BRITAIN'S DETERMINATION.
As indicated in the dispatches of
yesterday the reply to the American
note relative to the war zone is being
given careful consideration by the Url- j
tish Ministry with the view of settling. |
once for all. the issues involved As!
stated in the message, it Is the inten- !
i
tlon of the British government to make!
the matter of assurance as to the ulti
mate destination of foodstuffs shipped
to Germany, the principal feature of
the reply, and, ns the United States
manifestly cannot guarantee whether
such foodstuffs will roach the military
or the civilian population for whom it
is Intended. The whole matter is thus
thrown back upon the shoulders of the
United States with nothing conceded
on the part of Britain except perhaps,
the smaller and unessontail details.
From such information as can be
gathered this has been the course in
variably pursued in replying to every
one of the notes previously addressed
lo that country by the United States.
KngLand has answered in terms of
friendliest diplomacy but has virtually
conceded nothing. The determination
of Kngland to proceed nlong the lines
she has previously mapped out is
plainly evident and doubtless in her
heart of hearts the attempts of America
to adjust matters to a more agreeable
state, are looked upon as an unwar
ranted interference. There is no ques
tion tliat Britain is absolutely deter
mined to press the blockade of the Ger
man coast to the extreme limit be the
cost what it may to others, and this
stand unquestionably meets the ap
proval of the British press and public
Kngiand can hardly be blamed for
this attitude; Germany is an enemy
who must be overthrown in order to
insure her own future existence as a
world power and it is little to be doubt
ed that she will persist in her endeavors
to throttle this menacing foe in spite
of the efforts of the whole world to
cause her to recede
That thus determination seriously af
fects the prosperity or well being of
this or that nation is a matter of little
concern in the face of the fact that
ihe present struggle is one in which she
like all the others involved, must con
quer or die.
THE VALUE OF WAR NEWS.
Now that the spotlight in the great
Kuropean war drama ban been shifted
to the oast, the paucity of news from
the battle fronts of France and Boland
shows in a way how little of the vast
volume of so culled war news received
during the Inst few weeks, was real.
When those scenes were the center of
attraction every scrap of information
authentic or otherwise was eagerly
sought hv the ingenious reporters,
twisted into war news and rushed to
far off scenes as the latest information
from the shot swept battle lines
The reporters can hardly be blamed
for this The world is loudly demand
ing news from the front and they are
there to get It. if they can, but unfort
unatelv the restrictions placed on re
porters are such that they are forced
in the majority of cases to take what
information drifts back to them in the
sequestered spots where they are cool
ing their heels, miles behind the firing
lines
According to the best information to
band, there are hut three accredited
war reporters actually on the firing
lines in all Kuropp and one of these
is under the necessity of sending his
stories, after passing a rigorous cen
sorship. a three day journey by courier
beforp it can reach the outside world
While these men are actual eve wit
nesses of what is going on on the
bloody fields of death: although to
them the shriek of shot and scream of
shell, and the sight of charge and coun
tercharge are every day matters they
are never the less unable to tell to n
waiting world what thev have seen for
days and even weeks afterwnrd and
even then the names of loealites and
many other matters of vital interest
are deleted by the watchful censors:
The major part of the information
which reaches us everyday is given
out solelv by the war bureau's of the
nations involved in the struggle and
this naturally is inclined toward the
side from which it comes in this the
reporters play no part and while they
send out reams of stuff which they
have picked up in devious ways the
larger part is far from being authentic
being derived from such scraps of in
formation as come to hand from com
batants returning from the front
Thus it may bp seen that whatever
tile news, unless it have the stomp
of the official war bureau of one of
the belligptvnt countries, it may be
taken with a grain of salt, and even
then it is well to wait for confirmation
before giving it full credence

ZOUAVE, USED AS "SHIELD”
BY GERMANS, DIES A HERO.
PARIS —There was given out semi
otticiully in Paris recently ilie following
recital:
"The other day in P.clgium a German
column was advancing to attack the
forest of Brie, defended by a detach
ment of zouaves. Our men noticed
that before them the Germans forced a
zouave prisoner, and at the same time
they heard cries ,.f ‘stop firing.' l-'or
an instant our riflemen and the men in
charge of our machine guns hesitated.
Then from tin* German ranks they
heard the voice of the zouave prisoner,
who called to them: 'Shoot' it'.*
(Tirez Done. N'nm do Dieu.)
“Then there flashed out form the
ranks of the zouaves a general dis
charge -of rifles and machine guns.
This Are laid low the assailants of tlie
zouaves and with them fell the heroic
soldier whose devotion made it possi
ble for his countrymen to checkmate
tile ruse of the encm>
“If the name of the brave man is un
known, at least his regiment will re
tain forever the remembrance of his
sacrifice, whieli was equal to any of
the jmust courageous personal inci
dents recorded In our glorious history.”
