Turkish Pres. Censorship.

The censorship is so strictly applied
to the Turkish press that it was forbid
den to give any account of the murder
of the Empress Eliza beth at all resem,
bling the truth According to the &C
counts that were allowed to appear, she
was taking walk and was suddenly
seized with illness She fell to the
ground, got up again, and again fell un
conscious. In half an hour she was
dead
The use Of the words anarchist, nihil-
ist, etc., is forbidden, so the newspapers
have been saying "disturbers OF the
peace, 'lawless element, etc.. but
now the censorship has forbidden even
these and has required the substitution
of "Utopians' and Utopianism.
In order to maintain the fiction that
all north and central Africa, so far as
it is Mohammedan, is subject to the sui
tan of Turkey, it is forbidden to men
tion the English advance in the Sudan.
If anything is said, the names Of places
must be changed, for the Sudan, Kongo;
for Lake Tchad, the lake Of kuka. and
for Erythrea, Sohoa.
