BULLETIN BOARD BARRED. London, March 10.—Beginning to- dsy, street mews vendlers will no loager dlsplay posters to indicate the contests of the newspapers which they are selling. With the object of con- serving the paper supply the govern. ment hae issued an order prohibl the use of the “contents bill")as are called, which have been asliiiar on the strests of London:’ T0 PRESS FOR AID Asks That ‘News ol Ships' De- parf uppressed ‘Washington, March 10.—Following an intimation from the White House that publication of detailed informa~ tion about the arming of American merchant ships would be prejudicial to the public safety. Secretary Daniels last night issued an appeal to the press to refrain from printing where, when and how such vessels are armed and when they leave ‘port and with what destination, 148 At the same time he announced that he had requested the cable companies not to transmit messages concerning the departure of vessels fron Ameri- ‘can or jBuropean ports, The wireless is already under government control, and for more than two,years no such information has been ‘carried on it. Mr. Daniels in issuing his statement to the fact that the Censor- ship bill introduced .a few weeks ago had not passed, but sald he believed # voluntary censirship by the news- papers themselves would ' be equall effective. 3 + The secretary said there was reason to belleve that secret wireless stations existed on this continett which were able to transmit news printed in the paper to Germany, and. that, even it. no such stations existed, the news fre. quently got/abroad. The British and French papers, he pointed, out, were eagerly read in Germany for scraps of such information. Secretary Danlels in. his statement satd: s “You have read the statement is- sued from the White Houseé, and now you know that the president has the power to arm American ~merchant ships making trips on the seas on law« ful errands, and is free to exercise it at once. I do not think you ought to ask with what guns they will be armed or how they will be manncd or exactly when.the power will- be exercised. The government should be srusted fully to carry out the policy announced in the best way. § “I do not think you ought to ask Save Three &2 Hours out of Every* Four Your when the ships will be armed or print |’ when they will sail.. Today I rze- quested every cable company in Amer- ica not to send out any. news about shipe sailing to or from Europe. The wireless stations are under the direc- tion of the navy department, and no news of sailings will go out by radio. “I am going to request you and every newspaper and every news agency in the United States not to print any news about the arrival of ships or when any of them will sail for Buropean ports. There is -no Power of cenmorship in our country. The president does not have any au- thority ever .the press. In this time of national emergency I feel sure that every newspaper will accede to the request not to even give a hint or speculation of the sailing of Amer- ican ships. Such publication might result in the loss of life. As the rea- sons are so obvious for making this request, there is confidence in admin- istration circles that this request will be compHed with by every paper in the country. “All patriotic Americans are reads to make sacrifice for their country in fimes of emergency. The press can render the highest patriotic . service by refralning from printing at this time what ordinarily they would ly print. : A “Inasmuch as it will be impossible to reach, every paper and news agencs directly, I will ask all papers to carry this request, which is made as an ap- peal to patriotism, to all journalists and disseminators of news. The best news the readers can have is that the government will protect the rights of America to the freedom of the seas.” CAMPAIGN OPENS TO KEEP US OUT OF WAR Emergency Peace Federation Resolves That America Should Not Be - Drawn Into Vortex.

Berlin, via London, March 10.—The Berlin press is filled today with re- views of the life and accomplishments of Count Zeppelin, who shared with Field Marshal Von Hindenburg the honor of national popularity. The obituary notices recall the de- votion of Count Zeppelin to the reali- sation of his dream, which was not only manifested in matchless perse- verance but also in the sacrifice of his private fortune. The papers recall the emperor’s tribute to the count on his seventy-fifth birthday, when he called him “the greatest man of the twentieth century.” Count Zeppelin was ill for less than two weeks and the immediate cause ot his death was pneumonia. His death shrouds him in his favorite uhlan uniform, in which he was best known to the public. Of the long list and urged President Wilson to sum- |° mon all the great powers to discuss plans for peace. . A message from William J. Bryan, read at the meeting, stated Mr. Bry- ain’s opinion that “an overwhelming majority” - of the American people favor keeping Americans off belliger- ent ships and would exclude arms and ammunition from all American and neutral ships carrying passengers be- tween the United States and Europe.” He sald he did not believe the gov- ernment should arm vessels carrying munitions.
