

He writes a letter to the

solemnly assuring him that he

Stanton's pleasure and only the
President had access to the dis
patches. Resentment Of the censor
ship figured in the presidential cam
paign of 1864. driving many votes to
Gen. George B. Mcclellan, Lincoln's
opponent.
But a lack Of such a censorship In
the Confederacy allowed valuable
information to seep steadily through
the lines to the Northern generals.
President Jefferson Davis made
speeches at Macon and Palmetto,
Ga. after the fall of Atlanta, in
which he said measures had been
taken in Tennessee and Kentucky
to cut of Gen. Sherman's supplies
from the North and leave him
stranded in a hostile land The
speeches were published in Southern
papers. picked up by Northern
papers and reached Sherman. who
took steps to keep his lines of COM
munication free, Reports of his
progress across Georgia, printed in
Southern newspapers, enabled Gen.
Grant to SEND supplies to meet him
at the coast.
Wanted Closest Secrecy.
In the first World War the United
States began thinking about censor
ship problems four years before it
got into the war In 1918 j. c.
OLoughlin delivered a lecture be-
fore the Army War College in
which he advocated publicity for
the Army in time Of peace. but in
war "a censorship so strict so
thorough. that the operations of the
armies, including the units COM
posing them. would not even be re-
ferred to in the press"
He suggested that the War De-
partment appeal to newspapers and
press services TO print no informa-
tion respecting mobilization, move
ments OF which might deter oper-
ations. In February, 1915, the War
College division drew up a memo
randum on control OF the press in
war.
1t recommended that Army and
Navy officers consult with news
paper and press service men to draft
legislation to authorize the Presi-
dent to regulate the publication and
censorship Of telegrs ph. cable. wire
less and mail communications when
| this was needed for defense A plan
for censorship was included in the
memorandum.
As America went into the war,
however, a system Of voluntary CEN
sorship was evolved which. as
George Creel. chairman of the Com
mittee on Public Information. was
TO write later. often worked out in
such a way as to make secrecy a joke.
Mr. Creel nowadays is advocating
censorship Of cables and radio with
out restriction on the press That
: is very much the same plan that
Stanton used in the Civil War
For those outside the continental
United States censorship exists
already.
The letters OF soldiers and sailors
are given . going over by military
authorities to see that no word OF
military importance may seep
through from OUTLYING bases to the
wrong persons in the United States
or elsewhere.
