2. The Poilus and the civils against the
censorship
During the World
War 1 the Poilus
were not autorised
to sing songs
when the songs
says that the war
is bad, otherwise
they were
punished or
executed. But,
they could sing
songs who says
that the war is
good.
At the beginning of the war, the censorship was so much
present that the civils didn't had the access of a lot of
informations, and crazies rumours circulated. Little by
little, a system of propaganda has been implemented by
the state : the information was invented by military
journalists for that the civils do donations for the army or
for going the people feel better.
In Nantes, a municipal acree of the 1st of August 1914
order the closing down of the theaters, singing coffees
and prohibite all the spectacles. The town hall be afraid
of troublesat the public order. Yet, seeing that the re-
opening of theaters in the others cities don't cause
problems, the town hall decide to do indentifical on the
6th of march 1915.

interest toward these two objectives. The autorities give
officials instructions for that the teachers get by the book.
