CENSORSHIP STRICT
LONDON, Dec. 7.—The censorship seems to be more!
strict than ever and all the complaints of the people and:
| the members of parliament are apparently passed over
without receiving the least attention. That matters are;
faring favorably for the allied forces is believed and this!
I belief causes all the greater dis-satisfaction with those i
who are hiding the news. Th capture of Lodz by the Ger
mans has created the belief that the enemy is faring bet
ter than had been reported in the eastern theater but there
;s really nothing definite to form an opinion on.
WILSON IS PRUDENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—President Wilson announc
(d today that he is opposed to the plan of Representative
Gardner for the investigation of the preparedness of the
United States for war. Mr. Wilson gave it as his reason
that any such action now might create a very unfavorable
impression throughout the world. After a conference |
with the president Gardner declared that he will continue
to press his resolution calling for an investigation of the
country’s strength for national defense.
BORDEAUX, Dec. 7.—How to find something for the j
German prisoners of war to do, is a question which is pre- j
occupying the French Government. There are now about i
100,000 men interned in various towns in Southern and |
Western France. Many of them belong to some skilled
trade, but to employ them at their own craft would ag
gravate the situation of French unemployed and give rise
to protests from trade unions.
It has been decided to use a large number of prisoners,
as dock laborers in various ports, loading and unloading
ships of commerce, in place of local men serving with the
army. After the cost of their keep has been deducted,
they will be given what they earn to buy tobacco and other
small comforts.
CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 7.—Aroused by the published im
putation that Norway is engaged in smuggling petroleum
in to Germany, the Government Census Bureau has pre
pared figures showing that the imports of this commodity
during August and September of this year fell far below
corresponding months in other years.
According to this statement the imports of petroleum
during August and September were (5,172 tons against
25,600 for the same months in 1913, 13,800 tons in 1912,
! 20,500 tons in 1911 and 7,700 tons in 1910.
The marked falling off in imports during August and
i September was explained by the fact that heavier imports
during the first seven months had left the country with a
! good supply on hand, with a slackening demand upon the
approaching winter._______
