SECRECY FROM JAPS.
Naval Officers Have First Lesson i
Mystery at Joint War Exercises.

mystery at JOINT war Exercises.
Washington, d. c. Tune 22.-President
Roosevelt has been profoundly impressed
by the success of the Japanese in keeping
the outside world in Ignorance of their
naval policies and tactics. Talking with
American naval officers he has
ed on the success of the japanese In this
respect, aud word has gonc forth that
nothing would please the chief executive
better than for the officers of this navy
TO emulate the Japs. Laxity OF speech in
discussing the ships. equipments and plans
is TO be forbidden. s.
The first lesson in the art of cnshroud-
Ing in n cloak OF mystery all facts con-
nected with our warShips was adIhtnis-
tered to officers in Admiral Dickens
fleet that attacked the defenses OF Bal
timore and Washington. The strictest
secrecy prevailed. Secretary Morton re-
fused all applications from spa
for permission TO station reporters on
the vessels of Admiral Dickens feet.
The freedom that has always been
permitted in the public inspection of
American warships, navy yards, and
naval stations has lately come to be
a cause of some worry on the part OF
conservative officers of the service.
They think II is a big mistake to take
the world into our confidence In regard
to these and other important war mat
tiers, The Japs hav opened their eyes
to the advantage of an opposite policy
by the remarkable course which the
little brown men pursued during their
war with Russia. One OF the direct
results of the caution of the japanese
Is the movement TO get rid OF all Japa-
nese sailors and mess bows now In the
United States navy. r
