GERMAN PAPER IGNORES
UNUSUAL Censorship
Refuses to Print Stereotyped Com

New trouble Is in store for the German
The Muenichener Neueste
Nachrichten says:
1.-THE speeches of Asquith and Lloyd
George issued Saturday night by the
Wolff Bureau were accompanied by
quasi official notice declaring that they
could be published only II they were
followed by comment on the line of an
accompanying model. Naturally we re-
fused to obey such instruction on the
part Of censorship, as they go far ber
yond their boards fixed by the declara-
lions of the reichstag and by the re-
public authorities"
the German newspapers II they could
not be trusted to comment on the
speech of enemy statesmen, in ac-
cordance with a conscientious judg-
ment of the facts. To prescribe any
fixed editorial comment may satisfy
certain circles who think that all pa
pers should follow the stereotyped Ber-
lin model. but newspapers conscious of
their own responsibilities must refuse
to accept such guardianship"

central agency from which supplies Of

It has been reported to Director Calla-
han that many persons who received war
savings stamps as Christmas presents al
ready are caSh1ng them IN at lne CITY post
Office and its branches Feeling strongly
that such action Is not only contrary to
the spirit in which the gifts were made
but contrary to good citizenship. Mr.. CAL
lahan issued the following statement:
Redemption Of Stamps Deplored.
81 have learned from various sources
that the people are not exercising the
patriotic spirit they should with regard to
the war savings stamps which they re-
ceived as Christmas gifts and bonuses
Much to the regret Of the committee. we
have heard that some individuals have al
ready redeemed these stamps for cash.
TT is to be hoped that future redemp-
lions will be entirely eliminated. Any
spirit which moves the citizens of this
country to redeem these stamps. except
where the necessities OF life make 1t
absolutely necessary, is working
against that idea which we are trying
to upbuild in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people. Save money and save lives
is the thought which we must keep ever
before us. Besides the immediate needs
of the government. it must be remem-
bered that the spirit in which these
stamps are purchased should instill the
habit of thrift, economy and saving
into the lives Of every loyal Ameri-
can"

was indignant. Her first intention
was to dismiss the culprits, but they
were excellent servants, and, more

In the land of the foe that we fight
