 Berne, Switzerland, June 21.--Any- one accustomed to read the German and Austrian newspapers during the last three years might almost be in- lined to think that the United States had disappeared from the map of the world since their declaration of war upon Germany, or, at any rate, that they were reduced to the level of a tenth-class power. For weeks past now three has been scarcely any writ ing in the German or Austrian press about the United States, while as lit tie news as possible is published about their new adversary. Anything which does appear is usually either an attempt to prove how strong is the opposition confronting President Wilson, or that America will soon be on the brink of famine. To those who have not made a speciality of follow ing. Germany's ways of working this who. like myself, have been stationed, it might be said, within hearing of Germany since before the outbreak of war;. understand perfectly well her mysterious silence and her and Aus- tria's apparent press boycott of the United States. Their pretense that they really take no interest in the dotngs of America and Americans is very much like the simulated fndif- ference ct cat with regard to a dish of fish on the table.
 Now, the man reason for this pre- tended lack of interest on the part of Germany and Austria Hungary is that from the moment of tAInerica's declaration of war German and Aus trfans press censors issued instructions IL --- A America were to appear in the press under their control, except occaszon- ally, for the sake of appearances, some article upon a wholly unimport- ant question such as the characteris- ties of dress of American women trav- cling in Europe or American food and American drinks. The motives for these instructions were stated as being the desirabflity of not putting difficulties in the way of the friends whom Germany still possesses or hopes she possesses in the United States. sTt may be left to our nnil- lionslof fellow subjects in the United States to serve our cause 1nere,- IS the argument that is being used. As for Austria Hungary, although there has seemed of late to be a certain amount of. feeble resistance to over powerful German influence neverthe- less she is too weak effectually to op- pose any measure upon which Ger many 10 determined. Consequently, as regards American news. the Aus tro-Hungarian newspapers are as nn- infornned as those of their Imperial Ally It must never be forgotten, howevef. :. that lthe, actual work of press cenhoring Is done not by It's own subjects. but subjects of Germany. even the Magyard press being censor ed by. Germam officers. M
 Tn Germany itself. and also in Aus tria. the hatred at present against the United States and everything Ameri- can almost exceeds belief. It is no longer "Gott atrafs England, 2 but "Gott strafe Amerika, z which is the cuchoo cry;;- and at public lectures

 Reverse this policy of secrecy, let the people at home have these and other true pictures of the war as it really is, and I firmly believe the re- sponse would be eIectrical--the peo- pie of. the United States would rouse as one man to their task, fired with patriotic fervor born of a full and true understanding of what this war means to them and their future. of the individual obligations it imposes upon those at home as well as upon those who are constantly facing death in the firing line for the eke of those at home. l45z s3s

WILSON PLANS \ WAR MISSION
 10 VISIT JAPAN
Members Will Reach Tokio
 In August as Guests Arrive Here.

washinston. June 2f -President Will sonfwtll send to Japan an American mission headed by one of the nations most prominent citizens. Details are under consideration now amid it is
 likely the Americans will be in Tokio at approximately the same time that the tapanase mission. 2. which is to leave Japan July Or 8, reaches here early in August. A closer mutual un- dersfanding of each nations war aims and of how cooperation may best be effected is expected to result.
 Ambassador Sato doeH not regard the Chinese question as one which even suggests disagreement between the two governments. He believes the question of President wison's note to China and the comment it caused were due entirely to a misund derstanding as to the contents of the note and that at heart Japan and the United States en- certain the same Fundamental views relative to the welfare of the Chinese empire.
 There Is one question about which both Secretary Lansing and Anbassa.- dor SAto are understood to be con- cerned. This ts the dexterity with which German influences are working to distort reports concerning Amer4- can-Japanese relations and to cause i'll feling in both countries at this partic- ular time. It developed yesterday that the distorted version of the American tncte never was cableId from New York by a Japanese newspaper correspond fente in the form in which it appeared Ddn the Asafn of Tokio. It was garbled kdn transrnission, but apparently gar tbled in such a manner as to picture >the United States in a false and un- Favorable light Further investigation will be made of the incident
 Arnbassaidor Sato understands that lGermap schemers are busy in China, band Secretary Lansing's information vregarddng their activities here and in China fully Bear out the suspicious of sthe Japanese sovernnc-s. one par- ticular effort which organized German spropaganda is understood to be naak- ing is to ascertain what disposal Japan ,1nas made and is making of its mild- ttary and naval forces. The Tokio gov ternment is following a policy of abso- Bhute secrecy in this respect It is }zSnown, however. that the American government regards the role Japan is kplaying in the war of the highest i'm fportance.

The proclamation after fraternal

The proclamation continues:
