JAPANESE CENSORSHIP.
Extreme Secrecy Absolutely Necessary
for Their Success

A cablegram from London says: In ref
erence to the severity Of the censorship
exercised by the Japanese government
over the news dispatches of foreign cor
respondents, Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain said to the Asso-
ciated Press:
Il have had numerous representations
from English and other newspapers upon
this subject. but 1 believe that our posi-
ton in the is not only right but will

the uniforms of the soldiers of the pal

what they wanted. An officer told him
that the Sultan wanted al, the sardines
in his establishment. The Englishman
woke up his assistant, and they load
ed up a wagon with boxes OF saTdines
and sent it off with the guards. Next
morning the Englishman appeared at
the Palace and presented his bill While
waiting for his check one OF the seere-
taries of the Sultan told him what had
happened This assistant secretary

Clothes Are russian.

Speaking of Japan and Russia, al
though as a nation the United States
seems largely in sympathy with Japan
in the present war, fashionable society
will be made to express its sympathy
with the larger country or cease to be
fashionable when it comes to the mat
ter of spring clothes, as all the lead
ing modistes are unanimous in an
nouncing that all manner of garments
and ornaments from Paris, the center
of fashion, have a distinct Russian
stamp. This delicate compliment from
France to her ally on the north, has
brought about a complete revival of
Russian blouses Russian embroideries,
Russian beads. Russian cloaks, and
some bold milliners say even Russian
hats. 1t is doubtful, however. whether
American women will generally accept
the latter very trying headgear. Some
French modistes go so far as to place
Japanese. silks and crepe de chimes UNI
der the ban, and declare that these
fabrics, however, beautiful, shall not
be employed in the making of any
Paris costumes.
