Copying the example of Dr Rudolf Kircher, editor of the Frankfurter Zeitung, who habitually directs the printing of official "hand-outs" in his newspaper from as far away as Rome, Dr Silex, editor of the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," is now doing the same from a warship. Dr Silex, formerly a naval officer, and afterwards his paper's correspondent in London, has latterly been one of the chief protagonists of “horror stories" against British troops in Palestine. A leading article written from "On Board" describes the knightly manner in which the German navy conducts itself towards neutral vessels.
