The Press and the Censorship in England and France.

A correspondent who begins his war experience in France gets very soon a different external impression of the scope and methods of the censorship from the one he would be likely to receive if he began his observations in England. French newspapers, as every one who knows France will recall, are regularly much smaller than the ordinary daily journals of England or America. Rather oddly, they often find place for a serial story, and the quantity of advertising matter, while small in the aggregate, is often large in proportion to the size of the paper. As a consequence, news of all sorts must be presented in the briefest compass, and only events of the greatest momentary importance or interest can be set forth with even tolerable fullness.
