EXTREME SECRECY OF
 BRITISH WAR OFFICE
London Paper Contrasts Attitude of France and Great Britain Regard
 ing Movements of Their Armies

London, Aug, 27, 5:01 a. m4-The military correspondent of the Times comments upon the extreme secrecy with which the British war office is shrouding the movements of the Brit ish army. He contrasts this attitude with the frankness of the French au- thorities in issuing periodic sum- maries of the movements of their army, and says that it is to be feared the present policy is having an i'll ef- feet upon recruiting. He adds that the nation does not yet realize the stupendous nature of the task 10 which it is committed.
 Touching on the sames subject the Times says editorially:
 The British press has no desire to print information which might assist the enemy. If it asks for better news and more skillful censorshipsit does so in the public interest.
 Influences are at work which do not fully comprehend the psychology of the nation. Britons cannot for ever cooperate with unrestricted en- thusiasm in a war they cannot see and about which they are denied all even to a supply of those harmless pictures which appeal so warmly to the people"

The recent weather and travelling have
been such that only few visitors and

mains on the place this year and the two

For several years Mr.. Cole has been In
the employ of the late Elias Thomas OF
Portland, surveying cumberland in diff
ferent sections of the state, and doing
other kinds of labor; and soon after bis

one hundred dollars as a present, which
seems to infer he was we'll pleased with
his work.

days visit, being detained longer on &C
count of the storms. he buried his wife
several years ago, since which he has
worked in different places, aud the com.

in-law, George Cummings, who intends
to build new barn before hay harvest.
Wallace Cummings has one daughter,
Annie, now fifteen years old, who Is at
tending school at Bethel.
