Mail Censorship Vital

Necessary Check Espionage and Forestall Efforts to
Promote Uprisings He Asserts-Trying to Avoid
Annoyance to Neutrals

In countries governed by Germany's
enemies, but i'm neutrals as we'll
$50 much has this been so that the
press in the Dutch East Indies has
stated that the people there could not
well regret Brtain's action, since the
mails we're used as a channel for in
fammatory literature calculated TO stir
up the natives of Java and Sumatra, no
less than those of Singapore. India.
"But even OF more vital Importance
is tho fact that through these mails.
by which the whole system Of German
espionage is conducted again and
again its centres established in reu-
tral countries have gravely endangered
tho safety of the empire. ! don't be
lieve any Of the neutrals wish to deny
our right TO unload and examine thP
mails unless II be those persons Who
base their protest not on the interest
Of their own country, but on those OF
Germany, such people. for instance, as
the Geru1an-American Chamber OF
Commerce at New York, who recently
petitioned the German government 20

Censorship Work Improved.
Naturally. when VIC first adopted the
present policy. our organization was
not as efficient as it might have been.
but ! am sure that the criticisms lev
cled against us nov are wholly mac
curatc. The organization of this CEN
sorship under the War Office is quite
a distinct censorship from that Of mails

signed for this country. An enormous
staff is employed, so that now mails
amounting to a thousand bags. taken
off ships in southern ports, are IN tho
hands OF the censors within twenty
four hours from the time Of unloading.
Mails taken off ships at klrkwall or
Lerwick are being received by the CEN

Guently. if undue delay appears to nave
occurred in forwarding any letter inns
must be attributed not 10 delay by tnr

and again. as the neutral governments

GERMANY HOPES
FOR PEACE MOVE
Berlin Expects Colonel
House to Bring Word
of Truce Plan.
government

Berlin. May 26. Another visit by
Colonel f. NJ. House to Europe would
be no surprise. 1t is hoped that
Colonel House will come this time 10
prepare the foundations 70. a peace
proposal.
During his last visit - Europe
Colonel House made no effort for
peace, having found adverse conditions
in capitals of nations hostile to Ger
many Presumably, also. he had pre-
vious information that American media
tion was under no circumstances de-
sired and that it would not be accepted
so long as the United States continued
to supply Germsny's foes with muni-
tions.
Germany Wants Peace.
The situation has now changed.
Apparently, Germany would welcome
peace. As Arthur Won Gwinner, the
managing director of the Deutsche
Bank in Berlin, stated reccrtly, Ger
many is like a poker play,r who has
gathered in all the money on me table
and naturally is willing TO break of
an all-night session and retire with
his winnings, while the othsrs persist
in continuing. in the hope Of recoup-
ing some of their losses.
The cards, however, are running
strongly in the Germans favor. it is
pointed out, as shown in the postpone
ment of the long herslded Anglo
French offensive in the west. the prog
ress Of the Crown Prince at Verdun.
the victories Of the Turks and the
crushing Austrian offensive in the
Trentino.
Whether these events are enough 20
induce the Allies to retire from what
is looked on here as a losing game,
and whether the changed tone OF the
utterances Of Premier Asquith and Sir
Edward Grey and what is considered
disayowal of their intention to crush
Germany as nation and a commercial
rival or dsmember the empire, are in
dicatiye OF receptiyity toward reason
able peace proposals, is an uncertain
factor.
Allies Confidence Must Be Shaken.
The best posted neLtral observers
here hold that something further must
occur TO convince the Entente Allies
that the expulsion of the German
armies from occupied territories and
the completion of the ION to Berlin"
campaign are impossibilities. even with
the aid Of the blockade and economic
pressure.

The note was handed TO Ambassa.l
doris Spring Rice and Jusserand or
Wednesday, and is a reply 20 The
French note Of February 10. which is
described as "unresponsive" TO the
previous American complaint.
Position Taken by Washington.
The position now taken by this
government is:
That the Allies contravene the
Hague Conventions in subjecting
legitimate correspondence to de-
tention and seizure.
That such action is illegal and
damaging to American interests.
That the declaration of Febru-
ary l5-that true correspondence
would not be subjected to deten-
tion on the high seas-was insin-
cere. as the Allies are now COM
pelling all vessels to put in at their
ports and TO permit their mails to
be removed there. That announce
men,, the note says, was merely
notice that one illegal practice had
been abandoned TO make place for
the development of another mora
onerous and yexatious in charac-
ter"
That "in view Of the improper
methods employed by the British
and French authorities" the
United States, "can no longer toll
crate the wrongs which citizens OF
the United States have suffered
and continue to suffer. Manifestly
a neutral nation cannot permit it's
rights on the high seas TO be deter
mined by beligerents."
The right 10 subject parcel post
mail to the same rules as other cate
gories Of merchandise shipments is NOT
questioned, and it is conceded that
stocks, bonds, money orders and other
negotiable paper may be treated as
contraband, even when sent by letter
mail
Postoffice Lists Lost.
The note gives a list Of cases in
which not only private persons and
corporations, but even the United
States government, have been subjected
to annoyance and loss through deten-
tion and seizure Of true correspondence.
In some cases. it is shown, official
money order lists forwarded by the
Postofice Department have been de-
tanned and lost, meaning delay in the
payment Of money orders and, in some
cases, the necessity Of sending dupli-
Gates.
An American contracting firm lost a
contract for electrical installation in
Norway because its bid. forwarded By
mail. was delayed beyond the date for
the opening of proposals, and the con-
tract went TO a British competitor.
Shipping papers have been detained,
and in some cases the goods have per-
ished on the wharves before the Brit
ish government released the documents.
Secretary Lansing states that as the
United States government may be held
liable for some Of these losses, claims
will be filed against Great Britain aud
France "in the near future" for fun
reclamation.
The note points out also that tao
United States, when engaged in war,
has invariably given full recognition 10
me rights for which IL now contends.
