■ Under The Camouflage
INTIMATE WAR EXPERIENCES AND
OBSERVATIONS OF
LOWELL MELLET
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, Jan. 29 (by mail).—If
George Creel, or whoever has the
picking, hasn’t picked a chief naval
censor yet, here are the specifications:
A man who looks as Lord Fisher
would have looked if he had turned
j out handsome instead of the way he
| did; if his nose hadn’t turned up so
far and his mouth down so far; if he
had found it easier to smile than to
scowl and easy enough to do either as
circumstances required; if the wind
on the sea had put an English blush
1 in his cheeks without dimming the
| sharp blue of his eyes. That would be
| a man like Commodore Sir Douglas
I Brownrigg, who keeps the lid on
I British naval secrets as well as it is
| possible to do so—which by the vote
1 of American correspondents is suffi
| ciently well.
| It probably won't be possible in
| America to find a man so facially
| adapted to work as Sir Douglas is.
| When I met him today in the musty
| old part of the Admiralty building
| where he has his office, he looked as
| though he had just finished eating one
| American journalistic missionary and
| was hungry for another. But appear
| ances do deceive. He was very gentle
2 and kind. It was meatless Friday and
| he had been lunching, he said, on a
| fascinating work of fiction.
i “It is an excellent book,” he said,
| “but it never will see the light of
= publication. The author writes too
| well.”
| “Too well?”
j “Too convincingly. He’s got one
I chapter describing the shooting of
I some German prisoners—they de
1 served to be shot, according to the
I story—down in the dark cellars of
§
1 London Towetr. 'It really wouldn’t
I be bad propaganda in Germany per
il haps. It might be a warning to a
- certain, well known type of our es
teemed enemy. But it’s written too
convincingly. You couldn’t persuade
Germans who read It that it is pure
fiction And that might be bad foi
British prisoners in Germany.”
This led the chief censor to discuss
some of the things he has to thinl
about. He recalled various isolatec
and apparently insignificant little
news stories that it had been fount
necessary to suppress. Each by itsel
was harmless. But some of then
pieced together and added to othe:
bits of information already obtainei
by German intelligence officers woult
give them information they undoubt
edly were working hard to get. Earlie
in the war the British intelligence of
ficers had found the German provin
cial papers, little inconsequentia
news sheets, a most fertile field o
exploration for just this reason.
“So,” he said, “we have to kii
many a story harmless enough of itsel
and written in the best of faith.”
He explained the workings of th
naval censorship. A striking featur
of it is the smallness of the stafl
Nine officers working at the pres
bureau and something less than tha
in Sir Douglas’ own office handle pra<
tically all the work. Asked if tha
didn’t result in the staff being swaini
ed and in delaying publication of new
until it wasn’t news, he said that th
contrary is the case. The day stal
cleans up all its work during Its ow
hours and the night staff does th
same. Only in rare instances wher
it is necessary to place some highl
technical question before the prope
authority and this authority is not in
mediately available, do they fail to gi
the censoring done in time for publici
tion in the edition intended.
In matters of policy Sir Douglas lie
practically the last word. He has o
cupied his present post from the b
ginning of the war through the su
cessive administrations of Princ
Louis of Battenburg and the othei
on down to the present. All these li
has known intimately for years and
as censor has known their views and
their desires. Wherefore he has been
in position to expedite matters for the
press. And that he says he considers
one of the most important features of
his job.
Just how important Sir Douglas con
siders the needs of the press his secre
tary indicated to me. The chief, the
secretary said, works three nights a ’
week till midnight. In the first months 1
of the war he worked that late prac- j
tically every night and often much
later.
I asked him about this. He dis
claimed an excess of zeal, reminding
me that there is a war on and adding.
1 “With some of these first lords the
best time to get at them is half past
one in the morning, and if they can
1 work that late, 1 can.”
Which puts a different light qp the
' “stupidity of the censorship.” I’ll have
1 to think it over.

f LINCOLN, Neb., March 23.—Hun
dreds of men in Nebraska who have
voted for years are claiming exemp
tion from military service on the
ground that they are alien enemies.
3: Under a law to pe initiated by the
1 state council of defense, Nebraska will
soon change her election laws so
1 "alien enemies" or even just plain
“aliens" cannot vote and help make
s
the law's.
In Scottsbluff county, Nebraska, 736
registrants under the draft law, all of
1 whom have been voting under the
state law which gives them the ballot
° on the strength of their first papers,
V or declaration of intention, claimed
r
exemption.
In some school districts in this
1 state it has been discovered that the
German parochial schools entirely
crowded out the public schools, and
8 In some of these German schools every
bit of the instruction was in the Ger
man language.
