MODIFIES CENSORSHIP RULES
American Government to Reduce
Stringcncy.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Secretary
Bryan virtually has decided to what
extent the United States government
shall endeavor to enforce neutrality
at cable offices and wireless stations
In the jurisdiction of this country.
No censorship on cables and modin-
cation of the present strict super
vision of wireless Is contemplated in
a plan to be submitted tomorrow by
Secretary Bryan to Haniel Won Hahn
hause. German charge d'afraires.
Should the German government ap-
prove the new suggestion 1t will be
promptly put into effect.
The plan would permit the sending
OF code messages at the Sayville, l..
L.. wireless station by the German
government or any other government,
but an American naval officer would
he retained I'm charge to prohibit un-
neutral messages.
Since the order prohibiting code
messages OF all kinds from leaving
the coast wireless stations. the Ger
man government has lost its cable tn
the United States. 1t has found itself
isolated from the world and protested
against the embargo. In wrestling
with the question officials and inter-
national lawyers have been trying to
lind solution that would give Ger
many n means of communication on
a parity with England. which has had
uninterrupted cable communication
from the. United States. At first 1t
was contended and virtually decided
that the American government should
apply equal censorship on cables and
wireless. The point was debated In
cabinet council. however, and the con-
clusion was reached that the cable
did not stand in the same relation to
the wireless. 1t was realized, how
ever. that to censor cables would
mean stupendous undertaking and
could not interfere with England's
tHTOuSn Cdn-
ada. England protested also against
n possible censoring of the cable.
claiming that Germany could cut the
cables at sea. 1t was finally deter
mined that the United States protect
itself against the unneutral use of
wireless stations and there was no
physical means for belligerents to in
terfero with wireless messages when
once sent from a neutral station.
IL was learned tonight that lhe new
plan would affect only the sayville
station, which Is German-owned. The
other powerful station at TuckertOn,

discovered that 1t had no license from
this government in accordance with

such license will he granted now
