The war indemnities demanded
by the German troops in towns OF
Belgium and Franco total $1it,-
100000. Only a small portion OF
thia sum has been paid.
The Germans have on this lue
the advantage of high ground, with

stand on the same line they may
be able to sustain general engage

from east to west.
In case the German force should
retire again they would have two
lines of retreat, by Longwy and by
Sedan.
1t remains TO be seen whether.
under the adverse conditions, the
Germans have been able to get their
artillery into position through the
mud The situation would be des-
perate in case of defeat, for the
heavy rains continue and under the
circumstances the Germans could
hardly get their heavy artillery

The second great battle in North
France, since the northbound sweep

north of the River Aisne. The OF
POSING lines are arrayed from the
Araonne hills through Rethel tc
Chateau Porcien and near the prac.

program Of the French summer ma

on a large scale for this very date.
Whether the Germans purpose to
fight to a finish at this position, or
ulan merely to cover their retreat
to the Meuse, is not clear, but the

SUPPRESSION OF NEWS

Accusation Made That Dispatches

BY HERBERT COREY.

LONDON, October 14.--Lord Kitche-
ner and Hilaire Belloc came into col
lision the other day. Kitchener won.
Kitchener is the military gentleman
who is running this empire. the peanut
stand on the corner. and that bulwark
of free people, an enlightened press.
Belloc is a well known journalist. who
is obsessed by liking for facts.

by profession, his weekly letter on the
war lifted dying magazine out of
the ditch. People began to read it.
"Ah." his readers would say to them

Years before his name had ever been
heard in England. Kitchener said:
II ever / have the power, 1 will
forbid the publication of any news
whatever about a war which is being
fought"
Bear In mind that Kitchener sincere

country. 1t is the country's duty to

thinking. This may seem long way

Eut he thinks this British nation is
big enough and brave enough to face
a fact without screaming. He didn't
put his facts in blunt. cold, shocking
they were there. He intimated that
the German army is not composed ex-
clusively of child killers and towards
he said that, as a matter of fact, they
are hghting quite as well as the Eng
lish and French. Belloc's position was
that this war is not to be decided by
popular vote. 1t didn't do any good
to mislead people.
Trouble for Other Patriots.
There isn't more acidulously loyal

military correspondent is Maj Redway,
retired officer of the army Redway
has carefully avoided printing anything
in his column which might give aid or
comfort to the enemy. He lived up to
the war office theory that the reason
for a censorship Is to keep informa-
ton out of German brains and hands.
But he couldn't help seeing that the
battle OF the Aisne was not the sort of
an AFFAIR that the kitchenered COM
muniques indicated. 1t took an acute
mind to burrow this conviction out of
the mass Of words with which Redway
surrounded it. The censor came down

The 10000 Indian troops were landed

too. But 1t happened that the day the
Indians were landed Prime Minister
Asquith delivered a speech at Dublin.
He told his audience that the Indians

censors.
Suppressing the Prime Minister.
And so it wasn't There is a certain
quality of mirth in the thought that
the utterances of Prime Minister As
quith are suppressed as dangerous by
some pig-headed retired colonel. The
qualifying adjective is not mine. 1t
was first used by Prime Minister Az
cuith when for seven days the censors
would not permit a report of Asquith's s
speech, delivered In the house of COM
mons, to be cabled to America. -.

granted that every detail of the raising
of this Canadian army has been printed
there, and that when the first Cana
dians sailed for England the first pages
all over the Dominion burgeoned joy
ously. The fact had been printed here
that Canada was raising troops for use
in the war. But in a somewhat belated
important fact from the Germans the
arrival of the first Canadian troops was

that Lord Kitchener is seriously dis
pleased with the manner in which some
of the London papers have been con,

have printed anything, which is not

But they have permitted certain doubts
to find their way into the tone, rather
than into the words, of editorials. They
have not dreamed-any more than
have-that the allies: win not be sue

they are not quite satisfied that the
success of the allies has been abb

Holding Up Mail to Read It.
OF course, that is an extreme case.
But there is no doubt in my mind that
the war Office made up its mind at the
beginning that the world should have
such facts as it chose to give-and only
such. Because it has been in complete
control of all the cables it has partially
succeeded: Press matter coming here via
Holland is not only censored at the
point OF origin, but is censored again
here before it is delivered to the news
papers and .correspondents-and even
then it Is held up. All Holland mail is
held up five days in order that the let

tained 500 words This was what
reached-the association:

For "a time any wild story of German
atrocities was passed by the press bureau.
No one doubts that German soldiers were
guilty OF many outrages. But before these
yarns are swallowed head, fins and ALL, it
must be remembered that the public mind
has been in heated and receptive state.
the public believed that 100000 Russians
had been landed in France from Arch
angel, in spite Of reiterated denials by the
press bureau. 1t Is hardly to be expected
that It would refuse to believe that drunk
