The Courtesy of The Admiral.
Japan's Reputation for Politeness Not
Damaged by the War.


From time mmemorial the Japa-
nese have been trained in pohteness,
and since the country was opened to
European intercourse the courtesy of
the islanders has been proverbial.
When 1t was said that they had been
So impoite as to fire on Russian war
ships without giving proper notice,
tie surprise of the world was, there
fore, great. To be sure, such action
might easily be defended on the
ground that in time OF war the gen
eral who politely gives notice to the
enemy of everything he is going to do
will get left; but sill, there was 4
great cutlery in Russia, and among
Russian sympathizers, that the Japa-
nese had been ''treaeherous."
Russia has now admitted that she
fred the first shot of the war herself.
Moreover, Admiral Uriu gave notice
that there would be trouble in the
near future. We are told that on
Tuesday morning he warne,, the Rus
slams in Chemulpo, by land and sea,
that the squadron must come out by
noon or be attacked. The Russian
ships started out at II 80 O'Clock,
and a few minutes later the first shot
was fired on the KorietZ by aecI-
dent," so Russia says. But war does
lot take account of accidents. espe-
cially when a country behaves IL such
very accidental manner as Russia
has thus far.
There are two things which the
Russian authorities will do well 10
bear in mind. One is that big coun-
Try which is continually pleading the
baby act Is not going TO have the sym
patty OF the world IN any interna-
tional struggle. The other is that war
rews is not subject to Russian censor
ship. and that with a hundred news
paper correspondents, alert, able, and
determined. on and near the scene of
action. the truth about the war viii
come out IN time.
