The jNTew York Herald, referring to the tone of certain English newspapers in regard to the war, says: "Lord Kitchener knows that the section of the Press that is howling for conscription and assailing the 'high command' of the army for not performing the impossible, is tjhe same section that at the beginning of the war impeded recruiting by clamouring for 'business as usual.' He is conscious that it is the same section of the Press that has given consolation to Germany and inspired the belief in Berlin that Britain finally will consent to a shameful peace; be knows that it is tjhe same section of the Press which in the uncensored articles of its military experts gave information to the enemy that cost thousands of British and French lives after the battle of the Marne, and it is the same section of the Press that now, when Russia i s staggering from the blows of an opponent who has prepared for war for 40 years, is attempting tiNundermine the confidence of the Russian people and army, in the good faith and determination of the armies and people of Great Britain, France, ana Italy.
