Technical Reasons.

German newspapers will be required.
wherever practicable. to print the full
text of the allies official war reports.
according to statement issued today at
the German embassy.
The statement sets forth that German
army headquarters desire the publish
ing of unfavorable as well as favorable
Items. and military censors have been
ordered to pass official enemy war re-
ports without mutilation.
1.-The publication OF the official re-
ports Of our enemies In regard to the
ferent ways by the German newspa-
pers." said the statement. Many of
them publish the report In toto. others
only publish extracts. Cases have also
occurred where such news items which
are unfavorable to us are eliminated
from the report at the order OF the
censor.
THE latter procedure does not cor
respond with the opinion held by the
army Headquarters that the unabridged
quotation of the reports Is required at
nancial reasons or technical difficulties
demand special consideration.
we have the less reason to fear the
unabridged publication OF enemy re-
ports. as our own war reports are
strictly according to the truth, giving
everybody an opportunity Of forming a
correct conception OF the situation. The
fear that the official reports published
by the enemy might sometimes cause
uneasiness Is counterbalanced by the
consideration that facts can never be
concealed for any length OF time, and
that lies are always recognized as such

questionable.
This peculiar and embarrassing ship
ping situation was explained by a State

plain that under international law Eng
land has the right to detain vessels
when there Is good ground for suspi-
cion. Prize court proceedings or dip
lomatic negotiations are then the only
recourse.
That the American Government will
back up and vigorously defend owners
AGAINST illegal seizures was stated by
officials. But Il was explained that
this can only be regularly done through,
the prize courts or slow diplomatic pro-
ceedings. Meanwhile the vessels seized
are being tied up and shippers are loath

ment.

Of the Danish minister. is investiga ting
the reported chasing of the steamer

that the British warship entered the
