EDITORS INITIALS CUT OUT
Employees in Italian censor's Bureau
Didn't Understand American
Newspaper Ways.

Rome.-The Italian censor's office
has been baffled for two years in an
effort to discover the meaning Of little
groups of letters and dashes, such as
"axyz-wtv," and so on, which appear
at the ends Of news items sent out by
the Associated Press in New York
and remailed from there to the As
sociated Press correspondents from
whom the items came.
These marks are the initials of the
writer, editor or manifolder of the
item, but apparently the employees Of
the censor's bureau suspected they
conveyed some mystic meaning, for
when received by the correspondent
here they have often been cut out Of
the pages, or carefully Obllterated with
ink or, sometimes, the entire batch of
mail is withheld for two or three
months at a time.
The latter is the favorite method
pursued by the censor's office for pre-
venting information of a harmful ma
ture from being disseminated. 1t IS
not unusual for news cables or busi-
ness dispatches Of a nature seemingly
suspicious to be quietly forwarded
week or so after the sender has for
gotten having filed them.
On the whole, however, from an
American point of view, there has
been little complaint regarding either
cables or mails considering the ac-
dvity of spies Of Italy. Most Of the
are made editorially by
Italian newspapers which, when news
is dull, print long trades declaring
that the censor is suppressing inter-
esting news.

pure gold in the middle of the EARTH
Every well, l am your obedient serv-
ant" said Lyle, only half convinced
that his employer was not feather
Drained lunatic.
Lysle West, out of work and tired
Of the city, was not disinclined to earn
a liberal salary out among the wilds
Of nature. 1t was only now on the
eve of departure that the professor
revealed the real details of his under
taking.
"What I'm after" he told Lysle In all
seriousness, "is to discover the vast
core of pure gold that has drlpped
through the upper strata when the
earth cooled off. Naturally the heav-
lest mass would sink the farthest.
can prove that by samples taken down
a few thousand feet. 1 am in hopes
that two thousand feet down as
limit, the core Of Croesus can be To-
Gated. Then, boring into the mex
haustible mass Of precious metal, we
can begin to unearth 1t in cart loads, a
constant stream of it. Oh, l have
figured it all out scientifically. 1t will
cost money, but the initial development
work DONE capital will flow in to me
to carry out my work"
Lysle had learned that the old pro-
fessor had once made a rich strike in
the far West involving enough to keep
him from want for the rest of his days.
This he had ventured on an alleged ra-
dlum mine, where he had sunk all he
had.
"Then my wife died." the professor
explained to Lysle. "Her estate went to
my daughter. All, Dorothy my only
solace in the world-soul Of generosity,
she has given me the last ten thousand
dollars Of her little fortune to finance
me for my experiment. She, at least,
believes in my plans and myself. Dear,
loving, loyal Dorothy"
1t was desolate spot that to which
the professor took Lysle week later.
1t appeared that he had purchased
large acreage, known as Basin Valley,
remote from roads and cities. Its
former possessor had tried agriculture,
and had failed. He had left habit
able house, in which the professor and
Lysle installed themselves quite COM
fOrtably. A mule team from the near
est settlement had brought on a load
Of provisions. There were fish in
near stream and game in the woods
and, therefore, no lack of good living.
All day Lysle measured calculated
and explored to find the ideal spot for
drilling. All day the professor submit
ted surface specimens Of ore and earth
to analysis. They were fully occupied
and rather than lose time took cold
bite for dinner.

two good meals day"
One day, few minutes before noon,
the two workers dropped instruments
and hammer and started for the house.
suddenly both halted and stared at one
another In surprise.
"Dld you hear that" sharply ex-
claimed the professor.
"Why, yes,' replied Lysle-"lt's the
dinner bell you brought with the pro-
visions. Someone is ringing It,"
"And from the house. What can 1t
mean?"
"Perhaps the Chinese housekeeper
you tried to get mt Oreville has

cItedly. ut is n woman, n girl. Why,

old professors daughter, and as he ran

1t was, indeed, a rare, delicious meal.
and Dorothy persisted that she was
elected permanent cook and house
keeper. Her presence held Lysle to the
work he was convinced was bound to
result In nothing, and one day he told
Dorothy so.
II don't know how far you are right"
she said, quite sadly, "but before moth
er died she told me to live close to
him and his ideas. AS to the fortune,
that is nothing to his love-"
So time went on and the last $1,000
went into engaging a drilling crew. 1t
was expensive experimental work. The
professor eagerly inspected the cores
as they were bored out.
"West," he said one morning, "the
drlllers have closed their contract, for
my capital has run out. l am dlsap-
pointed in the borings. They do not
all carry out my theories as to weight

The speaker was strangely subdued
that evening. Lysle was himself de-
pressed, for he fOresaw n separation

When the case was called up before
Federal Judge Vaughan yesterday
