ttSI& . Decision by Army Chief of Staff Has Inhibition Against Com foiling Enemy. BY THE JUJUOB OBSERVER. General Riddle, acting chief of staff of the American army, has issued in- | structions to com menders of army i camps' raising the censorship roles which have been in force for some time past. Heretofore camp commanders have maintained a very strict censorship over the matter which has been published concerning their en-1 camp men ts. The speech of Senator Chamberlain I in the senate recently brought atten1 tion to the present conditions and it is S understood that a conference . was held which resulted, in modification of the censorship rules: It was pointed out in speeches in Congress that if fewer restrictions had been placed on certain news, particularly at camps and cantonments, no such material as Senator Chamberlain surprised the I public with would have been possible. The order. Issued Wednesday of this week, lifts the ban from newspaper men entering the camp, but leaves the commander with full power to deal with any violation of the proprieties, In so far as giving comfort to the enemy by the publication of any military information. Heretofore, ] all matter published passed through j the hands of the camp censor, and in ; ' this war it is believed that much in formation of interest to the- public and still not infringing upon the spirit of the order, has been held up through precaution which" the camp censors have felt necessary. "There is no objection," says the order, 'to the writing of letters or! the furnishing of news items to news-1 papers, magazines, etc., from time to time, or to the publication,, with the j consent 9/ the writer, of personal and 1 private correspondence provided such activities do not interfere with the proper performance of military duty, i Matter written - by persons in the p" army intended for publication is re- i quired to be censored by an officer detailed for this purpose. The order further states that "the "object of this order is to satisfy, as! far as is "compatible with the protec-j tion of military interests, the natural, desire of the people to Keep in touch with their soldier representatives. It i la therefore expected that all concerned will comply with both the let-1 ; ter and spirit of Its provisions. 1 / "None of the foregoing applies to' press dispatches filed from national army or national guard cantonments or camps by regularly paid newspaper! ? correspondents not in the military! service. Their copy will not be censored by military authority, but the camp commander will instruct them trial tney must aanere ngxaiy to inu request for secrecy with respect to information of value to the enemy as defined on the printed card sent out by the committee on public Information. On violation of these requests the offending correspondent will be deprived of the prlvelege of the camp." AWAIT WORD REGARDING IMPROVEMENT OF CAMP Irl ?.? ! . ' No official word as yet has been received from the war department by headquarters of Camp Greene regarding the carrying into effect of Improvements of this camp which Assistant Secretary of War Crowell said he would recommend as necessary. This was stated officially yesterday at Camp Greene headquarters. So far as can be learned,, camp m- headquarters has no expectations either way, and is simply awaiting f any official advices that may come V; later. The Improvements mentioned by j Secretary Crowe 11 as necessary, in ; which Major General Biddle. acting: chief of staff of the army, agreed, l were installation of a complete sewer , system and the construction of a system of good roads within the camp. jjfwV- The season of the year and the condition of the ground at present make impossible the inauguration of such teg; work. CARD INDEXING ALL OFFICERS AND MEN Every officer and enlisted man at Camp Greene is being card indexed, that the war department or the di jr* vision commanders may be able at' any time to select a man or any sum- [ ber of men available for duty of a nature requiring peculiar qualifications and experience obtained in civil 1 life. The cards showing the name and record of every officer and en-1 listed man resembles somewhat the J qualification table in the selective u',-- service questionnaires, though includ- I ed In the 55 occupations listed in the, regular army-national guard cards are a number not mentioned in the) < selective service registrant's list ! These exceptions are mostly indicative of qualifications which are the result' of experience within the army. 1 Comedies of 11 'if ? ?-Ts-r " At Btrctdier practice: MS?y, Inju thin ley spot 'fore we make tliis trip rill A V-T I'dMPAVV H MtTH IV- I '* FA^TOY.
