MEXICO CITY, Tuesday, Aug. 21.- The efficiency of any German bureau of information or any German spy system located in Mexico is dependent absolutely on the efficiency of the censorship imposed by the allied powers. This is the conclusion unhesi tatingly and unanimously pronounced by cable experts, telegraph men and diplomats of those powers who have been in touch with German activity in Mexico rot only since the United States entered the world war. but from the opening of hostlities in 1914. In fact these experts declare that infor- nation from the United States to Ger many could hardly be transmitted by a more inefficient or longer route, and that those desiring to transmit to the central powers information of troop movements and other valuable news would have far less difficulty in send ing it from the United States direct than through Mexico.
 There seems to be little difficulty in getting any sort of news into Mex ico There is small doubt that many letters containing information find their way across the border, although there is supposed to be a strict cen sorship on the American side. Messen- gers or agents have little difficulty in crossing the border, although each person is searched by the American authorities before crossing the Rio Grande. Photographic dispatches also seem to find few obstacles at the bor- der. The question, therefore, appears to be not how to get news of import ance to Germany into Mexico but how to get it out.
 There is but one mail route out of Mexico to Germany except through the United States. This is furnished by the lines of Spanish steamers which touch at Vera Cruz one day each

men from civil life after they are started, except that few men who were denied admission to the other camps through loss of their orders in the mail or some other mischance, may be given opportunity in the third series.
 Secretary Baker pointed out today iii reply to a question as to whether the European divisional army organi- zation adopted for the war would be continued after the restoration of peace, that with the exception of the officers of the regular army and a few men of the old regular enlisted force whose enlistments may not have ex- pired at that time. the entire war army will pass out of existence. The ques- ton of establishing a continuing mili- tary policy of universal service has been debated to some extent recently. The impression prevails among many members of congress, however that it would be unwise to take~up this ques- Jon now. If the war is long, it may become necessary to provide for the registration of new classes which reach the military age of the selective service bill each year and possibly also to exempt men now registered, but who may pass beyond the maximum age limit before the war ends.

month. The majority of the Spanish steamers go to New York before cross ing the Atlantic and such mail is avail able for censorship at that port.
 Practically all cable routes out of Mexico are also subject to censorship by governments which have broken re- lations with Germany.
 The wireless field offers little more advantage to a German spy system. No apparatus is known to exist in Mexico which could transmit mes sages to Germany without relay.
 Strenuous efforts have been made to find alleged wireless stations operated by Germans or for German purposes in Mexico, but. without avail It is noted as a possibility that news might be transmitted to vessels near any of the countries bordering the Atlantic. but it is argued that such message must soon be noticed when all the coastwise traffic is in the hands of the allied merchapt marine, in which each vessel is equipped with Wireless.

The fighting fronts except in the Austro- Italian theater and in eastern Bukowina and southern Moldavia show a remarkable abatement in the violence of the fighting Along the front in Flanders and northern France bad weather again has set in and aside from reciprocal bombardments, which at some points have reached the stage of drum fire and minor infantry oper- ations on the part of the British, lit tie is being done by either of the bel ligerents.
 In the Verdun sector the Germans have ceased their counter attacks against the newly won French posi- tions evidently having found that the task of trying to rehabilitate them selves was useless.

On the frontier of Bessarabia in eastern Bukowina, the Russian troops again are showing signs of dissaffec- tion, having near Boyany deliberately quit their trenches and retreated east the Austro- Germans taking the trenches they quilted. Near Novo Selica, the Teutonic allies have begun an offensive against the Russians and have captured several positions. In l lower Moldavia in the region of Folk shani, Field Marshal von Mackensen's s army has taken height positions from the Rumanians.
 In northern Russia no fighting of l importance is taking place, evidently indicating that the German offensive west of Riga was not the forerunner of a strong attempt to capture the | Russian seaport and naval base on the 1 Baltic.
