Kitchener's Way Of Inducing
Englishmen to Enlist.
(By J.W. r Mason.l

\oy- D.. w. M68On.J
New York. Nov. 17.-Persistent praise
of the valor and daring of the German
troops has become regular feature OF
the British's governments official re-
port in France and Belgium. While
British papers are vafnly pleading for
permission tC send correspondents to
the front to report. the uncf1ronicled
heroism Of British soldiers. the Kitch-
ener government is issuing statement
after statement fdealizing courage and
discipline
Such conspicuous and insistent praise
OF the enemy is very. unusual in war
fare. 1t is curiously supplemented by
a censorship policy which Is still keep
ing from the British nation the disaster
to the Audacious. Praise of German
skill on the sea is not, apparently, ac-
ceptable to the British government,
while the praise of the German army is
much desired. Undoubtedly this is due
to carefully planned military reasons.
There is no need TO encourage re-
crult1ng Tor the navy, nor to prevent
surrenders by warships. nor to inspire
volunteer seamen with desperate cour-
age. Apparently, however. Lord Kitch-
ener, who is practically dictator OF
Great Britain, thinks the allied land
forces need to be taught lessons.
An additional reason for praisfng the
Germans may be the desire to offset
the bitterly anti-German tone Of a part
of the British press. Lord Kitchener
may think that the irreconcilable atti-
tude of certain influential English
newspapers is driving Germany to a
condition Of desperation and despair
that can only result in useless pro-
1ongation Of the war.
Stin Another Reason.
Still another reason may be the old
device of explaining an inability to
make progress by referring to the ia
natical disregard for life Of the enemy.
Primarily, however, there can be
little doubt that Lord Kitchener wants
the Germans praised in order to stir
the new recruits among the allies to
deeds Of emulation and to fire young
spirit 1t is a fact freely admitted by
the English papers that there has
been a disappointing response to Lord
Kitcheners call for. volunteers, while
the necessity for CONSUMPTION is now
being discussed. The principal rea-
son for Lord Kitchener's failure as a
recruiting officer is attributed in Eng
!. land to the Kitchener censorship,
which allows nothing to pass likely to
! fire the martial ardor Of Englishmen.
,, Now. however, Kitchener. seems to
have admitted that aids to recruiting
from the front are necessary, only, in
stead Of agreeing that these aids
should be descriptions Of British hero
ism he has reached the opposite con-
clusion that stories Of German valor
can best serve his purpose.
At the same time 1t Is probable
that Lord Kitchener hopes fefere2ce
to the splendid discipline and courage
Of the Germans win have an effect in
reducing the apparent disparity In the
number of prtsnnerAs taken zhys. the
, Germans and the allies.
