for the peaceful dissolution OF the
New Haven system, according to an
announcement after a meeting Of the

rectors' meeting said:
"a meeting of the board Of directors
of the New York, Nav Haven and
Hartford Railroad compaly vas held
yesterday afternoon at the Grand
Central terminal. After the meeting
President Hustis said that in pursu-
ance of the hope expressed in his
statement of July 81 that a way might
still be found to accomplish The peace
full dissoi It,o: Of the Dror critics. an

Complaints About
War NeDs

Our German friends who complain
that the war news in the American
newspapers is colorec find fault with
conditions for which Their is no rem
edy
The German newspapers here have
to print tn same news that the
American newspapers print. There
is no other news. All of us have to
rely upon the news sources that are
open. Every great American news
paper is bending all its energies to
obtain the facts regardless of nation
alities, and that is the best that any
body can do. Our friend the Stats
Zeitung, for example, which processes
to deplore the news printed in the
other New York papers, has to depend
upon the very Associated Press re-
ports that it regards as so untrust-
worthy when published in English.
Most of the news necessarily comes
from British and French sources.
They furnish the only channels of
news communication that are left
open, but even in France and England
the strictest kind of a censorship
is maintained. No European govern
ment is letting any news out except
the news that it wants to let out. No
body can know at this distance how
much is suppressed and how much is
colored by governmental
decree.
Complete and impartial news re- !
ports are impossible where the CEN |
sorship intervenes and the CORE |
spondents are subjected to military |
law. Military law and free press |
have nothing in common.
In the circumstances. and knowing
the difficulties which all of them have
we think the New York |
with one or two COM |
spicuous and incorrigible exceptions, |
have shown great sense and sanity in |
handling the news. They print ru-
mors as rumors. They print unoffi- |
cial reports as unofficial reports. |
They print unconfirmed statements as
statements. VIVA. more |
can be done?
II our excellent German friends are
prepared TO tell the World how to |
get authentic war news out of Ger
hany and how to get the German |
view of the military events that are
now taking place. there is no price |
within reason that we are not pre-
pared to pay. When the chancellor
