nidi, first secretary of the Clreek Legation,
today resigned from that post Constant!
Midi said he would hereafter give his allegi
ance to the Venlielos force.
"I believe It Is the duty of every humane
and honest man to align himself on tho
tide of America," said Conrtantlnldl
"The -whole question Is one of civilization
and humanity against German barbarity
and bestiality of a type beyond human be
lief. When a nation calling Itself composed
of human beings sinks hospital ships, mur
ders women and children and uses Its dead
for manure ,lt Is time for all decent men to
turn their faces nway.
"When King Constantlne arranged him
self on the side of German barbirlty and
Infamy I felt that the tlmo to dlcsoclate
myself from his Government had come, and
I huvo resigned and offered m service to
the great Premier Venlielos. than whom
In my Judgment, no greater statesman lives
todaj He Is fighting exactly for tho things

the American people meet that need. It is a call to an AWAKENED
PATRIOTISM. But you will be none the less patriotic if you regard the
Liberty Loan as a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. The country is rich at
the height of prosperity. Uncle Sam needs money NOW, which he will
PAY BACK with interest, and for which he gives you GILT-EDGE
SECURITY the whole United States!
If you have money saved, buy a 3io per cent Liberty Bond. If you
have been getting a trifle more interest, charge the difference to PATRIOT

Liberty Bond on payments of $1.00 a week, or as much more as you can
spare. In a year you'll own a United States Government Bond GOOD AS

SUIT Correspondent of the Efrsivn I.ipom
WASHINGTON, May 20.
"WHY n censorship?" I nsked today of Georgo Creel, chairman of the
VV Committee on Public Information of the United States Government.
Creel snapped back, and ho snapped back in n hurry:
"Tho only kind of news we wish to keep from the enemy is the kind which
would be of tangible help to him in his military operations."
I believe I know Gcorgo Creel better than any other newspaper man in
thin country. I worked with him a long time. His work tells the story of his
worth. He has his foes among newspaper men. Ho is strong for the censor
ship. Ho believes that matters of a doubtful nature should not be given
publicity until they have been submitted to and passed by tho censor.
Thorc is, however, George Creel says, eclipsing all else, the problem of
preventing the transmission to the enemy of information. This news should
not appear in the public prints. "Tho enemy's spies," said Mr. Creel, "are
ever nlcrt. "No nation at any time, in any war, has been able to eliminate
the spy.
"I believe one of our chief problems is to stop the source of the spy's
information, choke him off, prevent tho leaks, interfere with the transmission
to his Government of what ho has lenrned.
I also asked Mr. Creel what of the news that may come from the front
should our troops become actively engaged in the warfare in France. He
replied:
"I understand arinngcmcnts have been made for American newspaper
men to nccompany the expeditions from this country. Tho news of what
those men may do will come from sources abroad. We have to do with
internal censorship only."
"What is the attitude of the censor toward opinions and criticisms of the
Government?" Mr. Creel was asked.
"Reckless journalism," he replied, "is regrettable enough in times of
pence. It is a menace when the nation is at war. The success of our troops
rests upon unity nnd confidence. Wo have nothing to fear from the nevvs
pnper men of the land. In no sense can the word 'traitor' be applied to news
paper owner, newspaper editor, news editor, copyreaders or reporters.
"The American nation is fighting for its life. The newspaper men arc
fighting with their pens, with their pencils, with their honest endeavors to
uphold, I hope, what is a fair and sensible censorship."
