what is forbidden and what may be passed, and enabling them to instruct their correspondents accordingly. He has also succeeded in co-ordinating the cabl., censor's office and the press bureau so that the two work on the same lines and now the majority of the matter which has passed the cable censors is passed iefin- ltely for publication and need not be re- submitted to the press bureau. Much val- uable time is thus saved. Practical news paper men have also been appointed to the cable censorship bureau as assistant directors, their duty being to look after the military and naval censors and hurry the copy along.
 These officials have been holding up whole dispatches for single sentence. but now owing to the efforts of the news papermen censors these offending or doubtful sentences are promptly deleted and the rest of the message instantly re- leased In spite of the new ara gne- ments, however, some imprudent corre- spondents continue to suffer severely, I saw what had been a 2000 word telesram fiom a famous descriptive writer in France the other day. No one but the censor knows what 1t was about for all that was left of it after the censor had finished with 1t was the statements: q speeded up my Rolls Royce motor car' repeated nine times
 - Fire Eating Admiral
 Ine British public, which at first was inclined to be little impatient about the iraction of the British fleet, is now more reeonciled to the wisdom of the policy which has been adopted. It seems tha [ the German fleet is safely bottled up and that the seas are clear for British com nerce almost as freely as in times of peace. In this connection am told that some weeks ago Admiral Sir John Peillcoe In reply to an inquiry, reported that he had no doubt of his ability to dig out and sink the German fleet. but khat to do so would cost half his own, and that the waiting policy would secure the same end at far less cost. l am also told In naval circles that Admiral Beatty who married Marshall Fields daughter, has applied to Jellicoe several times for permission to go In and blow the roof off Heligolapd,y . but that the naval commander-in-chiee has refused. It is said, however, that he has promised Beatty, who is one of the most daring officers in the service. that when the day" does come he will have front seat.
 Attack on Prince Louis
 All London Is talking about a disgrace 1ui yelled attack on Prince Louis of Bat tcnberg, first sea lord of the British ad- miralty. by journalist who is chiefly re- markabie for his hysteria. This attac took the form of a declaration that the suspicion of Prince Louis, on the ground that he Is a German, is quite unfouuded. There Is said to be no suspicion of Prince Louis, who is one of the most capable of- ficers in the navy, who has been in inc British service for 45 years, and who sur rendered his German nationality even carrier than that. The journalist wound up his article by hypocrit,cally suggesting that Tn spite of the fact that Prince -,ouis IS the best man for the job. it would be better in his own interest if he resjgned. A day or two after this article appeared ridiculous canard was set afioat by the rumor factory that Prince Louis had beer arrested and locked up in the Tower for 'nstruet'ng Sir Berkeley Milne to allow the Goeben and the Bresleau to escape in the Mediterranean. Of course. m one thinks that the writer of this article re- ierred to was responsible for the runor. n"t there 's little doubt that the article set the tongues of other irresponsible peo- pie wagging. Now for the origin of if all. I am told that many years ago when Prince Louis was a captain hc or oered the toural'st off hts ship. where he nad no right to he. and that the man has cherished grudge ever since then.
