9 i MUST AWAKE WAR'S REALITY ) Bnrton Favors - Wide Gmpnign of Education pta, Ga., June 20.—A nation- _campaign of information “de- ly designed to bring the people the United States quickly to a jugh understanding of all phases If the war, of why we are in it, of the d of enemy we are fighting, and of urgent necessity for the whole 9Dls of the United States to join | thefr very hearts and souls in the ndous task,” was advocated by py Burton, in an address which ! ivered today before the Interna- Mnal Rotary convention here. Mr. . the well-known American ist in London, who has been ng in the United States upon g:q.on of the United States to spoke as follows: nearly three years the grim beny: index finger of ‘war has ited straight this way. nearly three years, and each n day with accumulating .urgent reasons have existed for ng in order the defensive machin- of this country. 3 nearly three years of war somle such as the world never péd of before, involving country “country, and sweeping steadi- ‘on, ‘like wn- dverwhelming tidal - with' wnlnx after warning of nder from the darkening skies 1 all who were not blind and BARE QPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL JUNE : £ it il ™ ;!

It also finds this country astoundingly unprepared. Delays Mean Death “I am not one of those who believe the Allies can be defeated—they must surely conquer in the end; but so serious are some features of the war sitiation today that unless the peo- ple of the United States awaken quick- ly to a full sense of their individual Tesponsibilities and join heartily in the work of organising the country. for ‘war on an enormous scale, there is al- most certain to ensue a long period of ghastly fighting and world-wide suf- fering—with ruin and starvation on ‘every stde—and: by a long period I mean from five to twenty years, or more. “The war program cannot be made effective without the full co-operation of the people. That co-operation can- not be expected until the people have been aroused to-a full and complete understanding of the war, of what it means to them and their future, and of the obligations and responsibili- ties which devolve upon them if it is to be won within the next two years. “I would like to repeat with the utmost emphasis what I had the priv- ilege of stating recemtly to the Mer- chants’ Association of New York, that it is absolutely essential for those who are shaping the general war program, without further delay, to organize and project, under government direction, a great and farreaching campaign of information designed to make the people understand this war. It should be made to reach the eyes and the hearts and the full understanding of the people by freely using the adver- tising and tlie news columns of every useful - publication in the United States, and by using the movies, the billboard, the post-offices, the public buildings, the rallway stations, and the public conveyances, as was done in the great publicity campaigns which were successtully used. to arouse .the people of England to a full sense of their danger and their responsibili- ties at a tritical period of the war. In aadition to this, schoolrooms, the lec- ture halls, the churches, the libraries, the city halls, the public squares—all the meeting places of the people in every state of the Union should re- sound ' with' the' vol ‘of America's greatest and most 1 speakers, telling the people- the full truth, ithe basic facts, about this war. “If, coupled with this urgently need- ed campaign, there could be accom- plished a radical revision of the French and English censorship rules, permitting & much freer flow of all sorts of war facts and war develop- ments from: the fighting areas than is posaible under existing conditions, the effect, I feel sure, would be enor- mously beneficlal to the - whole Al- W IN YOUR OWN HOME Asze you still olinging to the old<fashioned “rub-on<the- board™ way of washing your clothes?

New York, June 20.—Plans for making New York-the chief center for the administration of the export of provisions of the esplonage law and the Trading-with-the-Enemy bily, about to be enacted into law, are ex- of of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, ‘Washington, arrives here today or to- morrow to confer with officials of the local office of the bureau, located in the custom house. It also was thought possible that the preferential ship- ment measure, when it becomes a law may dovetail to some extent into ti tion of the two other meas- ures, at least when the question of rall transportation for merchandise for exportation is concerned, D. E. Casey, commercial agent of the local bureau, said that, while a big expansion of the local office’s ac- tivities was projected, with a view to dealing adequately with the changed conditions to govern export trade, neither the bureau nor the department of commerce was prepared to outline the procedure to be followed. The exceptional powers conferred upon President Wilson, and through him on Secretary Redfield, to issue licenses and otherwise decide wHere and +to whom shipments abroad shall be made -|have caused much anxiety among shippers in this city, as well as those .|inland who use this port for forward- _|ing foodstuffs, war ‘| supplies abroad. Exporters calling at munitions, and the local office of the bureau recently have, it was said, evinced interest chiefly in the system of export licenses to Be adopted by the government. Representatives of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce were sent here from Washington a fort- night or more ago to make a prelim- inary survey of the facilities existing in the local office for handling the immense export business expected to develop as soon as the two laws are made effective. It was thought prob- ably that additional office space would have to be found in the Custom house, is expected to allot extra space on the seventh floor for the granting of licenses and the carrying on of the other details of the embargo acts. A special committee, of which Dr. Pratt is a member, has been at work for some time on the tentative regu- lations to cover procedure. It was sald yesterday that this committee had had prepared elaborate tables of exports from the United States to neutrals, especially the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands, cov- erig a period of years, together with a mass of other information useful to the government offifficials in deciding what amounts and classes of exports could properly go forward from here without fear of a diversion of parts of the supplies to Germany, ‘With the opening of the export bureau here, one of the first matters to be taken up will relate to the al- lowances of American foodstuffs and other supplies required to ration Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, without at the same .time allowing Germany to 'obtain American products.

Hartford, June £0.—Every commu-. nity in Connecticut will celebrate July 4 this year as a day of conse- cration to national ideals and a day of dedication to national service, if the Connecticut State Council of De- fense succeeds in plans which it has undertaken through its committee on: publicity. The defense council has decided = that Independence ' -day means more to the American this year than it usually does, and has voted to request officials in every town to consider this special signif- | icance 'and arrange for the observ- ance of the day in such a manner that all the impressiveness of Amer- ican tradition will be brought home to Connecticut citizens on this occa- sion. It is not the purpose of the state defense council to interfere in any way with plans for the observance of Independence day which many com-' munities already have developed, Its purpose is to induce communities in which no plans have been ‘made for, Fourth of July celebration to begin preparations at once for a proper ob- servance of the day. 'Bome form of celebration is expected in every com- muntty by Governor Marcus H. Hol- comh and his war council The council of de!cnn -publicity committee is now engaged in prepar- ing a list of persons in th& various communities to whom it may appeal for assistance in putting through its Independence day celebration” plans. Features which it will recommend for the programg include flag rais- ings, music, both vocal and instru- mental, and speaking. The commit- | tee recommends that each town se- cure outside speakers as far as pos- sible, and offers the co-operation of its speakers’ bureau In arranging for thess patriotic addresses. It will ask the various communities to consider the advisabllity of special recogni- tion on Independence day this year for those men between the ages of 31 and 31 who registered on June § under the selective service law, both at the church 'service on Sunday, July first and at the patriotic gath- erings on Wednesday, July fourth. * Recognising the position in which America finds herself on this Fourth of July, the defense council’s com- mittes is pointing out the special re- ligious significance of the occasion. \ H.
