HAMPER TEUTONS
Indiscriminate Suppression
of News Prevents Presen-
tation of Conditions.

Berne. Switzerland. Feb. 20.-Ac-
cording TO statements made to the
correspondent before his departure
from Berlin by public men in Ger
many. the German government did
not awaken until long after the be-
ginning OF the war to the desirability
Of making favorable impression on
public opinion in neutral countries. An
outlay Of untold hundreds of thousands
OF marks has since been made with
the employment Of considerable staffs
OF officers and men and with constant
" changing systems. in the effort to
achieve the desired ends.
Correspondents f-o1: neutral cOun-
tries have experienced constant diff
Guilty since the beginning Of the war
in attempting to report facts in an IN
biased manner. In the Both month OF
the war Germany applied the same
newspaper methods to American, Dutch.
Scandinavian and Spanish newspaper
men as in the first months. The cen
sOrship has been the main source of
trouble largely because il has been
working at cross purposes with the
very officials who have had II in their
power to adjust the difficulties.
ConsuIs Are Failures
Shortly after the outbreak OF the
war. the foreign office modified con-
foreign languages and installed them
as censOrs. In reality. few of them
are well versed in any language eX-
cept German None Of them has any
conception Of newspaper work The
correspondents speedily came into con-
flict with the censOrs and the govern
ment attempted to remedy the trouble.
However, its efforts consisted OF open
ing up additional channels Of news
which the censOrs stopped.
The constantly increasing number or
cores pOndents in Germany all seeking
an opportunity 10 see something of the
war and TO obtain news. led to the es-
tablishment Of what was known as the
neutral war press bureau. 1t became
q apparent quickly thar the bureau was
at odds with the foreign office Il
sought to extend its jurisdiction so as
to censor everything written. and while
its censOrs clashed with those in the
foreign office the correspondents got
the worst of things.
As the weeks passed the newspaper
men found il almost impossible TO write
of the interesting things they saw
Furthermore. the tendency of the
bureau was 10 send them to points
on the front whore they saw little OF
importance Everything they did writs
was censored in each instance accord
ing TO the individual ideas of the man
10 whom the dispatch was referred. |
Better Men Placed in Charge.
