WAR AND PUBLICITY. TRAINING OF YOUNG OFFICERS.

At the Royal Artillery Institution, Woolwich, Inst month, Lord Riddell, lec- turing on the relations of the Press and the Army in the field, said that publicity was essential in modern warfare, and it' was necessary to make preparation in advance. He suggested that young officers should be trained in peace to perform work that would be necessary in collaboration with Pressmed in tim of war. There must be mutual under- standing, mutual goodwill and mutual agreement between them. Without that ne modern war could be successfully waged.

"In a recent address to the Royal United States Institution on the Relations of the Fress with the Army in the Field," Lord Riddell referred to a letter which Lord Northcliffe had written to him in 1913 on the appointment' of war correspondents at the front. At the suggestion of Lord Riddel, Lord North- eliffe has consented to the publication of the letter, the text of which is follows

My dear Sir George -d propós our conversation to-day. The vexed question of war correspondents is not a difficult one. The chief difficulty is that of get- ting writers and artists of distinction to do the work. So far as the English armies in France and Flanders are con- rerned, they want correspondents and, by the way, they want more newspapers and other rending matter.

**General French has come to the same opinion.ns the Germans, that war corres pondents are necessary to armies, first ax the German war book tells us, in order that the troops may read about the war in which they are engaged, and secondly, so that the public may know about their relations and friends and the war itself. I had the pleasure of a couple of days at General Fronch's headquarters, and discussed the subject with him, and wany Staff officers. If really good men can be obtained, there should be no difficulty in allowing responsible, fully accredited writers, artists, photographers, and cine- matograph operators, under the guitanes of some officer and proper censorship, to be with our various semies What the Germans can do we ought to be able to do. I do not suggest that they should be the same correspondents al the time, Because journalists do not write freshly if they are engaged in the same task. The selection night easily be left to you and the Newspaper Proprietors Associa tion..

There should certainly also be at Headquarters a permanent correspondent of Reuter's Agency, able to send out con- tradictions of the German lies at least as quickly as Doctor Hamann, issues his matter from Berlin. Tho Förnign Office is obviously anxious to counteract the effect of these meadacious reports in neutral countries. As to the French Army. I am informed that at Head- quarters they have no objection to such 4 permanent

the English correspondent, being with They have already recently adopted incans to circulate news af the French Army rapidly throughout the whole world. The attitude taken at the French Beadquarters was that, as far as the English Army is concerned, it is not their affair. General Joffre said, The English have done so much more than we could have expected that I have no right either to criticize or to suggest anything."

A member of his staff, who deals with these matters, said to me, during die course of a conversation which, I may i say, lasted five hours, We are, quite willing to receive writers of distinction, each preferably representing a syndicate of newspapers, and not one newspaper." I pointed out that such Cook's tours as the last one through the English and French lines are of bo use to anyone. He realized that, and said that if writers of distinction went they should have n much more leisurely experience. The telegram showed to you to-day was ask- ling me to get a certain famous corres

pondent.

It is essential that the War Office should understand that just as there are generals and generals, so there are writers and writers,

The process of getting correspondents to the front of the French Army appears to be as follows. The French Ambassador communicates with the Foreign Office in Paris, naming a correspondent, the Foreign Office passes on the name to the Headquarterstaff, and the necessary arrangements are then made. I thoroughly. understand General Joffro's objection to a miscellaneous crowd of newspaper. people, or hoy other people, hanging about his headquarters. I realize, as

I said to you to day, that a newspaper- man with an army is just as much of a uisance e a soldier would be in a news paper office. On the other hand, if the Government wish' to avoid strikes and to enlistin this war the services of the whole of the people, they should strain wary, nerve to get really distinguished writers to make the war what it is a matter of life or death to the nation.

I have written at some length because I have devoted considerable time and thought to the subject-Yours sincerely,

NORTHCLIFFE "

Sir George A. Biddell. April 20th 1915.

From a communication made by Lord Riddell to the NowspaperProprietors Association, on April 231015, it appears that extracts froid? this letter were read by him to Lord Kitchener, and influenced the decision of the military authorities ta sanction the appointment of Press representatives at the Froat.
