Gen. Won Mackensen Quoted
as Saying Attack Now Is
lnadvisabIe.

GENEVA, February Is. via Paris,
February 16.-The Bucharest news
paper Adeverul says Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, at. review of the Ger
man. Austrian and Bulgarian troops in
Macedonia. informed the staffs that an
attack on Saloniki at the present time
was inadvisable. The best policy, he
is quoted as having said, was to re-
tain the entente allied forces in Sa :
loniki and prevent them from being
used on other fronts.
Another Bucharest report received
here says the temporary inaction is
due to the excessive demands of Bull
garia regarding the occupied territory
in Serbia. Germany, it is said, is doing
everything to avoid offending Greece
The report says also that the rumors
of misunderstanding between Ger
mans and Bulgars are unfounded.

ASKS EXPLANATION
OF U. S. cENSORS
German Envoy Inquiries About
Suppression of Wireless on
Arabs Sinking. :...7

The German government. through
Count Won Bernstorff, it's ambassador
here. today formally asked the United
States to explain why the American
wireless censors at Sayville suppressed
the official announcement of the Ger
man admiralty of the reported sinking
in the North sea of the British cruiser
Arabs on February II.
News reporting the loss of the Arabs
reached the United States from Berlin
via London, passing through the Brit
ish censorship. On February ~, how
ever. a Berlin wireless direct via Say
vile was passed. saying that another
ship in addition to the Arabs had been
sunk in the same engagement
Admitted at Navy Department.
At the Navy Department it is admit
ted that Berlin official dispatches have
been suppressed by the Sayville cen-
sors because they considered them
coming under the inhibition of Secre-
tary Daniels orders permitting pas
sage of war dispatches provided no
reference is made to movements or To-
cation OF war or other vessels of bel
lgerents."
1t is explained that this order was
made in the interest of neutrality, and
the fact that the German government
itself authorized the Arabs announce
ment is not considered to have altered
the situation. The question probably
will be taken up by officials more
fully. The British government con-
tends that the ships destroyed were
mine sweepers.
Suppression Reported in Berlin.
NEW YORK, February 16.-The As
sociated Press correspondent in Ber-
lin on Monday sent a wireless dispatch
saying he was informed by the German
admiralty that the censors at the
American wireless station had rejected
several of his dispatches addressed to
the Associated Press containing straight
and legitimate news matter. He added:
Certain rejected dispatches contained
internal official admiralty announce
ments of naval actions which the Brit
ish censors passed for publication in
England"
