GERARD
Editorial Guns Turned on
American Ambassador.
Berlin Newspapers Charge He
Criticized Censorship.

Berlin, Aug. IA vigorous attack
on Ambassador Gerard was made to-
day by the Berlin Morgenpost and
the Cologne Gazette, two Influential
German newspapers, for the attitude
toward the German censorship he is
alleged to have displayed in a con-
fidentia1 communication to the state
department.
American correspondents in Berlin
recently handed to the ambassador a
protest against British censorship of
cable dispatches and mail matter they
have sent to the United States. They
pointed out that the British censor
badly mutilated many of their dis
patches and that large percentage of
their mail stories failed to reach
America at all.
In transmitting the report to the
state department. Ambassador Gerard
is reported to have sent along con-
ffdential note recommending that no
action be taken by the American gov
eminent unless Germany removed the
censorship on news sent to America
How this alleged confidential note be-
came public property is not known
but the contents of the message soon
became known in newspaper circles.
"AccOmplices of England"
1.-THE American government and its
organs already have endL ed many
brutal English infringements," said
the Morgenpost. Even Americans
reproach their officials. They have
degraded themselves by giving up
their neutrality and honor as accom-
pliees of England. so it is presumabIe
that they will also endure this in
fringement and the attitude Of their
ambassador whereby the British IN
fringement is supported.
1--WE doubt whether the German
foreign offic= will be satisfied with
Gcra rd's conduct We hope the gov
eminent will find means to correct his
strange attitude. The German censor
ship does not concern him and he ne s
no right to cIitic!se measures nece g.
sa1y for the safety of German inter-
ests''
The Cologne Gazette editorial was in
similar strain.

oldtime Pennsylvania avenue hotels
near the capitol where they have
made their headquarters and strolled
back and forth along the avenue,
keeping always close to the hotels to
be ready in case of necessity to con-
fer. For the most part they were the
manner of men who had reached a
conclusion and there was little de-
batting of it among themselves Oc-
easional groups developed arguments
all on one side-over the merits of
their fight, but the greatest number
of the district chairmen seemed oc-
cupied with the task of seeing as much
of Washington as could be seen from
the sidewalks of the avenue.

Customs Officer.

San Francisco, Aug. i7.-Prince
Mahidol Songkla, brother of the KING
of Siam, who has arrived f.ere from
the far east, was mistaken for Jap

customs officer. Minister Karavonsse
of Siam, who came here from Wash
ington to meet the prince. declared he
would take the matter up through the
state department.
But don't be disturbed" the prince
said when the minister expressed his
indignation. I'VE will not declare
war over this. 1t was mistake ana
/ hope my assailant will not lose his
position. I was rescued by my fellow
passengers
The prince said that he went ashore
at Honolulu from the Tenyo Maru and
was stopped by a customs inspector
who said that Japanese were not al
lowed ashore until their papers hao
been examined.
HE refused to listen to my expla-
nation of who was. turned a deaf ear
to my declaration that 1 had papers
to establish my identity and suddenly
attacked me with his fists. of which
he made good use. I was wedged in
between two women and could not de-
fend myself for fear of hurting them.

Toxic, Aug. 17.-Japan plans to i'm
prove her navy as fast or faster than
the United States is building up it's sea

years.
Exactly what the plan under con-
sideration by the finance department
of the government is, nobody knows,
but according to the paper Jill. usual
ly well informed publication, the
outlay for the ideal fleet" calls for
about $3.50. 100000. Other papers esti-
mates are a bit lower
A hot debate on the program is ex-
pected at the forthcoming session of
the diet because of the expense in
volved. The program is back by navy
leaders. and also. it is said, by the
ministers of marine and finance.

Chicago. Aug. 17.-How to check

fnent theme of the fourth national
conference on marketing and farm
credits, called today TO meet in Chi
cago December A and 5.

surveys will be made prior to the
winter gathering that will show the
movement of crops such as livestock,
grain, cotton and hay The whole milk
problem and its relation to city dis
tribution will be worked out.
Practical plans will be drawn for
eliminating waste, improving farm
products and increasing the consump-
zion of certain farm crops.
Half of the conference work will be
devoted TO rural credits and the fed
.eral farm loan act will come in for
its share of criticism.
Explain Act to Farmer.
5 THE delegates will analyze the
scope and limitations of the act" said
Secretary Charles w. Holman of Mad
ison, Wis., today. And when they
are thru the American farmer will
know what to expect under its terms.
Contrary to the general belief. this act
does not solve the rural credit prob
lem. 1t is a beginning, but crude
one. 1t may prove to be almost inop-
erative in a number of states where
federal jurisdiction will clash with ex-
listing homestead laws
Nor does the act touch even re-
-notely the question of personal credit
and it is long way from striking at
sthe great problem of turning tenants
sand IandIess men into home owning
farmers.
How to adjust state laws to har-
monte with the act will be shown by
sneakers at the conference. Aid for
the landless man and the immigrant
will be discussed. We expect delegates
from every state in the Union and
from Canada.
