have been very numerous. One eve

were friendly to Americans and Eng
lish. Two British commercial men
arrested recently were held until
morning, when they were released
with apologies for the mistake.
Meanwhile the rooms of one of them

had finished making his excisions.
IF all the correspondents treated
their work in that fashion l should
be saved much trouble" blandly re-
marked the censor.
