Censorship to Be Lax. Unlike the stricter policy attempted at the outset of the war by the armies of Europe, it is not the present inten- Won of the war department to restrict Wie communications sent home by sol- dlers to printed cards containing ste- séotyped phrases which the soldiers éan strike out or leave in as they suit Sheir particular state of physical well Being. It is felt that this would in- Nolve too harsh a regulation for the parents and wives of men at the froat. Qonsequently the only regulation that will be attempted over the correspond- ence will be the regular cersorship at each regimental headquarters, through which all mail sent out by the soldiers must pass. At this point the war department in- tends shortly to issue a warning and a plea to American newspapers not to print, without careful regard to possi- Ble harm that might be done, letters from soldiers bearing the phrase “pass- ed by the censor.” Such censoring, which will be administered with the atmost liberal regard for the private gharacter of the correspondence, will aot be as strict as the censorship over press matter. Therefore the papers of the country will be asked to exercise the greatest possible care about letters which might be submitred to them for publication by proud parents or friends. YOU CAN'T STOP GRIMES. Kance Corporal, Wounded For Sixth Time, Will Fight Again. Lance Corperal Ernest Grimes has ®een wounded again, his sixth time, But says, “I'll soon be ready to go back #nd do another-bit.” Grimes enlisted in %he regular army in 1910 and was @rawn from India when the little army settled ' down ‘te the: first winter of wench warfare. His first wound came at hill 60, when he was hit by a hand grenade fragment. Five months in a XNospital was his portion. The second, & bullet wound in the arm, took six Weeks to repair. Last summer on the Somme a shrapnel ball hit Grimes in fhe leg and put him away for two #ionths, and another grenade wound in the back, suffered in the fighting at Moquet Farm, sent him to the hospital for the fourth time. «“A man with four wound stripes is Wually retired into some noncembgtant gout of. danger if he is stilifof some o M h mm i taghch- him in the left log.
