attack by u German flying machine on
London, nothing may be published. g.
Attention is drawn to the frequent
ill-humor at the front often caused
when it appears from the selections
of captions for the reports of the WAY
events, that the press out OF need Tor
sensation, or awkwardness, does not
permit the recognition of which event
is the most important.
"Reprinting of articles of nelltra! or
enemy papers concerning the condl'
tons in the Russian army is permit
ted.
1.-THE publication which permits to
be recognized the effectiveness Of geo.
logy or kindred sciences in the service
of the army are not permissible in the
technical as we'll as in the daily press.
Political Letters Barred.
1T is not permissible that third per-
sons appeal to members of the army IN
newspapers, brochures or pamphlets in
order to call upon them to take up po-
sitions toward any political news what
ever. 1t is especially requested to him
der such appeals.
''The publication of letters from the
field Of a political nature is forbidden.
"The publication of anything con-
corning the state Of the clothing ma
terial business and concerning the pur-
chase Of clothing material in the occu-
pied districts, as well as in SWitzer-
land, is to be avoided.

manner.
"The Austrians on the Isonzo front
have had very good successes. 1t Is de-
sired to continually take notice there
of. The whole strength Of Italy is
fighting against Austria, while Austria
is forced to use strong forces in 9th
er directions. The Austrian success Is
naturally also pleasing to US, entirely
aside from the satisfaction which 1t
must awaken If our allies accomplish
successes with their carrying on Of the
war.
Praise Austrian Gains.
ut is therefore requested to dis
cuss continually the occurrences on
the Isonzo in this sense.
"For the present nothing may be
published concerning the explosion
which took place in the morning at the
Friedrichsstrasse station in Berlin.

merical statements, estimates, relative

and ore; 3, concerning the stock, sale
and use Of such production is also to
be applied to the countries allied with
Germany
"Warning-POlice authorities have
again been notified to seek out and
to bring to ruthless punishment origi-
majors and commentators Of untrue
military, political, financial and eco
nomic reports. Past warnings have
not prevented new, nonsensical and un-
founded rumOrs.
"Attention is again drawn to the or
der Of February %, 1917, P. II. IL
6675 in accordance with the public ex-
preston of sentiments hostile to Ger
many, and the spreading Of untrue re-
ports concerning the war, concerning
the political, financial and economic
situation of the German empire Is for
hidden, and transgressions are sub
ject to punishment"
