LONDON, Nov. 2G. Tho bitter
cry ngalnst tho censorship heard
from tlio front Is that neither .regi

to gain nny recognition or publicity
for unusual exploits. This Is ono of
tho handicaps a democracy meets In
trying to conduct war on tho most
modern lines of Bocrecy. The Jap

Tho Japaueao carried tholr nttomps

that 110110 of the soldiers woro nny

Very few officers or enlisted mon
have been mado popular horocs

Referring to tho landing nt Riivha
