authority to provisional govern

WAR WILL NOT
BE SECRET AFFAIR
As Correspondents Are Allowed
Great Liberty But All Mat
ter Is Censored.
■ f
United Press Service.
Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 12.-r
If war comes it won’t be a secret
war. There will be no hidden
monstrous things buried in the
archives of the War Depart
ment away from the sight and
knowledge of the American peo
ple. This much in respect of
the question of publicity, has
been decided by Secretary Gar
rison. The white light of Amer
ican journalism is to be con
stantly fixed on the American
army in the field, and the scru
tiny of the correspondents is
not to be limited in any way- It
is realized in Washington that
more of the possibilities of war
scandal lurk in secrecy than in
full publicity and the general, in
r Mexican campaign, who tries
hiding facts or conditions will
find himself accountable to
Washington.
But this doesn’t mean that the
American public is to get its
news hot from the front. In
fact it won’t. The truth is that
in the game of war under the
newest rules war correspondents
aren’t wanted. War colleges,
great European tacticians,
strategy boards—all the men
and organizations in civilization
w ho lay down the rules for war
fare, agree that war correspond
ents ought not to have a place i»
the game at all- In the English
army war correspondents have
no standing; they are not given
passes even for the annual man
euvers. The same is true in
Germany and France. The vote
of army men is unanimous that
the war correspondent is dan
gerous and must be done awrav
with as far*' as possible.
The United States, however,
if war comes with Mexico, is go
ing to try a newr tack. The War
Department’s plan is to permit
war correspondents to accom
pany the army but to place them
in the rank of officers, subject
to the slightest orders and wish
es of the commander
The hob that an observant
and unchecked war correspond
ent can raise in wrar time is
tremendous, in these days of
the wireless. The smallest facts
whiph hp mitrht send to his
paper in some distant city
regarding the movements of
forces, is sure to be seized up
on, when it is published, by
some agent of the enemy, who
I will send the news around the
world if necessary to get it to
the enemy.
The old way to check the war
correspondent, is by censorship.
I And so every word the war cor
respondent with the army may
| write for the cable, every letter
he writes home, to his mother,
his sweetheart or his managing
editor, will be passed upon by
a censor.
On the other hand, the new
regulations for war correspond
jents, provide that they may
!move about as they please in
ride the American lines and
! they particularly specify that,
j after the war is over and there
is no further need of keeping
| facts from the enemy the cor
respondent may cut loose and
write as he pleases.
The specifications provide,
particularly, that a war corres
pondent may entertain whatev

For n happy hour under ihe spell of ;

She is peculiarly endowed for such

plete note taking. j
Incidentally, no correspondent,
who starts out with the field
army, is to be permitted to re- !
turn to the United States, with-,
out special permission of the ,
war department. This is to ,
prevent any correspondent from ;
yielding his place at the front
in order to get back to the Unit
jed States with a story that
' might aid the enemy.
