GERMAN CENSORSHIP ARRAIGNED.

Press Association—Copyright, Australian an(| N.Z. Cable Association. New York, July 23.

The New York Times publishes an article by Max. Harden bitterly arraigning the German censorship, and complaining of the authorities suppression of the strong desire of the people of Germany for peace. The Sunday papers publish several striking cartoops indicative of American opinion that the Central Powers are being hopelessly beaten. Newspaper headlines reflect similar opinions.

I An American cartoon, “Squeezing Him,’’ shows the Kaiser in the grip of the laws representing the Eastern and 'Western fronts, the muscular arms .of the Allies turning the screw. The/ Times, in a full page, powerful picture, entitled, “A Great Dream,” depicts a phantom, triumphal march, wherein a skeleton Kaiser in armor rides astride a shadow horse. Another cartoon, “Anniversary of the Great Mistake,” shows a dejected Franz Joseph reading the news of the Austrian retreats, and recalling the ultimatum to Servia as he gazes on the open calendar of July 23. New York, July 21. The New York newspaper, the American, says the British black list puts the United States in the enemy class, and urges President Wilson to resort to reprisals against Britain. The New York World says the attempt to terrorise neutrals, amounting to a declaration of commercial warfare against the United States, may ho the forerunner of the boycott discussed at the Paris Conferenc.

The Tribune says Britain should not attempt to prevent American vessels from carrying boycotted linns’ goods to neutrals. The proclamation is impolitic and a challenge to the United States. Britain should withdraw her foolish and futile black list.
