War News in the United States

Willingly send any Information the
publication of which could be in the
slightest degree detrimental to the in
terests of the country in which we are
guests. Nevertheless, it is impossible
longer TO disguise from ourselves the
fact that we are treated as suspect"
We have asked for but received no
information of what is to be consider
ed as matter that may not be cabled to
America. We have discovered by the
costly process of experiment that
neither matter which appears in the
London newspapers after passing the
censor, nor even the official announce
lily available for publication in Amer
lea, both being frequently stopped al
together or mutilated out of all sense
of meaning. This we can only dis
cover when the newspapers come over
from America and from information
from our American headquarters.
All the ordinary relations between
client and merchant have been stopped
as between ourselves and the various
cable companies. We cannot find out
from the companies whether our mes
sages have been sent or not. At an
hour in the morning when it is OBJ
viously too late for matter that is not
already on the wire to be in time for
publication. We cannot find out wheth-
er any of our messages are still in
hand so that we may cancel or abbrev-
late them. Any request for informa-
ton meets with the reply:-"Our Office
is In the hands of the censor; we are
not allowed to answer any questions
or give any information.
One finds no more satisfaction in
to the censorship itself. My
own experience is as follows:-The

FRoM LONDON TIMES, SEPT.

FROM LONDON TIMES, SEPT. II.
To the Editor of The Times-Slr
have read with much pleasure in The
Times of this morning the leading ar
ticle headed THE Judgment of Amer
lea" l have the honor to represent IN
London a famous New York newspa
per, which publishes morning and aft
ernoon, and the news service of which
appears in a very large number of inn
portant newspapers throughout the
United States, Canada, the West In
dies and South America.
Naturally | should have liked to
have cabled to my paper this morning
extensive quotations from the article
referred to. l did not do so, as, in
spite of the advantage of five hours In
time that we have in cabling from Lon
don to New York, the experience of
the last five weeks has shown that it
was impossible to hope for the mes
sage to get through in time for publ
cation. This may seem to be an ex-
traordinary, even incredible, state OF
things, but it is the truth.
The press and the people of this
country have shown in no doubtful
manner their appreciation of the sym
patty and support of American opin-
ion in the great crisis. 1t is surely
strange. then. that the representatives
in London of the chief American news
papers and news agencies. to whom at
lease some share in the formation of
that American opinion must be at
tributed, should be treated by the
British war office as if they were work
ing for an avowedly hostile press and
people.
All of us recognize the necessity and
desirability of a press censorship at
such a time. Not one of us would

She suggested a cotton sales week,
during which all the department stores
in all the cities in the country would
make special prices on cotton goods.
This suggestion certainly has borne
fruit. so far as Washington is con-
cerned. and a costume show in which
only cotton will be used will be held
