FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRTL 28, 1916,
and foreign, are done there, excepting
| the censorship of news. The service
j has been installed in these more com
j modious quarters in order to bring
| about more satisfactory relations be
tween the press and the government
J and between the press and the army.
■ i Though the news censorship in kept
apart, the war films are shown there
for the first time and examined by
the military authorities. Everything
else concerning the publicity and pro
paganda of the war is centered there,
.! includin gthe photographic service.
There are separate departments for
the French press and for the foreign
press with commodious waiting rooms
and work rooms for journalists; there
is a department on diplomatic infor
jmation and a department on military
information, the former subsidiary to
! the Foreign office and the latter to the
War office; it is there the war corre
spondent must go for the rare and
persistently sought permit to approach
the field of military operations.
Correspondents Held
Correspondents' permits are given
out in batches of six or less at a time,
land there are about two trips of a
maximum of four days each every
month on the average. Since there
are upwards of a hundred or more
regular American and English news
paper correspondents waiting their
i turn, to say nothing of authors, artists,
J intermittent and special writers of all
I kinds, with a considerable number of
| Italian. Spanish, Russian, Swedish,
jSouth American. Norwegian and Swiss
; correspondents, it is a great school of
patience to the ardent journalist.
The period of waiting is not devoid
iof heartburnings for the correspon
dent who was here "before tRe war"
! and has held the fort ever since. He
often sees a "special" man who ar
rived in the morning going out with a
J party to the front the same or the fol
| lowing day. That has frequently liap
| pened for reasons that are best known
lo the French Foreign office, but are
supposed to be chiefly psychological.
I The old war horses have become a
I little worn, the new arrival with a
fresh face, comes in with a more opti
mistic view of the situation and he
generally has some new argument to
! prove that he is the one man predes
tined to be the proper exponent of
11he situation in France to the Aineri
| can public. He has the further ad
vantage of never having yet had* oc
casion to complain that the time is
long between trips.
Conspicuous Represcn ta tiv es
It requires something like a hun
dred capable men, in a large propor
tion Paris newspaper men, mobilized
and detailed by the general staff to do
this work. There are among them
such conspicuous representatives of
the Paris press as Monsieur Robert de
Jouvenel, editor in chief of the Matin,
Monsieur Chameix, one of the mem
bers of the editorial staff of the Jour
: net des DejDats; Monsieur Rene Puaux,
,a war correspondent and a member of
the special staff of the Temps,
j There are also a number of men
from the diplomatic service detailed
to look after the propaganda of the
! war to the limited extent that France
lias engaged in such work, but chief
ly to take care of the wants of corre
spondents of foreign newspapers. This
service is under the immediate direc
tion of Monsieur Henri Ponsot, a man
of considerable experience in the con
sular and diplomatic service abroad,
and possessing the energy required in
dealing with the mass of detail con
nected with the desire of so many
correspondents to be all at the same
time on the firing line. Associated
with Monsieur Ponsot in this work is
Monsieur G. B. d'Anglade, former con
sul general at New York.
All these services are under the
general direction of Monsieur Gau
thier, selected by the Government for
general supervision of all the' affairs
connected with the press.
Parties of Four or Six
The correspondent who has com
plied with the regulations adopted at
the beginning of the war, has a medi
cal certificate, referenojes from his
ambassador as to his honorableness,
and who is fortunate enough to get his
permit to go to the front, joins a party
of from four to six. goes by rail to a
point decided upon in advance and is
there met by the officer detailed by the
general staff to show the party over
the itinerary previously arranged.
Few insignificant modifications and no
changes in the itinerary are possible,
and so long as the party is under the
conduct of the officer it is subject to
military regulations.
Arc Greatly Limited
What they see at the front is in
nearly every case a reptation of what
was seen by the previous party, but
that is the fault of the trench warfare
which has introduced into the military
operations a monotony that does not
at all further the Interests of the war
correspondent. The trips are generally
so managed that the correspondents
are able to sleep in a comfortable bed
at some hotel near enough the front
to be easily accessible in the motor
car. They pay their own hotel bills
and their own railway carfares, but
the mator cars are requisitioned ve
hicles provided by the general staff.
When it is all over and the copy Is
ready, it must be submitted to the
officer who has guided the party for
his censorship, and to avoid fraction
and curb the zeal of any correspon
dent tempted to get the better of a
rival, an hour is generally fixed by the
officer for the submission of the copy
in common. The revision of it Is some--,
times a simple matter—occasionally
quiet serious. The correspondent
must not give names of officers, num
-1 hers of regiments and names of places:
he must not disclose damage to build
j ings from bombardments if he named
jthe buildings and the town; he is fre
quently allowed to mention officers if
I he does not name localities, and he
ran Under certain circumstances name
localities if he does not mention offi
cers or men or specific destruction. In
no case may he talk about the number
of troops or the nature of the troof>s,
whether active, reserve or territorial,
neither can be say from where they 1
come because an Indication of the
homes of certain soldiers would give :
lo the German staff the number of the!
regiments, and thus help them to'ar
rive at an estimate of the tolal forces
in front of them. In describing bom
barded towns he must be careful not |
to mention any important buildings |
,tliat have escaped damage. J
PENROSE URGES
NO RESTRICTIONS
Says That Pennsylvania's Dele
gation to Chicago Should
Go Uninstructed
Special to the Tclcgntpli
Pittsburgh, April 28. Senutor
Boies Penrose declared for election of
an uninstructed delegation from Penn
sylvania to the Republican national
convention as the best way of serving ■
the interests of the Republican party
and outlined a vigorous campaign
with that object in view at the Amer
icus Club banquet here last night. The
Senutor received a great welcome and
was hailed jis iue party leader in
Pennsylvania by his admirers. The
; greeting extended to him was notable
even among the receptions given to
the three otner United States Senators,
ex-Secretary of State P. C. Knox and
eminent Western Pennsylvanians.
The Senator was escorted to the
banquet by a number of prominent
Pittsburgh men. During the day he
had attended a number of confer
| ences and was pledged support from
Western counties.
E. V. Babeock, of Pittsburgh, was
the toastmaster and in presenting
Senator Penrose, said:
"Senator Penrose has been in public
life continually for more than thirty
years. He is the only Pennsylvanian
to.be elected for four terms in the
United States Senate. He is the only
Pennsylvania Senator to become lead
er of his party in that great legislative
body. He is the only Pennsylvania
Senator who held the chairmanship
of the Committee on Finance, the most
j powerful committee of the upper
I branch of Congress.
"He Is to-day the foremost exponent
I in this country of that economic prin
ciple, so closely related to the material
J welfare of this Commonwealth, the
great constructive policy of protection
|to American industrials.
"His record, as a legislator is a rec
j ord of statesmanship. In view of this
I record, it is not surprising that many
jof the Senator's admirers have urged
him as of Presidential stature."
The l'curose Views
i Senator Penrose sounded the key
! note of the Republicans of Pennsyl
! vania, who are in favor of the election
of delegates who shall go to the ite
| publican National Convention at Chi
cago uninstructed on the Presidency.
Upon this issue, he said:
"We rapidly are approaching critl
'cal times. On June , the Republican
j National Convention will assemble to
select a candidate lor President and
I Vice-President and to promulgate a
I platform of principles, livery itepub
niean should be prompted only by mo
tives of the hignest patriotism. Any
one who permits selfishness, petty van
lity and ambition, tactional interfer
jence or aggrandizement to be project -
jed into tne situation quickly will di»-
j cover his unpopularity and lie will be
condemned by earnest ana sane ite
puulicans throughout the country.
I "This is not an occasion when any
lone should seek the ottlce of Presi
dent. it may be that there never has
been a time when this high office could
be sought for. Those who have sought
it in the past ushally have failed and
their lives have been embittered.
"Now, beyond and other time, the
office should seek ihe man. To be an
aspirant and.to promote a faction is
to arouse contempt. To be a candi
date for the purpose of making some
jsort of a supposed advantageous deal
is to exhibit such a belittling notion of
the situation as to make any self-re
specting Republican at the convention
unwilling to confer with any individ
ual entertaining such notion.
"The highest experience and quali
fications will be demanded of the next
President. We have had enough of
< untried and inexperienced men. The
| American people arc beginning to
j awaken to the fact that some previous
training and experience is required in }
| public office. Tne business ot govern- '
! ment is of great magnitude. Certain- |
j ly, some previous knowledge in gov- '
ernmental affairs and international
law is necessary. Well meaning plati
tudes ol humanitarian subjects occa
sionally have their temporary curren
cy, but hardly lit the serious business
now in hand.
"Let us pray for the inspiration;—
for the common sense of Grant, with
his patriotic faith in tne destiny of
the country."
Tlic Changeable Wilson
Senator Penrose devoted his re
marks mainly to criticism of the Wil
son administration, fie among other
things said:
"Every American citizen is careful
in discussing pending international af
fairs. It is a patriotic duty, so far as
we can, to sustain the head of our
government in administering these af
fairs. The President for the time be
ing is the delegated agent of the people
for this high purpose. The trouole
with the administration is that its
point of view lias been frequently
changed; its policy uncertain and be
lated. it now largely has run Its
course and after the November elec
tion will be entering upon Its close.
Hlttle or nothing, up to the present
time, has been accomplished. The
rights of Americans in Mexico have
been Ignored, the rights of Americans
on the high seas, up to the present
time, have been Insecure and unde
fined.
"Much is being said about prepared
ness. The American people generally
are in favor of reasonable and ade
quate preparedness. But they are for
preparedness only for defense.
"We have no desire to interfere in
the affairs of Europe. This feeling is
a national instinctt, prompted by the
teachings of the great men of the Re
public, from Washington down to the
present time. As a matter of fact,
those who have come to the United
States within a more or less recent
period came to this country to get i
away from conditions in Europe—-to
escape religious or political persecu- |
tion or class distinction, or to secure j
enlarged opportunities in this Repub
lic. It is not reasonable, therefore, to |
assume that any considerable number
of our people want to get mixed op !
again in conditions which they crossed
the ocean to escape.
"It is natural that the sympathies
of Americans should be divided among

"But I never have been impressed

"I have sufficient confidence in the
