Cable Censorship Run Wild.

In the opening days Of the war ex-
element extremes of precauton were
to be expected. Germany had It's spy
panic and seems to have recovered It's
senses; England was smitten with a
censorship mania which ought to have
worn itself out by this time but hasn't.
The restrictions placed upon cable
traffic, not only newspaper dispatches
hut ordinary business and personal
messages between London and the
United States. are unnecessary and alb
surd. They have become an intolcrable
nuisance.
The London press censors are
twcnty-four former soldiers who work
in relays In eight hour shifts. They
dc their work with pernlcious zeal and
sometimes with wholcsouled density.
But they are not the only censors. The
dispatches are reviewed again M the

and again In Newfoundland when 10

IL Is a very lucky despatch which re-

the time II Is delivered. But the gar.

from this Iteration of inspection Is II

H. view of the very great expense at
which the matter Is transmitted over

The need for a censorship is not dis

In the first place the editing Of des-
