By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 4.—A protest movement has been inaugurated by German artists against the severity of the censorship to which art is sub- jected in Germany. The freedom of art, they contend, is seriously jeopardized when things have come to such a pass that any- thing resembling a revolutionary idea iu painting, sculpture, literature or the drama is legally prosecuted under the heading of “high treason” or “in- citing to class hatred” on the conte: tion that the safety of the republic is at stake. Cases are mentioned in which not only the offending art product was conflscated, but the author or imper- sonator even sentenced to imprison- ment. The list éf prominent artists ap- pended to this appeal Includes Dr. Ludwig Fulda, Dr. Max Osborn George Bernhard, Prof. M. Bonn, Prof. Einsteln, Prof. Max Liebermann, president of the Relchstag; Paul Loebe, Helnrich and Thomas Mann, former Cabinet Minister Gustav Ra bruch, Ernst Teller and editor-in-chief of the Tageblatt Theodore Wolff.

Explaths Deflcit. Mr. Ham pointed out that 372,332 engers were carried from March ecember 31, glving the company a return of §38.718.45, but the operating expenses and taxes over this period amounted to $45.885.31. The proposed new rates would give the company a4 10-month period, providing is no change in the present vol- raflic. he said, « revenue of from the new line would cents a Ham cited figures showing that during every month of the line's oper wion last . with the excention of and May, there was a deficit in operating expenses and that the vol ime of traffic had not expanded.

The type of busses used also Is a factor in the operating cost, he added. “Selective Rout: Mr. Ham argued that the Burleith line is a “selective route, comparable to the de luxe bus service of the Capital Traction Co., and Willlam MeK. Clay- ton, chairman of the utilities commit- tee of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso- ciations, challenged him to ask the commission for a fare approximating that charged on the “parlor car’ coaches. I don’t think that is prac- ticable now," he replied Mr. Clayton reminded Mr. Ham that the Washington Rapid Transit is operating on a tentative fare of 10 cents cash or six tokens for 50 cents for & three-month period, and asked him whether his company would agree to a lower fare on the Burleith line it the fare should be reduced on the transit company’s lines. Mr. Ham nodded in the affirm- ative. Residents of Burleith, the commis- sion was told by R. M.
