The point may be worth considering. The decision, I feel sure, rests entirely with the public. If the public says: "Let the young men go, and give us more mature choristers for a while, and we will patriotically endeavour to endure the privation"—then all the young men will, of course, enlist as one. But unless the public says this they must remain in the choruses against the grain.
I am, Sir, Yours gratefully,
Over Age.
The Censor at Work.
Beneath a photograph of a naval officer The Daily Mirror says:—
"A daring raid has just been made by Commander Samson ... The small picture shows the commander."
Beneath the same photograph The Daily Mail says:—
"A famous British naval airman (nameless by order of the Censor)."
But the order of the Censor came too late. The Mirror had given the great secret away to the Kaiser, and the whole course of the war was altered.
