SCHNEIDER’S ATTACKS BRITISH NEWS CENSORSHIP London Times in Editorial Today Compares English and German Accounts of Unprecedented Crisis—Scientific Pre paration and Dissemination of Falsehoods London, —The London Times today editorially deals with the British system of censoring news dispatches. It calls attention to the fact that the German government lias always un derstood the value of presenting its own news to the public abroad and says: “Englishmen are apt to regard this kind of propaganda with contempt. They tielieve that truth will prevail over untruth no matter liiw scien tifically falsehood may be spread. In the long run their confidence Is no doubt their confidence is Justified, hut in the present circumstances the prac tice of giving lies too long a start may be attended by serious draw backs. Justifiable Anxiety. “Our government in Its justifiable anxiety to prevent transmission from this country of nevys that might he of assistance to the enemy has estab lished a severe censorship on sll out going telegrams and has thereby nec essarily caused great delay in their transmission. "Constant and well founded com plaints have been made by dozens of Italian and American correspondents of the treatment of their messages. It appears that in some cases these are detained from 12 to 24 and even 48 hours by the British censor. No Time to Be Lost. "No time is to be lost If this re gretable and indeed dangerous situa tion is to he remediel.

Patriotic Duty. "In time of an unprscendentsd crisis the press has a great patriotic duty to perform. Germany Is well aware of the potent influence of the press and uses it to the uttermost. "We commend to attention the fuo simile we published today of a com munication purporting to emanate from a member of the Times staff, a person who has never extsteo. Tills unscrupulous communication has been published In hundreds of newspapers in western America. Innumerable Examples. "We could quote Innumerable ex amples of (lie kind. One reason why Turkey is on the verge of war is that Constantinople is swamped by Ger many with fabrications about alleg ed British and french reverses. An other example we quote shows that the German and Dutch press is now being mobilised for efforts to iletaeli France from the entente. Germany has even approached the Times and other English newspapers, offering for publication Ibe reports of her general staff upon the military ope rations. “Our government has (lone nothing to counteract these activities We have received from Petrograd infinitely more Information than from our own war office.” RECEPTION BY POPE.
