WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-Believing

plan to checkmate him. Without
waiting for the president to act, they
will ask that the wartime prohibition

GERMANYS PRESS
IS STILL MUzzLED

BERLIN, Nov. Germany still
has a muzzle--or perhaps halter is the
better word--on her press.
German authorities resent such a
sclaim, and the press probably won't
admit II. 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. If a pa
per gets beyond the bounds of what
the German Government regards as
propriety either In its news or editor
ials. Noske quickly attends to the case
of that publication.
So perhaps, it is small wonder that
the press heeds the halter, and be
haves properly.
And the government still clings to
the old institutions The Allgemeine
Zejtunr which used to be the official
nouthpiece Of the Kaiser regime is
Still purveyor of inspired news for the
government The government still
clings To- tho Wolff telegraph bureau
ps its distributor of official and In
spired tidings giving 1t preference over
other agencies and individuals. In
fairness. be it said that few men
connected with the government, whc
have he'd experience with American
Journalism have striven to divorce tho
government and the presto play
fairly with everybody and to avoid the
official "doctoring' of news.
But their views go fer naught Ger

$4,000 CHILDREN GET
FREE RIDES In ONE
MONTH IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. s.--Offictals
have gathered figures which prove
that 10000 children we're allowed TO
ride free on the street cars of the city
between September 4 and October L.
The existing city ordinance provides
that children less than years of age
shall be allowed to ride without pay
ing any fare. SfsW
Thomas Murphine. superintendent
of public utilities. SAYS the ordinance
is being abused. and suggests that IL
be changed
''If some of the kids who rode free
were under 3. | can make a Swiss
watch with sledge hammer" said
Murphine. He favors changing the
ordinances to read children In arms
only shall be given free transporta-
ton
But there are disadvantages to such
an alteration, it has been pointed out
to the public utilities superintendent.
Suppose a regular herman should en-
ter a street car. carrying In his arms
a child 10 years old. what would the
conductor do?
The city authorities don't know
What to do.
