DELAYS IN CENSORSHIP
ELIMINATED AT SAYvILLE
No Longer Cause in Germany for
Complaint of Incorrect News
From United States.

The oft-repeated complaint of German
officials that the shaping of Germany's
course toward this country has been
handicapped by incomplete or incorrect
information led to the statement at the
State Department yesterday that delays
in the American censorship at Sayville
have been eliminated and that news was
now going forward by wireless direct.
Ever since the break in relations the
German officials have complained that
they did not know what was developing
in the United States, and that they were
entirely dependent on indirect reports
censored in England. For days the Ger
man foreign office profeSsed to believe
that German ships in this country had
been seized, German sailors interned ana
various other unneutral acts committed.
Officials say there will be no basis Tor
further complaints, as special effort
is being made to expedite wireless as
patches to Germany. Moreover, the
Swiss minister is permitted to send a
certain amount of news to Germany
While il is not known definitely II ne
has sent reports of President Wilson
decision to arm American merchantmen,
officials say there would be no objection
to his doing so. provided he did not send
further information as to military de-
tails.

Denial was made yesterday by George

embarrassed by it's circulation.
Friends of Mr.. Haas also were en-
phatic in branding the statement as
unworthy of notice, stating that his

Favor Larger Boats.
Naval officers have favored the larger
boats as being swifter. more heavily
armed and more seaworthy than the
thirty-footers. A boat 10 feet long
would be able to keep to the sea con-
tinuously in ordinary weather for con-
siderable period. Heavier guns could be
carried, also, than on smaller craft, and
the living conditions for the crew would
be better. Small boat builders have
not done commercial work of that size
to any great extent, however, and 1t
may be necessary to order several types
in the effort to get quick delivery.
1t has been estimated that the first
chasers could be constructed in two
months or less and that duplicates could
be produced at the rate of thirty to
fifty a week thereafter The engine sup
ply probably would be the governing
factor, and with authority to require
manufacturing plants to take navy Or
