ATCHDS fray Lieut Col. Repington, The World's British mili- tary correspapfent, who was with Gen. Pershing in the American advance on the St. Mihiel salient, show that the censorship in France has released matter of news value which das long been known to American correspondents but held as confidential information from the Commander in Chief. It has been Gen. Pershing’s plan to summon the correspondents to general headquarters at times and, as he expressed ft, “lay the cards on the table.” ° With astonishing frankness—but {n characteristi- cally American fashion—he has taken the correspon- dents into his inner confidence. He has told them of his difficulties, his problems, his plans, not for publi- cation but for their guidance in writing news of the war. In no other army has a similar course been pur- sued. In freedom of action, in knowledge of the mean- ing of ovents, in the value of intimate touch with ind!- viduals of the army from the highest in command to the greenest private, Amorican war correspondents have advantages en- joyed by no other journalists in Europe. To their credit it can be said that in only two instances have violations of their word of honor been recorded, and both these instances were technical violations, arising from indignation over censorship roles, The confidence of Gen. Pershing and bis officers has never been betrayed. Col, ington has opened the way ing to some or. of the war as it to the American forces and to bi remain America der command, He ys willing to utilize bis troops to the best advan- inside = Gen.
