The Censor S JOB
7hankless One as
the Record Proves
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, Jan. ga Berlin author,
envious of the miner of new ideas"
which the censor might find in the
mass of letters he reads, has been
frankly told by censor how unen-
viable the lot of the censor is.
The author in question and a wo-
man in Vienna had for years con-
Quoted a regular correspondence. He
had observed lately that her letters
grew shorter and less interesting. She
explained 1t by saying that she could
not write well when she knew that
some censor was reading all her let
tiers.
The Berliner in his next letter wrote
that he Gould think of no better job
than that of a censor. What material,
what new ideas he must get from the
mass of letters which he reads" said
the author. A few days later he re-
ceived the following:
Dear Sir: Since you have been
friendly enough. in some of your let
ters which I had to censor, to refer to
me, I take the liberty of answering
you briefly. Do you really believe
that it is pleasant to be a censor? II
you had an inkling of what it means
you would assuredly feel no longing
to enter the profession. Waterfall
New ideasi' Oh, Gracious Heavens,
If you knew what sort OF stuff /
have to read in the course of a day.
And such handwriting
eff you wish to make my work
easier, then make your letters as short
as possible. And please write the
same to the lady In Vienna. Must it
always be sixteen pages! Couldn't
four suffice? Or still better, both
Of you could decide to step altogether
for while.
Tn this pleasant hope I remain,
most respectfully yours,
(Signed) The Censor"

CHANCELLOR IN
EXPLANATION Of
HIS STATEMENT
pr. Bethr1aann Holweg Sur
prised That His Refer
ence to Belgian Neutrality
Has Caused Unfavorable
Impression.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Field Headquarters Of the German
Army in France, Jan. 24.-'Tm sur
prised that my phrase, "a scrap Of
papare. used In referring to Belgian
neutrality, has caused an unfavor-
able impression in the United States"
said DR.. Theobald Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German imperial chan
cellor. to representative of the As
ISOLATED Press.
The chancellor explained ne had
spoken of the treaty not as scrap
OF paper for Germany, but as an in
strument which had become obsolete
through Beigium's forfeiture of neu-
trality. He said England's reason for
entering the war was not to protect
Belgian neutrality, but for her own
private interests. He said there are
documents at the Belgian foreign Of
fee, showing that England, in 1911,
was determined to throw troops into
Belgium without the assent of the
Belgian government If a war broke
out.
He said Sir Edward Grey later had
informed Belgium that he did not
think that British public opinion
would approve Of the step, and Eng
land would not take the action He
said England refused to assure Ger
many OF English neutrality, even II
Germany respected Belgian neutrality.

BRITISH NAVAL VICTORY
HAS INSPIRED CONFIDENCE

London, Jan. 2l.--The naval battle
In the North Sea inspired greater con-
fidsnce in the aba OF the British
feet to protect the English coast.
There Is great enthusiasm.
The land lighting in the west Is
confined largely to artillery engage
ments, which are almost continuous
from the seat to the Swiss frontier.
An arms are engaged in Argonne,
where trenches have been lost and
retakcn several times in two days.
and in Aisace, where both sides are
putting forth desperate efforts.
There are no decisive results in Po-
land. but II Is expected that Russia's
new offensive north OF the vistula viii
bring change in the character of
the operations. 1t Is believed this will
tax the Germans resources at a mo-
ment when she is called upon to send
additional troops to protect Hungary.
1t is unofficially reported from vi
emma that Austria has checked the
Russian advance in Southern Buko-
wilma, which. IL true, points to the ar
rival OF fresh Austro-German forces.
Germany. It is said. though not de-
1ivering the note. has several times In
uuired OF Roumania the meaning OF
her mobilization. This should soon
bring the Roumanlan question to a
head.
II is said Germany has taken charge
Of the military affairs OF Austria, while
the Hungarians are in control OF the
political affairs.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Tae United
States government today issued a
lengthy defense of its Interpretation
Of the rights and duties of a neutral
in the European war.
A document, 5000 words long. pre-
pared by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing
of the state department. after several
days of consultation. was made public
in the form of letter from the sec
rotary ofstate to Senator stone Of
Missouri, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations.
While the letter is a reply to an
inquiry from Senator Stone for infor-
nation as a result of complaints made
in the press and in letters from va
rious parts of the country charging
the Washington government with un-
fairness to Germany and Austria, 1t
also is intended as pronouncement
Of policy on some questions of neu-
traiity previously unexplained
After answering nineksAn separate
and specific charges and calling at
tention to the fact that the United
States has promptly taken to task
Great Britain as well as Germany and
every government in any way has in
fringed upon the rights of this coun-
try, the letter concludes with the fol-
lowing declaration on the much dis
cussed question of expectation of war
munitions:
IF any American citizens, partisans
of Germany and Austria Hungary,
feel that this administration is acting
in a way injurious to the cause of
those countries, this feeling results
from the fact that on the high seas
the German and Austro- Hungarian
naval power Is thus far inferior to the
British. 1t Is the business Of bell
ligerent operating on the high seas,
not the duty of a neutral, to prevent
contra band from reaching an enemy
Those in this country who sympathize
with Germany and Austria Hungary,
appear to assume that some obliga-
ton rests upon this government, in
the performance Of it's neutral dsfty,
to prevent all trade in contraband, and
thus to equaliZe the difference due to
the relative naval strength of the bill
ligerents. No such obligation exists;
it would be an unneutral act, an act of
partially on the part Of this gov
eminent, to adopt such a policy if the
executive had the power to do so.
MARKETS OPEN TO ALL.
IT Germany and Austria Hungary
cannot import contraband from this
country, it is not, because Of this fact,
the duty of the United States to close
its markets to the allies. The mar
kets OF this country are open upon
