TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1917. 5 STRICTER RULES OF .CENSORSHIP GIVEN Press Scored After Publishing Mews in Accordance With Old Policy. VIOLATIONS ARE CHARGED Scope of New Regulations Is "Widened to Include Arrival of American Troops In France and Snipping Activities. WASHINGTON. July to. A new list f press regulations making: material changes in the voluntary consorshlp rules under which American news papers have been operating was pro mulgated tonight by the committee on. public information. The new regulations contain the first reneral request that there be published no mention of the arrival of American troops at European ports, replacing In tnat respect an express authorization In the old rules for use of any cable dispatches passed by the European censors. Other sections of the old regulations are made more severe by specific stipu lations In place of the more general language employed In the rules in force until now. Information la Described. Information which the Government considers might reveal military move ments or policies Is described In de tail. In the statement, according to the new regulations. George Creel, chairman of the committee, says that "repeated and serious violations of voluntary consorshlp have been attempted to be excused on the score of misunderstand ing" and that a "restatement" Is made with the idea that hereafter there shall be no room for doubt as to the com xnitte's desires. The Instances to which the most serious charges of violation have been made, however, have not resulted from misunderstanding of the committee's rules, but from following them im plicitly. These instances have involved publication of dispatches passed by the Kuropean consors announcing the ar rival of American military units In Europe. New Principle Substituted. On this subject the committee's only standing rule contained in the general list promulgated May 28 and never re placed nor revoked was as follows: "All messages received from abroad by cable or wireless are censored at the point of dispatch or receipt and are free for publication unless some especial circumstance arouses the sus picion of the editor." The new rules, instead of stating this principle, substitute for It a pro hibition on publication of: "Information of the arrival at any European port of American war vessels, transports or any portion of an expedi tionary force, combatant or non-combatant, until announcement Is author ized by the Secretary of War or the Secretary of the Navy." "Scolding" Given Papers. Secretary Baker and Mr. Creel were seen together at the former's office to night by a representative of the Asso ciated Press. In reply to a question as to whether he subscribed to the language in the paragraph discussing Alleged violations, Mr. Baker said he had approved the whole statement, al though he had not written it. Mr. Creel said that Secretary Daniels, who could not he reached tonight, also had approved the statement before It was Issued. Mr. Baker authorized the statement that he had in mind. In relation to the strong language employed by Mr. Creel, no speclflo newspaper or press asso ciation. In the harsh language used, he Insisted, the purpose had been to do what many press representatives asked be done to "scold" offenders. The secretary said he had received n. report from the war college show ing nine separate items published In .American papers of recent date which thQ officers at the college regarded s furnishing valuable Information to the enemy. Purpose Is General. Mr. Creel declared that the purpose of the paragraph referred to was gen cral, not directed at any specific case or cases. The whole purpose of the new regu lations, both Mr. Baker and Mr. Creel Insisted, was to make Impossible any further misunderstanding of what was desired. The committee's statement follows "The desires of the Government with respect to the concealment from the enemy of military policies, plans and movements are set forth in the follow ing specific requests. They go to the press of the United States directly from the Secretary of war and the Secre tary of - the Navy, and represent the thought and advice of their technical advisers.

PREPARATIONS BEING MADE AT CAMP TO RECEIVE NEW TROOPS Supplies, Including 800 Cantonment Cots, Already at Hand Water Supply to Be Increased But Few Soldiers Are HL BY WTXli G. MAC RAE. WITH THE THIRD (BEAVER) REGIMENT. OREGON INFAN TRY, July 80. (Special.) While the schedule for the ninth week calls for no end of hard work. It Is going to come' in for a fair lot of slighting. Soma time during the week all of the units that have been guarding railroad bridges, railroad tunnels and rounding up the I. W. Ws., will be back. Then will come the new assignment of troops to their destination. In the meantime camp Is being made ready to receive them. For a week large details of soldiers have been busy making the ground ready for the home-coming companies. The work has Included the switching of the picket lines, the blasting of stumps, the digging of a well, and tha arrival of quartermaster stores for the units which came Into the service on July 25. Because of the vast amount of work being done, heavy Inroads have been made on the companies that have been weekly following the schedule, and a company commander Is lucky If he can turn out 60 men for drllL Just how soon the Portland units will be moved to this camp Is hard to guess, but the move will be made lust as quickly as the supplies arrive. Even this end of the war game Is being played "pronto." The quartermaster's department has an unbroken record for breaking down when put to the test, but Judging from the prompt way in which supplies for the new units are arriving, both at camp and at Port land, this very Important department of the Government Is going out to es tablish a new record. In the supplies which have arrived are about 800 cantonment cots and lum ber for flooring for the squad tents. An expert welldigger has Been called in to finish digging the well. The in tention is to drive the well deep enough to find water, not only for the stock it Is understood that arrangements are be ing made for the care of something like 700 head but for camp use as well. Two months ago It was Citizen C. I. Califf, expert blacksmith and horse- shoer. Less than a month ago It was Private Califf, horseshoer In Troop A. Five days ago it became Stable Ser geant C. L.

Papers published In ports should, with especial care, refrain from giving In formation to enemy agents in regard to ships stationed or calling at such ports. Because dangerous news Is known locally It does not follow that it can be safely published. Non-publication of dangerous news obliges the enemy to rely on spies actually In the localities concerned, thus adding dif ficulties and delay in its transmission. '12. Information of the identities of American merchant ships defending themselves against submarines and the identities of their captains, their gun crews and crews. wo matter irora which side of the ocean comes the news. it Is asked that this Information be withheld from publication. Editors will appreciate the importance of co-opera tion to withhold from the enemy sucd information as might expose the offi cers and men of merchant ships to the danger of cruel and outrageous re prisal. '13. Information of coast defenses of the United States. Any Informa tion of their very existence, as well as the numben, nature or position of their guns, is dangerous. "14.

"Photographs conveying the informa tion specified above should not be pub lished. "Repeated and serious violations of the voluntary censorship have been at tempted to be excused on the score of misunderstanding or lack of positive information. Pains have been taken to make this re-statement of necessary secrecies so complete and explicit as to leave no room for honest Ignorance or dishonorable evasion. Neither do the requests go forth with any time limit. Their application covers the period of war. At no point do they touch opinion or criticism, being con cerned entirely with the protection of the lives of America's defenders and the success of military plans. "These requests go to the press with out larger authority than the neces sities of the war-making branches. Their enforcement is a matter for the press Itself. To the overwhelming proportion of newspapers, who have given unselfish patriotic adherence to the voluntary agreement, the Govern ment extends its gratitude and high appreciation." Both Pedestrian and Rider Hurt. Fred Bell, a salesman living at 490 Tavlor street, was struck by a motor cycle ridden by Grover C.

FEDERAL TROOPS NEEDED Shipbuilding Trades on Grays Har bor Refuse to Handle Lumber From Slills Where Strikes Are In Progress. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 30. (Special.) That it Is the duty of mill owners and employers to do everything possible to end the timber strike In this state, and that the strike can be settled quickly if employers will take the initiative was formally presented to the state council of defense today by a delegation of Mayors from cities most affected by the prevailing lumber trouble. The Mayors' delegation included J. S. Mc Kee. Hoqulam: John Galvin, Centralia; A. Kirkeldie, Elma; A. C. Little, Ray mond; Charles Coon, Port Townsend; H. D. Merrill, Everett The council took no definite action on the Mayors' resolution and It was stated that local action to bring peace would follow failure of the state coun cil to act. According to Mayor Little, the strike on Willapa Harbor could have been settled in the recent confer ence at Raymond, but for the fact that the mills there belonging to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association could not recognize the union nor grant eight hours without consent and approval of the association. As the result of reports by C. H. Parker, Federal examiner of labor troubles in this district, and from other Bources, the council authorized an ap peal by Governor Lister to the Secre tary of War to rescind the order re moving Federal troops from guard duty In the state on August 1. The department is asked to maintain pres ent patrols until state troops not yet organized can be substituted. Mill owners in the mountains, upon which the east side farming districts depend for Winter luel and fruit boxes, have served notice that they will not attempt to operate If troops are with drawn, on account of threats of I. W. W. members, bunches of whom have been rounded up and placed in stock ades and are to be released If troops leave. That a fruit box and fuel famine is Inevitable this Winter in Central Washington was stated by L. G. Gard ner, of the Great Northern Lumber Company, at Leavenworth. The council today announced the re tention of Scott G. Henderson as spe cial assistant attorney-general in maintaining order, and set its next meeting for August 13 at Tacoma. While the session continued, reports came in today from Grays Harbor yards of shipbuilding trade3 refusing to handle lumber from mills where strikes were on. A general shut-down of shipbuilding is predicted if the lum ber strike continues more than a few days longer. The council held a long executive session, but announced no definite policy or plan of action other than urging conciliation. The Council decided to engage a spe cial attorney as adviser, and adopted a resolution calling on the National Coun cil of Defense to request the Interstate Commerce Commission to permit the railroads to perfect a pooling agree ment in order to eliminate unnecessary service. Dr. Carlton Parker, Federal inspector of cantonments for the Pacific Coast, who appeared before the Council, de cleared that the lumber situation in the state Is so serious that it may have a decided effect on Government work.

The War Department has had another conference with the Department of Jus tice and the Council of National De fense in regard to the activities of the I. W. W. in Oregon and Washington, especially as those activities are re tarding work on Government contracts, but as far as known no decision has been reached. The War Department after August 1 will issue no orders detailing troops to guard mills, plants or public utilities in the West, but will place full discre tionary powers in the hands of General Liggett at San Francisco. It will be left for General Liggett to determine whether National Guardsmen now doing police duty in Oregon and Washington shall remain on detail or proceed to Palo Alto.

That officers of Klamath County are preparing to take summary measures in the disposition of I. W. W. cases com ing up there is indicated in a tele gram received by Attorney-General from District Attorney Duncan, of that county, tonight. The Attorney-General Is asked If under the vagrancy law a Justice of the Peace can require those found guilty to work on a rockpile, or, if Imprisonment sentences are pro nounced, if the Sheriff can, upon order of the court, require prisoners to work on a rockpile or on roads. The Attorney-General said he prob ably will file his opinion on the sub ject tomorrow by telegraph. In an informal way tonight, he said that a Justice of the Peace can pro nounce sentence only as provided In the statutes, and that prisoners can be worked on the roads only on order of the County Court. In his offhand statement he said he knows of no statute that provides for serving on a rockpile, but will investigate fur ther before sending his final opinion to District Attorney Duncan. . "When the I. W. W. troubles devel oped at Klamath Falls Governor Withycombe recommended the rockpile method of handling prisoners to keep them from mischief until after the harvest season closes.

W., and was arrested at Grand avenue and Powell street while passing out handbills, proclaiming that all the tlmbermen and millworkers of the Northwest were on a strike. Among the interesting features of Erlandsen's propaganda was a list of the concessions the I. W. W. demanded before settling their alleged strike. They wanted a minimum wage of $3.60 a day with free hospital service: they wanted each man In the lumber camps to have a separate bed with linen sheets and pillow-slips, and they wanted shower-baths erected in connection with sleeping quarters. They also de manded that the timber operators re fuse to hire nonunion men. Highway Improvement Planned. KELSO. Wash., July (Special.)
