London, Aug. L (By Mall) "The
censor is not the damn fool you take
him to be." The above line was pen
red by a British censor upon a let
ter from an officer at the front to his
wife, in which an ingenious code was
discovered. It meant to disclose t
ti anxious wife Just where her hus
band was fighting, but it was spoiled
by the censor and an order was is
sued by the war office prohibiting
such practices. y i. ;
Before the officer who wrote the
tedp letter, left for the front, he se
cured two maps showing the entire
British fighting line. The maps were
identical. One he left with.his wife
and the other he took with him.
Thereafter, each time he wrote a
lutter, he placed the stationery onJ
hi map, stuck a pin through it di
rectly oyer Paris, another darecitiy
ever Brussels, and a third at the
point where he was atstionei. Uprn
receiving the letter, his wife would
superimpose it on her map, adjust

there has been no evidence of. any, mpyement commen
