Quality Job Printing at Reasonable c,\> Established 1899 SI! BRITISH CENSOR IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR English Editors Complain Con stantly That He Discriminates Between Papers. London, April 26.—The vaga ries of the British censorship have long ceased to be regarded as an outrage, as they were at first considered, and have even fallen from the position next as signed to them of being a bad joke that had to be endured. But one or two recent preformances are worthy of being rescued from oblivion. Accounts of Brit ish operations in the Dardanelles which were printed in the Italian newspapers were telegraphed this week to the Morning Post in London. The censor, however, refused to sanction their publi cation. As the Morning Post points oat, if an item of news appears in the Italian press it is to be as sumed that the Germans have i'uil information through the Ger man ambassador in Italy. The Italian newspapers themselves penetrate into Germany. The only object, therefore, that the British censor can have in sup pressing the news in question was to prevent it reaching the British public. The Post does not disguise what it considers to be the reaaon why the censor ship did not wish this news to leach the public. "It is not," it says, "in the na ture of a staggering disaster which might dismay the nation, but merely that sort- of reverse, sad in itself but not of great magnitude, which must be ex pected in the major operations of war." Here again is the charge so frequently made against the cen sorship that it insists whenever it can upon suppressing any news ■that is not favorable to the Brit ish arms, while it consistently exaggerates that which is favor able. The day before yesterday the military expert of the Daily News naturally took Sir John French's despatch, which ap peared in the paper that morn ins: as his theme. Every quo tation he made, from the des patch was carefully crossed out by the censor. To quote the Daily News; "When our mili tary critic says the Germans were able to 'enfilade the fourth corps moving toward Aubers' the solemn censor runs his pen cil through the terrible words, apparently ignorant of the fact that is the British commander he is censoring, and so when our military correspondent mentions the reserve brigade of the fourth orps and in parenthesis says 'the 21st, 22nd and 24th' the cen sor again strikes out the details, although the information is all in Sir John French's report. What can one say of these things? They are not done in sleep, for when the gentleman was rung up on the telephone for an ex planation of his performances he sent word declining such an in dignity. He was probably busy running his pencil industriously through other statements of the British commander.'' Some day 3 ago a provincial newspaper man telegraphed a number of London papers to the effect that seme obstruction had been struck by a torpedo boat, naming the precise locality and associating with it the sinking of the U 29. A number of de tails were given which the ad miralty considered indiscreet tnd likely to be of service to the ene my. The local reporter was summoned and fined £5 ($25). He pleaded in defense that he relied on the censorship of Lon don to strike out anything ob jectionable, and that ha was ig norant of the regulations issued to the press by the censor. A provincial newspaper pub lished a similar - report and its editor was fined £lO (SSO). This editor in hi 3 defense quoted from a Lond m evening paper an THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT account of the sinking of a sub marine which was much more definite in character and yet had been allowed to pass unnoticed by the censor. This discrimination by the cen sor between journal and journal is a constant cause of complaint. It may be done unwittingly but it is annoying just the same. Some days ago all the evening pacers in London printed a news agency telegram from New York saying that a full page appeal to the American people had appear ed in the American press, but the space was left blank which should have told the subject of the appeal. The next morning one of the morning papers was allowed to say that the appeal was against the export of muni tions of war. The question was naturally asked why one morn ing paper should be allowed to tell its readers what no evening paper permitted to tell. There was also considerable wonder as to what advantage it! could be to the enemy for this piece cf news to be kept from the knowledge of the English people, or even from the enemy himself, who would, however, be sure to know it pretty well as soon as the English press. Women Cannot Be Notaries Raleigh, May 25. —The su preme court holds the woman notary act of the recent legisla ture unconstitutional in State vs Knight from Buncombe. The opinion was delivered final batch today along with adjourn ment for the term. Chief Justice Clark filed a lengthy dissenting opinion, in sisting the act should be sustain ed. Justice Brown concurring. The controlling opinion was writ ten by Justice Allen and holds that women not being voters are ineligible to office; that notary public is a public offi« and the legislature cannot change the status by declaring them ?'posi tions of public trust." If sucn a course was pursued, says the court, some action could be taken as to every other office created by legislature and nDt mentioned in the constitution, and they could be filled by women.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY ARE GETTING AT IT Advance Guards Clash; Italian Adriatic Towns Are Bombarded. Little or no time has been al lowed to elapse between the dec laration of war and actual fight ing between Austria and Italy. Austrian aeroplanes, destroyers and torpedoboats early todav de scended on the Italian coast of the Adriatic and bombarded sev eral towns, including Venice; while in the Tyrol and on the eastern frontier Italian and Aus trian advance guards have fired the first shots. The plan of campaign has not yet been disclosed, but it is gen erally believed attempts to in flict a quick and decisive defeat, or, at least, one that will dis courage the Italians, will be un dertaken, largely by the Ger mans under Field Marshal von Hindenburg. It is said the German troops, with heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppelins, already are passing through the valley of the River Adige in the direction of Verona, and that rapid and fierce blows will be delivered almost im mediately at the Italian center. This, the Germans doubtless be lieve, would serve to hold off an Italian advance from the Prov ince of Venice, where the flat nature of the country would give the Italians a greater chance of success. Throughout Austria and Ger many there is bitter denuncia tion of Italy which for the mo ment has replaced England as the most hated enemy. In the Allied countries on the other hand, Italian intervention is hailed with delight and in the Italian quarters of London and Paris there have been enthusias tic demonstrations and cheering farewells to the Italians leaving to join the colors. Houmania, Greece and Bulgaria have made no move. The Gov ernment of Bulgaria has reitera ted that it will ontinue neutral so long as Bulgarian interests are not directly affected, and it sees no reason why they should be. The opposition, however, is voicing the opinion that Bulgaria should seize the opportunity to join with the Allies. Bulgaria may be drawn in through a question which has arisen with Turkey over the seiz ure by Turkey of a number of Bulgaria railway cars loaded with goods, Sofia has lodged a pre test against this action. Rou mania may be affected by a change of fortune in the battles in middle Galicia. Russia here is delivering a strong counter offensive and has regained some ground along the San north of Jaroslau. The most important battle, however, is that raging south east of Przemysi, where the Austrians and Germans are mak ing repeated attacks in an en deavor to break the Russian line and thus relieve the pressure the Russians are bringing to bear on the Germans who crossed the San. Fighting also is in progress in Courland, along the East Prus sian frontier and in Central Po land, where the Germans have attempted an offensive along the Rawka River. None of these actions apparently has been de cisive, although heavy losses have been suffered on both sides. Russia expresses satisfaction with the situation along her front. Heavv fighting has been resumed in the west from Arras to the sea and both Germans and French claim the advantage. It is evident that the Allies do not intend to relax their efforts on this front, although a big gen eral movement has not yet been undertaken, the present opera tions having as their object im provement in their positions and forcing the G-rmans to counter attacks. » The Allies have landed ad- HI CKORY, N. C., FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1915 ditional troops on the Gallipnli Peninsula and, although progress there must continue slow, there is every confidence here that the resistance of the Turks will be fore long be broken. The lons to the Allies is heavy, as is shown by the casualty lists, but it is as serted that the Turks are suffer ing much more severely, as they are under cross-fire from the ships. Germany Sides wifh Her Ally. Berlin, via London, May 24. No arrangements have been made for the departure of the Italian Ambassador from Germany. The public learned of Italy's declara tion of war with remarkable calmness and today seemed more bent on enjoying Whitsuntide holiday outines thaa worrying about the latest accession to the ranks of Austro-Hungary's ene mies. • Street demonstrations took place late last night and small crowds paraded the streets at an early hour this morning singing patriotic songs and cheering for Austria-Hungary. The paraders attempted to make a demonstra tion before the Italian embassy, but all approaches to the embas sy had been closed by the police. What comment is heard on the situation is not flattering to Italy. Her action in declaring war against her former ally is gener ally regarded by the populace as "political brigandage.'' The av erage German declines to take the Italian military menace seri ously and seems to consider that Italy's onslaught will merely put off the ultimate victory of the Teutonic allies without rendering victory doubtful. In discussions of the official Italian Austrian for the declara tion of war the comment is heard everywhere that it took Italy a long time to find out that the \ treaty of alliance had been vio lated, it being argued that Italy's note on this subject was dated in December and that it required months longer to determine that the violation of the treaty consti tuted a reason for war. Southern Tries Out New Style En gine. Salisbury, May 24.—The South ern Railway Company today tried out between Spencer and Greensboro a new style engine, the only one of its kind. It is known as a "two-in-one," and is really two engines combined. The engine parts of a small en gine are placed under the tender of a large engine and so connec ted up that one engineer can ma nipulate both engines, using one at a time or both as occasion may demand. The trial today was satisfactory, the engine pulling 79 cars, a weight of twenty seyen hundred tons. Tomorrow several hundred tons more will be added. The new combined engine idea originated in the draughtsman department of the Southern at Washington and this first engine was built at Spencer. General Nanager Coapman witnessed the testing today. Engineer John Sprasrer handled the new mon ster. Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable. Rheumatism is a disease character ized by pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheumatic Headache, Sciatic Rheu matism and Lumbago.

An application of Sloan's Lini ment two or three times a day to the affected part will rive instant relief. Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain, because it penetrates to the seat of the trouble, soothes the afflicted part and draws the pain. "Sloan's liniment is all medi cine."

(Continued on Page Two.) Girl Can Eat Again After Sixteen Years. Miss Katherine Besse, of St. years old, for the first time in her memory, has just dined. Since she was two years old she never had taken food in a normal manner, her esophagus having been rendered useless as a result of eating lye. An operation by Dr. Francis W. Kirsch restored her throat and the passage leading to the stom ach to normal. Miss Katherine. when a small child, drank part of a solution of lye which was being used by her mother. The corrosive burned away the membranes of her throat and esophagus and they became closed by the growing together of tissues. in order to save the child's life, an operation was performed to provide an opening through her breast into her stomach. Through this opening she was nourished by food placed direct into her stomach. Being unable to swallow, the girl knew little of the taste of food. She would rinse her mouth with water, or occasionally chew a bit of food for the taste, but she could not swallow it. Apparently, however, the girl was none the worse. In fact, few of her friends knew that she did not eat as others did. Recently Dr. Kirsch under took the feat of clearing the stopped-up passage leading to the stomach, and, using a pliable steel rod, he began probing the throat and esophagus. One at a time the structures in the pas sage were opened, until on Mon day the final steps were taken. An incision was made and the stomach sewed to the end of the long unused esophagus. The old opening was sewed up, and Miss Besse ate for the first time in sixteen year 3. Dr. Kirsch says that for a time Miss Besse must content herself jwith liquid food, but that within a month or so she will be able to | eat whatever she desires.
