Chief Cable Censor Todd Says
Trade Openings Must Be Pro-
tected from the Germans, Who
! Are Trying to Grab Them.
By A, Il. GELDHOF>

Here is the governments defense of
the commercial censorship in peace
times. as given me by Captain ID. W.
Todd, U. S. n, chief cable censor:
1.-THE armistice with Germany pro.
vided that there was to be no let-up in
the commercial blockade of the central
empires. That blockade, as outlined in
the trading with the enemy act. pro,
thibits any person in the United States
from communicating with the enemy
or from doing business with an enemy
subject either directly or through a
neutral country. ..,......... .-,y
tr',To carry ont the terms Of the trad
ing with the enemy act, it is absolutely
necessary to maintain the cable censor.
ship until peace IS formally declared
: :. ""Germany's commercial agents are
now busy III South America and in all
neutral countries, enddavoring to re
new nermany's former hold on world
trade. Every effort that can possibly
be. exerted by the allies to overcome
this propaganda is being made. We
cannot lift censorship restrictions sc
long as it is possible for German com
mercial agents in this country to take
advantage Of their being lifted,
1.-The allies have agreed to take nc
action relating to war without com
mon agreement. This agreement also
applies to censorship. which will not be
lifted until it is lifted by all allied ma
tiOns. Concessions have already been
made by England and France, at re-
quest of this government. For exam,
pie, England and France, which still
maintain press censorship, have agreed
not to subject press dispatches OF
American correspondents at the peace
conference to their, censorship.
There is only one man who has
authority to lift the censorship before
the war is officially ended. He is

the Dardanelles to search for the Goe,
ben. After diving under the submar-
inc net she found that the Goebeh de,
parted. She then turned back.
A torpedo was fired at the ship
which carried the Goeben's ammuni-
ton. Then a shell hit the submarine
and leaking badly, the submarine rose
to the surface. The forts opened a
heavy fire but did not hit her Be-
coming unsteady she was brought to

TRAGEDY MARS
CHRISTMASDAY
FOR MAX FOLK
Bert Bendickson, Well Known
Farmer, Killed, and Com
paniOns BADLY Hurt.
AUTOMOBILE IS RUN DOWN

En- route in an automobile to some
Christmas festivities, Bert Bendick-
son, Sigford Johnson and Miss Judith
Johnson were run down by south
bound 500 line passenger train two
miles south of Max on Wednesday
evening, and Eendickson was instantly
killed, while Sigfoyd Johnson sustain
ed fractured leg, and Miss Johnson
was badly bruised and cut about the
head.
, The south-bound 500 train left
Max about two hours late. The only
explanation that has been given Of
the accident is that Johnson, who was
driving, must have overlooked the
fact that the train was running be-
hind time, and thinking that it had
gone through on schedule neglected
the usual precautions before driving
onto the track. Mr.. Johnson stated
mediately after the accident that a
binding drift of snow had prevented
him from seeing the headlight OF the
approaching train.
The engineer stopped within few
cars length Of the crossing, backed
up and picked up the dead man and
his injured associates, with whom the
train proceeded to Garrison. Here the
remains of Benedickson were placed
in the custody of coroner, while
first aid attention was given the in
iuries of the Johnsons. The latter
were then brought on to Bismarck,
where they were transferred from the
train to St. Alexius hospital

WAR RELICS FOR
DAKOTA MUSEUM
Majors Wright and Welsh Re-
member Curator
Gilmore.

DIR. NJ. r. Gilmore, curator of tho
North Dakota historical museum. has
received from Major. Dana WRIGHT of
jamestown Il French newspaper pub
lished in the town in which the majors
command is now stationed, comment
ing interestingly upon the passing of
the Iank's wide-brimmed. fatigue hats
and comparing this experience of the
Americans to that of the French sol
diers with their much loved red trouS-
erS. The French newspaper gives as
the principal reason for the substitu-
tion Of tight fitting trench caps for the
more picturesque western headgear the
fact that the wide brim of the latter
casts a shadow over the trench peri
scope and for the further reason that
the hats are cumbersome, unwieldy and
easily lost in a charge
Major Wright has also mailed Dr.
Gilmore a translation in German Of
President Wilson's last message to Ger
many. stating the terms under which
the allies would consider an armistice.
These tranSlatiOns were fioated over
the. German lines attached to small bal
looms, with view to informing the
German troops as to the diplomatic
situation. The majors contribution
also includes a strip of bread tickets
issued by the division of revitalment
of the department OF agriculture, each
ticket calling for 100 grams of bread.
