BRITISH CENSORSHIP.
REPLY TO CRITICS. DEFERENCE TO ALLIES. London, November '6. Among Lord Roberts's hist remarks in England was an expression of regret for the "too great secrecy of the military censorship concerning the bravery and deeds of the. British troops." The Daily Chronicle strongly attacks the Government censorship of thrilling deeds on the battlefield, and contrasts it unfavourably with the German methods. Replying to criticisms in the House of Commons, Mr. Asquith said that Britain was not a free agent in the matter of war correspondents, and was obliged to regulate her proceedings by the wishes of the allies, who bore the chief share of the fighting. There had been no war news withheld except under the stress of immediate military exigencies.
