George Gould, on Return from Euro pean Tour, Says Things About
 the Czar's Subjects.

George J. Gould returned on the Philadelphia from 4,0o0-mile auto mobile tour through Europe In the smoking room of the Philadelphia an American resident of Moscow spoke one evening of the Russian press cen- sorship.
 Through this censorship" he said, sthe war news has been perverted horribly. Repulses have been changed into advances, and routs into victor ies. Hence, on the occasion of dozen defeats, I have seen the deluded Rus sians, thinking they had won vic- tories, light big bonfires and caper about them joyously. Russia, when I left, offered the world the spectacle of defeats everywhere and fires of rejoic- ing everywhere"
 The Russians are like flints," said MT. Gould. The more you beat them the more fire they make"
