An interesting description of what is called the Censor's Museum
was published in the Times of Tuesday. The exhibits are all things stopped on their way to enemy countries. There are, for instance, carefully rolled newspapers which are found to contain ham, rubber, rice, tobacco, and so forth. The ends of the rolls are plugs of paper and wood. Many parcels have duplicate covers, the outer one bearing an address in a neutral country, and the inner one a German or Austrian address which was the ultimate destination is the continuous voyage of such parcels. There are two iron crmses sent to friends by the German manufacturer. The donor says in his letter that if people ask how the crosses were earned the wearers can say they were won in 1870. It is too bad to make 1870 crosses as cheap as those of to-day. All these things are only held up temporarily. They will reach their destination when the war is over—except, let us hope, the sausages and other perishables.
