CURRENT COMMENT
Britlsh censOring Of American Nan.

The British mail censorship become,
peculiarly irritating in its assumption OF
the right to delete passages from the
letters OF correspondents Of American
newspapers resident in Germany These
letters are written for the perusal OF
Americans and are meant to present in
our newspapers the war situation from
the German point OF view There is no
question involved of British newspapers
printing the letters, nor OF the circu-
lation of the American newspapers con-
tanning them in Great Britain or any
British dominion. Simply because the
German mails in transit TO the United
States are paved over by British clerks
the censorship presumes that il may
set up as judge as 10 what we Americans
shall read concerning conditions in Ger,
many and German beliefs and hopes as
to the conduct of the war There could
be no better way devised to stimulate
with the German cause in this
controversy Republican.

Prosperity and High Prices.

Because the Traveller believes that the
silent vote will settle the election, and
that the silent vote is not largely in
iluenced by appeals to party loyalty or
to ancient political doctrines which may
mean much or little the Traveller would
! like to hear from recognized Democratic
organs volunteer and regular-th their
versions of the facts concerning two sub
iects that deeply concern the average
voter.
II the present administration and its
economic methods have brought to the
United States a wonderful degree Of
prosperity, to which war orders have
only unimportant and temporary rela-
ton TO what extent is the average citi-
zen sharing in that prosperity and how?
In view OF the fact that the Democrat.
ic convention in Baltimore four years
ago promised reduction in the cost of
living if the party should be placed in
power, why is it that the cost of actual
necessities is rising every day and that
the rise is hitting the average citizen
more directly and perceptibly than the
Democratic wave of prosperity
When the average citizen is comparing
his wage bills with his bills for living
expenses, he isn't a Democrat and he
isn't a Republican. He is an animated
point.-Boston Traveller

experiment in the navy, the application
of the "Plattsburg idea" About 300 ci-

will participate in modified motorboat
exercises in home waters.
This first experiment in the navy in
training volunteer civilians in the duties
of petty officers in order to be ready with
practical aid in a national emergency will
be watched with keen interest. There
seems no reason why by another year
this training may not become as popular
and as helpful in crystalizing public SEN
