Censorship 0bscures
War Zone Happenings

NEW YORK, August 11.-Ad-
vices to the Associated Press
from London state that an in
creasingly rigid censorship Is
being imposed on all matter from
Brussels. This increases the de-
lay on such dispatches as are al
lowed to come through.
The French cable company,
which. except those with termi-
nails In the British Islands, is the
only direct line to Europe now
in operation, has given notice
that the congestion on its lines
Is such that all messages are
forty-eight hours.
In an effort to avoid this delay
direct dispatches of the Associat-
ed Press from Paris are being
routed through London, but the
delay there is also very great.
Dispatches which left Paris early
yesterday are being received with
a delay of from fifteen to seven
teen or more hours; and other
Paris dispatches have suffered
even greater delay in transmits
sion.
There is absolutely no direct
communication with Germany or
Austria by any routing. A few
censored dispatches are coming
through via London, and these
are recensored for transmission
out of England.
The Associated Press has been
making every effort to communi-
cate with Germany through the
wireless companies operated from
New York. Sunday a message
was sent to the Berlin bureau
of the Associated Press and the
wireless company notified US that
1t had been received in Germany,
but since then only fragmentary
signals have been exchanged
over that system.
Inability to secure wireless
communication with Germany
since the cutting of the direct
German cable at the outbreak
of the war and the Increasing
rigor of the London censorship
still further obscured what has
actually transpired within the
military zone.
