CENSORSHIP TlGHTENED
Voluntary Rules Under Which Press
Operated Made More Severe

Washington. July 31.-A new list
OF press regulations making material
changes in the voluntary censorship
rules under which American newspa-
pers have been operating was pro-
mulgated by the committee on public
information.
The new regulations contain the
first general request that there be no
published mention Of the arrival or
American troops at European ports,
replacing in that respect an express
authorization in the old rules for use
OF any cable dispatch passed by the
European censor.
Other sections OF the old regulations
are made more severe by specific stip-
ulations in place OF the more general
language employed in the rules In
force until now. Information which
the government considers might re-
veal military movements or policies
is described in great detail.

Government 10 Not Questioned
Precedent For Expulsion Found In
Cases Of Dumba, Papen and Boy-ed

Washington, July 31.-So numer-
Gus have become the reports OF Ger
man spy activities and propaganda In
Mexico that Ambassador Fletcher Is
prepared upon his arrival at Mexico
City to call the attention of the Mex
lean government to the links In that
country between Berlin and German
agents in the United States.
officials of the state department DO
not question the integrity Of the Mex
lean government. but the reports
have left no room to doubt the exist
ence of a German organization IN
Mexico whose Vaccinations may be
defined as a violation of Mexico's neu-
trality.
The Carranza government Is be-
lieved III fact to be disturbed by the
| abuse of its hospitality, and there Is
| a feeling here that the time is not far
distant when certain representatives
| in Mexico of the German foreign or
flee may be officially questioned as to
their activities.
How extensive the work of the Ger
man agents has been in forwarding
information to Germany by mail OF
| other means has not been ascertained
by American agents, but evidence oil
their tireless activities in propaganda
has been produced.
When Carl Heynen was arrested a
few weeks ago, on the charge OF spy
activities in the United States, 1t was
not known this work extended to
Mexico, but since then evidence has
been produced to indicate that he was
very intimately connected with the
German spy system there and that the
men who formerly reported to him
are continuing their efforts.
4 While almost every other govern
ment has decreased the number Of its
consular representatives in Mexico
Germany has kept there full lis'
and Minister Won Eckhardt has been
at the capital since the overthrow VI
Huerta.
1t will be pointed out to the Mexi'
can government that in the event o.
reasonable proof of undue activities
by any German consul or diplomat
precedent for expulsion from the
country can be found in the cases ol
Dumba, Won Papen and Boy-Ed.
The American government is no
concerned so greatly at the sugges
ton that Mexico is used as relay
point for military Information as it IL
over the constant and apparently un
interrupted German propaganda from
Mexico and over the possibility O
curtailment of the Mexican oil supply.

morning Of st. Valentines day. The

What sounded like the gasps of q
dying man called me to Feldon's side
five minutes later. He had fallen back
pale and limp, on couch. I propped
up his head and ran for stimulant.

"DOn't save me-" he pleaded. Life
Is all too haunting a mockery. I
thought I had found soul perfectly

beauty and symmetry. But Just look
what she wrote!"
He held up Nellie's valentine, and
