MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-There
have been lot of keenly contested
matches in the national public parks
and Fairgrounds tennis champion
ships this week but it appeared the
granddaddy of them all was on to-
day.
1t wasn't for a title either. The
match was in the mems singles be-
tween Willis Anderson, Los Angeles,
and Louis Faquin, Memphis, the
winner advancing to tomorrow's
finals.
Two more contrasting men hardly
could meet on q court. Anderson,
%, a post office employe, has been
playing tennis for 16 years. Faquin,
81 and in college, started tennis
at Is.
Anderson is a fixture in public
parks tennis. He won the singles in
1888, the doubles in 1887 and was
doubles runnerup in 1888, 80, 40.
This is Faquin's third national. He
went to the quarter-fnals once, the
semifinals another time.
Anderson is cool and expression
less. Faquin is dynamic and chat
tering; Anderson plays a fast, hard,
smooth game; Faquin, as another
player said. gets about like he had
motor in his pants"

GERM OF CENSORSHIP
(FrOm Editor q PubliSher)

A troopship sailed from New York for New
l. foundland, carrying an unstated number of
soldiers from unnamed regiments to man our new
coast defense bases. Army officers made no move
to conceal either the sailing or destination, but
the bars were up against publication Of other de-
tails, which a month ago would have been routine
for newspapers and news services.
The same day, Secretary Knox sent a "confi-
Dental" communication to all media for the trans
mission of intelligence and to Members of Con-
gress, requesting that only officially authorized in
formation be published on certain classes of naval
news.
The United States is still at peace with the
world, but the services most concerned with natl
onal defense appear to be seriously contemplating
the presence Of an enemy. 1t may be a realistic
view, but it seems to us mistaken, and somewhat
Of a piece with the arbitrary rules imposed by the
British at the start of the war
Suspicion is already widespread that the nation
is closer to getting into the war with both feet
than the grave statements of Secretaries
Hull and Stimson have indicated. If we are close
to war, closer than any official announcements
have shown, the national interests will be best
by complete frankness between the ad-
and the people The sinister impli-
cations of partial and voluntary censorship will
deepen the lurking suspicious without in any way
the determination of the people tc
carry out the administrations objectives.
