DELANO HUDSON SUPER-SIX CENSORSHIP IS TIGHTENED AT AMERICAN LAKE Information Concerning Dis- Honorable Discharge Not Announced NEW OFFICE IS CREATED Judge Advocate's Office Es tablished ; Cases to Go to Headquarters TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. 9. Under direct orders from the; war depart ment the censorship at Camp L.ewls is being tightened. News of a rou tine nature hitherto permitted to be published has been practically sup pressed. The latest form of censot- shtp appeared today when Major Eugene R. West, in charge of the division judge advocate's office, an nounced that war department orders effective February 1 made it Im possible for him to give out infor mation concerning courtmartial cases Involving officers, dishonorable dis charge from the army, or life and death sentences. Such cases. Major West said, would be forwarded to udge advocate general s office at Washington, D. C, for review and then returned to the source of origin. In the past most of the courtmartial cases have involved dishonorable dis charge from the army. Major West further stated that in thefuture a Judge advocate's office will be es tablished In France and each mili tary department in the United. States. Then all cases at Camp ewia will bereferred first to the headquarters of the western department. Major West's statement was made when he was questioned about the reported sentencing of a man to 20 years' hard labor and dishonorable discharge from the army for having refused to obey an order from -a superior officer and for alleged threats to assault an officer. News hitherto given out at mili tary police headquarters is now efther witheid or referred to the Judge advocate's office. Official bulletins felling of tbj progress of the work of the "ben zine" board In weeding out the of ficers considered -unfit for military duty are now under the ban. Before the "not for publication" stamp on tnese bulletins ft was officially an nounced that one colonel, three ma- ors, tnree captains and about twenty first and second lieutenants woule be examined. Prior to that about twenty-two officers had been "ben zined" retired to the Inactive list. Brigadier General E. A.

MARKET TALKS MORE OF WAR . - iusierous Events Affect Stock Exchange Activity in Past Week NEW YOHK, Feb. 9. No essen tial changes from the more Impor tant influences who so lone have raided tlfo stock market obtruded themselves during the last week. There was less talk of peace and more of war. for which the Tuseanla disaster and developments at Wash ington were plainly responsible. Secretary Mc Ad oo s Dlan to make fortnlghly Issues of hair a billion dollars of treasury notes met with some opposition at first, because it was feared the burden of such offer ings would fall too heavflr noon local Institutions, but the compara tively slight drain imoosed was free ly acknowledged. The bin giving the government control of the railroads assumed more definite form, contemplated amendments proving acceptable, in the main, to financial interests. Rail road securities were unresponsive, however, probably because of tho urther drawbacks due to conserva tion regulations and the acute fuel conditions. Industrial rhares were again hand- capped by existing federal restric tions, although milder weather ef fected some recovery from the ex treme depression and reduced pro ductive capacity of the early day of the week.
