All London is talking about a veiled
attack on Prince Louis of Rattenberg,
first sea lord of the British admiralty,
by journalist who is chiefly remark
able for his hysteria. This attack took
the form of a declaration that the sus-
picion Of Prince Louis, on the ground
that he is German, is quite un-
founded. There is said to be no sus-
pfcion of Prince Louis. who was one of
the most capable officers in the navy.
who has been in the British service for
forty-f1ve years. and who surrendered
his German nationality even earlier
than that. The journalist wound up
his article by suggesting that. in spite
of the fact that Prince Louis was the
best man for the job, it would be bet
ter in his own interest II he resigned.
A day or two after this article ap-
peared a canard was set afloat by the
rumor factory that Prince Louis had

One thing that has struck every one
who has visited the hospitals is that
the wounded men are far more inter-

They ask eagerly for the newspapers
when they are brought in, but instead

brought a paper to a wounded Scots
soldier the other day and as his hands
were bandaged she opened it for him
at the description of the latest battle.
He was too polite to say anything. but
his look of distress was too plain to
be ignored and the nurse asked him
what was wrong.

piled. Il want to see how the Rangers

When one reflects that their pay in

one can easily see that they are en-

been denouncing the censorship loudly
and who was threatened with the sup
preston of his paper some time ago.
He got around the prohibition in a
most ingenious way, by describing the
arrival of "reinforcements." The ma

Now, the only troops which march
to the music of the fife are British.

been allowed to see the light here Is
that when President Poincare went to
the front last week he fully expected
to assist at the surrender of Won
Kluck's army. The allies had been
gaining daily successes for some time,
and there is no doubt that the German
general was hard pressed indeed. One
morning he was reported to have sent
a parliamentaire to the French COM
mander to ask for terms Of surrender
The reply was that his surrender must
be unconditional, and must include
men, guns and stores. Won Kluck man
aged to spend a day in talking 1t over
and then pretended to accept the
terms, but said that he must have
authority from Berlin, and the allied
commanders gave him another day to
secure it.
The willy German general utilized the
two days thus gained to rush up rein
give his exhausted troops rest. Then
he broke off negotiations and President
Poincare went back.
Things have been going much better
at the censor's office, from the point of
view Of the newspapers, since the ap-
pointment of Sir Stanley Buckmaster,
the solicitor general. as chief censor to
succeed F. E. Smith. Sir Stanley has
displayed much more disposition to CO.
operate with the newspapers by telling
them definitely what IL forbidden and
what may be passed. and enabling
accordingly. He has also succeeded in
