which together had produced many unde-
sirable features.
We were even forbidden to reprint an
attack on the English censors published
by the London Weekly paper Truth The
Vorwaerts was forbidden to publish an
article saying that the destruction OF the
despotism of the Car would be bless
ing to the Russian people; doubtless cur
astute censors thought this was an in
direct hit at the German Emperor. The
Torwaerts was not allowed to publish
speech made by the English member OF
Parliament, Ramsay Macdonald, in
which Macdonald spoke against the war,
and other anti-war utterances made in
England were likewise suppressed. Why?
These are only a few cases selected
from many of which we know, but they
suffice TO show that the censorship is
badly administered. inetTiciently con-
Quoted. and unjustly balanced, so that
energetic measures should be taken by
the supreme authorities to remedy what
is really grave danger to the welfare
of the German nation

A HOT DEBATE ON The
GERMAN IMPERIAL BUDGET
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Copenhagen-April THE newspapers
here have obtained copies OF tie official
report of the debate in the German
Reichstag on the Imperial Budget. in
Guiding the text of the speech made by
the Socialist Deputy. Stadthagen. which
the military cepsors refused to allow the
German newspapers to publish. The
speech deals entirely with the German
press censorship.
Stadthagen said in part:
From all parts of the country come
strong protests against the severity,
the inequality. the injustice. the ineffi-
cheney of the censorship The military
censors have made the whole of the
Socialist Press a target for their mali
cious attacks, which are not intended to
preserve military secrets. but to suppress
tn free discussion of questions in regard
toFwhch the people of Germany have the
fullest right to express their opinion.
The VolksZeitung. our local organ at
Danzig, was suppressed for saying that
there was no danger of famine in Ger
many, but that the price of many neces-
saries Of life was too high for the work
ing classes and imposed considerable
hardships on them. At Konigsberg our
local daily paper was suppressed for saw
ing that the victories won by the German
army were due to the fact that universal
manhood suffrage exists in Germany and
to the right possessed by German work
men to combine in trade unions or in DO
litical associations.
"At kattowitz our paper, the Freie
Presse. had always appeared at three
O'clock in the afternoon, but the military
censor there insisted on seeing all the
proofs before publication. and then de-
Jared that he had no time to read them

SUDDEN DEATH OF
DR.. FRED N. SMITH
IN PORTLAND CAB

Portland, Me, April 2j.-Friends of DIR.
Fred Milton Smith, 80. native Of Port
land, We're shocked Saturday evening TO
learn of his death, which occurred sud
denly between and o'clock Saturday
afternoon. DR.. Smith having been taken
i'll in a taxicab while returning from a
professional call in the Deering district
DIR. Smith had not been well and had
recently returned and was anxious 10
take up his work. Although he was
feeling will Saturday morning, his broth
er, Frank II. Smith of Morning street,
urged him to remain indoors, but in re-
spouse to his call TO duty DR.. Smith in
sisted on making the visit as requested.
His condition, however. was not such as
to warra na5scxtra eyertion, and he was
taken students i'll in the cab and died q
few moments <rter reaching his father s
home at 155 Congress street.
DR.. Smith was n unusually brilliant
man. He was a graduate Of BOWdoin
College. and of the Maine Medical
School in 1905 and gave every evidence
of becoming q shining light in his pro
fession He married few wears ago
Miss Martha Ncse, one of Portland's
best known vocalists. and he leaves
beside his widow and one child. his
father, Henry NJ. Smith, and one
brother. Frank II. Smith. Dr.. Smith
had built up an extensive practice
when he was taken i'll and was
obliged to give up his work for time
but il was hoped that he had recov-
cred sufficiently TO go on with the pro-
fession for which he had worked 50
hard to fit himself Energetic and en-
thusiastic, there is no doubt that his
hard work in fitting himself for the
profession which he had chosen had
much to do with the breakdown which
came in the very morning of his sue
cess He was man of most likeab'
qualities and will be much missed by
d large circle of friends

Beehive Bombs.
CIndianapolis News>


A French genius has recently offered
an idea which he is confident will be
more effective against the enemy than
bombs dropped by an aviator. In
stead of arming our aviaters with
bombs. which are seldom effective. we
should do better with beehives." saws
this patriot. Let each aviator carry
one or two hives and launch them on
the Zoe below. At the rate Of 10000
bees to the hive, one may count that
about 1000 will be killed or stunned
by the fall; but the other $4,000
launched by a skiIful hand on the
enemy will cover them in an instant
with innumerable stings and put every
ccmbatant out OF the fight for several
DAYS. Then our men would have moth

BRYAN SAYS
PUBLICITY IS
AN ESSENTIAL

Baltimore. Nd, April 25.-Publicity
is as essential to honest administra-
ton Of the government as freedom of
speech is 10 representative govern
ment, Secretary Of State BRYAN told
members of the City Club Saturday.
The government being the peoples
business" said he, 1T necessarily fol-
lows that its operation should be at
al times open TO the public view
Governments approach perfection,
the secretary declared, insofar as they
are cooperative, in proportion as they
adjust with justice the joint burdens
which it is necessary to impose, and
distribute with equity the incidental
benefits which come from the dis
oursement of the money raised by tax
alton"
Secretary Bryan spoke on Rules for
the New Voter" but he also discussed
the duty of every citizen, which he said
was Ito exert himself to the utmost to
reform every abuse of government and
to eradicate every evil in government,
remembering that abuses and evils are
more easily corrected in their beginning

Secretary Bryan then referred to Lin
coins Gettysburg speech appealing to
his courtrymen to eonsecrate themselves
to the unfinished task that lay before
them. that government of the people,
by the people, and for the people, might
not perish from the earth"
That task" said the secretary in con-
clusion, is still unfinished, and it is the
duty of every citizen to carefully study
the principles and methods of govern
ment as they arise and then give his
country the benefit Of his judgment and
his conscience. TO this enc he should not
only express himself a. elections, but
faithfully attend primaries and conven-
tons where candidates are chosen and
politics enunciated."
