CENSORSHIP IS CALLED OFF

Creel Removes War Restrictions Placed on Newspapers. Washington, Nov. 15. —Withdrawal of all volunteer censorship requests, under which American publishers have been working since the United States went to war, was announced by George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information, after conferences with Secretaries Baker and Daniels. Mr. Creel issued this statement: “It has been agreed that there is no further necessity for the operation of the volunteer' censorship under which the press has guarded from the enemy the military policies, plans and troop movements of the United States. The agreement may he considered as no longer binding, and the card carrying the requests of the government is herewith canceled.”
