TO AGENTS OF GERMANY

For the better protection Of allied in
terests in the war. the government will
deny cable communication with neutral
countries to number of persons in the
United States. including some American
citizens, on the suspicion that they have
furnished information to the enemy on
military, naval and commercial oper-
ations.
Telegraph and cable companies will
be given lists Of individuals who have
been under surveillance, with instruc-
tions to refuse transpission of their
messages.
| Some Of the men under the ban are
said to have been engaged by neutral
European neutral countries or in Mex
| leo. South and Central America, to
| gather information ostensibly for COM
mercial purposes entirely. but in real
ity for transmission to Germany.
| Although these agents In some in
| stances are unwittingly acting in the
enemy interests, the avenues of COM
munication will be closed to them by
the government censorship board. which
! is exercising control over cable, tele-
| leaving the United States.
The censorship action is but one
phase Of the program for Tightening of
control over enemy activity in this

suit OF striking a white woman with his
automobile. Long was docketed at the
police station and released on bond. but
the negro soldiers heard that "a SOL

started out to rescue their comrade.
Col. Stansberry Of the 112th Military
Police ordered all soldiers to their quar-
ters and called all extra military ponce
into service to keep everything moving
smoothly. AL roads were patrolled by
tho policemen and all automobiles stopped
and their numbers taken.
