MEXICO CITY, July 29.-Crea-

formation for the foreign press was
followed, within fortnight, by the
disappearance from the cable office
in Mexico City of the censors, who,
the constitution of 1917 to the con-

Bringing of the censorship to the

far performed by the information bu-

them.
Operated through the Department
of the Interior, over which Manuel
Aguirre Berlanga presided, and with
Mario Mendez, general manager of
the national telegraph lines, as chief
censor, the censors were factor not
to be disregarded up until May z,
when the CarranZa government evae-
uated the capital. During the war,
charges of pro-Germanism against
Berlanga and Mendez often were
linked with limitations of the value
of the censorship to the Germans in
Mexico.
Not only were allied business in
terests resentful and powerless, but
foreign correspondents faced a great
err inconvenience, even danger. Even

.M-KAISERIN NOW
INVALID In EXILE
Is Attended Almost Con
stantly by Lady-in
Waiting

DOORN, Holland, July 29.-The
former German Empress, Auguste
Victoria, has undergone so much dis
tress during the past two years that
she has suffered for several months
from aggravated attacks of heart dis
ease. Recently she has been leading
the life of an invalid. She has had
milder attacks of this malady for
many years.
At the House of Doom, where, sur
rounded by staff of her own Berlin
servants, and attended almost con-
stantly by Countess Kellar-for many
years her lady in waiting-she has re-
Gently been so completely indisposed
that she has at time been unable to
walk and has not for long time been
permitted to walk up or down the
stairs. A special elevator was built
for her use.
Those familiar with the inner life
of the former Emperor's house
hold since the flight from Potsdam to
Holland declare that while William
consoling himself with religion, has
been more or less of stole, the for
mer Empress has suffered great men
tai distress, and has felt severely the
separation from her children.
From the time she arrived at Amer
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-07-29

ongen, in November, 1913, she has
suffered continually. Now and then,
she was the victim of heart attacks so
severe that she was confined to her
bed for several days at time.
In the spring of 1920, when the
Kapp revolution in Berlin was follow
ed by an urgent demand that the for
mer Emperor be closely guarded, the
life of the exiles became more con-
strained, and Auguste's ailment more
pronounced.
She was constantly under the treat
ment of DR.. Haehner, a Berlin ply
stefan, who is member of the for
mer Emperor's staff, and, also, not
ed Dutch specialist in heart diseases,
from Utrecht, was called into consul
tation.
He decreed that she must lead a
very quiet life and it has been no Sc
cret at Doom that in May and June
of this year, the former Empress suf-
fered such violent attacks that her
life was despaired of. On these occas-
ions, the former Crown Prince and
such others of the Hohenzollerns, who
were in easy reach, were summoned
to her bedside.
At Doom, everything has been done
to avoid disturbing the former kais-
erin. News, or information that
might tend to excite her, has been
kept from her. She has never been
left entirely alone. If she has been
able to walk in the garden, attend
ants were in easy call.
