COMPLAINING At

British Papers No t in Ac.
cord With Policy-How
News is Withheld.

London. Nov. 24.-Among the new
expressions which the war has added
to the British vocabulary are the
dismal jimmies," and 'ails."
"Atis" is an abbreviation of what
a popular writer calls the "all is lost
jimmies" are the people who take a
gloomy view of the war.
Whether optimism or pessism over
the prospect is the most profitable
frame of mind for the nation in these
days is a question much debated in
the newspapers. Undoubtedly opti-
mism Is the view which the govern
ment encourages. Most of the news
papers follow h I'M policy.

ing flourishes best in the darkest
hours. Every announcement of a bad
British reverse has been followed by
a boom in recruiting, al the men who

not needed.
The Times declares that it the
newspapers fail to give q well-balanc-
ed view Of events, the public is large
ly to blame. 1t says:
ANY attempt to discuss unpleasant
factors with frankness produces
storms of protest from indignant Brit
ons. Letters pour in complaining that
or panic mongers' or dismal JIM
miles, or whatever nay be the pop
ular epithet of the moment. But 1t
must be added that for the general
tendency Of the newspapers to publish
only good news, the government and
not the press Is solely to blame. The
newspapers publish good news be-
u as a rule they are not allowed
to publish bad news. The govern
functions of newspapers as collectors
and p%urveyOrs of news, and on the
whole the control is being exercised
with extreme inefficiency. In spite Of
all protests it steadily tends to grow
more rigid"

ditions, but concludes hat 1.-The public
