GREAT STRIFE IS
BEING SHROUDED
IN DARK MYSTERY
People of Europe Are Becoming
Impatient Because of Lack
of Positive Reports From
Theater Of War.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON. Sept 21.-Perhaps never
before in history was a great war
fought with such secrecy as the great
struggle now going on among Eng
land. France. Russia. Belgium, Servia,
Germany and Austria. The whole af-
fair is being shrouded in deepest mys-
terry and the issue befogged and be-
clOuded at every step.
Every possible effort is being made
by every government involved TO keep
their people and the rest of the world
from getting an inkling OF what Is
happening in the theaters OF war.
Even the meager statements issued
by the French war office, the British
press bureau. and the war offices OF
Germany and Russia are so intricate
and ambiguous, so involved and
roundabout in their wording that they
convey little information.
People Impatient
Portions OF the British public to-
day showed a disposition to be impa-
tient and skeptical. because OF the
scarcity Of information. They limited
that the government was reticent be-
cause il had something TO conceal.
They argued that If the British eNpe-
dictionary force in France was vic
torious, the war Office would have no
hesitancy in giving out the facts. IL
was pointed out that when the British
fleet worsted the Germans off He'll
goland and sunk some OF their ships,
the press bureau gave il out quickly
enough Hence, they said. the deep
and almost unbroken official silence
of the last few days BODIES no good for
the forces OF the allies.
In Paris conditions are no better.
The French war office gives out only
short statements. and they lack pos
itiveness of detail. The French peo-
pie are clamoring more boisterously
than the British that they be given
In England. the newspapers are
publishing all they can get In all the
cities and towns and the rural popu-
lation is as we'll, or as Ill, informed as
the people of London. But in France
even the little news that the Parisians
obtain is not passed on to the prov
inces. There are no telegraphs and
no newspapers in rural France.
Up to date-and the war has been
going on about five weeks-these Of
fetal bureaus OF the warning nations
have told the world. through the news
correspondents have no recourse but
70 take what is given them and some
times have even that mutilated by the
censors, has been told daily stories OF
fighting on the French frontier by the
Germans and the British and French
allies: and Of fighting on the German
frontier between the Germans AUS
TRANS and Russians.
Strange Reports.

the public IL Informed that the Ger
mans and allies have fought contin-
uOuslv for eight DAYS and that the
Germans have forced the allies 20 fail
back ION their stronger positions"
Following this. IL Is given out that
the Germans have left Belgium 10 Op-
pose the Russians in the east. but
still the lighting supposedly going on
in northern France with no advantage
TO either side. The accounts given out
are such that the average man in the
street cannot comprehend just what
has been done. or what is being at
tempted And none OF the nations have
given out details OF their losses In
the lighting in Belgium and in Alsace
IL was admitted that both sides lost
heavily but no figures were given
out.
And so Il goes The war is being
fought presumably for the people Of
the contending nations. The German
soldier is aghting TO preserve the in
tegrity OF Germany and 10 protect the
interests OF the German manufacture
and shipper. TIE same is presumably
true Cf England. France and Russia
and the other com batants. Yet the
people OF these countries and Of the
world are told, in effect, that what is
being done is none OF their bust
ness.
The question in the minds OF all OBJ
servers OF the war game now is, how
long will the people OF the various
be content TO be kept in the
their troops, maintained by their
