German newspapers, for the attitude
toward the German censorship he is
alleged to have displayed in a con-

had 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 rann-4 IN Tho
