(Hy Mail) Ambas sador (ierai'd has sent sixteen notes to the foreign office since the beginning tf the war, protesting against the cen soring of Knibassy mail at the (ionium border by the military authorities. Ac companying each protest was from five to twenty envelops bearing the mark of the military censor showing that the letters were opened under "the rights of war." These instniiiMW do not refer to tho official sealed pouches of the American government, but only to general cor respondence to the embassy from the United States and other countries. This has applied particularly tii the Ambas sador's personal mail from the 1'nited Htntes. The notes were written on the thoory that the mail of a neutrul am bassador or embassy is not subject to censorship even in war time. No officinl explanation ever has been made, of the opening of the ambassa dor's mail, but it is believed this mail, entering (lennany with all oilier mail, is opened by Ihe censor, who opens everything he gets his hands on. The official mail of the raited Slates travels by courier. Once every week a courier comes from London to lloiliu with a pouch forwurdcl from Washing ton. Once every week he returns to lionilnn with n pouch frni Ocrnmnv. Those pouches are securely scaled and HO fnr no official pouch has boon opened Kv the German authorities ami no leg tilar courier has been interrupted. The couriers declare that (lemma, Knglanil nnd Hutch officials do everything p dihle to assist him in their monotonous task of traveling by. the fastest route vcry week to and from London and Berlin. ' So far as the American Knibassy in Berlin knows official document have been tampered with but once and that was r board an English liner enronte from Liverpool to the 1'nited States, lu a pouch from (Jermany one of the military attaches was sending a secret report to the Navy Pepartnient at Washington concerning (lermnny's eroplnnes. This report wni denied in Berlin and reached linden in tin! mine FAREWELL ROMANCE. By James J. Montague.

Week in and week out, many person al letters from the Vnited States to Americana in Germany filter through bearing no evidence that they were opened ly- Gorman censors. Often, though one will receive letters with stamps in two or three places showing they were handled by more than one censor. All mail leaving Germany, however, is subject to the most careful examina tion. New rules which reccnlly went into effect, provide that picture post cards, especially postcards of public buildings, cnaaot be sent outside (ler- ninny. Spies have boon using this .means of coinniliiiicating with their allies in neutral countries. Another new provision is that1, envelops lined .with thin tissue Miner cannot bo used J to send letters outside of .Germany be-l cause spies can too easily hide sonio-j thing between the envelope and the tis sue lining. Thus one can see why mail I i censors have developed a prodigious; I ability to pry into letters and postcards j of all kinds, no matter what tho origin or destination. j ALLIES REDUCE GERMAN I i MERCHANT MARINE 800,000 TONS London, Jan.
