Censor Helped
Defeat Germany

The postal censor In London was the
dam which held the food of continental
mail until each portion of it could be
passed upon and approved before be-
ing scattered over the wide world.
An idea of the immensely of the task
can be obtained from the fact that a
staff Of nearly a hundred expert lin
gusts was constantly employed to ex-
anime and approve mail matter writ
ten and printed in more than hun
dred languages and dialects. Manu-
scripts in every conceivable tongue
found their place in this great mass
Of mail, estimated at about 10000 let
tiers daily.
Much of the mail was passed with
only mechanical inspection, so sure did
the examiners become of certain cate
gories of communications. But con-
siderable more than the time saved on
harmless mail was consumed in ex-
haustive examination and tests Of
questionable matter, some of which
was subjected to all manner of acid
and X-ray inquiry to detect hidden
messages.
Smuggling Prevented.
There was also for a time a great
smuggling campaign, harmless looking
bundles such as newspapers contain

hington.-Previous to the entry
of the United States into the war, the
problem of airplane radio development
had received attention from the army.
In August, 1910. the first wireless
transmission from airplanes was made.
In the years following the development
Of the airplane radio was carried on
through a series of accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows:
1912-Message transmitted from air
plane to ground by wireless telegraph
over a distance of so miles.
1915-Fan type of driving the wire
less power plant on the airplane de-
veloped and adopted.

fee, rice, tobacco, sugar. and so on.
Some even contained rubber hiddtn be-
tween the pages Of the papers.
The most-sOught-after evidence was
that of military character, and the
censorship of mails more than repaid
its expensive outlay in detecting in.
formation that might have wrought
havoc with allied arms, or at least
helped Germany in no uncertain de-
gree. There is little doubt that none
of that character of information which
the censorship obtained will be made
public, but officials directing Britain'G
war machines have not been slow to say
that thanks to the postal censorship
much valuable military information, Of
every conceivable character, came to
their attention.
Propaganda was the greatest and
most constant effort Of the Germans.
The most harmless appearing sets Of
newspapers and magazines, some of
them with covers dated before the
war, dispatched from neutral nations
to individuals or societies. such as SCI
entific organizations, were often found
to contain the latest German accusa-
tions of British mismanagement in
Egypt, India or Ireland. Books, not al
ways in German, were found to con-
tain everything except what the title
proclaimed. The postal censorship to-
day possesses an intensely interesting
museum Of many OF the propaganda
carriers the Germans sent out, or
caused to be sent out from their agents
in neutral countries.

structed.
19l7-The human voice transmitted
by radio telephone from airplane to
ground.
Talk Thousands Of Miles.
Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use by
engineers Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culml-
mated in successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Airing
ton TO stations thousands of miles
away.
In May, 1917, steps were taken TO
combine the experience of the engi-
neers and Of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later TIE airplane tele-
phone was a fact, and in October, 1917,
long-range test was made. Tele-
phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in flight up TO 25
miles apart and from airplane to
ground up to a distance of 45 miles.
The development of voice command
ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst-
ner field, La, in May, 1918. On June 1
an aerial review was given by an air
feet of two squadrons of IS planes
each, followed by a close order drill
by section of six airplanes.
Throughout the review and the drill
command was exercised by the voice
of the commander flying with the fleet.
In September following, voice COM
manded flying was Instituted at sew
eral other fields.
Avoids Many Accidents.
By using the airplane radio tele-
phone in instructlng aviators In aerial
gunnery it was found possible to reach
the same efficiency with a saving Of
one-third Of the time. BY exercising
control over pilots in the air, accidents
were practically el.w.nated.
At the signing of the armlstice, de-
velopment and training in voice COM
manded flying was well under way.
Numerous demonstrations were held
during November and December and a
fleet of 204 airplanes was Unanswered
in the air at San Diego by voice COM
mand.
In the practical application of the
airplane radio telephone to airplanes,
over 6,000 flights have been made with
this apparatus in this country. In the
last 1000 flights there have been only
"A cases of airplane trouble and only
% cases of radio trouble
Shipments of the apparatus to
France in quantities began August and
September, 1913, and of trained air
service radio personnel in October.

manded military air unit would I'M
doubtedly have made itself felt.

The British postal censor is soon 60
ing the way of the telegraph and cable
censorship-out. Judging from criti-
cisms in America, such as that of the
} Merchants association to the postmas-

coined abroad as In England. But
whatever the petulance of those who
think war restrictions have held over
too long, the postal censor, In the opin-
ion of those who have watched his
work from the viewpoint of British and
allied security throughout the war,
has been Of the greatest service In
defeating Germany.
The nearness of the date Of the de-
mise Of this institution has called forth
considerable information about its
work. Thus far, however, there has
been no amusing side such as was
shown during the obseQuies for the
cable censorship.
Just after Mr.. Lloyd George succeed
ed Lord Kitchener as secretary for
war It is related that he provided the
ammunition for the censor to give the
photographers lease on war life. Mr.
Lloyd George went to Bramshott to
bid good by to a Canadian division
about TO cross the channel. After
the inspection he made a speech from
his motOrcar, concluding with a quo
tation from the Bible: "And may the
Lord of Hosts be with you" Core
spondents who sent their dispatches
first to the censor were surprised to
find the final words of the secretary
running in this fashion: "And may

minds of the news writer's. so they
protested. However, they got their re-
ply from the censor's department:
''The kaiser, having claimed the Lord
as his aid-de-camp, no reference must
be made to the Divinity In this conuec-
ton"
Enemy Schemes Thwarted.

as yet turned up no morsel Of rela-
tive choiceness. The postal censor
