GERMANYS PRESS; STILL
MUZNm: NOT ADMITTED
BUT FACT NEVERTHELESS
Wolff News Bureau Still

BY Carl ID. GrOat.

Omitted Press Correspondent.)
Berlin, (By ail.)-Germany still
has muzzle-or perhaps halter is
the better word-on her press.
German authorities resent such a
claim. and the press probably won't
admit it, but nevertheless it is fact
There is no censorship in the strict
sense of the word, but the newspapers
print practically what they are per-
mitted to say-and no more. II a
paper gets beyond the bounds of what
the German government regards as
propriety either in it's news or eda-
torials, Noske quickly attends to the
case of that publication.
So perhaps, it is small wonder that
the press heeds the halter, and be-
HAYES properly.
And the government still clings to
the old institutions. The Allgemeine
Zeitung which used to be the official
mouthpiece of the kaiser regime is
still purveyor of inspired news for
the government. The government
still clings to the Wolff bureau as it's
distributor Of official and inspired
tid1ngs, giving it preference over
other agencies and individuals. In
fairness, be it said that a few men
connected with the government, who
have had experience with American
journalism, have strlven to divorce
the government and the presto
play fairly with everybody and to
avoid the official "doctoring" of
news.
But their views go for naught.
Germany has shaken off many of the
old institutions, but there are few
lessons she has failed to learn, and

Today's fight of the huge craft was

Immediately on his arrival here
Lieutenant Commander A. C. Read

that the seaplane would remain at Hal

A few minutes before Lieutenant

dirigibles while they are moored, shout
ed to the sailors straining on the ropes
holding the balloon: walk the ship
bodily south" The men obeyed with
will. and the nose of the big craft
was pulled out until it pointed in the
direction of the wind.
The officers of the station then rath
cred round and shook hands with the
crew.
"Shake hands with the King for me-"
called out Lieutenant Robert Dona-

Indeed I will, Donahue," replied

cording to the latest wireless reports,
the airship was making an average
speed of fifty-eight miles an hour. She
was expected to lahd in moonlight at
st. Johns early this morning
At 7:4O o'clock last night she was
sighted abeam Liscomb, on the east
coast of Nova Scotia, according to a
wireless message from the steamship
Lady Laurier to the Canadian Marine
Department. Two hours earlier she was
reported as passing over Halifax, N. S.
When the C-5 passed over Halifax
harbor it was travelling at high speed,
reports from that city stated. From
points of vantage the balloon was
plainly visible to many people on shore.
1t did not appear to be more than 500
feet above the water If it kept up the
same speed, experts in Halifay esti-
mated that it would reach the New
foundland coast about 2 a. M
Reports from st. Johns stated the
wind was blowing from the northeast,
but the indications we're that it would
veer around toward the south by night
fall and materially assist the airship
in its long flight. Everything there
was IN readiness to receive the C-5.
According to present arrangements, the
crew will be given twelve hours sleep
on arrival, so they will be ready for an
early flight to the Azores.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the
dirieible was hauled out of her hangar
by 300 sailors attached to the lighter
Shan-air section Of the Montauk sta1
zion. A full crew had been working on
her all night after her fight the pre-
vious day to New London, Conn, and
back.
Two hours later big blast was
blown from the siren, signalling all
hands to the ropes. The men piled out
of the mess hall with big shout and
rushed over to the dirigible.
Ten thermos bottles containing cof-
fee and water, boxes Of sandwiches and
cans of beans were placed aboard to
sustain the crew during the flight

Flight Postponed Until Dawn
at had been intended to make only
brief stop at Halifax and continue
our flight reaching Trepassey this eve
ming by taking advantage of the moon
light for night flying. This would
have been quite possible if we had
been able to make as early start
from Chatham as we had hoped. How
ever, minor engine troubles cropped up
at the last moment and our departure
was delayed by the necessity Of some
slight repairs.
AS matters stand now, we have come
to the conclusion that it would be un-
wise to proceed to Trepassey this aft.
ernoon. Several reasons have influ-
enced me in that decision. There NAV
be slight repairs that need to be made
and it would probably be inadvisable tc
attempt to effect a landing in unknown
territory after darkness has fallen
Therefore we have put off our flight
until dawn Tomorrow
Asked as to the course he had fol-
lowed, Read said it was the one
scheduled and taken by his two prede-
cessors. He came across 22O miles of
open water and then chit Seal Island
Square" as he expressed it. After
that ne followed the Nova Scotia line
