write the story of tha British govern
ment's struggle with its modesty and
suspicion. Col. Buchan is fitted for
the undertaking becauso, not only of
his service at the front, but of his
work as author of "The Battle of the
Sorame," "Nelson's History of the
War," etc.
By L. T. COL. JOHN BUCHAN
(Written for the United Press)
London, June 30 (By Mail)
Every specialist is, at first, wary of
publicity. Sooner or later his opinion
on the subject changes. He learns
that he cannot do what he wants to do
unless the public understands.
This is true of specialists whose
work may be termed only semi-public,
such as men in medical or other sci
ence; it is doubly true of the special
ists in the science of wtrafare,- the
hoads of our armios and navies. In
the British army and navy the dis
trust of publicity has always existed,
but in recent years this distrust has
been" 'broken down. Now, perhaps,
the relation between the men who
fight and their day-to-day historians
probably is more cordial in tha Brit
ish army and navy than in any other.
At the opening of the war Great
Britain was without a press censor
ship organization or, certainly, any
thing approaching that of Germany.
With our traditions of free speech
and free press it was to be expected
that we should handle the matter
awkwardly. The expectation was
realized. At the beginning the matter
was handled mechanically; rules 'had
to ba made and applied and sometimes
the strict application of rules led to
incidents irritating to the press and
harmful to tho government.
Despite occasional mishaps and the
fact that most of the thought given
to publicity ihad to do with ways of
suppressing it, the British army furn
ished tho world with more details of its
operations and occurences, vastly
more than the German army
did. For one thing exceedingly full
dispatches were given to the press.
General French even mentioned the
fighting units 'by name a thing that
has since been discontinued for good
military reasons. Complete casualty
lists were published immediately,
though this has not yet been done by
the French army or the Russian.
But the underlying distrust of cor
respondents bad not abated; it re
mained at the high point reached in
the Russo-Japanese war. To meet
tho obvious need of reporting to the
1 - - B 1 1. . i 1.
pian oi tne kusso-Japanese war was
tried, that of the "Official Eye-Wit-ness."
This plan broke down in short
time.
In the spring . of 1915 a complete
change took place. First, correspond'
ents were allowed at the front; a press
chateau was established and press of
ficers detailed to assist the news
papermen. The correspondents, how'
ever, were allowed to relate only what
they could see for themselves and that
I wasn't as much as it might have been.
A year later found the correspon
dents thoroughly established in the
confidence of the army and their pos
ition entirely changed. It had been
discovered that far from doing harm
they were doing great good. Before
the Battle of the Somme they had
"dug themselves in" beyond the pos
sibility of dislodging them if any
military man had so desired'. ' They
were told everything, they saw cap
tured documents, they were taken to
the best positions for observations and
allowed the greatest latitude in their
writing.
The correspondents may write
practically anything that is not of
value to the enemy. The result of the
changed attitude toward news is that
the fighting fronts have the following
channels of publicity:
First 'Gen. Haig's dispatches, sur-
passing those of any other commander
for detail of information contained.
Second Two daily communiques.
Third The British newspaper cor
respondents, oil distinguished men in
their profession and the representa
tives of the United Press and the As
sociated Press, stationed at the Press
Chateau. Representatives of the al
lied and neutral press also have a
chateau.
Fourth Special articles by well
known writers, such as H. G. Wells
and Arnold Bennett, and by repre
sentatives of individual newspapers
permitted periodically, to visit the
front.
On other fronts of the British
armies the same general plan is car
ried out on a less extensive scale.
With regard to the fleet, largely be
cause of physical reasons, the com
muniques and official dispatches have
to furnish most of tho news, though
many visits have been arranged for
newspaper representatives.
This growth of an appreciation of
publicity was not confined to the
army and navy. The need began to
be understood in other governmental
branches and men were detailed to
handle the work. As part of the
present Prime Minister's overhaul
ing of the government, a Director was
created for the business of propogf .nda
and publicity. The decision as to
what can be published about the fight
lies ultimately in the hands of the
War" Office and tho Admiralty, but
just as it is the business ol the Trea
sury to watch all other departments
to promote economy, it is tho busi
ness of their office to watch all other
departments.to moke sure that inter
esting information of value to the
Allied cause is issued without delay.
In the fog of a great war the pop
ular mind is ofton apt to lose its sense
of proportion and forget the main
issues. It is the business of the De
partment of Information to try, as
far as possible, to keep before the

It is very difficult for the lay mind
to grasp the princibles on which army

the success of their operations and the
lives of their soldiers often depend on
these things. Only men engaged In
such work day by day can say exactly
what kind of information may be of
use to the enemy. Take the matter
of mentioning the smaller fighting:

decided against. We have found that
