<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>An unsere werten Leser</strong></p>
<p>Es wird wohl schon den Meisten bekannt sein, daß es durch Gesetz, das am 16. Oktober* um Mitternacht in Kraft getreten, den fremdsprachigen Zeitungen verboten ist, Neuigkeiten oder Artikel über den Krieg, die Bundes-Regierung oder irgend eine der anderen kriegführenden Mächte betreffend, zu bringen, und das zwar so lange der Krieg dauert, es sei denn, es werde beim lokalen Postmeister vor der Bekanntmachung im Blatte eine eidlich erhärtete Uebersetzung hinterlegt. Von dieser Zensur werden ausgenommen, diejenigen Zeitungen, die einen speziellen Erlaubnisschein haben. Um diesen haben wir bei der Bundesregierung nachgesucht und halten daher für das Geratenste, uns aller Krie[g]snachrichten und Kommentare zu enthalten, bis uns die Lizens bewilligt worden ist. Wir bitten unsere werten Leser um gütige Nachsicht dafür und werden unser Blatt trotzdem so interessant als möglich gestalten, in der Hoffnung, daß sie uns in diesen schweren Zeiten treu bleiben.</p>

An account of the resource
<p><strong>To Our Valued Readers</strong></p>
<p>As most readers already know, foreign language newspapers are forbidden to publish articles about the war, the federal government, or anything concerning other countries at war, for as long as the war lasts, unless a notarized translation is submitted to the local postmaster before publication. These restrictions are based on a law that came into effect at midnight on October 16th [correct date: October 6th]. Newspapers with a special permit may be exempted from this censorship. We have applied for such a permit with the federal government and consider it most advisable to abstain from all news and commentary concerning the war until we receive it. We ask our valued readership to bear with us and will continue to make our paper as interesting as possible in the hope that our readers remain true to us in these hard times.</p>
