"On the left bank of the Meuse the
bombardment has been rather lively in

Zurich May 2s.-Three professors OF
Zurich University have been expert

muscles in the stumps of amputated
arms to connect with artificial hands

London, May 10.-With the war not
far from completion OF its seconn
wear. the American newspaper corre-
snondents in London have become so
accustomed TO working under the ham
dicaps Of a censorship that there IS
now comparatively little friction be-
tween the men who would send the
news and those who would stop It. Al
though there are occasional stoppages
that are past understanding, CORE
spondents generally have learned the
limitations under which they can dis
seminate news from belligerent
country. and the censors have at the
same time generally become more rea-
sonable.
Sir Edward T. Cook, who, with Sir
Frank A. Swettenham, directs the
Press Bureau, has given to a CORE
spondent OF The Associated Press an
exposition Of the principles under
which the handling of news, both for
the foreign and British papers, is ad-
ministered under war conditions.
Sir Edward formerly was editor OF
"The Daily News" He said that the
Press Bureau never censors articles
or kilograms criticising the censorship
Sir Edward declared that the only
"bououet" thus far laid at tho feet OF
the censors came unintentionally from
Count Won Bernstorff, Germanys Am
bassador to the United States, when
the ambassador described the British
Press Bureau as one which ain its effi-
ciency and Imaginative powers has
never had It's equal in the history OF
the world"
A Real Compliment.
"That," declared Sir Edward, us
probably higher praise than we de-
serve, but I think it is pretty good evil
dence that we have prevented some
things which the enemy would have
liked and done other things which he
has disliked. That is a real compli-
ment, for the Press Bureau is war
department"
Sir Edward pointed to the British
governments notification upon the out
break of the war that the telegraphic
and radio services throughout the en-
pire would be suspended, and he en-
phasized the phrase in this notification
that the government would under GER
tain conditions permit the transmission
of some messages "as an act OF grace.
"In quoting the governments notl-
fcation, / was dealing only with
rights" he said. ain interpreting the
notification in practice we do not say
when a message is put up to US: Here
is an American message. Come. let US
kill il; we have the right What we
actually say to ourselves is, Let us see
if this cannot be passed as it stands
And if it cannot: Let US see how lit
tie need be taken out"
Sir Edward explained that the CEN
sorship is governed by the Defence OF
the Realm act, by the regulations made
under it by Orders in Council, and by
instructions, explanatory in detail,
which are issued from time TO time by
the Press Bureau and by various de-
partments of state.
Object of Censorship TwofOld.
The object of the censorship which
the British government imposes, said
Sir Edward, is twofold; first, to prevent
the British press and the cables over
which Great Britain has control from
being used to disseminate military and
naval information likely TO damage the
cause of the Entente Allies or TO be Of
