THE BERLIN WIRELESS.

The New York Evening Telegram announces with
great show of indignation that it is going
to bar from its columns hereafter all Berlin wireless
news coming by way of sayville Long Island. The
Berlin sayville wireless dispatches have not been
grist to Mr. James Gordon Benefits mill They have
been telling of German victories And Mr.. BENEFITS
sensibtes naturally are extremely keen in this
gard He has spent the best part of his life in Paris
his feelings of course have become proFrench
that anything favorable to Germany must CRATE
harshy upon him.
Nevertheless it is hard to conceive how Mr.
Bennett allow his personal feelings to obscure
his judgment the extent of barring news from his
newspaper. In the kilograms announcement yeser-
day the following statement is made:
1.-The Evening Telegram announces, and with good
cause that so long as the present lasts it will
publish again single line of war news which is
sent out through any agency, German otherwise
as having come from Berlin by wireless
'This paper is in position to know that wireless
stations in this country have not, not and will not

So stupendous a victory did almost incred-

Germany must have had their doubts as to its cor

the confession by the Russian general staff yes
terday that two Russian army corps had met disas-
ter the Vstula with the loss of the lives of three
of Russias most prominent generals.
If the victory story from Berlin "manufac-
tured" in Sayve, the Telegram insists, the per-
son who manufactured it unquestionably possesses
the faculty of second sight, to have been able to de-
scribe in detail which the event proves
to have been almost identically he described it,
And, in regard to whatever discrepancy there exists
between the Sayville wireless and the St. Petersburg
dispatch the fault not be altogether that of Say
