.Censors in Europe
Fail 10 Bar Truth
In News Of War
London Is Only Important
Capital Where All Copy
Must Receive O. K.
By JOHN EVANS.

BY JOHN EVANS.
Associated Press General Foreign Editor.
Europe's censors hinder but fail
to halt the essentially truthful tell
ing of the war news.
Censors delay dispatches, delete
phrases and suppress some dis
patches, but much of the important
news originates where there is no
real censorship. The American re-
porter usually gets his story and
sends it.
Friday, September /, when Adolf
Hitler went into Poland, the British
censor marched into cable, wireless,
telegraph and telephone Offices. He
created such confusion that Prime
Minister Chamberlain changed the
mechanism last Monday. He re-
placed one set of censors with two
and the British newspapers voiced
their unhappiness at the change.
Three Forms Of Censorships.
Relatively, the censorship situa-
ton is what it was September l.
There remain these three forms in
various countries:
Official censoring of local news
papers to control what the pub
lie shall know.
British Official censorship Of
dispatches to the United States
and other countries. Elsewhere
the American newspaperman in
particular is trusted to use dis
cretion on military information.
A censorship of fear or pa
triotism among officials who wish
to make news favorable to their
countries or are afraid of criti-
cism.
London is the only important CAP
ital where United States reporters
submit all their copy to Official CEN
sors, who suppress or delete what
they do not approve. Under new
regulations each government office
will have censors to approve what
is issued to the public but that CEN
sored matter then must go through
other general .censors.
Germany alone of the belligerents
gives the United States reporter
practically normal peacetime facili-
ties. The Associated Press men, like
other Well-known and established
correspondents, file their news with
out censorship. AS formerly, they
are held responsible afterward for
what they send. The ordinary per-
sons messages, however, and doubt
less those of less known correspond
ents pass through censorship in the
telegraph and cable Office. It is said
to be lenient
Phone News Uncensored.
In Paris, Rome and Moscow the
American reporter telephones his
uncensoEed news abroad, but written
dispatches theoretically pass through
a censorship which seems to do little
more than delay them while they
are being read.
Budapest, central point for trans
mitting news from Hungary, Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, is
without censorship except for the
Hungarian press. The four countries,
like many others, have strict control
OF local newspapers but give full
freedom to foreign correspondents.
Occasionally, all communications
are cut temporarily in some acoun-
tries. This happened in Rumania
September 81 when Premier Cali
neScu was assassinated but not in
time to prevent the news from going
out promptly.

French Production Rises

the middle of the street at first and
then took to the sidewalk. Seeing the
door of Shannahan & Wrightson's au-
tomobile show rooms open, he bolted
inside and ran all the way through,
frightening the young ladies working
at the desk. Out the rear door he
went, crossing the street to the Mid
City Garage, and then bolted over the
side brick wall into the Holmes yard.
From there he headed for the Wright
son canning factory, where he went
on the platform. From there he went
by his pursuers. He was then led to
between two buildings and was roped
the cattle pen alongside the railroad
and loaded on Harry Cohen's truck.
He was then returned to his owner,
on the outskirts Of Easton. Strange
to say the animal did no damage while
running through the store, but he
frightened pedestrians along the side
walks, and they scurried out Of his
path, giving him a wide berth.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DELAWARE'S CAR TAGS
REDUCED IN MARKINGS

DelaWare'S own colorS-Dlue anu
buff-wil reappear on the 1910 mo-
tor vehicle licenses plates, and pleas
ure car tags will be designated by
counties with an alphabetical arrange
ment to include number in series from
10 to 999, according to an announce
ment on Tuesday last by Motor We
hicle Commissioner lack w. Wells
Orders for over $1,000 of the new
plates have been placed.
Pleasure cars for Wilmington will
contain the initial "W" and the first
series will appear as "W-A" from 10
to 999. After that series the next
will be "W-B" containing the same
numbers, following by "W-C" with a
similar arrangement of numbers. The
alphabetical designed tags will con-
tinue as far as necessary to take care
of pleasure cars in Wilmington.
For New Castle county the initials
will be INC" with the letters and num-
erals from 10 to 999 for the "s" and
with the following letters taking 10
to 999 series of numbers. Kent coun-
ty tags will have the letter tx" and
Sussex county will be designated by
as" with the letters and numbers in
series.
This innovation will be confined to
pleasure cars as the number of COM
mercial cars in the State is not large
enough to require such an arrange
ment.
Mr.. Wells said that the plan not to
issue tags of more than three digits
was adopted for several reasons. He
pointed out that the low numbers will
be read more easily and that more
persons will be satisfied with plates
under 1000.
The time honored provision for spet
ial or repeat" numbers is thing Of
the past.
The only persons to whom the same
numbers will be issued, he said, are
the governor, acknowledgement, the
judiciary, members of the Legislature
and similar officials.
Mr.. Wells believes that the new
type tag will aid the police, particular
ly in Wilmington. He said that many
persons going to Wilmington from
other parts of the State are not ia
miliar with Wilmington's traffic reg
ulations and the new license plate viii
prove of assistance to police in hand
ling unintentional violations.
State-owned cars will be marked
estate" and exempt cars will beal
the letter "E". Dealers cars, trail
ers, tractors, and hearses will be sc
marked according to their classified
tions and comercial tags will bear the
abbreviation, "Com."
The new color scheme will contain
a buff background with the letters Of
blue. Highly embossed enamel will
be used. There are approximately TO-.
900 registered motor vehicles in the
State. Under recent legislation 1895
tags will be used until March 81
1910, with the 1910 tags to be used
for the year starting April 1, next.

One OF the experiments the Sth
grade math. class had left to do
from last semester. was finding the
per cent of loss in weight OF bread
or cake during it's baking. The girls
had finished their baking of cakes
so we couldn't work On it then.
Recently. the boys cooking class
made some rolls and Miss Shields
obtained the needed figures.
The patches OF rolls were weighed
before and after baking and, in ey-
cry case, quite a loss was noticed
This figured out TO be an average
loss of Il percent for the three
batchs baked. We attribute this loss
to water driven out of the dough by
the heat of baking.
