Bitter Cry Heard at the Front
Echoed In Parliament
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily
London, November 1S.-tCorres-
pondence of The Associated Press.l-
The bitter cry against the censorship
heard from the front is that neither
regiments nor individuals are allowed
to gain any recognition or publicity
for unusual exploits. This is one Of
the handicaps a democracy meets in
trying to conduct war on the most
modern lines Of secrecy. The Japanese
army In the war against Russia was
the pioneer i'm this policy. The Japan
csc carried their attempts to keep the
enemy in the dark so far that none
OF the soldiers wore any regimental
marks on their uniforms. Very few
officers or enlisted men have been
made popular heroes through this war
and no regiments stand out conspicu-
ously in the public eye, although Of
ficers say that several of them have
achievements to their credit equal
ling the charge OF the Light Brigade
at Balaclava. So far as the regiments
of the old army. 'the Little Con-
temptibles," are concerned. more than
a majority of their members have fig
ured in the casualty lists>months ago.
Grievances Of ireland.
John Redmond. the nationalist
leader, cited one of the grievances of
ireland in the debate which followed
Premier Asquith's speech on Novem-
Der 2. He said: How could II
bring help to the enemy to let the
people of Ireland, OF Scotland, of Eng
land and of Wales know what their
own regiments are doing?" He said
that the landing at Sedul Bahr in
April, which was the most difficult
operation of that battle, was carried
out by the Dublin Fusiliers and the
Munster Fusiliers, but that Ireland
had no knowledge of their work ex-
cept in letters from the few surviving
officers. He continued: That kind
of thing is doing us untold mischief
I'm ireland. One OF the Dublin Fusil-
iers was known as the Pals. II was
made up of well-educated young men
from the universities, public schools
and the professions. They were all
practically annihilated.
In Anguish Over Children.

Something of a rough and tumble
