PULLAR & NIVEN NEWS FOR GREEL NONE FOR PUBLIG His “Reporters” to Be Given All Inside “Tips” Washington, Aug. 7.—An order is- sued by Secretary Baker for the pur- pose of clamping the ‘‘censorship” lid on the sources of information at the war department became public yes- terday. Secretary Baker instructed Adjutant General McCain to transmit it to all bureau chiefs *in confidence”. The order instructs officers to give reporters from Mr. Creel's bureau full information regarding government un- dertakings withheld from regularly employed newspaper men, despite the fact the American press has known every military move of importance made by the Government and has carefully repressed facts which might be of interest to the enemy. This is the order: “These representatives of the com- mittee (the Creel committee) will be * treated with confidence. There should be'a clear understanding that they are not members of the press but government employees under oath, and entitled to all proper confidence. ‘““When chiefs of the bureaus and officers find it necessary to discuss with these representatives information which they belleve should not be made public, they need only to give information to that effect. They should give freely not only informa- tion specifically requested but any information which the chiefs of bu- reaus and offices believe should be made public.” When Creel first started out to dis- pense the news he hired a staff of “headliners” including poets and mag- azine writers. The Creel News Ser- vice has never been a success. The la- dies and gentlemen employed by him have written many essays but they have not produced the news in which the public is interested. As a result Mr. Creel has decided to make some changes in his system. It is probable that many of his numerous staff will , quit the government payroll. Wallace Irwin, the versifier, who was Creel’s staff correspondent at the war department, has quit. His pieces were not used by the newspapers to any noticeable extent. Creel has announced that hereafter he is not going to have his staff write pieces for the regular newspaper men. It seems to be a waste of time, he has » confided to friends. PRAWN INTO PROPEILL R.

BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1017, GORE ACCUSED OF WIELDING KNIFE Chamberlain Replis to Criticism of Food Conferees ‘Washington, Aug. 7.—In a peppery debate over the Food Administration bill in the senate yesterday Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, sponsor of the measure, accused Senator Gore, chairman of the agricultural commit- tee, with having gone after adminis tration war legislation with a stiletto. The Oklahoma senator, he said, bad endeavored to obstruct nearly every war bill that came up. This accusation was made after Senator Gore had bitterly assailed the senate conferees for voting for dras- tic changes in the food measure, as- serting that they had backed down from the senate attitude as expressed in unmistakable majorities on var- tous features. Senator Gore suggest- ed that the word “recede” ought to be tattooed upon the foreheads of the senators who had “failed” ' the senate. Senator Chamberlain pointed out that Senator Gore had tried to block the selective draft act, and alluded to the draft riots in Oklahoma as reflect- ing the ‘“doctrine preached by the senator.” The tilt between Senators Gore and Chamberlain came after Senator Hol- lis, democrat, of New Hampshire, had expressed confidence in the integrity of the house and senate conferees, arguing that they had been impelled by a desire to expedite passage of a measure vitally needed in the war crisis. Senator Gore spoke of his own act, as chairman of the agricultural com- mittee, in turning over the handling of the food bill to Senator Chamber- lain, so as not to interfere with its progress in the senate. He hinted that he was not satisfled with the way Senator Chamberlain had steered the bill. “I do not know that I share the sanguine faith in the conference ex- pressed by the senator from New Hampshire,” sald Senator Gore. *“T rather think that the senate conferees might have tattooed on their fore- heads the word ‘recede,’ so that all who run may read it. I will not say a sort of mark of Cain. I think there is a great deal of dereliction on the part of certain conferees.” “There is not very much in this conference report that the senator from Oklahoma thinks is right,” sald Senator Chamberlain. “As a matter of fact, while he is tattooing on the foreheads of senators the word ‘re- tor's forehead and on the foreheads of some others the word ‘“obstruct.’” Senator Gore related the steps In the progress of the food survey and food control bills. He told of the Food Survey bill having been passed by the senate on June 1, the third day after it had come to the senate from the house, and went on. Gore Defends Course. $: “On the morning of June 15, the president requested me to call upon him at the White House. 1 did so. He stated it was his desire that the food control bill should proceed to consideration in both houses simulta- neously in the interest of econmizing time. 1 suggested that the bill was not an eligible bill to originate in the senate. It contained a taxing clause, and in order to be a valid measure it must originate in the house. I as- sured him, however, that I had no disposition to delay the consideration of it. I told him that I could not vote for the bill, but that I had no purpose whatever to obstruct its im- mediate consideration.” Senator Gore outlined the progress of the bill after his talk with the president, saying that, far from ob- structing it, he had voted with the other senators for unanimous con- sent for a final vote on July 21. Aft- er that he assembled the conference comrhittee, and, he said, not once did he interpose the slightest delay in the work of the conferees. I think it would have been wise to defeat the measure in conference,” sald Senator Gore. “Senate amend- mentg were stricken from it over my protest. I did not recede from the attitude T took in the senate. I did not hetray the trust committed to me by this body.” “There are two ways to obstruct.” replied Senator Chamberlain. ‘‘One is by the use of a bludgeon and the other by the use of a stiletto. It is true, as the senator 'says, that when this bill was Introduced in the senate it was introduced in the senate it was it was introduced by me at his re- quest, but there has not been a time since I introduced that bill that the distinguished chairman of the com- mittee has not used a stiletto on it whenever he had an opportunity to do so. I say that without unkind- ness, but I say it is true, just the same." S Senator Chamberlain reiterated that Senator Gore had attempted to delay the Dbill after it got to conference. “I say this,”” Senator Chamberlain went on, “because we who are anxious to have this bill passed and who have had to put up with the tactics cmployed to delay it must, forsooth, have branded on our heads the wora ‘recede.’ “Now, 1 had rather be charged with following in the tootsteps of the dis- tinguished president of the United States in the conduct of this war, crawling, if you please, on my knees and licking the dust from his feet, as has been suggested here in the sen- ate, than to stand in opposition to him and to be consorting with and conspiring with and treating with the enemles of the president. Not Gore's First Blockade. “So far as the President is con- cerned and so far as it is the desire of the senator so to treat him ‘that thrift might follow fawning {n the crevices of the throne’, that is a matter of cede' they might tattoo on the sena- | taste”, retorted Senator Gore. “The Senator can consult his own feelings and I shall not challenge his liberty to pursue that course. I shall not be driven from the course of duty either by the threats of power or by the smiles and blandishments of Senator Chamberlain reminded the Senate that the Food bill was “not the first Admunistration bill” that Senator Gore had opposed. “He has the right to oppose what he wants to”’, conceded Senator Cham- berlain. ‘‘But the Senator seems to forget that the United States is at war with one of the most powerful na- tions on the face of the earth. 1f the Senator ¢an get any glory from it, I call attention to the fact that some of the doctrines he has preached here have been resulting in the death of a number of the young men of his State. Whether he was instrumental in bringing it about I do not know, but well do I know that the very man who ure resistng the enforcement of the law enacted by Congress at the recommendation of the President de- rive encouragement from the preach- ments of the Senator in his State and in other parts of the United States.” Senator Gore demanded to know what measures he had obstructed and Senator Chamberlain specified the Se- lective Draft bill. Senator Gore in- sisted that he had not talked more than five minutes upon that bill and asked: “Am T to be characterized as an ob- structionist for opposing a measure revolutionizing the traditions of this country ?”" Senator Reed asserted in his attack on Mr. Hoover that the latter had been running a lobby in Washington. He averted to President Wilson having driven what he called the ‘organized lobby” from Washington in the early days of his Administration and pra- ceeded: Senator Reed rciterated his charge that Mr. Hoover, as head of the Bel- gian Relief Commission had specu- lated in foodstuffs in this country and had used the money so raised to fi- nance Belgian rellef. | PEACE BLUFF FAIS 10 DEGEIVE WILSON No Time to Talk Peace, Presi- dent’s Reported Attitude Washington, ~Aug. 7.—President Wilson had a long conference ves- terday with Senator Lewis, the demo- cratic whip, urged haste in the final enactment of the food <control bil and revenue bills, and is understood to have indicated that he does no. consider the present the time for dis- cussion of peace negotiations with Germany. Senator Lewis would not discuss the latter phase of conference, but it was believed that the president indicated that-he did not regard Germany's re- cent peace feelers as genuine and that he could be expected to let the country know when he believed the time had come for discussing peace. Snator Lewis declared that the president would not allow the Amer- ican people to lose any right or suffer any wrongs which *“his diligence could prevent.” The Illinois senator told the pres- ident he believed congress could ac journ Sept. 1. After he left the White House, Sen- ator Lewis said: “The conference was on the gen- eral legislative situation. The pres- ident is anxious that everything pos- sible be done to straighten the war legislation that congress and officials shall get some rest before the Decem- ber session begins. Particularly does he desire that the officers of the sen- ate press to early finish the food bill and the revenue hill. He wished me to convey his desires to the senators, and his hopes for quick action as will give all some rest.” Asked whether he had peace and iInternational Senator Lewis said: International Situation. “On that subject I do not quote the president, but do say for myself that when the true signs of peace based on the principles for which America discussed relations, power."” ' went into this war shall appear the president will be the first to treat with them, but when they shall come disguised as peace—only to serve the further cruelties of war—and the be- trayal of America, Woodrow Wilson Wwill be the last to be caught. ‘“The country will hear from the president on peace or war just as soon .as truth or any new actual conditions call for him to take congress and the people into his confidence. He will allow the American people to lose no rights nor suffer any wrongs his diligence would prevent.” It was further gathered from what Mr, Lewis said that the president would pay no attention tp German Peace offers unless they recognize the principle for which the United States is contending in the present conflict. In their talk President Wilson indi- cated to Senator Lewis that he thought congress should put the food control and revenue bill on the statute books and then adjourn, not to meot again until December, It 18 understood that the presitdent thinks that congress can finish the work mentioned by September 1, and then adjourn, This would give a holi- day of three months until the regular meeting day in December, This suggestion of the president may not please members 1in both houses, who think congress should re- main almost constantly In session in this time of war, The leaders of both parties have had in mind to take a recens um Boon as the war revenue bill was eut of the way and to reassemble fn about six weeks. Many republican renaters and representatives hold that it is necessary to have congress here to keep a eurb on the exercise of ex- ecutive authorit: The president ie s2id te believe that cengress needs a rest, and thinks tha:l Under the tuition of Lieutenant Paul Montariol of the French avia- tion corps, American aviation stu- dents at Mineola, N.
