Personally should have preferred,
IL 1t were possible, to have accredited
reporters at the seat of war. That
may be impossible, but ! do hope the
government will try to give all the
information that can be given apart
from military considerations, and they
will tell the House frankly the prin-
ciple upon which they are acting in
regard to the whole matter. am
quite sure that nothing could be worse
than to. conceal misfortanes, If we
have any, from the people of this
country. do not mean that it may not
be right to delay publication of incl
dents, perhaps for a considerable time
for strategical reasons, but l am sure 1t
would be wrong for us to do what may
have been right in the case of Japan,
to conceal disasters until the war is
over. The main object with us would
be to prevent a panic, and in my be-
lief one thing which would cause
panic would be if the people of this
country got the idea that they do not
know the whole truth"
The press throughout England has
attributed slackness in recruiting very
largely to the strict censorship. Con-
sequently Mr.. Law was yoicing an
opinion which has been current in the
United Kingdom for many weeks.
What is the principle which ought
to govern us?" Mr.. Asquith remarked
in his reply. You should be ready to
divulge everything, whether favorable
or adverse, subject only to military
considerations. ! can say with the
utmost confidence that as far as we
are concerned, and as far as we have
responsibility in the matter, that is
the principle on which we have acted
throughout. Whatever has been con-
cealed. or rather withheld-for 1 quite
agree there Is a difference between
permanent concealment and temper
airy Observation-Disclosures has been
withheld has been withheld simply
because, in the opinion of our military
and naval advisers and ourselves. it
was inexpedient that for the moment
1t should be divulged lest it give the
enemy an advantage he would not
otherwise have.
I'VE should all like to know more
than we dol should myself-of the
daily progress of the war, the achieve
ments of particular ships, of particu-
lar regiments, of particular individuals.
Whatever is done must be done by
conjoint action. and after due consul
tation between the allied forces. We
must have regard to their interests
and opinions just as much as our own.
while I quite agree that from the
point of view Of recruiting, In which
/ take personal and direct interest
1t is indeed desirable that we should
have those full, was almost going
to say full-blooded, descriptions with
which the old special correspondents
used to furnish us in wars gone by,
special adventures and heroic achieve
ments of this or that regiment. in this
or that stricken field, yet when you
are dealing with a war which extenGs

puck near the Kents Hill goal most of
the time.
The features for Kent's Hill were the
playing of Coach Cobb and Prof. Peas

game. All the Readfield boys played
well. Williams and Hunton were con-

Kent's Hill goal keeper would have made
many more points. Fogg and Capt. Adj

the Kents Hill men, while Hopkins and
Greeley at goal always shot the puck
out of danger. S. Williams shot the only
goal of the game.

will play any High school in the State
