The Spectator at war: Making heavy weather for the enemy

From The Spectator, 17 October 1914:

In view of the possibilities, naval and aerial, we cannot help thinking that it would be a good thing if our newspapers suppressed the weather forecasts and all information as to barometrical pressure, which are very probably communicated by wireless to our enemies. These forecasts are now exceedingly accurate, and we can well understand how useful it might be to the enemy to know what kind of weather they might expect when they reached British air. If the authorities think there is anything in the point, they will no doubt take it up. We feel perfectly sure that there will be no annoyance expressed either on the part of the Press or of the general public if they are deprived of weather forecasts. There is nothing which the authorities cannot have if they will only ask for it, prefaced by the statement that it is needful for the national defence.
