10 extend it's jurisdiction SO as to cen sor eevrything written, and while it's censors clashed with those in the for eign office the correspondents got the worst of things.
 As the weeks passed the neWspa- rermen found it almost impossible to write of the interesting things they saw. Furthermore the tendency of the bureau was tO send them to points on the front where they saw little Of im- portance. Everything they did write was censored in each instance accord. ing 10 the individual ideas of the man to whom the dispatch was referred. Correspondents of whatever national ity were Mot disposed to protest at suppression of military information but they did insist that some degree of fairness be applied to their dis patches
 The government evcntuality discov. cred that the bureau was not q sue cess under Major Deutelmosers sub ordinate and also that it's own press bureau for German newspapers was not operating as it should. In conse- quence there followed a reorganization of the entire press system.
 The men from the foreign office were displaced. although the old cen sors were retained The neutral press bureau was shelved except for the cid censors. There was created so- called military department of the for eign office under Colonel von Haertcn, a keen and wideawake man, and Ba- ron Plettenberg, both of whom have an understanding of foreign view points. They were ruled by the con viction that neutral correspondents themselves were the best judges of what they desired
 Colonel von Haerten provided facil- ties for obtaining the economic, as ities for obtaining the economic, as well as the military news insistently asked for and acted on suggestions made to him He was able to send correspondents to active points on the front. Nevertheless, he or those above lim retained the same censors. who up to the present have acted in an arbitrary manner ineXplicable to neu. trsls.
 For example, they frequently held back the very information which had been furnished by the military de- rartment itself and refused to pass. apparently innocent news items pub iished ir the German press. which were picked up and telegraphed from Poland, Dunmark or Switzerland

Washington. Feb l9-There were strong indications tonight that unless some sensational development pre- cipitates immediate action, President Wilson's next step in the crisis with Germany will he postponed until few days before congress adjourns, week from Sunday
 A belief is prevalent in official quar- ters and at the capitol that the pres ident intends to ask congress for au- thority to protect Americans and their ships from illegal submarines at tacks and as he is known to want no extra session if it can be avoided, it is regarded as certain that he will ad- dress joint meeting of congress be fore March l. It was stated authori tatively again tonight that nothing to- ward that end had been done since the president visited the capitol and diacnssed ;hc subject with senators Saturday evening.
 Although recognizing the existence of minority opposition in both houses to a resolution which would give the president authority to deal with any emergency that might arise after aG- journment. administration leaders arc satisfied that if sich po%er is sought. it will be given. The minority conten tion is that the executive now has power to use the nations armed forces short of war and that if ne- cessary the new congress could De called into session quickly

THE WAR IN BRIEF

On the Irak front Asiatic Turkey the British and Turks have been en- gagged in hard fighting at Sannaiyat, about twelve miles northeast of Kut- El-Amard. In their onslaught the Brit ish captured front line Turkish posi- tions at two places respectively on frontages of $50 and $40 yards.
 Their tenure of the positions was short lived, however. for the Turks in two heavy counter attacks forced the British right wing back upon it's origi- na, line. The left wing continued the struggle of attempting to hold back the Turks until near nightfall when it also fell back covered by the bar rage fire of the British guns.
 Aside of this engagement no fight of importance is reported in any oi the latest communications.
 The operations on all fronts have .heen married out by small raiding par ties, sappers and the artillery wings of the belligerent armies.
 London reports on the fronts &l France the British carried out success of full raid west of Souchse, while Berlin reports British bombardmep 2 west of Messines and north of Az mentieres resulted in failure. The ar tillery duels between the French and Germans on several sectors of the Fer dun front have again become quite severe.
 The usual artillery actions and min or skirmishes continue in the Austco Italian theatre and in Macedonia.
 Teutonic allied submarines contint ed the sinking of neutral and allied vessels. Mondays report from Lon don show that two more British steam CTS of an aggregate tonnage of S.242 tons have been sent to the bottom

Copenhagen. Feb l9. Via London. All Americans arriving from Berlin have reported that the situation in Berlin so far as Americans are con "erned is little changed since the de- parture of Ambassador Gerard.

The only inconven- fence has been inability to get per mission to leave the country. Even this is not felt seriously by a large part of American residents who have determined to remain in Germany re- gardless of developments and who with the usual optimism of Americans in a similar crisis are becoming con yinced that matters will not be be- y0nd the present status of ruptured relations.
