many's censorship cut an important
Joker" out of the text of treaty
which German officials demanded
that American Ambassador Gerard
sign under threat to hold American
newspaper correspondents as host
ages.
That Joker" does not show in
Berlin dispatches outlining treaty.
It was:
That German ships in American
harbors should not be forced to leave
unless safe conduct from GeFmanys
enemies, which would permit them
to return to Germany or to a neu-
trail port
Same strict German censorship,
which has concealed real develop
ments in the empire and left untold
active anti-American propaganda
therein, did not permit an intima-
ton of this Joker to slip out of the
country.
It was after reading this stipula-
ton that Ambassador Gerard told
Count Monteglas that he would not
even consider the matter, and that
he would remain in Berlin until
kingdom come" if Germany carried
out her threat.
Excelsior of this provision from the
text of the treaty is another exam
pie of strictness of German censor
ship which for months has refused
to pass" real developments to
America. Some of these develop
ments have included:
Anti-American speeches in .reichs-
tag.
Anti-Wilson and anti-Gerard pro-
paganda financed by prominent Ger
man leaders.
Fiery attacks by Stressemann and

Germany is united in the expected

say it is last chance to win or lose;

Special ENJOYS have advised Ger.
