Code Message. bv w;r..

1t seems strange that even now there
are many restrictions on the use Of as
ordinary a thing as a cable or tele-
graph wire. Yet 1t is true that nobody
u, permitted to send to or through Por.
'tugal anything having to do with the
deeds or thoughts Of anarchists and
that code messages Of any kind are
forbidden in Tripoli. Bosnia. Roumelia.
koumania. Herzegovina. Bulgaria ana
otner Balkan states. After that it
seems unnecessary to mention that
1urkey forbids code messages. but it is
. little surprising to find that you can
send a message to most parts Of Per-
sia In only one language-that is.
french-and If you address most
places In the land Of the shah your
message will be translated into the
tongue Of Gaul and diplomacy when It
reaches Teheran.
