In other words, if a newspaper or
press association does not submit to a
censorship the government will simply
close down on its cable privileges.

statement today:

In the nowspapersi is the deadly peril

This was the warning given by Lord

mission in this country, in an exclusive
interview with the United Press today.

"If the censorship can effect the
saving of a single American life, it is
worth while.
"The present censorship in Great
Britain, about which you Inquire, was
arrived at after more than two years
of experiment and is worthy of consid
eration. Three Classes Of It
"It is roughly divided into three
sections, the most important being the
cable censorship. Then follow in their
respective order, newspaper censorship
anu tne censorsnip or mails.
"These censorships aim primarily at
the suppression of information likely to
neip tne enemy and at the discovery
of information which may be of as
sistance to the allies.
"The cable censorship of private and
commercial messages presents the great
est difficulty.
"It would be easy for a well inform
ed spy to cable to a neutral country, a
few domestic or business phrases con
veying news of priceless value to the
enemy. Spies who have been caught,
tried and shot in England, have usually
been found Jit possession of what ap
pear to be business codes. In one case

"People are much too prone to con

to all eyes and not to consider the pri
vate cable leak, which is the really
deadly one.
' Power to open all overseas mail,
such as is possessed by the British gov
ernment, also is essential.
"Newspaper censorship is a compar
atively simple matter, helped as it is
by the good will of the newspapermen
themselves, who in Great Britain fre
quently help the censor.
"Newspaper censorship in England
is effected through the channel of an
institution known as the press bureau.
The story of its early eccentricities is
best forgotten. It has now, as one of its
heads, Sir E. T. Cook, formerly one
of the leading newspaper editors. All.

He emphasized that "every day lost

Praise Navy's Work. ,
London, July 5-All England rang
today with praises of the exploits of
the American naval convoy to the trans
ports bearing America's first expedi
tionary army to France. As the aver
age Briton saw it, there were two out
standing lessons in the failure of the
American navy to be taken 4y the Ger
man submarine surprise attack.
First, it was held here that the Bub
,,:,. lnuimi'u was thus nroved con
querable with a sufficient number of
destroyers. .
Second, and most important in the
British view, the manifest prepared
ness of the Germans for the troops in
dicates how thoroughly and systematic
ia the Teuton spy system in America. -
Privately, many officials today ex
pressed amazement that the United
States had failed to profit by Eng
land's experiences in this regard. On
all sides todav the greatest anxiety
was expressed "that the United States
had not fully appreciated what it means
to combat the Wilhelmstrasse secret
agents. It was hoped, however, that
this example of German, efficiency in
spying would spur the United States in
to drastic combing out of enemy agents.
from tho boards. Any disposition to
shirk the duties without a exeuse for
resignation will not be tolerated.
Department officials today pointed
out under the law- such members can
be forced to serve. Evasions constitute
a punishable misdemeanor. So far the
number of resignations is far from
alarming.
Although it is still held iu secrecy,
the method of . drawing the "key"
numbers of the draft is practically com
plete today. In a few days it will be
explained in another set of regulations.
