WRITER ACCUSES
BRITISH CENSOR
Col. Emerson Says He Was
BlackIisted for Refusal
TO Color War Stories.

Colonel Edwin Emerson. war cor
respondent and q grandson OF the poet
has lust returned from the war zone.
He spent several months at the front
as special correspondent for New
York evening paper. In an interview
which appeared yesterday IN the
"Staats heitung," Colonel Emerson
makes grave charges against the BRIT
ish government In general and the
British censorship in particular.
The specific charges which Mr. Emer-
son makes against the British in the
columns Of the "Stsats Zeitung' are
as follows:
Among seventy eight cable messages
which he sent to his New York paper
only four reached here. One OF THESE
was altered TO such an extent that II
reversed the meaning of Colonel Emef
sons words in favor of England. Inc
money which was paid for the seventy
four undelivered cable messages was
not returned and no explanation was
made BY the British censor as TO the
cause OF their being withheld.
Owing to Mr.. Emerson's refusal 70
color his stories in favor OF England
he was "backlisted" by the British
authorities. deprived of his private
correspondence and isolated from MS
Office. Efforts on the part OF his EN-
ployers to get funds to him were UNI
avaling. and Mr.. Emerson was com
pletely stranded.
According to the interview in the
"Staats Zetung," Colonel Emerson
spent some time with the Herman
troops on the eastern and western bat
tie fronts. He interviewed PeneraIs
Won Hindenburg, Won kluck, Won Ger
Goltz and the Crown Prince Rupprecnt
of Bavaria and took part in the occu-
patton by the Germans or NamuI'
Longwy. Maubeuge and Antwerp lie
visited Liege, La Bassee, Lille, fpres;
Nieuport and Dixmude and travelled
in Alsace. He also spent some time
with the Austrian armies and was
present when LODI and LowIcz were
taken.
"Hindenburg makes the impression
of a giant" Colonel Emerson SAID, IN
speaking of the German national nero.
"He is of imposing stature and mas
a massive head which reminds one OF
that of Bismarck. lie is not man OF
bic or many words. Everybody who
comes in touch with him is impressed
| with his capability and capacity.
"On the whole. the confidence which
prevails in Germany is unshakable:
| That is something which the rest OF
the world, and especially the Allies
are unable to understand. They may
| have heard or read about this German
national trait, but nobody who has
not seen and experienced it can under
stand it."
The "Staats Zeitung" asserts that
/ Colonel Emersons unpopularity with
/ the British is due to his unbiased
! treatment of news and says that his
own paper repudiated him because ne
refused to color his stories IN oroer
70 make them anti-German in spirit.

REPUBLICAN CLUB
HEARS WAR TALKS
Democracy Will Arise from
Ashes of Sacked Towns, Says
Professor T. Iyenaga.

War zone proclamations and threats
are the awful consequences of the
European conflict, Professor T. Iyenags,
Of the University of Chicago, told the
Republican Club yesterday at the week
lyn luncheon. He spoke on the topic:
as Democracy Gaining Over Aristoc-
racy and the Spirit OF Brotherhood
over Race Hatred"
IL was university day, and severa
other professors attended and ad-
dressed the club.
"These measures" continued Profess
sor lyenaga, seem TO bespeak the des-
peration of the combatants, upon which
the knights of medieval Europe might
have looked askance as being not in
accord with the cause of chivalry.
This is indeed nationalism gone
mad. IL is the result of confiding the
shaping of national destiny to few
hands without the people being taken
into confidence. But democracy, inter
nationalsm and the spirit of brother
hood will arise out of the ashes of
sacked towns and heaps of bones"
That there is inequality among races
he held 10 be indisputable, but injus-
tice comes only when the color Of the
skin is made the criterion of quality.
1--WE japanese" he went on, "beg for
no grace, but will stand on our own
merit. The best cure for race preju-
dice is knowledge and association. I
find the Americans the most fair-mind-
ed men and just people on the face Of
the globe"
Professor William II. Sloane, Of Co
lumbia, recalled the time when fac
tional fights between races occurred in
the streets of New York City, and de-
clared the advance Of democracy here
had been incredible and beyond the
power Of description. On the Pacific
Coast, he asserted, the same advance
ment had been made. The races from
the Far East were not only being I'M
derstood, but were gradually coming

WATCH ZELTNER NOW
Deputy Gets Fine Gold One
from Police Band.

Deputy Sheriff Louis Zeltner, the
watchful aid of Sheriff Grifenhagen
and terror of men who will not pay
their alimony, will no longer have an
excuse for reporting late.
A committee representing the police
band of New York entered his Office
yesterday and presented to him fine
gold watch. The committee also in
formed Louis that he had been elected
an honorary member of the band. The
case bore the ribboned monogram of
the organization, and inside was an in
scription telling why the honor was
paid to the deputy sheriff.
The honorary membership in the
band and the gold watch did not come
to Zeltner because of any especial
talent as a musician, although he is a
fine performer on the police whistle.
The gift was made in appreciation of
numerous services Zeltner has given
to the band, notably at the Inaugural
ton of Governor Whitman on January
l.. when Zeltner was in charge of the
arrangements for the organization,
which went to Albany to march in the
inaugural procession.

COLLECIANS EXPECT
GERMAN COLLAPSE
British Views on Peace
Demands Explained by
Cambridge Man.

Professor |. II. Hirsch, of Cam
bridge, lecturer in physics at Kings
College, London, in letter TO ms
nephew, Benjamin Harris, recording
clerk in the Office Of the County Clerk,
gives the views of learned men OF
England. He writes: .
~ can give you some impression OF
passing thoughts and opinions. for
here in Cambridge we get them IN
great variety and of the best quality.
First, no responsible person has gone
beyond the expulsion from Belgium
and the restoration of the Rhine from
tier. There is an obvious disadyan-
tage in laying down conditions Of
peace before the peace idea has taken
any hold of the German view.
There is a maxim attributable to
Napoleon: "A wise general will always
provide a golden bridge for a flying
enemy Moreover, people are apt to
talk of Germany as kind Of inani-
mate unit, independent of the human
beings which compose it. Sober Eng
land believes that the humane Ger
mans will have no chance of making
themselves heard until the prestige of
military Germany is broken. Then
we shall be astonished, not by its
presence, but by it's volume.
There is, too, in England small
number of people at the pole opposite
to the jingoes. They express their
views in the phrase, Not a yard of ter
ritory, not pound of indemnity This,
of course, is sheer nonsense.
England will not want Continental
territory, that is obvious. But that
she should punish her own citizens
for the folly and the wickedness of the
devils in Germany who engineered this
war, and punish them with the idea
of winning the good will of those Ger
mans who long ago ought to have had
the backbone to consummate the revo-
luton OF 1848 would be ridiculous.
Neither South Africa nor Australia
will tolerate the proximity OF German
colonies, and the Cape to Cairo rail
way must be free of German control
and obstruction.
an spite Of all their buster the
Germans seem to have lack OF con-
fidence in either their men or their
munitions. Try to imagine four
American or British battle cruisers
running away from FIVE enemy cruisers
of not much greater size. Would not
the American or British say to him
self, You may have more ships and
few bigger guns, but we are the better
men and we are not going to run
swsyP
ii fully believe you have the psy-
chology of the Germans fully illus
trsted there. When they realize that
they are outnumbered and out
generated on land, the collapse will
come rapidly"

Mrs. Mamie O'Shsughnessy lives on
the fifth floor of tenement near the
North River. Mrs. Rivka Cohen lives
in another tenement near the East
River. Mrs. 'Shaughnessy has seven
children and Mrs. Cohen six.
Both mothers yesterday condemned
the bill which requires the reading OF
ten verses of the Bible daily in the
public schools.

As her children attend the pRrochial
school, Mrs. Hanlon does not care
whether the Bible is read in the public
schools or not.
Mrs. O'Shsughnessy does not read,
but her husband, who is a track tender,
often reads aloud TO her at night. Mr..
O'Shaughnessy has read to her some
thing about the Bible bill-at least,
enough for her to understand. When
the details were explained further TO
her Mrs. O'Shaughnessy had very de-
oided convictions on the matter OF tho

Mrs. O'Shaughnessy fondly eyed a
youngster of eleven, whose freckles
were very prominent. "He gets all the
religious instruction he needs" Mrs.
Shaughnessy said. pointing at her boy.
"He goes to church and Sunday school
And he's a good boy without Bible
reading every morning"
When Mrs. 0'Shaughnessy was asked
whether she would withdraw her chill
dren from the public school in case the
Greiner-Tallett measure should pass
and be signed by Governor Whitman
she replied that II she found such read
ing Objectionable she would certainly
not permit her children to attend.
