"Distortion of Truth," says Wilson.
' 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. AO IV Vit-UlC Of " ttl
council all powerful under the president
and to provide one-man control
of munitions and supplies, declared
he would continue his fight in spite
of presidential objection.
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.

DELINQUENT REGISTRANTS.
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:

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.?

"I suffered from stomach trouble

for a year. I tried many things that
were recommended but nothing did
me any good. Everything that I ate
hurt me and I would take spells of
cramps that seemed so bad I didn't
think I could live through them and
I got so bad off I could not walk
anywhere, not even across the room.
Those terrible cramping spells were
so bad I thought I would die and everyone
thought I could not live.
"I tried doctors and got no relief
and was at my wits' end when Acid

me as the very thing for stomach
trouble and I commenced to take it.
and since then I have never had a
spell of cramp. I now eat anything
I want to eat and it doesn't hurt me.
