japanese journalism Is developing
on Western lines and with surprising
rapfdtty. The events of the present
war are responsible for extras which
are sold on the street in the American
fashion. The newsmen run barelegged
with a sort Of napkin around the head
and a small bell at the belt which
rings as they go.
When the war news is lively the
extras come out in correspondingly
lively manner. one after the other, ana
are literally patronized The sensa-
tonal reporter has appeared there, a.
