CENSORS PREPARE
GERMANY FOR NEWS
Permit Complaints of Lack
of Information to Appear
While Denying Defeats.
rBy cable TO The Tribune ]

Amsterdam. Nov. lS.- What is con
sidered an evidence OF the desye OF
the German authorities to prepare pub
lie opinion for. ugly truths Is the fact
that the censor permits so many com
plants to be printed as TO the lack
of news from the front and explains he
permits the papers to publish articles
in reply.
In general sense, the newspapers
have brought home 10 their readers
that German forces have almost en-
tirelv abandoned the offensive on all
sides. but they try to make believe
this is not so much by reason of any
progress on the part Of the Allies as
because Of new strategical conceptions.
destined shortly 10 bring the enemy's
career to an inglorious close. From
the severe lesson read TO pessimists by
the 'Frankfurter Zeitung," 1t would sp-
near as if these efforts of newspapers
are not meeting with the success they
hoped. This paper describes the situa-
tion as eminently satisfactory, seeing
that the Germans are everywhere put
ting ND a most victorious defensive.
Under these circumstances, the journal
insists. German public opinion Is wrong
TO allow itself TO be alarmed by the
assumed optimism or mere bluff Of the
Allies or to fall into the trap so
cleyerly spread for it,, to engender
panic throughout the land
The paper is constrained 20 admit
that the official bulletins are somewhat
laconic and are inclined TO dwell too
much on minor facts, but it says that
ali this will soon be changed and, in
anv case. the public should have the
good sense to trust the Kaiser and his
Gallant army.

Paris, Nov. rs. Among the many in
stances Of German foresight in prepar-
ing for the present war not the least
curious is book called "The Military
Interpreter" by Captain Won Schar-
fenort, professor and librarian Of the
Berlin Academy of War. This volume,
published in 1906, says "Le Temps" is
composed Of reports, letters, circulars
and notices for use in France during
the German occupation. On page 22 is
a model letter to the commander in
chief Of the French army in reply. to
a circular accusing the German troops
OF numerous violations of international
law. The letter addressed to the gem
erallssimo of the enemy says:
"In circular Of the Minister Of For

tions Of international law. The Ger

10 learning if anything has taken place
which could have been transformed by
the informants unworthy OF credence
or Of evil intention into the monstrosi-
ties denounced. An inquiry Of this
kind offered difficulties all the greater,
inasmuch as the statements were drawn
up in form extraordinarily vague.
For official assertions Of so grave a
character every indication of the name,
place and time is completely wanting.
