JAPAx.s SYSTEM OF CENSORSHIP

JAPAS's SYSTEM OF CENSORSHIP.
There Is nothing more remarkable il
the history Of this war than the per.
fiction OF the system OF censorship by
which the Japs Kept their movements
secret. 1t reached as high a state Of
perfection ss the sanitary system, which
was the greatest surprise that tie med
leo, world ever had. When the history
OF the var Is written by IN expert, he
will give to this censorship the impor-
tsnos that it deserves. II saved more
lives than did the doctors with their
superb safeguards against disease. and
yet they reversed the rule Of MAJ by
rendering the microoe less devastating
than the bullet. II the secrecy OF the
movements Of the army any navy had
not been Is strict as it was, battles that
were Won would have been lost; a; any
rate, the Russians would have been tore
warned and prepared. In the matter Of
the censorship The Japs exhibited great
geDius, for it was not to be expected
that they would anticipate the cores
pondenis, never having had much eI.
penence with the AnglO.SaxOn methods
Of journalism. And their task was a
peculiarly difficult one, Tor they were
eager 70 refrain from dong anything
that would occasion adverse sentiment
In America or in England. To offend
the correspondents would be to invite
abuse in the presa. Hence their exercise
OF Oriental tact by which the cores
pondents were coddled and cozened. II
was by reason OF the secrecy Of his
movements that Togo WAS able to give
the Baltic fleet its qulelus. For weeks
before ~Roiestvensky entered the Straits
OF Korea the world was in ignorance Of
the whereabout OF Togo. IT was thought
that be vas evadinR the Issue. In the
London Saturday Review OF May
twentieth it WIS stated that according 10
the Times Roiestyensky would soon f!ud
himself in V~ladivostok; that Admiral
BiriloG was leaving 81. Petersburg to
meet Admiral Rojestvenky in order to
take command in Vladiyosiok aud re-
