French Censorship
In his closing speech Premier As
quith placed the burden of the censor
ship on France and said 1t was neces-
sary to defer to the wishes of the coun-
try which was doing the greater part
OF the hghting and where the fighting
was being carried on.
Dealing with the. matter of pay, the
premier said:
1.-THE insufficiency of the paw of the
lower ranks of commissioned officers
long has been a reproach to this coun-
try, but has become scandalous and an
indecency when men are laying down
their lives"
He announced that Earl Kitchener,
secretary for war, had prepared a
scheme for increased pay
Speaking of the need for more men
for the army the premier said that
apart from the territorials, 100000
men already are under arms. That num-
Der, he SAID, was not enough. He SAID
he saw no reason to be discouraged by
the recruiting figures. The numbers of
men that the exigencies of the state
demand, he believed, would be raised.
Indeed, he considered that the recruit
ing position was very satisfactory.
Since the outbreak of the war, Mr..
Asquith said, more than 100000 re-
cruits had Joined the regular army and
nearly 100000 had Joined the terri
torials.
Referring to the great stimulus to
recruiting for the London Scottish reg
iment which had resulted from the
prompt publicity given to the story
of its gallant charge, and to similar
publicity regarding the achievements
of other regiments which had greatly
accelerated their recruiting, Mr.. As
quith said he would be very glad II any
system could be adopted By which the
gallantry of officers and men of all
regiments should be promtly communi-
Gated to the public.
