EDITOR HARDEN IS
 AGAIN ON VACATION
Die Zukunft Suppressed For Pointing Way to Peace to Imperial
 Government.

Amsterdam, July 7.-Die Zukunft of Berlin, Maximillian Harden's pa per, which has again been suppressed. informed it's subscribers that the ac- tion was taken in consequence of its issue of June 30. This number crit icised the Nord Deutsche Allegimine Zeitung's statement on the Grimm Hoffman affair which resulted in the resignation of Dr. Hoffmann as a Swiss federal councillor and the ex- pulsion of Robert Grimm, the Swiss international socialist from Russia af- ter the exposure of the recent abor- tive peace maneuver. Die Zukunft refuted the Zeitung's humanitarian pose and said early peace was only possible by Germany crushing her enemies or joing her efforts to these of the majority of the world.
 "It is only this second miracle that is obtainable by human strength, Die Zukunft points out adding that the aims of Germany's enemies are the right of nations to self-government, honest and not merely spacious d1- intuition of armaments, an arbltra- ton court to decide who is guilty of starting them; a bond of nations to carry out the courts decision, and the creation of situation which would remove the decision of peace or war from the will of one mortal and place it in the hands of the community.
 'If," continues the paper "Germany sees celestial signs shining over these aims, then peace is attainable tomor- row; but if a situation for which millions of people have yearned ap- pears ignominious to her, she must continue to fight until one group con- uuers and the other sinks down.

STEAMER ORLEANS SUNK
She Was First Vessel to Go Through U-Boat Zone With American Flag. Following Kaiser's Note.

Washington, July 7-The American steamship Orleans of the Oriental Navigation company, which was the first ship flying an American flag to brave a transatlantic voyage after Germany announced her ruthless sub marine warfare policy last January, has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.
 Four of the crew were drowned, but all the members of the armed naval guard were saved. The state department, in announcing the sink ing, withheld the time and place of the attack.
 When the Orleans. which was d vessel of 2.SsS tons gross, formerly known as the Avellaneda and later as the Menaptha, arrived at Bordeaux in February, she was welcomed with a great demonstration.

PUl.LAR & NVN
PRESS NOT GUILTY OF AIDING ENEMY
Lord NorthCife Would Examine
 All Mail Sent to Spain

Washington, July 7.-Lord North cliffe, head of the British missions in this country has authorized pubE- cation of parts of a I~confidential speech on spies and cf>.sorship made to the National Press club July 4. He described the work of spies in England and the flood of fatal in- formation that pours over the cables through neutral countries to Ger many, and spoke of the dangers of any except technical military or naval censorship of the press. Only twice in the last month, he said. had be seen anything published in Amer lean newspapers that might have been of value to the enemy.
 In his address he said:
 What does not yet seem to be understood here, and what we did not understand at the beginning of the war, is that the really deadly high explosive news Is not newspaper news but the news sent out by spies .ln code to neutral countries for transmission to Germany.
 Admitted that the task of exam ming hundreds of thousands of cables a day is difficult and costly. Admitted that keen brains are required in large numbers for the task. The brains are here in abundance and the outgoing cables can easily be CO., ordinated so that all cables addressed to the same names abroad and even to the same towns abroad come under the eyes of the same censors week after week. It is by means of check ing back cables addressed from Eng land to neutral countries that we have caught many of our spies.
 Ut is not difficult for spies to get news. Their task is the delivery o1 the goods. and to that task they con- centrate.
 Now that ocean travel has be- come so difficult, now that the British mail censor has perfected his meth pds, the enemy spy working in youi midst is thrown back entirely on the cable and one or two steamer routes
 II do not know whether you have mail censorship on letters to Spain out 1 venture to think that if yol have not and start opening letters tc that country you will get as rich z haul of information as our Secre Service department did out of censor Ing of American letters to Europe.
