ITALIANS NOW
PRESS
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL
IAN ARMY. June 30. — (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)—The
Italian censorship has been reorgan
I ized and vastly Improved, particular
ly from a newspaper point of view.
Little censorship is now exercised
over mall matter coming from or go
ing to ally countries, such as France
or England, but every mailed letter or
package going to or coming from the
ttnlted States and Switzerland is
opened and read. The censors, how
ever, are sometimes courteous enough
to notify a person sending suspected
matter that It Is being held for ex
planation. In the case of cable mes
sages, the censor tries his best to
let them go through, either holding
the message for a time before sending
It, or else cutting out objectionable
Information, sending the message In
the new form, and then notifying the
sender what portions have been eli
minated.
One of the reasons for the more fav
orable attitude of the Italian censor
ship Is an abatement of the spy mania
and the realization that this class of
information is not as harmful as was
formerly supposed.
Another reason has been the Influ
ence of certain officers, patriotic Jour
nalists and business men, who feel
that Italy has not been fully under
stood In this war and that correspon
dence both of private individuals and
newspaper men visiting or living in
the country would, if not too severely
censored, let the outside world know
the truth about conditions and the
reasons for Italy's war.
A direct result of this attitude has
been the establishment recently at
'the headquarters of the army of a
press bureau. One of the first steps
taken by the officers in charge was
to secure permission for both ally and
neutral journalists to visit the army
front and see the fruits of Italy's ef
fort to organize a splendid new army.
Previous to the existence of this bu
reau but very few civilians had been
allowed on the Italian front. The im
pression had gotten abroad that Italy
did not want her front visited, and
therefore no requests to visit it had
been made, particularly by neutralB.
The visitors at present admitted on
the front, once the officers of the
press bureau had satisfied themselves
these visitors are without unfriendly
Intentions, are shown fully and freely
all that they wish to see. In the hand
ling of newspaper copy written from
the front, the largest latitude is per
mitted the writers. Restrictions about
naming geographical locations are cast
aside, since it is evident that the Aus
trians have military maps of the re
gion, and as they are within speaking
distance of the Italian soldiers for
nearly every foot of the four hundred
nf front, it would be difficult
to hide from them the names of the
rivers and mountains and towns along
the front.
The press bureau, although not long
formed, has already Justified itself,
it is stated, in the better understand
ing by France and England of the ter
rific difficulties under which the Ital
ian army works in mountainous ter
ritory, where it takes weeks to move
large bodies of troops of put artillery
into new positions, and where the tak
ing of a single mountain involves the
patient effort and staunch heroism of
months of hard fighting.
The numbers frequently referred to
in official military bulletins, in con
nection with operations at places the
names of which are not mentioned,
has given rise to the popular impres
sion that the number is used, in order
to withhold exact information as to
the geography of the operations.
As a matter of fact, and particu
lurly in mountain operations, the use
of a number conveys the most exact
and accurate Information. Every hill
top and mountain in Europe has Ions
been identified by a number. Thlf
number is not an arbitrary one. It h
the exact height In meters—(one me
ter is 39.37 inches)—of the hilltop or
mountain above the sea level. As nc
such hilltops or mountains have th*
: same height, the numbers are nevei
i the same, at least in the same rang*
| of mountains, and they differ so ai
j to indicate the heights of dirferen
j sections of the side of the same moun
: tain. While these numbers are of th<
j utmost importance in military opera
tions, inasmuch as they lndicat
: heights and distances in particular b
ji artillery officers, they have been loni
•: determined by other than the gee
j: graphical branch of the general staff
ij of armies. They are found in ever:

GERMANS MADE
TO DO WITH
LESSBEER
BERLIN, June 15. — (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) — War,
which has worked so many changes
In the habits of the Germans, has now
conspired with warm weather to Induce
the Germans to drink "soft drinks.”
Bottles of lemon sour, ginger ale,
cream soda and other beverages In
eluded under the generic name of
“pop” in the United States are begin
ning to make their appearance on
shelves and liars formerly devoted to
beer, and the thirsty people are drink
ing them, not from choice, but be
cause they have to.
It is no longer possible to make
enough beer to meet even fairly mod
est demands of the reduced home
population. The majority of the
larger beer gardens will not be opened
at all this summer, and for some
weeks it has been no unusual thing
to find some of Berlin's biggest res
taurants and beer halls without a
drop of beer early In the evening of
warm days. The sale of beer to
households in containers charged with
carbonic acid gas has been discon
tinued, and only favored old custom
ers can still get bottled beer.
Bavaria, the greatest beer drinking
country of the world, where many a
solid citizen normally drinks one to
two gallons daily, and where the great
beer halls are filled at almost all
hours of the day, is in a still worse
plight. The time in which beer may
be sold has been steadily shortened,
and now there has come an order per
mitting saloons, beer halls, etc., to
soil beer only from 10 to 12, 2 to 4
and after 9 o’clock at night. Excep
tions are made in the case of beer dis
pensed in factories to their workers,
and by farmers to their help. No
beer whatever may be sold locally
until after the wants of the Bavarian
soldiers have been supplied.
The scarcity is, of course, due to
t>o fact that the empire has had in
limit strictly the amount of barley
which can be turned into malt. Thisy
amount has been fixed at 50 per cent
of the normal amount, but brewers
interviewed by the Associated Press
correspondent said they were not able
to obtain even this amount. An un
foreseen inroad has further been made
into the available amount of barley
by the fact that the shortage of cof
fee has required the roasting of great
quantities of barley as a substitute.
The government has granted the
brewers permission to malt in the
'second (current) quarter of the year
-- —
the full quota of barley allowed them
for the third quarter. This will rob
hot summer days of gome of their
terror, but even at best, the supply
will be utterly Inadequate.
-:o:
Men who have visited the workings
of Klngdahl & Company on Cleary
creek, In the Fairbanks district, are
authority fo rthe statement that the
richest pay ever known to exist on old
deary, even In her palmiest days. Is
now being mined there. In fact. It
Is stated that It Is no trouble at all to
get pans running from $5 to $25 any
where in the drift. It Is therefore ex
pected that the operators will take
out something like $100,000 during1
the mining season.
