Restrictions on Press Reports.

Tho writer asserts that the Ameri-
can correspondents In Berlin were sum
moued to the press bureau at the end
Of 1915, and facilities to visit the Ger
man front were promised II they would
sign an agreement p.edging themselves
among other things to remain in Germany
for the duration Of the war unless spe-
cal permission were given to leave. They
had also TO guarantee that their des-
patches would bc published IN the
United States precisely as they passed
the censor. and also that they should
supply their OWN headlines and guaran-
90" hat these headlines alone would be
printed.
After trying vainly to convince the
authorities that they were unable to
guarantee how their copy might appear
all the important correspondents perma-
nently stationed in Berlin signed the
agreement. Two or three who refused to
do So were not allowed TO join the trips
20 the front.
"It was undoubtedly this episode -
says Nj. Curtin. which inspired Am
bassador Gerard to tell the America
correspondents last summer that they
would do well To obtain freedom from,
the German censorship before invoking
the American E.mhassy's good offices tn
break down the alleged Interference ot
the British censorship. When the Ger.
mans learned the rebuff Mr.. Gerard had
administered to his journalistic com
patriots the Berlin press launched one
of those violent attacks upon the Am
haSSador To which he has been subjec,
so constantly during the war"
