State Department Bares Secret Inductions Which Order Editors to Deceive Public.

WASHINGTON. Jan. . lence of the rnro th- German -rov-frnmrnt is taking to direct public opinion and to dr-ivc r.ft only its rnmis but its n.wi j .o f ; I is runt .lined in a srir-' of f-'cr"t instructions lf-.-'jp'i to the Gerni.m pres by v'lio censorship wbidi li'Uf; fallen into th hand.- of th .-!ate dep artment. Th i n.t rii tifr..- cover a period of e than three months of 3a.t year. h;;t they tell a wry rnnipb'te tr.ry of how the Teutonic war lord ,ntroi public opin;on. Ownrs of r.e-.vs papers and publiher? p'nerally r.ot only are limitl an to the rhanicter of the artif printed, but in many ca.se are told what they should publish and in wliat terin. Labor disturbance?, fool shortage and difficulties in seurint? and distributing coal arn placed under the ban but newspaper are ured to Kive prominence to r nmy los.se and to certain prescribed interpretation of international situation". A hint of the reb-ntles- action of the authorities in punishing infraction?" of orders is contained in one notice in which attention in called to the fact that the police "have :i;iin been notified to seek out and ":?rinp to ruthless punishment, originators and communicatorfl of vritrup military, political, financial i öl economic reports." In another ! imilar warning is 'iven that ire police will "proceed energetically" acrainst those who repeated untrue reports. Vhnv On V. S. Preparations. Interesting liffht is tlirown upon the Iierlin view of- the preparations for war In the United States by a, paragraph of an order dated Juno r, la-t. It says: "While the news about America's x,ir preparations, such as the organization anil outfitting of an army 1.11110,000 Ptron to reinforce the 1 'rencii-I'nslish front is looked upon' in that form, n 'bluff the npreadinz of which may unfavorably nflect the opinion of the German people, yet the fact must not be overlooked, on the other hand, that the United States, with the support of Jts capacity for material and industrial management is arnunp itself f.r war with "teat energy and lenafiiy. The war preparations in America, are, therefore, ;is was intimated in the reichstac: at the time, not at all to he made little of. hut must be taken friou ly without on "that account l-cin riade a source .f worry." Another, dated June f, sayp; "Petit l'arisien inform lis that live Ainrriiuin divisions. numbering j 2 Ö . h 1 1 men. may he expected in I'nuioi in the autumn of 1117. It J uru-ently requested not to reproduce this information without some eminent. We do not wisli to unlerestimare. the ability of America to accomplish thintrs. but must not. u the other hand, overestimate it. 3 n order to brine a division over from America 7 .,fi0t tons must jnake t he trip twice. Therefore, from the mere fact of lack of space, the transportation of such a body f troops within certain tixed time limits i-, impossible. Moreover, it is Jmpe-iiMe to train these troops j.roperh by autumn. These facts. hich hae recently been disclosed Ja the German war news, cannot be too strongly emphasized in the dismal,. n f that 5'irnclt news." lkni On Ant i-Gci man Spnas lies. r-;i!tiü- of ant i-( Icini.m speeches in the Austrian parliament are forl.'.ibicn ia various instances, and the tittitude to taken by the German .r', both for its effect at homo s r.d lipon Aur-ti it - II u n uary. is indi-at-d in the follow in.-, dated June f.: "A few das aro the Austro-ITun-pariin press was left free to di.-er.ss (he wai alni.

The hostile Bovernrnents try to frustrate the effect of all publications bearing upon the agreements with all the means at their disposal in order that their people may not learn the war aims and the reasons why they were egged on into the war. "' Jast spring a large number of Russians were repatriated from Switzerland through Germany to spread German propaganda in Russia. In this connection the censor "Nothing is to be published concerning the journey through Germany from Switzerland of Russian emigrants." Later this instruction was revised to permit publication of articles concerning the journey of the immigrants, "but without comment." Seriems Ixnoniic Conditions. Serious economic conditions arc disclosed by the censorship orders. One forbids the publication ef advertisements of dog meat for sale. Samples of some of tire other orders or m eme ran da follow; "There is no objection to the reprinting of the manifesto of the independent socialist party, in case it is adversely commented upon even withruit irritating sharpness." "In the interest of a victorious carrying through of the war, which is endangered by every stoppage of work, expressions of the press which recommend a strike or express themselves otherwise in favor of a strike are forbidden. Utterances which are directed against strikes are indeed not subject to censorship, hut it is supposed thereby that they are kept free from immediate sharpness which could offer material for irritating the people." "Reports concerning disturbances in Koenigsberg in Prussia and concerning a warning from the commander of the tirst army corps, which followed in the Koenigsberg press, are impermissible." "It is desired that it should be clearly and distinctly put in the foreground that the enemy offensive has utterly failed on all fronts, that the entente has no alternative but to attempt a new offensive as the enemy's statesmen are still against p.ace." "Recently Reuter dispatches have i entirely English reports from Rus sia concerning commencing dissolution, of chaos, etc., and strikes are worthy of notice. It is requested to always make such news as English reports and to assume an attitude of reserve toward them and occasionally to add thereto a critical word." Nothing on London Raid. "Concerning the most recent bomb attack by a Gorman flying machine on London nothing may be published." "Attention is drawn to the frequent ill-humor at the front when i appears, from the selection of captions for the iepott- of the war events.' that the press out of need for sensation or awkwardness does not permit the recognition of which th" -ent is the most important." "The publication and discussion of the le-sotutions adopted in a strike meeting of the Leipzig unions and of a telegram sent to the imperial i ha r. eel b1 r are ra t permissible." "The publication is to be avoided of anything concerning the state of the clothing material business and comeminc the purchase of clothing material in the occupied districts, as well as in Switzerland."

Iowa Pastor Starts Storm by Tales of Drunken U.S. Soldiers

lA)Sln)X, J.m. S. Much indignation has been caused among American army and navy officials and other Americans in London because of reports circulated in the United States that American soldiers and sailors in Europe were drinking to excess. This indignation has been intensified by a charge made in his sermon at the City Temple by the Rev. Dr. Josepn Eort Newton of Iowa, the pastor, of drunkenness among American soldiers in England. "When I see American boys staggering in the street drunk. I hate lyondon," was one of the utterances of Dr. Newton. Vice Admiral William S. Sims, commander of the American naval forces, and Col. S. L. Slocum. military attache of the American embassy in Ivondon, today declared that the charges of drunkenness were false and that they also were a reflection on the American forces as well as an insult to Great Britain. Admiral Sims said there never was a time in American history when there was so little drunkenness among the American fiehtlng forces. He had been here for eight months, lie said, ami had visited the American flotilla base and various cities in England and on the French front and never had seen a drunken American soldier or sailor and no case of drunkenness in the navy had been called to his. attention. Did Not Como to Got Irunk. "The Americans did not come to Europe to get drunk," Admiral Sims continued. "This war is a serious business with them, as far as the navy is concerned, the young men who are hunting for submarines realize that they must have all of their wits about them. Besides there is a tine feeling of honBILL 37 TO Measure Pending Four Years Made Possible by Cutting Out Naval Reserve Holdings.

Walter o declared that he a drunken Amerion this side of the Mines Ease, the American ambassador, and the secretaries of the embassy; the American consul general and the officials of the consulate all made similar assertions that they had never observed an intexicated American soldier or sailor in the streets ef London or anywhere else in this country. ' The Rev. Dr. Newton, in a statement today, said that he was called recently to Ragle Hut, the Y. M. C. A. headquarters, and that there were three American soldiers there who were so intoxicated that they could not take off their clothes and go to bed. One of these men, he added, had been baptized by him years ago. "I have seen Americans drunk in the streets," Dr. Newton continued. "I am as proud of my country as the army and navy officials are, but I am thinking of these boys." OonhiifNl to IVw Cassis. An investigation Monday showed that it was the general opinion that any drunkenness on this side of American soldiers and sailors ifi confined to a few isolated cases and that Dr. Newton's remarks are deprecated by British oflicial?. One of these officials said today: "Dr. Newton's allegations regarding intemperance generally afe ia striking contrast to the known facts. Regarding drunkenness in London at the present day the total number of cases during the recent Christmas and New Year's holidays showed a decline of 69 percent, as compared with the figures of 1915". y-, - .4 Johnson, California; Knox, Lodge, McCumber, McLean.
