FRANCE CENSORS NEWS

Dispatches Filed by American News
paper Men are Being Cut Ee
fore Cabled to U. S.
Paris. Jan. 17. Premier Clemen
ceau. in the Chamber of Deputies, to
day gave a warning against false
reports concerning the peace confer
ence. "I saw yesterday a telegram ad
dressed to the New York Tribune."'
he said, "in which it was said that
President Wilson had threatened to
withdraw all hia troops and himself
retire if certain stipulations cf his
were not granted. When I showed
this telegram to Mr. Wilson this
morning he replied to me: 'What an
abominable falsehood.' "
New York. Jan. 17. When the
foregoing dispatch was shown today
to Garet Garrett, managing editor of
the New York Tribune, he said:

"The Tribune has never revivd
a:iy uch statement from Paris and
none even remotely resembling such
a statement ar, wa denied by Presi

From this incident it appears that,
notwithstanding appearances t. tin
contrary, dispatches filed by Ameri
ca :i corro.-pondontd in Paris appar
ently ar? stilL, being censored and
perhaps withheld by the French a:i
thorites. The Paris dispatch f'jov.s
