RUSSIAN CONFIDENCE.
People Have Faith in Car in This
Crisis.

St. Petersburg. March 13.-The conf
dence displayed by the Russian people in
the report of the government on the pro-
gress of the fighting in the Far East is
one of the most notable features in Rus
STA of the war. 1t is largely due to an
entire change of policy inaugurated by
the Emperor some time age when he
established the censorship on foreign
newspapers dispatches. The action was
followed when the war broke out by the
EmperorS decision to make public as
fully as possible all reports regarding the
war in the belief that the loyalty of his
subjects would be strengthened by ac-
quainting them with the truth in victory
or defeat. 1t was an appeal to the sen
timental side of the Russian character.
which has been more than justified by the
llmoSt instantaneous effect.
Hitherto the government has consid-
cred 1t unwiSe to give the people infor-
nation freely at critical moments. and
the result was that the people, being pes
SimiStic, Were often inclined to imagine
things to be much worse than they really
We're.
The Associated Press is assured by a
high authority that all official teleg grams
in so far as their sense was concerned
and in most cases teXtualy. although
occasionally words have been changed
where the original words were subject to
case the words the enemy was at our
heels Were altered to read the enemy
was behind US" lest the original Ian
guage should give the ignorant the i'm
preston that the Russians were flying be-
fore the japanese.
Even the hahitual critics Of the gov
ernment have been aStonished at the
manner in which the authorities are TAX
ing the people into their confidence in the
war. and this policy of fair dealing would
seem to be uniting the nation as never be-
fore in her history.
Gen. Kuroratkins open warning to the
people in his speech to the municipal
council the other day not to expect too
much at first. but to exercise patience is
an evidence of the frankness with which
the people are being treated. The ut
