eonta unsratlusl through the Ions rav-
olutionarjr period lit Mexico, acconllnr
to Marlin Sargus, who has arrived
here from the southern psirt o f thei
country.
H e says he recently visited
Cuernavaca and went out to an i n
d e n t sugar mill cooatruatsd in t«B5
by Hernando Cortex, the Spanish con
queror o f Mexico, who personally su
perintended the inffi and the adjacent
•ugur plantation.
This was the he-
gtnnlng o f the .sugar industry on this
continent.
“ That this sugar mill was hoilt and
run by Cortex there Is not the sMght-
est doubt,” Mr. Sargua said. “ Its his
tory Is set forth In the early records
of Spanish occupation o f Mexico, anil
the traditions o f the natives confirm
It. The mill Is in good condition, and
had recently finished a ‘run’ of sev
eral weeks on last season's crop o f
sugar cane.
“ In
the
pre-revolutionary
days
many tourists visited the little pu
eblo o f Atlacomulro, where the mill Is
located.
The village is primitive
and full o f Interest. The mill build
ing Is o f stone and sun-dried bricks.
When one thinks that It was built
■early a century before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock
the antiquity o f the structure may
be comprehended.
“ At one end o f the low building Is
an altar where Coriez. on occasions.
Is said to have paid his religious de
votions.
It Is still a sacred spot In
the minds o f the natives, who live in
huts around the mill.
“ It was at Cuernavaca that the ill-
fated Emperor Maximilian made his
summer home.
I'pon his table, ac
cording to tradition, was
served
sugar from the old Cortex mill.“

That occupation isn't all play and
living In Rhine castles, hut involves
plenty o f hard work. Is typically Indi
cated by some statistics o f our mill- i
tary censorship, which In turn Is only
one o f the numerous activities o f 0-2
section o f the Third army, functioning 1
unostentatiously hut effectively under
the direction o f Col. R. H. Williams, ;
chief o f military Intelligence o f the
army o f occupation. This Interesting |
department alone employs the services
o f M officers, 15 field clerks and 2f>8
clerks, while Colonel Williams expects
that at least 200 men more will he
needed In order to achieve the ideal of
thoroughness.
The work o f our military censorship
In keeping a prudent watch on the
mall, telegraph and telephone when
used by the German population has
reached mammoth proportions only ,
because o f our brond-rainded. liberal
policy toward the Germans. Not mo
tivated by altruism, but by common-
sense economic rvnsoning. the Am eri
can military policy has from the very
start been, and continues to be, to
grant the natives the utmost limit of
liberty o f comnftnicatlon consistent
with our naturally supreme military
Interests.
Allowed Notable Freedom.
The basic idea o f our military
forrautators o f policy has been that
the less the Germans are hampered
to the free use o f the mails, telegraph
and telephone and. in consequence, the
less they are economically shackled,
the better will be the economic life ol
the American occupied area and the
greater will be the ebanqe for every
German In It to earn an honest living
It Is not I q our best military Inter
est to have the economic life o f this
American oasis In Germany throttled,
nor to wake up some fine morning
with a pauper population on out
hands. The healthier the economic
life o f the area, the more «inoothly
will our occupation function.
The practical result o f this general
policy Is that the German- In out
sera o f occupation enjoy a freedom In
the use o f the mails, telegraph and
telephone to a degree not enjoyed by
their fellow Teutons In either th«
French. British or Belgian areas.
Germans In our area may send let
ters, including registered mail and '
special delivery letters, also parcel*
post matter, to unoccupied Germany
as well as to the French. British and
Belgian occupied areas.
Similarly
Germans In our area may receive mail
m atter from unoccupied Germany and
the other occupied areas.
They may aend telegrams to unoc
cupied Germany and the other occu
pled arena, and may likewise receive
telegrams from unoccupied Germany
and the other unoccupied areas.
Most liberal o f alt. Germans In th*
American area may communicate by
telephone with unoccupied Germany
and the other unoccupied areas.
The simple common-tense general
rule o f our military censorship merely
bans everything detrimental to out
Interests or those o f our alllee. I f they
mind their own business and don’t at
tempt to violate this simple, reason
able rule, Genoans In the American
area may go as far a* they like In the
use o f the mails, telegraph and tele
phone.
Our military censorship la oo the
Job twenty-four hours o f the twenty-
four. and “ M ilitary Intelligence." un
der the direction o f Colonel Williams,
watches like i d unemotional hawk to
aee that do Teuton gets away with
anything againat the Interests of
America and the allies; but beyond
this the square deal spirit o f Justice
end tolerance which animates the
American brand o f occupation crops
out In the m ilitary censorship In a
very human way— paradoxically, too,
since
censors are
not
generally
credited with being human. Our com
petent military authorities are proud
not on ly-of the fact that the censor
ship Is effective In safeguarding our
legitimate Interests, hut that It does SO
with the Irreducible minimum o f delay
and hardship to the Germans I f they
don'» attempt to abuse our square-deal
policy.
Long Distance Rhone.
Moat interesting, perhaps, la the
long distance telephone proposition.
Germans In Coblenz today can talk
