Our British advisers tells us that we

Great Britain had adopted, at tho out
break OF the war. strict regulations
in this respect. the war would be
closer TO an end. They rccite specific
instances Of information which. trans

channels, resulted disastrously TO
British maritime military adventures.
Tho pressure Of British advice Is
strong and It Is more than likely to
result, eventually. In the promulga-

GERMANY HAS MANY FRIENDS

Tracing back the action OF states
men who are engaged In seeking TO |
hlock measures which Will tend to
add to the efficiency OF the United |
States In the war. one finds that those |
very statesmen were opposed TO any
effective action on tho part OF the
United States at any stage OF the
80 has
marked our activities up 20 date,
The men who sought TO prohibit this
country from selling munitions OF war
md supplies In general to the Allied
Powers, the men who urged that an
American citizen had no right TO
travel ON tho high seas unless under
rules written by the German Govern
ment, the men who dwelt on the un-
deniable fact that II we went into war
tho blood OF our young men would
be spilled on the battlefields OF Eu-
rope, the men who maintained that
we should not raise armies except in
defense OF our own soil, have not
changed their minds.
FIGHT IN THE DARK. LIKE THE
SUBMARINE COMMANDERS.
They are still taking n hand in
making our laws. Instead OF fighting
IN the open, tney are now IolloWlnB
the tactics OF the commanders OF tho
submarines. The Representatives and
Senators who wanted Germany TO
win In 1914 are Just as fervent In their
hopes to-day, and II takes but a short
session In the galleries OF the Con-
gress TO rlvet this fact on the mind
of one whose memory goes back fur
ther than the day before yesterday.
Speaking OF censorship. II may be
said that II the Administration has it's
way, tho censorship will be made
more drastic. George Creel, Chair
man Of the Bureau OF Public Informa-
ton, went TO New York last night
30 confer with the managers OF press
associations about plan TO censor all
incoming and outgoing messages In
the cabio offices IN New York city.
Such censorship will. naturally. lead
20 the censorship Of all business cable
gessages and, In the course OF time,
70 the censorship OF outgoing mail
matter.
