open to the general PUBIC. III Is tne
museum of the censor, and contains
collection of most curious exhibits
which represent attempts that have
been made to evade the British naval
blockade since the outbreak of the
war
Most of these exhibits come from
the United States where thousands or
people of German extraction have de
spatched all sorts of useful things to
friends and relatives in the father
land Many of the exhibits indicate
the pains and ingenuity of the send
ers: in some instances they made a
pound of lard look like copy of the
morning paper or packet of pure
rubber like a bundle of narcissus
bulbs.
A side of bacon weighing forty
pounds is mute evidence of the at
tempt made by a St. Louis man to
assuage the hunger Of some friends
or relatives in what was undoubtedly
lyhis former home town. In his anxiety
| to get the bacon to Germany this man
sent ii by first class mail and attached
stamps to the bacon itself to the value
of nearly s..
There are many other instances in
which the stamps on the packages by
far exceed the value of the contents.
Many parcels have duplicate covers.
They are addressed to someone in a
neutral country, whose business it is
to pull off one cover and re-post them
to the German or Austrian address re-
vealed below.
An enterprising Buffalo man sent a
large number of letters, each contain
ing a sheet of pure rubber. Rubber
has been a scarce commodity in Ger
many for more than year and eff
forts have repeatedly been made 10
get through the blockade all sorts of
these articles. Once in Germany the
rubber would be sent to a central
depot, where it ultimately would have
emerged as rubber tires.
This censor's museum contains
huge bundles of newspapers, or what
appeared at first glance to be news
papers. Closer inspection revealed
that the neatly rolled ends are bat
cleverly made plugs of paper and
wood. When one of these plugs is
pulled out there is uncovered long
sausage-shaped bag of calico contain
ing anything from sliced ham to Para
rubber, from rice to tobacco.
Two iron crosses are not the least
interesting of the exhibits. They are
the original article and were being
sent from Germany to a child III the
United States. The consigner was
the maker Of the crosses, the head of
the firm that supplies them to the Ger
man government, and in an accom-
panying letter he suggests that the
recipients wear them.
Shoes are the most numerous of the
exhibits and most of these come from
the United States.
In several cases they are wrapped
carefully in a piece of best sole
leather.
All these things. neatly laid out and
contraband cargoes that have found
their way into the hands of the Brit
ish authorities. They are not confis-
Gated but will some day get to their
proper destinations, only at present
the British government has "intern-
ed" them.
