The Dail y Telegraph , of Thursday last contained an interesting " leader " on Freemasonry . The IP 7 tite / tall Review has reason to believe that the government expects it may be necessary to institute a species of censorship over telegrams sent by correspondents from the front . It is thought that the signature of a staff-officer may be required in order to

prevent the transmission of news that might be made available by the enemy . No restrictions , however , will , or indeed coulel , be placed upon the transmission of news by letter . The correspondents already off are Captain Charles Norman for the Times , Mr . Forbes for tile Daily News , Mr . Frederick Boyle for the Standard , and Mr . Phil . Robinson for the Daily Telegraph .
