Stories From the War Zone

task OF travelling by the fastest route
every week TO and from London and
Berlin.
SO far as the American embassy In
Berlin knows official documents have
been tampered with but once and
that was aboard an English liner en-
route from Liverpool to the United
States In a pouch from Germany
one of the military attaches was send
ing secret report to the navy de-
partment at Washington concerning
Germany's aeroplanes. This report
was sealed in Berlin and reached
London in the same shape, but when
It arrived in Washington the seals
had been broken and the report re-
sealed with an imitation.
Week in and week out, many per-
sonal letters from the United states
TO Americans in Germany filter
through bearing no evidences that
they were opened by German censors
often. though. one will receive letters
with stamps in two or three places
showing they were handled by more
than one censor.
All mail leaving Germany. however
is subject to the most careful exan,l-
nation. New rules which recently
went into effect, provide that pic
ture postcards especially postcards OF
public buildings, cannot be sent out
side Germany spies have been using
this means Of communicating with
their allies in neutral countries An
other new provision is that envelopes
lined with thin tissue paper cannot
be used to send letters outside Of
Germany because spies can too easily
hide something between the envelope
and the tissue lining. Thus one car
see why mail censors have developed
prodlgious ability to pry into let
ters and postcards of all kinds. no
matter what the origin or dest!na'
tion.

The bulk of the grain crop is now

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Jan. 5.--(By MailD-
Ambassador Gerard has sent sixteen
notes to the foreign orfice since the
beginning Of the war; protesting
against the censoring Of Embassy
mail at the German border by the
military authorities. Accompanying
each protest was from five to twenty
envelops bearing the mark OF the
military censor showing that the let
ters were opened under "the rights
OF war"
These instances do not refer to the
official sealed pouches Of the Ameri-
can government, but only to general
correspondence TO the embassy from
the United States and other countries.
This has applied particularly TO the
ambassadors personal mail from the
United States The no,es were writ
ten on the theory that the mail Of a
neutral ambassador or embassy is not
subject to censorship even in wal
time.
No official explanation ever ha,
been made of the opening of the am
bassadors mail, but it is believed this

That the booking of Maude Powell
for a concert in this city is merely a
test Of conditions in Pendleton and
that upon the response Of the people
will depend the booking Of future big
musical attractions is the statement
Of James b. Welch who is responsible
for bringing the celebrated violinist
here.
Mr.. Welch, who has only recently
returned to Pendleton after spending
some years in Portland where he was
connected with things theatrical was
induced by Manager Pangle Of the
Helig to take charge Of Maude Pow
ellis appearance here and Mr.. Pangle
assured him that, If Pendleton's ap-
probation Of such an attraction should
prove as he anticipated, he would
plan TO send several high class mu-
sical attractions to this city each
Year incidentally he believes that
the coming to big attractions here
will be a big factor in securing for
Pendleton a modern theater for road
shows.
Mr.. Welch is not only advertising
Maude Powell in Pendleton, he is
spreading the news Of her coming all
over the county and today went to
Walla Walla to interest the musical
people of that city. Pendleton has
sent many dollars to walla Wallas
theaters and Mr.. Welch plans to

he acted as chief counsel In his

In a chapter on travelling expenses
several senators, notably Messrs.

trips at the states expense, whereas
they also at the same time were in

In a chapter on payroll padding,
the mythical janitors and clerks who
were absent but still drawing healthy
salaries are dealt with. One record

anh-pass legislation matter and alsO
with a chapter entitled: Let the
Boys Have It." In this last chapter
Mr.. Munro details an interview with
Gov. Dunno in which Munro protest
ed against the passage Of the mileage
bill. The governor told Mr.. Munro
that although the bill might be I'M
constitutional, he had decided to 'let
the boys have it."
One of the bills which the book
says was introduced in the general
assembly by Rep. Dudgeon is inter-
esting. It showed that Jas. Ankhurst
was at one time the owner of a canal
boat. Through the negligence Of the
state the boat was sunk. It was val
ued at S1,289.96. It seems the boat
was loaded with corn which had a
value of $3,2O6, but the appropria-
tion requested was .S16,9O5. The ap-
parent discrepancy between the sum
total of these amounts is due to the
|. fact that this lamentable accident
happened on May II, 1866, and the
difference is arrived at by charging
interest at the rate of 6 per cent.
