AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS HAVE AGREED ON WORD OF HONOR NOT
TO PUBLISH CERTAIN THIHGS!_THESE ARE THE GENERAL RULES
WASHINGTON, July .SO, (Mail Cor
respondence).—A new list of P!ess
regulations making material changes
in the voluntary censorship rules un
der which American newspapers have
been operating has been promulgated
by the committee on public informa
tion.
“The desires of the government,
with respect to the concealment from
the enemy of military policies, plans
and movements, are set forth in the
following specific requests. They go
to press of the United States directly
from the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Navy, and represent
the thought and advice of their techni
cal advisers.
For the protection of our military
and naval forces and of merchant
shipping, secrecy will be observed in
all matters, of:
“1—Information in regard to the
train and boat movements of troops.
Such information is at all times and
under all circumstances dangerous and
should be scrupulously avoided.
“2—Information tending directly or
indirectly to disclose the number or
identity of troops in the expeditionary
forces abroad.
4*3—Information tending to disclose
the names of line officers and expedi
tionary forces and reference to indi
vidual units of these forces. Only
names of the staff officers are permis
sible.
“4—Information calculated to dis
close location of the permanent base
or bases abroad.
“5— Information that would disclose
the location of American units or the
eventual or actual position of the
American forces at the front.
“G—Information of the movement
of military forces towards seaports
or of the assembling of the military
forces at seaports from which infer
ence might be drawn of any inten
tion to embark them for service
abroad; and information of assem
bling of transports or convoys; and
information of the embarkation itselt.
“7—Information of the arrival at any
European port of American vessels,
transports or any portion of an ex
peditionary force, combatant or non
combatant, until announcement is au
thorized by the Secretary of VNar or
the Secretary of the Navy.
“8—Information of the time of de
parture of merchant ships from Amer
ican or European ports, or informa
tion of the ports from which they
sailed.
“9—Information indicating the port
of arrival of incoming ships from Eu
ropean ports or after their arrival in
dicating or hinting at port at which
they arrived.
“10—Information as to convoys and|
as to the sighting of friendly or ene-|
my ships, whether naval or merchant. |
“11—Information of the locality,
number or identity of warships be- j
longing to our own navy or to the f
navies of any country at war with
Germany. Papers published in ports
should with especial care refrain from

giving information to enemy agents i.i
regard to ships stationed or calling
at such ports. Because dangerous
news is known locally, it dot's not fol
low that it can be safely published.
Non-publication of dangerous news
obliges the enemy to rely on spies ac
tually in the localities concerned, thus
adding difficulties and delay in trans
mission.
“12—Information of the identities
of American merchant ships defend
ing themselves against submarines!
and the identities of their captains,
their gun crews and crews. No mat
ter from which side of the ocean
comes the news, it is asked that this
information be withheld from publi-j
cation. Editors will appreciate thej
importance of co-operation to with
hold from the enemy such informa
tion as might expose the officers and
men of merchant ships to the danger
of cruel an doutrageous reprisal.
“Iff—Information of coast defences
of the United States. Any informa
tion of their very existence, as well
as the number, nature or position of
their guns is very dangerous.
“14—Information of the laying of
mines or mine fields or of any har
bor defenses.
“15—Information of the aircraft
and appurtenances used at govern
ment aviation schools for experimen
tal tests under military authority.
“If,—Information of all government
experiments in war material.
“17—Information of secret notices
issued to mariners or other confiden
tial instructions issued by the navy or
the department of commerce relating
to lights, lightships, bouys or other
guides to navigation.
“18—Information as to the number,
size, character or location of ships
of the navy or of the merchant ma
rine, ordered laid down at any port
or shipyard, or in actual process- of
construction; or information that they
are launched or in commission.
“10—Information relating to dry
dry docks and to all classes of work,
repairs, alterations or construction

schedules of traveling official missions j
in transit through the United States.
“21—Information of the transpor
tation of munitions or of war ma
terial.
“Photographs conveying the infor
mation specified above should not be
published.
“Repeated! and serious violations of
the voluntary censorship have been at
tempted to be excused on the score of
misunderstanding or lack of positive
information. Pains have been taken
to make this restatement of neces
sary secercies so complete and explicit
as to leave no room for honest ignor
ance or dishonorable evasion. Nei
ther do the requests go forth with
any time limit. Their application cov
ers the period of war. At no point
do they touch opinion or criticism, be
ing concerned entirely with the pro
tection of the lives of America’s de
fenders and the success of military
plans.
“These requests go to the press
without larger authority than the ne
cessities of the war-making branches.
Their enforcement is a matter for the
press itself. To the overwhelming pro
portion of newspapers who have given
unselfish ,patriotic adherence to the
voluntary agreement, the government
extends its gratitude and high appre
ciation.

tion.
