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.

This article focuses on prevailing political conditions the U.S. and around the world, as of May 18, 1899.

Another development focuses on the subject of the taxation of securities and other paper evidences of ownership in or claims against corporations.

England has just passed through one of the most amazing crises of her history. The strength of labor has faded like smoke before the massed forces of capital and government. The Triple Alliance, on paper the most powerful body in the world of labor, has failed on the eve of action. Close to a million miners, sullen and stupefied by the turn of events, are continuing their fight alone and the government is curtailing none of its emergency precautions. To students of the industrial situation emergence of serious trouble was assured when at the end of February the government announced its intention of removing wartime control of the coal industry on March 31, five months ahead of the date originally appointed by statute.

The article presents political updates of the world, as of September 21, 1901. The attempt on U.S. President William McKinley's life at Buffalo, New York, on Friday last touched, as it could not fail to do, the national feeling, instantly and deeply. Nor could any moral and humane person hesitate to denounce without reservation the infamy of a crime not to be excused were the victim the meanest, instead of the most exalted, citizen. In another update, in considering the interesting paper of the Oxford, England correspondent, of the journal "Observer," on the causes of imperialism in England, the first thing that occurs to people is that Imperialism, Megalomania, or Jingoism, though there is a sudden access of it at present, is by no means so new a thing as "Observer," seems to assume.

No sooner do Americans stop taking advertising seriously--those at least who read the "American Mercury," and the cynical paragraphers of the daily papers -- than Britishers fall into the dismal habit. The English reviews reported the International Advertising Convention recently held at Wembley, England with a reverence that was depressing. Writer Loe Strachey's leading editorial in the "Spectator," was respectful enough to herald at least a second Milton. "The Manchester Guardian," issued a resplendent supplement in black and gold in honor of the convention. And them source of all this eloquence, the convention itself. A sample of its deliberations, part of an address on church advertising is presented.

The article presents information about various political and social developments in the U.S. Amidst general enthusiasm, England grants a constitution and dominion status to Malta.

Thompson of Chicago, the owner of a string of restaurants which bear his name, has inserted an advertisement in the Chicago papers offering one thousand dollars to anyone who will give him one good reason for the private manufacture of revolvers in the U.S. and for the use of the mails by the manufacturers.

This article presents information on political, economic and social issues. The refusal of the English Government to allow Newfoundland, apart from Canada, to negotiate a trade convention with the United States is but an added embarrassment in what was already a complicated and difficult question. The fine of $5,000 imposed by the English court upon the London correspondent of a New York paper, for sending a scandalous and false "special cable despatch" to the U.S. about an actress, is likely to have a depressing effect upon a flourishing international newspaper industry.

The article gives information on various socio-political issues of the different parts of the world. The Army Bill passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a vote of 166 to 133, a number of Democrats voting in the affirmative.

Lord Morley of Blackburn, the honest John Morley of old, we now discover, left a memorandum among his papers, telling the story of his resignation from the Asquith Government at the outbreak of the World War. This has just been published by his nephew and literary executor, Guy Morley. Short as it is, the memorandum is indeed weighty and illuminating. But once the die was cast, we are told Lord Morley felt that no advantage could be gained from public utterances. He was therefore content to write down for posterity the principles, opinions, and impressions on which he acted.

In London, England, one hears, there is to be a new daily paper. The title and promoters are a secret, but the journal Outlook publishes extracts from the advance notices, from which he, too, has made extracts. People think it an unnecessary tradition that journalists should write muddily, ungrammatically, and in a style never seen outside Salisbury Square. No one connected with the new journal, say the promoters, need expect to get rich. And this is well, for he suspects that the percentage of reasonable persons on this ridiculous, irresponsible whirligig people inhabit is not high.

The author says that the more London, England grows, the smaller it becomes. Within the decennium 1901-1911 there was a net loss of more than half a million persons by migration from the administrative county of London, England.

An, according to one philosopher, is a forked radish in bifurcated garments. To a child asking what this means one might answer, "Man is a vegetable who walks around, wears pants, and tries to look important." This of course would not cover the case of `the British Ambassador, Lord Halifax, riding in a private car with his entourage from Washington to Philadelphia. Then, as though it might help win the wax, Halifax gets up on a horse and rides in a fox hunt, and is photographed for the press, and gives out the word that he is fox-hunting in the U.S. about the same as he fox-hunts in England.

For diplomatists and statesmen of England, it has not been the inspiration among the inheritors of the liberal traditions of England. For them Zionism is right in itself. They see 2,000 years of persecution and ostracism, 2,000 years of intolerance. State and church, their enemies too, have united in the age-long persecution of a race. They see Zionism not only as a city of refuge for the oppressed, but one which they and England have taken a share in building. It is a credit to them. It is their amende, a gesture in the face of the liberal nations of continental Europe.

The article discusses birth control. The Fifth International Birth Control Conference in London, England had a clear-cut agenda. Here were assembled a few score of enthusiasts, gathered from Europe, Asia, and America, intent on effecting a fundamental change in human conduct, and thus scoring a victory over forces of nature which, unchecked, have brought upon mankind miseries of unemployment, destitution, famine, and war. If human history really consists in the emergence, promulgation, and triumph of ideas, historians will have to take note of birth control as one of the ideas that make revolutions in human conduct and conditions. Three years hence, when the Sixth International Birth Control Conference meets at Portland, Oregon, in accordance with the invitation given by the American Birth Control League, it will be easier to gauge the real importance of the London meetings.
