mitted to print the full terms, and
the people naturally look with suspii
cion on this act of censorship. Agis
tators have made the best possible
use of the reticence of the government
on the subject of the peace treaty,
and have been able to arouse the peo-
pie by means of insinuations and false
statements.
The newspapers with the exception
of the government organ, the Koku.
min, have taken the side of the mob.
and their u%tterances have been far
from pacific. One of the most radical
of these organs of the opposition, the
Niroku, has been suppressed. The
mobs have showed great ingenuity in.
opposing the police. BY starting DEM
onstartion in n part of the city
they would attract the Imperial
guards to that locality, leaving other
sections unprotected SO that they
could act with a free hand.
Another exampleIof the shrewdness
of the mob is quoted. Wire entangle-
ments were spread in the street. The
police were then tainted into making
an attack when the mob divided, al
lowing the policemen to rush among
the. wires. where they were quickly
tripped up. The mob then rushed
upon the officers. trampling them and
beating them. By the use of such tac-
tics the mobs have been able to great
