Press Censorship.

British newspapers are more restricted
In the publication OF war news than Paris
papers. The later arc supplied quite
promptly with reports from the war min
istry, while news from the British end OF
the war on land passes through an official
press bureau which moves at a pace that
makes snail look speedy. War corre-
spondents are as vigorously excluded from
the front as IN The Russo-Js pentse war,
and the once powerful profession Is re-
strlcted to such news as may be gathered
from stragglers away back I'm tho rear
benches. Excepting criticism OF delays In
giving out official news, the newspapers
do not complain. regarding the hardships
imposed as essential to the success OF
tho campaign. Indeed, the press OF the
kingdom display admirable public spirit
In suppressing news Of military move
ments at home until official sanction .is
given, lest the enemy profit by premature
publication.
