The reports about the Russian Bal
tic fleet being near such and such a
place, and the Japanese feet hasten
ing to meet II and do battle, are prob
ably both silly canards. Late and
reliable reports say that the Russian
feet is not and has not been in any
Madagascar port. showing that the
Russians are not such fools as to let
the world and the Japs know where
they are; besides, the Japs are not
lmbeciles enough to HE themselves
away on receipt of such reports on a
wild goose chase. The indications
are that the Russians will not do any
fighting on sea until they get ready.
and when they get ready they will
probably not have to get out a search
warrant for the enemy.
