Newspaper Page TextM THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1914. - "I i. ENGLAND CENSORS PRIVATE LETTERS Messages Received Here by Relatives of Britons at Front Are Biacked Out. NEWS OF TROOPS ERASED (Territorials Assembled Cautiously, Many Steps Taken to Hide Move ments Keports of Happen ings Barred, Bmym Writer. Letters to Portland resident? from relatives with the British forces in France are being recelved'censored by "His Majesty's censor." laree sections of letters being: blacked out completely. This seems to have been done wherever the letters indicated the exact situa tions of British troops. The Territorials were called out Aug ust 4. is related in a letter received here. At midnight of the same day every Territorial was ordered by tele graph to report to the colorE at cer tain specified places, moat of them at leading British ports. Detailliiff Kept Secret. Arrived at their destinations, instead of being; under canvas all officers and men were billeted at hotels. The loca tions to which they were then drafted were kept secret from the general public. Officers and men who were able to ride or drive motorcycles and power vehicles were instructed to commandeer them, giving a receipt for them, which the government will honor later at par value. It was announced. Territorials were given lists of the registration numbers of motorcycles and instructed to find the owners and commandeer the machines for the government. All pri vate stocks of gasoline and petrol, even o small as five gallons, were seized. Motor Uellvery Halts. Practically all motor delivery has ceased, letters say. Firms with horses re allowed to continue with them, so long as they are listed at the nearest barracks. "In general." writes one young Terri torial, "we can say confidently that the Territorials are 65 per cent efficient. Our men at Bisley in 60 per cent of cases defeated the regulars at all ranges up to 1500 yards. "The unknown quantity Is that we have not been under fire. Soldiers In tor Fight. "Of course, in the open we could not compare with German regulars. Behind entrenchments we can. Any man who knows conditions cannot but look on the war with disfavor, but as we were forced Into it and did everything In our power to stave it off, we are in to stay. "Thank God, there is no jingoism, no song-singing, but, by Jove, the fellows mean business. "The war office is doing the best thing in suppressing the most favor able news for fear of getting our fel lows over-confident. For Instance, two German submarines made their way Into the Mersey, probably with the in tention of torpedoing the Mauretania or some of the other big liners. Just what happened has been kept dark, but Beaforth evidently sighted their peri scopes, for they sniped them both. The crew was Just blown to pieces, and I think the gunners must have exploded their torpedoes. Two Vessels Reported Sonk. "On the quiet it is said at mess that a German tramp dying the Red Ensign (the British maritime flag) was caught laying mines in the Irish Sea. I think she was rammed by another tramp, running to the Isle of Man, and both vessels sank. Anyway, the boats to the Isle of Man were withdrawn this morn ing. "If you want my views on things. It Is just this: If the Russian army Is paper and not men and guns, we have real cause for worry. If the bear full nils his promise of real men. real guns, real bullets and powder and less talk and sand the old Kaiser will be sound ly trounced. "One thing we have reason to be proud of Is that good old K. of K (Kitchener of Khartoum) is on the Job. He's no 'nut.' "Of course, we shall be all right for food. We court-martial immediately food supply gamblers and shops trying to prey on th people." tired. Is at the Benson from Washing ton, D. C. A. J. Stoper, of Calgary, Alberta, is at tbe Carlton.

Although James Convill has been se lected as Park Superintendent to take ttie place of E. T. Mlsche. who Is to retire from the head of the park de partment upon his return from an Eastern trip, permanent anointment to the position, it Is said, will have to be made from a list of ellgibles after competitive. Civil Service examination. This action Is necessary owing to the voting down a year ago of a proposed charter amendment exempting the po sition of Park Superintendent from civil service Jurisdiction. Mr. Mlsche was under civil service although he did not take an examina tion, having been in the service for a term of years which City Attorney La Roche held was sufficient to entitle him to a position under qfvil service without examination. Mr. Convill. who Is not under Civil Service. Is serving under a temporary appointment. Although It is known that there had been differences between Mr. Mlsche and Commissioner Brewster before Mr. Mlsche's retirement it Is denied by Mr. Brewster that politics played any part in the transactions. "It has been reported that the fact that I had Information that Mr. Mische was a supporter of the recall move ment was one of the causes of the change In the service," said Mr. Brew ster. This I deny. The change was made for business reasons and noth ing else." PERS0IIAL MENTION. H. W, Stoper, of Astoria, Is at the Carlton. A. J. Baker, of Eugene, is at the Seward. C. S.
