England's News Censor
Charged With Blunderine
Special to The Telegraph

London, Aug. 13.-The Daily News
to-day says editorially:
Most people know that the censor
is at work and very active in this
country. No patriotic person will
complain of that so long as the censor
does the work in rational way, for
the Importance of preventing useful
hints reaching our enemy is obvious.
"A censor becomes the subject of
just complaint when he becomes un-
reasonable and there is an instance
which shows how the thing should
not be done.
"A week ago a Belgian paper pub
lished a piece of news of particular
interest to Englishmen. On Sunday
the French papers printed it the same
afternoon with greater detail. 1t was
not private message, but a COM
munication issued to the whole French
press by the French War Office. Now
there is a piece of news the censor
oyer here forbids the English press
to publish, although it concerns the
English people more than any other.
For this action of the British censor
there is no sort of excuse or justifi-
cation.
"If the French War Office thinks
the publication of information does
no harm, how can our censor imagine
it can do harm? In any case, If there
had been harm, it had been done al
ready by the mere publication in
France, and repetition here cannot
add to 1t.
This is regarded as singular, but
| it is far from being the only instance
of utterly misplaced suppression, and
it is not compensated by a laxity
which allows the publication of the
widest and most palpable fictions.
I'VE criticise the censorship with
reluctance because in its present form
it has only Just commenced its work,
ubt these blunders must be indicated
If they are to be avoided in the flu
ture"

American Military History.

One hundred years ago the littls
American force pretentiously desig
mated as the Army Of the North re-
tired from Plattsburg to the south
bank of the Saranac river, in readiness
to meet the British army, which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American com
mander, had about $500 men in his
army, but perhaps less than 1000 were
fit for active duty. The British forcs
numbered between 10000 and 14,OOc
men, the majority of whom were vet
Grams in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibflity of defense
General Macomb Unanswered his little
army and gathered such re-enforce'
ments by earnest appeal as to enaDie
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.
