CLAMORING FOR WAR OF THE
PRO-BRITISH PRESS.
I'VE could fill a large number OF
| columns every day" says q German
newspaper from the Middle West,
'by publishing nothing but those
| European war news which are being
suppressed by the pro-British press.
Our western contemporary is right.
! Practically all German news are wit
held from public knowledge and only
some of the most conspicuous news
are published, and that only because
even the British admit that things
are going the wrong way; not only
! in Rumania but on other fronts as
well.
We do not say that all newspapers
| printed in the American language
have adopted such a policy which is
humiliating to American intelligence.
Many Of the large newspapers, al
though openly favoring the Allies,
print all the news. But quite a num-
Der of the same class and almost the
/ entire provincial press take the mar
row and wholly un-American stand
point of suppressing news favorable
, to the Cent al Powers and feeding
their readers solely on London made
news.
We have always failed to under
stand the pro-British sympathies Of
the papers we are alluding to, as the
history of Great Britain and her
present attitude towards us have
shown and show only too clearly that
England has no love and nothing but
contempt for us. Such considerations,
of course, do not disturb our pro-
vincial papers, they are fighting for
England, first, last and all the time.
What does it matter to them what
becomes Of American commerce and
American wealth. II is England they
are fighting for, no matter how con-
temptible and hideous the means are
they employ.
We publish below piece of news
! received via wireless from Berlin on
| Saturday last. IL shows how John
Bull, to save his own precious skin.
drives the men OF Canada and Aus
tralia into the whitening German
! fire, where they are purposely and
uselessly slaughtered to save British
blood. And il is the very same fate,
J that Will befall the American boys,
! If English intrigues and the prohibit
ish sheets Of the u. S. should succeed
in involving us in the war. They
are hard at work ana, as usually, it
Is the old, old submarine question
that is being dragged from the dusty
shelves and put before the public as
menace to American freedom and
independence.
The pro-Brtsh press of the u. S.
is interested in a war between Ger
many and the u. s., because it is
| controlled by the men who manufac-
ture the ammunition and it is for
that reason and no other that they
suppress information like the fol-
lowing:
Berlin, Nov. 25.-By wireless to
Sayville. Extremely bad weather
brought the great Somme battle TO
halt says an overseas news agency
review today. The attacking forces
found that a large number OF their
shells failed to explode burying Them
selves in the moist soil. according to
the reports from the fighting front
while the troops suffered from the
wet ard cold
Such attacks as have been made
have been fruitless, declares the
semi-ofIicial summary, which charges
the British with employing contin-
gents OF colonial troops, notably
Australians, instead OF their home
forces in the first limo during what It
alludes to as a battle for practice"
although the Australians had been
engaged for six weeks in the hotly
disputed Po2ieres sector 1t declares
the Australians and New Zealanders
lost in round numbers 10000 men in
the Somme fighting, three of their
divisions having been completely
wiped out. The Canadians, too, it is
asserted. after suffering heavy losses
in the Ypres fighting in June were
thrown into the Somme battle in
September and have been in the first
! line on all the days of great attacks
since Sept g. The South Africans,
also, are said to have lost an entire
I brigade in Delvillo wood. Declara
tions of prisoners show it is asserted
that the Australians were recruited
at first for service in Egypt and then
for the Dardauelles.
"The accusations made by several
of the British dominions," continues
the summary, caused the British
chief command to point out expressly
that attacks on Beaumont and Beau
court were carried out by troops from
the British isles"
Colonial troops also have been
lavishly employed by the French,
says the account 1t declares that
the total losses of the Anglo-French
forces in the Somme fighting have
been more than 100000.
