I?i the futi.ro all tilth letters will be stepped at Ntw York tvA returned to their senders. . It is estimated that 300.000 letters a month have been deiayed in rbe pasi Vcause the men were in "repace- ' ment unit p." This "floater's mail" Is row being handled (expeditiously.

RELIGIOUS WORKERS Order From Washington Directed Against Camouflaged Propa ganda Spreaders in Camp When our citizen soldiers were first pattered into camps and canton meats in this country, there were, of course, not enough army chaplains to Follow the Crowd HEADQUARTERS FOR MARY TOGS Hats, Khaki and Inf. Cords, etc. Omaha Hat Factory 1234 "Oh" Street provide the new troops with church nervlcea and religious Instruction. Camp commanders were therefore au thorized by the war department to accept, In their discretion, the vrrvhrs of ministers who volunteered to visit the men In the camps and preach to them. At the tame time, all the churchvp, of every religion and almost evrry root, united to co-operate with the army authorities in training and selecting their best priests and pas tors, ministers and clergymen and re ligious leaders, to wear army chap lains' uniforms afld give their services to the roldiers bore and abroad. Now, It lias developed that some of the volunteer eamp pastors have taken advantage of the situation in ways tha". must be checked. They have bee- guljty of "proselytising," of cir culating "Insidious propaganda," and of expressing "indiscreet sympathy with disloyal and dissatisfied enlisted men." The war depart mpnt has ac cordingly decided that within three mon'hs after July 24, 1918, the ser vicer, cf camp partors rhall be limited to the properly accredited camp chaplains who wear the army uniform and whore lojaUy ard responsibility are known and guaianteod The crdcr tarring unauthorized re !ig;o-J9 workers, from the camps has liought a protest from n Fmall sec tion cf tie sectarian poss, although that cider was first submitted to thr committee of six who advise the se r'.ay of war upon religious matters, and also to the commission on train in? camp activities, and approved by loth. The objectors declare that the c-riVr "strikes ct the root of religious literty." With a rare misunderstand ing cf the situation, they complain that- the government Ij 'trying to pre scribe what soldiers should hear and what they should believe." And they sro being encouraged by those iro German sympathizers who have lee.'' so busily stirring up religious differ ences and sectarian strifes in this country, in order to impair our nation al unity and set us fighri.g each other instead of righting Germany. The. order is p'&inly an exercise of rtccsrary military authority, of the simplest sort. It is directed against no rejigion, any more than the order tha; cnty military medical officers r-hail practice in camp is- directed against any school cf medicine. It strikes at religious liberty no more than the prescription of unauthorized orators in camp strikes at liberty of thought It is necessary for the main tenance of military discipline, for the protection of the camp against Ger man agents and German propagand ists, and for the mililary control of military arvas. The on.y persons who "onld reasonably object to it woud be '.he disloyal and disaffected who find themselves shut oat from an op portunity to instigate disloyalty and encourage disaffection where these wcu'd be most dangv-ro-,is to a success ful national defense.
