Paris, Nov. 23.-Feculiar things hap
pen to news in these days when it is
so scarce and censors are so strict
Much news is lifted" from one news
paper into another, and when a writer
gets a story into print there is no tell
ing under what date line, or whose
name, 1t may re-appear. 80
One of the few graphic and authen-
tic stories from the front. appeared in
an afternoon paper here on a recent
Sunday. 1t was cabled to New York
the same evening. The next day a
Paris newspaper picked up the story
and that afternoon another paper did
the same thing. Other papers, MORN
ing and afternoon. ran the story on
Tuesday. And then, on Wednesday
morning, an English newspaper print
ed the item as q special despatch
from the north Of France" over the
signature of an authentic war CORES
pondent,
The incident is not so much an ex-
ample of loose editorial work as de-
monstration of the journalists troubles
during the war. Copy is scarce enough
at best, and the censor ruins the best
of it while the staffs of all the Paris
papers are decimated by the mobiliza-
ton.
Each copies from all the others and
a story that passes observation today
may catch the eve tomorrow. This ap-
plies to the censor's staff as well, for
an article approved in the morning Is
sometimes cut out in the afternoon.
One man with the official scissors sees
one paragraph that will not do. His
colleague passes the same article in
another paper, but finds another OBJ
jectionable paragraph that the other
did not see.
Clemenceau's reclristened paper,
L'Homme Enchaine, recently contained
the heading of an editorial "Is 1t
True?" The rest of the column was
blank and the public shall have to wait
for the end of the war to know wheth-
er it is true or not.
In another case dangerous news
item was cut out but the head was
overlooked. 1t was a good head and,
of course, contained the meat of the
article.
TheCri de Paris says 'fhe censor is
as capricious as a pretty woman" then
proves 1T by giving details of certain
incidents in which ex-Minister Call
laux and Madame CaillaHx were con-
cerned, but regarding which the censor
had imposed a strict silence. Monsieur
and Madame Caillaux appeared arm
i'm arm on the boulevard and, were
hooted. They went to a restaurant to
dine and all the other guests rose to
leave They went into the garage
where the reduisitioned motor-cars OF
the military government of Paris are
kept and ordered a car. but the car
was refused and Gallieni approved the
refusal. All these incidents. SUPPRESS
ed pitiIessly by the censor in Paris,
were passed in the Eclaireur de Nice.
and now the Cri de Paris has had the
chance to smuggle them into Paris
under the nose of the censor who pre-
viously cut them out.

institutions hit by the war. with the
