' v Washington, D. C., Jan. 2ll?All doubt as to President Wilson's view of proposals in congress for reorganisation of the government's war making machinery was swept away tonight by a statement in which the president said the war department had accomplished a task of unparalleled magnitude add difficulty with extraordinary promptness and efficiency, denouncing the congressional war investigations and declared that reorganization by legislation was pro; posed after effective measures of reorganization had been perfected. Truth Distorted. The president's statement was issued as a result of a speech in New L York Saturday by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military committee, and after he had asked the senator on the telephone whether he had been correctly quoted. Senator Chamberlain's reference to "inaction and ineffectiveness of the government" the president flatly called . / "an astonishing and absolutely unjustifiable distortion of the truth." The president said he regarded Secretary Baker as one of the ablest public officials he had ever met. Averts Great Struggle. In the statement most observers at the capital saw the collapse of what promised to be a historical struggle. Senator Chamberlain, whose commit fifl lioo Kille tn tn "o Tirol* tvv UUiJ li UUi^U IV XI.

It was rather generally conceded, however, that the measures would have but little chance in the senate and probably none at all in the house. New Advertisements. * Jas. E. Deas?Notice. 9 John W.

List of ThoSe Who Failed to Return Their Questionnaires. Following is a list of those registrants under the selective service act coming under the jurisdiction of the Bamberg county board who have not yet properly filled out and returned their questionnaires to said board. The time for the final ones tG^ be in has now about expired, and the consequence of a man not filing his questionnaire is that he is placed in class one under the ruling of the Provost Marshall General without further investigation. However, if any of these delinquents will at once come up with their questionnaires or make reasonable excuse for their neglect thus far in not doing so they will be allowed their opportunity of deferred classification along with the others. Otherwise the local board will be compelled to carry out the orders of the provost marshall general to the letter: 13 Aaron Martin. 83 Henry All. 129 Geo. Vandyke. 141 Geo.

Even if I earn the iron cross I'm not big enough to wear it."?Lond'on Daily Mail. The Federal Trade Commission has granted to three American firms licenses to manufacture and sell two drugs which heretofore have been controlled by enemy aliens under American patents. Censorship in France. According to Wythe Williams, Paris correspondent of the New York Times, who publishes "an open letter to the American public" j in Collier's under the title "The Sins of the Censor," the life of the correspondent at the i front is not a happy one, because of constant interference by the censors. He takes the position not only that much the American public should know is deleted by the censors, but! that the whole organization and spirit of our censorship is wrong and hurtful. He says the attitude of West Point officers in France towards newspaper correspondents is one of "cordial j tolerance" of an "unnecessary evil" j foisted upon them by the War de- i partment. West point courtesy prevails in actual communication, every- j where officers and men are instructed not to talk to correspondents. Mr. I I Wiliams takes the position that the j American army in France needs the J cordial cooperation of the public at; home in order to win this war; and that trained newspaper men, who know what is news, and what will j effect or create public sentiment, are ; far better judges of what news should be sent to America than West Point officers, whose whole point of view and training are military. He says by way of llustration that it would have been a fine thing to tell Americans that our troops were in the land and town of Jeanne D'Arc, a fact known to everybody else, the Germans included. He says the Germans have flown over our camps many times, and distributed pamphlets addressed "to the Americans." Everybody in Europe knows exactly where our troops are, and only our people at home are kept in ignorance. He concedes that it was right not to rvmntJAn fV?a nnrtc of whiph fill r Ul^U tlUU bUC WW V ff , trtfops first landed, or .their first en- j campments in France, but now the Germans know them all, and there is no use in withholding informaton from the people at home. He contends that the "air service has so destroyed land strategy that it is impossible to keep any army movements very much of a secret. If any large scale offensive is planned, the artillery concentration immediately advises the enemy what is up even if his airplanes do not. So that about the only important secret that can be kept nowadays is the exact hour (the 'zero hour') when the infantry goes over the top." He says the dispatches of the correspondent at the front go first to American censors in the field, and after passing here are sent to the central telegraph office at the Paris Bourse which is the general headquarters of the French censors. There a second batch of American censors ror>onenr mnr nlrpnriv nflBRpH hv their \ superiors at the front. This housing the American and French censors in the samei room "hase most unfortunate results" as one censors what another has already passed and together it is "a brotherhood of stupidity." Mr. Williams says that after three years working under censorship he is convinced that the organization is; I bad, the efforts mischievous, and will result in prolongation of the war. He "believes in restraint upon any news that would be of any use to the enemy; but at this point my belief in censorship ends." He contends that instead of censorship which withholds everything of interest to the people at home, there should be organized "The War Pub licity Bureau of the United States Expenditionary Forces." He contends there should be published the things that our well known officers do "which would thrill America" and legitimate criticism as well. "If we had been allowed to cut loose we would by this time have had all America on tiptoe to see that we do , our share in beating the Central Empires. The present negative cen\ sorship has become an ideal for errors, because through it all criti- i cism is barred." J He says we have bragged too much about coming to "save France," and ? done too little. We "would never have cause to be ashamed of our effort if we would only be honest about it, and let the truth be known. The European allies made a hash of J winning the war, and had to call I upon uS to aid them. They must carry on until we are ready and they will do it. But unless we tell the truth about ourselves we will soon become far less popular than we are today. I do not mean that we are already unpopular, but our great popularity has worn off. The enthusiasm with which our people were received has gradually diminished, until now one can distinctly hear grumblings to the effect that the Americans talk too much and questions as to when our army will take over a real part in ?he line." Mr. Williams says: "I simply object to the absolute control of the press, and the public activities in this war by a group of men, wearing blinders, whose very training fits them to sturdy military objectives, and nothing else. I maintain that they cannot properly decide what is good news for the American public. They are right to keep the secrets of their profession, but the success of the West Pointer is no greater thing in this world war than is the ! necessity of keeping the American | public up to the mark." Again he says: "This is a citizens' war, and if the citizens are not kept posted on what the army is doing the stagnation will get worse and worse until the war is indefinitely prolonged, if not lost." "As Americans we must insist upon publicity for the truth, whether it may be disagreeable or not. I now believe there are some things concerning our military effort that need criticism rather than flowers." * * * "The Amercan press, as represented over here, is thoroughly patriotic and with the army and navy as a fighting arm of the American government." Mr. Williams's contention that the attitude of the public and public sentiment is of the utmost importance and this can be best assured by keeping the people informed. Patriotic American newspaper correspondents are as deeply interested in the success of our arms and can be trusted to use intelligently discreton in withholding and publishing news.?
