Creel, head of censorship in World War I, said: "George Clemenceau (French Pre mier) once said that war is too im portant to be left in the hands of gen erals. The business of keeping the American people informed and the enemy uninformed, for the same rea son, should be left in the hands of some one who knows how to handle information in a democracy." He said that the practice of sup pressing publication of names of in terned dangerous enemy aliens was "ridiculous."

Committees in charge lof Mrs. Frank M. Suma, Hamilton, and Mrs. Ray Sebald, Middletown, are 1 striving to wind up the Campaign within the next few weeks, the report stated, and it is expected that when all reports are in the goal will still not be reached. Many former contrib utors to the Association's program of tuberculosis clinics, education, and tuberculin testing have left the com munity for defense jobs elsewhere and have entered the armed services, it was said, thus cutting the expected income of the Association. Mrs. J. Paul Albert, Oxford, Chair man of the Program Committee, an nounced that a new contract between Mercy Hospital and the Board of County Commissioners had signed for the operation of the Tuberculosis Sanatorium for the next three years. Added beds for the care of the tuber culous will be opened as a result of the passage of the one-fourth mill tax levy last election. Opening is being delayed, however, until the added quarters can be remodeled to care for the added bed space. One hundred sixty-one cases of tuberculosis were discovered at the weekly tuberculosis clinics held at Mercy Hospital and the Middletown Hospital, it was reported by Dr. J. N. Christiansen, Medical Director of the Tuberculosis Medical Board. Seventy nine of these people suffering from tuberculosis were reported at the Middletown Clinic, and 82 reported at the Hamilton Clinic.
