have shown more liberality to the war cor
respondents than any other beIligerent in this
war, with the possible exception of Belgium

lowed Associated Press correspondents to go
anywhere along the Gallipoi peninsula that
they wished to go and see the trench warfare

has consequently been able to give fair and
first hand statement of conditions on the Turk
ish side-and not necessarily from the Turkish
standpoint. Otherwise the censorship at the

is something of paradox that the "unspeak-
