DRASTIC ORDER
IS ISSUED
GERMAN EDITOR FORBIDDEN To
PUBLICLY EMPRESS HIM.
SELF DtRING WAR.
PAPER SUPPRESSED
The Weekly Magazine of NsNimiiial
Harden j. Ordered Suppressed
by Govcrnment--Most Dras-
tic Censorship OF War.

BERLIN. January s--An order
has been issued prohibiting Maxi
milan Harden. noted German journ-
alist. from publicly speaking or writ
ing during the remainder OF the war.
His weekly magazine. The zukenst.
has been suppressed for attacking
the government
The order forbidding the German
editor to express himself By public
speaking or writing is one OF tbs
most drastic censorships invoked
since the beginning of the war The
contents of the articles complained
of were not made public outside of
Germany. II is known that Harden
has been in difficulty with the cen
sors several times for eriticlsing the
government food regulations and 9th
er actions OF the government pertain
ing TO the war Harden is not only
one of the most feared publishers
in Germany, but he is also one OF
the best known men in the empire.
He was a friend OF Bismarck lie
won his way to fame by a series Of
articles charging unspeakable con
ditions and immortality in the en-
tourage of the kaiser. lie was sued
for libel but was acquitted when the
Crown Prince brought 10 the atten-
tion of the kaiser the articles and a
wholesale dismissal of princes and
.princesses resulted.
The Zukenst, or "The Future" Is
q weekly edited by Harden and has
An immense circulation. He was a
forceful writer and Was in demand
as a lecturer.
On December 1, 1911, Harden
gave to the United Press an exclusi q
interview in which he predicted that
a war between Germany and Eng
land was inevitable unless there was
a complete right about face In the
policies of the men IN control Of
Germany's foreign affairs.
"Germany's international position
is worse than 1t has been In many
years" said Harden at that time.
in commenting on the Moroccan af-
fairs. This Is due TO the incapaeity
OF the men at the head of the gov
ernment. For ten years German
diplomacy has acted too much On
the theory that the other man is >
stupid fellow. The kaiser has two
alternatives. First, a war with Eng
land in which the United States will
help Germany. The Moroccan dis
pute will result In the occupation OF
Trlpoli by Italy. That answers the
first. The second, TO me is incon-
ceivable. 1t Is ridiculous to think
England will help Japan in war
with the United States"
The United Press interview Great
ed sensation in Europe.

OPPOSITION TO
 SHIPPING BILL
 DISAPPEARING President Confers with Clarke, Simmons, Kitchin
 and Others. GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT OPERATE SHIPS Plan Provides for Bonds of $5O, ,00O, ,O0O to Build or Buy Vessels to Be Leas- ed, Subject to Purchase by
 Government.

Washington, Jan. 26-Some, at least, of the Democratic opposition in congress to the administrators plan for a government-owned merchant marine, was removed at conferences at the white house today.
 After a talk with President Wilson, Majority Leader Claude Kitchin re- turned to the capitol, prepared to submit the proposals now advanced by the administration, for the pur- chase or building of ships for mer- chant trade.
 Alterations in the administrations plan removed the objections upon which Representative Kitchin and others based their opposition to the measure in the last congress.
 Senator Clarke of Arkansas and Representative, Fitzgerald of New York, both of whom opposed the ship ping bill lastsyear, talked to the presi- dent today; hut did not commit them selves as stp, how they would view the new proposals. Tbday's cpfferentes made it clear that the president is definitely com mitted to aa1other fight for the ship ping bill, amt that he proposes to ! make an effort to get it through both house and senate before. it gets caught in the mass Of legislative business which is soon expected to clog the congressio1ral wheels.
 1 Bond Issue Proposed. s,i ..r { s~ l@Sv vrrs 1 framed, proposes an appropriation of $50,00O,000 for ships. The govern ment would buy or build the vessels l and sell or lease them. Only in case no one offers to lease or buy the ships does the bill allow the government to operate them.
 The government could buy back the ships at a reasonable price for naval auxiliaries in time of war. A bono issue of $50,O00. .O00. for, the purchase I or construction of ships would be provided by the bill, which also in. cludes shipping board to contro hsipping rates.
 The vessels would be constructed primarily for use as naval auxiliaries and would be adapted to freight traf fic rather than passenger service. Th' details of the measure have not ye been explained to the congressiona ,l leaders. but they have been assured that the permanent government-own ership feature which last year called
 forth vigorous opposition, will b'
 eliminated.
 Clarke Beat Bill Before. Senator Clarke led the filibuste
 which finally prevented the passag
 of the measure last year: and afte
 his talk with the president today, 1
 was understood he objected to som
 features of the new bill.
 It was indicated at the white hous'
 that the president will not push an. suggestions for revenue Legislation until after the appropriation bills ant
 the other measures he is advocating
 are disposed of.
