GERMANY PROTESTS
RADIO CENSORSHIP
Won BernstOrff Wants to
Know Why Navy Suppresses
News From Berlin.
VICTORIES KEPT SECRET

WAsH,NoToN. Feb. IS.-Action on the
part Of the American naval censors AZ
the Sayyiile wireless station III suppress
ing an official announcement by the der-
man Admiralty of the reported destruc-
ton Of the British cruiser Arabic in the
North Sea on February II U a
formal protest to the State Department
from the German Government. The
communication was laid before Secretary
Of state Lansing by Count Won Bern
storff, who asked for an explanation.
AZ a result Secretary Daniels an
nOunced his afternoon that he would
confer with the neutrality board 10 de-
iermine whether the regulations under
which the announcement was suppressed
can be modified.
In view Of tine fact that the announce
ment was permitted by British censors
to he printed in London the action caused
particular surprise In German Embassy
circles.
Secretary Daniels admitted today mat
German official war announcements con-
corning naval engagements have been
suppressed by the censors under the rule
that wireless communications. either TO
or from the United states. are not per-
mitted to he passed II they contain refer
ence to names. movements or i'catlons OF
~belllgercnt vessels, whether warships or
merchant ships. lie said this rule was
made entirely in the Interest or neu-
trality and that the fact that the Ger
man Government, itself authorized the
message Is not considered to have al
tered the situation.
Since the United States undertook the
censorship OF wireless communications
the German Government has felt that II
was being unfairly treated. especially In
view OF the fact that no attempt ~ made
to censor the cable Communications 10
and from this country witt England and
other Entente countries. The United
States has justified this distinction on
the ground that. whereas the tcrmini OF
cable MESA ges are fixed. wireless mes
saees may be intercepted at sea ard
made use of in naval operations. Even
the German Ambassador In communlca-
ting with his Government 10y wireless
code is required 10 submit his message
and the key 10 tho state Department.
German circles fcr- complain that the
censorship cot only embarrasses the en-
hassy but also makes II difficult for Ger.
man correspondents in the United states
To- send news to their papers, Recently
the Washington correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette. for example. was unable
20 send any dispatches by wireless which
made reference To- the prize ship Appam
now AT Norfolk despite the fact that
news Of the Appam's arrival had been
published broadcast in England and
France.

All our military strength, national
and state, is being concentrated for
patrol duty along the border between
the United States and Mexico. The
object Of this patrol is to prevent
raids upon border towns end com
munities by bandits coming out OF
Mexico. Just how long this patrol is
to be continued, nothing has yet been
given out from Washington to init
mate, presumably however 1t is to be
kept up as long as there is danger Of
bandit raids. II that conclusion Is
correct, then we are in for II for all
time. as there is no influence at work
on the other side to put down the
bandit spirit, or TO restore peace and
order, and make Mexico quiet, peace

DEMOCRATIC ACHIEVEMENT.

makes this summing up OF demo-
cratic achievement
"The democratic party can say with
truth that II has accomplished mcre
for the farmers, the laboring men, the
business interests and the people Of
this country as a whole In four years
than have the repub icans during 16
