he car of all the Russias has
nfted the embargo upon news
dispatches from the Empire to
she foreign press, excepting that
censorship necessary during times
of war. For many generations
all news dispatches from Russia
have been subjected to the most
rigorous censorship and there has
been no chance for free speech
on the part of the press with ref
erence to Russian affairs. This
lifting of the censorship is re-
garded as the most important act
since the emancipation of serfs,
and it is believed that much and
lasting good will result to Russia
itself in the end. One important
effect will be the discrediting of
sensational messages by the
grapevine route that have been
given credit heretofore by the
very fact that they were snug
gled out of the country and es-
capped censorship. If the an
, pouncement be true, freedom of
speech outside Of Russia concern
ing Russia may be put down as
one of the achievements of the
present war. The same old GEN.
sorship is to be maintained over
news and opinions published by
newspapers within Russian ter
ritory but the outside world is
