MODIFIES CENSORSHIP RULER. ?Oner lean Government to Reduce Stringency. Washington. Aug. 21.?Secretary Hryan virtually has decided to what extent the Fnited States government shull endeavor to enforce neutrality at cable offices and wireless stations in the Jurisdiction of this country. No censorship on cnbles and modili catlon of the present strict super? vision of wireless Is contemplated In a plnn to be submitted tomorrow by Secretary llryan to Ilaniel von llaim hause, Oermnn charge d'affaires. Should tho German government ap? prove the new suggestion It will be promptly put Into effect. The plan would permi* the sending of code messages at the Sayvllle, L. I., wireless station by tho German government or any other government, hut an American naval officer would l>e retained In charge to prohibit un neutrul messages. Since the order prohibiting code rncHMugcs of till kinds from leaving the const wireless stations, the Ger mun government has lost its cable to the United States. It has found Itself Isolated from the world and protested against the embargo. In wrestling with the question olllclals ami Inter? national lawyers hnve been trying to find a solution that would give Ger-1 many a means of communication on a parity with Kngland, which has had uninterrupted cable communication from the United States. At first It was contended and virtually decided that the American government should apply equal censoiship on cables and wireless. The point was debated in cabinet council, however, and the con? clusion wtis reached that the cable did not stand in the same relation to the wireless. It was realised, how? ever, that to censor cables would mean a stupendous undertaking nnd could not Interfere with England's oable communication through Can? ada. England protested also against a possible censoring Of the cable, claim.ng that Germany could cut the cables at sea. It was finally deter? mined that the United States protect Itself against the unneutral use of wireless stations and there was no physical means for belligerents to in? terfere with wireless mesages when onco, sent from a neutral station. It was learned tonight that |h* new plan would atYect only the Sayvllle station, which is German-owned. The other powerful station at Tuckerton. N. J., Is not operating because It til discovered that It had no license from this government in accordance with commercial regulations. Whether such a license will be granted now Is a matter of conjecture. An I'liusiiul Character.
