The minister provoked a violent outbufst from the socialists WASHINGTON, June 20. Official announcement was made yesterday by the censorship board that the United States postal censorship would be discontinued at the close of busi ness next Saturday. England, officials here understood, has ordered mail censorship discon tinued, effective June 21, the same date as that selected for the cessation of the American system.

The American censorship, which had been lifted previously in part, has been conducted by a special board created by executive order, in ac cordance with provision made in the act banning trading with the enemy. By CARL D. GROAT (United Press Staff Correspondent.) BERLIN. (By Mail.) Germany hasn't .altogether lost her dream of military conquest. Or, perhaps, it is more accurate to say that some per sons within Germany still cherish hopes for the regeneration of mili tarism. A few ambitious men are anxious to have Germany build up.her youth j through physical training in the schools, jo that some day when the present war is well in the background and peace is years old, Germany can build a new military machine. To say this is a general hope would be far from the truth. The common people don't want any more war. Some of them frankly say they had enough of it the first day they were in it. - And there are plenty who now say that the kaiser misled them, and that the military crowd betrayed them. Certain it is that the liberals feel that there was much blindness about the causes of the war, and the rea sons for continuing it. Germany was fed on patriotic propaganda for a long time and with successes came a lust for more victories and more ter ritory. But reverses and the final glimmerings of the truth as to the kaiser and militarism converted many Germans from the policies of iron and blood. True, there was from the time of the armistice to the time of presenta tion of the peace terms of the "old guard" in. power. And some of these felt that there was a chance for Ger many to , "come back." To them the allied peace terms, proved the great est shock, though everywhere there was surprise that the victors' terms proved as strong as they did. The liberals complained that Ger many clung too much to the things of the past that too many men with kaiser affiliations stayed on after the republic was formed. And, strange to say, the flag of the empire up to this writing has been more in evi dence than the flag of the republic. In fact, in the demonstrations of May 18, an American here for sev eral months, declared that he had stm the republican colors for the first time. An example of how Germany has persisted in the things of the past is illustrated in its publicity. Here, there is still "prop'aganca" and con siderable figuring as to whether this or that piece of news will be favor able to Germany when it goes abroad. The first day that this writer con versed with a German official he was asked as to whether certain bits of information would be kindly received in America. And so it goes. Many believe, however, that after all a new deal is about to come in Germany which shall make her more truly liberal than she nas been in recent years. As for militarism, no body seriously believes that it can rear its head for years to come if ever. Methodists Open Great Exposition COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 20. (By United Press.)

Hun Reds Attempt To Kidnap Ebert WEIMAR, June 19. Fifty Spar tacan and communist prisoners re cently released from the Weimar jail, shortly after midnight this morning attacked the castle where the mem bers of the government live. They were repulsed by a lone guard, who stood by a machine gun until he had driven off the mob. The attacking party made a sur prise descent upon the castle and dis armed the guards at the entrance. They indulged in firing through the windows, however, and this aroused the castle troops. It was apparently the intention of the party to seize President Ebert. Premier Scheidemann and Gustav Noske, the minister of defense. But they were foiled through their pre mature shots, revepling the attack to the tro(ps within the building. A semi-official statement from Ber in today gives the following account of Lst night's disorders at Weimar: "At Weimar last night 60 military ininuiuMs ana a lew criminals es caped from prison and disarmed the military guard. A fur.ilade ensued in the neighborhood of the castle, several being wounded. The plan made to force a w.-.y into the castle failed.
