Monday he issued an order forbidding any one in the department except himself and the recently created and ine: lenced bureau of foreign intelligence to give j out hews even as to “insignificant mat- ters of fact or. detail.” Yesterday he | anhounced -to ‘the press that any sub- ordinate giving out information con- veying a ‘criticisin of the department’s policles would ‘he ‘dismissed. ‘in reference to his first order of silence, had explained that he feared important policies might be Pprematurely disclosed and that some instances had come to his knowledge. He was pressed to cite such an i stance and he finally admitted that no important instance had yet arisen, but i that he feared for the future. He also did not disclose what policy of the de- partment it was that he thought might be subjected to criticism by the in- formed members of his staff. “Mr. Secretary,” said one corre- spondent earnestly. ‘““We are not here for our own sakes. We are here for the American public.” This suggestion produced no notice- able effect ' It 'was pointed out to Mr. Lansing that the publication of facts about some policy. upon which the de- partment was embarking might per- form a public service by warning the country in time to let its protest be- ctome effective, Mr. Lansing replied that a subordinate giving out informa- ton in a critical spirit was disloyal. [Two instances were given of con- fidential news having been glven out without authority. One was‘that of a cablegram to Jacob H. Schiff on a mat- ter which had practically no news value, but which appeared in the press beforse it hul‘h,oon communicat- @ other was of a as gayi “ that: the American mbuulcr to Mexico was hissed in the Secretary’ un-lu ‘relterated that the press would have to content itself with what. the: bureau of, foreign in- telligence gave out. The chief of the bureau is without newspaper experi- ence and his assistant has been in for- eign ' fields—Cuba, Chi and Eng- land—for several years. The bureau also has the task of supplying Amer- ican missions abroad with information. News Absolutely Cut Off. * Under the new order, a state depart- “TEETHING BABIES ALL SMILES | Mothers Rest and Stop Worrying. This news may seem too good to be true, but it sure is right. Young mothers are getting wise and listening to the tips experienced ‘mothers are handing out. Hundreds of mothers right in your own home town testify since using | “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” that teething bables hake lost all terrors for- them, they know they need not worry after a few doses.. As one fond mother expressed “It seems to act like & charm, you could see the little one pick up and improve from the first dose.” “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup" sure is a long looked for blessing for teething kiddies, it takes right bold, and mind you not a grain of dope, the formula right on the bottle, too, so you know' just what you are giving. No hit or miss about “Mrs Wllulow'l l’l’lp. Every mother owes it to the sufler- ing child, to relieve it with “Winslow’s Soothing Syrup.” It does the trick, you can see the little one brace up with the first dose, where before pain and téars, now smiles and good nature. Old' folks take children’s troubles as a matter of m-nd think, “Well we all went {! them,” sounds O. K. but does not help the kiddies, Give the little ones a chance, mother, do your part, gét a bottle of “Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” today.

The news gather- ers are cut off from communication ] with officials. actually handling the public business and have access only to the officially censored announce- ments of the department. Mr. Lansing’s attitude toward this matter, like that of Attorney General Gregory, who is respopsible for the censorship provisions of the espionage bill, it is pointed out, is hg striking con- trast with President Wilson’s views as announced in his most famous state paper. That paper was his measage to congress on April 2, asking a declara- tion of war against the Germn govern- ment. In that message the president distinguished sharply between the im-- peria] German government and the German people, and it was the secret diplomacy of an hereditary autocrat, he said, that made this distinction pos- sible. In his war mesage the presi- dent, after saying that self-governed people do not fill - their neighbors’ countries with spies and intrigues, went on: g “Such designs can be ' successtully worked out only under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions. Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression, carried it, may be, from generation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courts or behind the carefully guarded con- fidences of a narrow and privileged class. They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full nformation concern- ing all the nation's affairs.” ‘The attitude of the _state depart- ment and‘the; department of justice is provoking more and more criticism in congress and in the country. It was the subject of bitter debate in the sen- ate yesterday and again today. In the house last week the administration’s censorship * provision. was. stricken from the espionage bill on a straight- out test of st ; to be slipped back in lated, when many members-had left the chamber. In the senate the same provision has been materially weak- ened, and many senators say it will be refected entirely when a vote is reached some time this week. = BALFOUR PREDICTS FAILURE OF U-BOAT v Says Submarines Will Not Decide War,.in Senate Speech Washington, May 9.—To the ap- plause of the senate and crowded gal- leries Arthur J. Balfour late yester- day miade the confident prediction that the German submarine activity would not be the deciding factor in the great war. He declared that the war conference here had cemented an alllance of three great democracies destined to crush the greatest world menace ,of all time and to save civi- lization and liberty. Though severe trials still must be faced, he said, free peoples now have been aroused and fired. with a determination suring the ultimate triumph of frea institutions, “The war,” he said, ‘is not going to be settled by the sinking of helpless neutrals or by ‘sending women and children to the bottom by torpedoes or gunfire. It is to be settled. by hard fighting neither America nor Britain ner France need 'fear measuring themselves at any .moment against those who rise up against all that we hold dear for the future.” Mr. Balfour said: “It 'is not merely, however, your in-) l kindness of heart which has given this significance to contemporary events. That significance is. forced upon our notice whether we be citi- gens of America or citizens of France or citizens of Britain, but I speak es- pecially at this moment of citizens of America_and citizens of Britain. It is forced upon our notice by the un- wearied efforts of an unconscious Ger- man propaganda. Whether we live on this side of the Atlantic we English speaking peoples have never organized ourselves for military: purposes; we Fave never been military states, and when the war broke out undoubtedly the Germans looked argund the world, estimated the value from’ their point of view of the nations with whomn they might be concerned, and pro- foundly contemptuous of our views of civilization, whether they be, British views or whether they be erican views, they decided that neither Brit- ish ‘nor American counted in the struggle by which they hoped to ob- tain the domination of the . world: They found us unprepared; they found us unmilitary, and because we were unprepared and because we were un-, military they jumped rashly to the ‘conclusion, first, that we were afrald to fight, and, secondly, that if we fought we should be wholly negli- gible quantities. I think they are beginning possibly to find out their mistake. Men Weighed From Military View. “How, ladies and gentlemen, did that mistake ever arise? It arose from the, utter incapacity of the German ruling ‘class—and it is only of the German ruling class that I speak to- day—to estimate value except in terms of drilled men and miilitary prepara- tione. They saw that England ehd America were prosperous, were un- warlike, were immaersed in the arts of peace and involved in the industrial interests incident to a peaceful civi- lization, and they drew from that two conclusions. They drew from it m the first place the conclusion that because we were commercial we were therefore material; tihiat we were in- capable of high ideals or great sacri- fices, and that even if we determined iate in the day to pursue those high ideals and to make those great sacri- fices we should be so utterly incom- potent' in the arts to which they had devoted so mugh of their attention that our interference in the war would be a thing which they could leave wholly on one side. On that miscal- .culation have been wrecked and wiil be wreckéd &ll their hopes. It -was their fatal blunder—a blunder from which they will never recover, but a blunder which has saved civilization. ~I speak with confidence about the issues of this great struggle—a confi- dence which is redoubled since .yon have thrown in your lot with those who have been fighting since 1914.
