WAR PRESS
BUREAUS WORK

Communications between general
headquarters and tho newspapers
went thru the war press bureau. This
was formed in October. 1915. out OF
various departments that had been
established In the acting general
staff at the beginning OF the war.
whose duties were 90 read the home
and foreign press and TO act as cen
sors. In the year 1917 the function
was added of attending TO patriotic
education.
The most important civil DEPART
ments OF the empire and Prussia had
liaison sections az the war press
bureau. and by the side OF II stood
the press department OF the naval
staff. The war prcss bureau has al.
ways worked In the'elosest cooper.
alton with these departments.
The war press bureau. In accord.

RESE>TS ATTACK
on BUREAU

The Importance OF the war press
bureau lay in it's rigid organization.
IN It's personnel OF its co.operators
and In the lack OF any unified i'm.
perial organization. The press was
conscious Of this. It's discomfort was
not so much directed against the war
press bureau as against all tho vari-
GUS press offices. which had no
proper organization or control.
The majority OF the unjustified at
tacks made upon this bureau In the
Relchstag were almost all due to
Ignorance OF the exact scope OF It's
functions. They merely show how
impossible II was for general head
quarters, with the available means,
to achieve any Improvement In
morale. The war press bureau was
there, and people could form I'M
favorable judgments upon II. but
they did not inquire into causes and
assist me to get a large imperial
bureau.

twice weekly with the members Of
the Berlin press and the provincial
press represented In Berlin. at which.
In addition TO representatives OF the
war press bureau, there were also
present members from the naval
staff and from all thcs imperial of.
fees. were only OF assistance TO a
section of the press. Speeches were
accordingly given from time TO time
by officials Of the imperial offices

press in different parts of the coun.

DEFINES GOOD
