method has not been resorted to since

Berlin banking house of Menedelssohn a.

Why He Was Arrested.
In an interview yesterday n. Krustaletf
said:
1T is probable that a general strike
viii be declared just after Christmas
Delegates who were sent 10 all parts OF
the country report that the proposal for
q strike has been welcomed with enthu-
siasm, and, in fact. that the whole coun-
try is ripe for revolution. \ vast ma
jority of the workmen are true revolu-
tionares. though starvation sometimes
compels them to subordinate their pollt-
lea! aims. Preparation for an armed up
rising is well advanced. but il cannot
hope to succeed unless Joined by con-
siderable body OF troops The propagan-
da, however. has made such strides IN
the army that the TeYOlutiOnaFies are
justified in counting on sufficient support
from that source to ensure victory. The
peasants everywhere are willing TO join
cipal sufferers from oppression and eX-
cessive taxation, and have lost confidence
in the emperor. The revolutionaries have
their own postal and telegraph services,
through which they are able to keep in
touch with their organizers throughout
the empire"
Besides Krustaleff three other members
OF the workmen's council We're arrested.
\ strike has begun on the following rail-
road lines; Kursk Moscow * Sebastopoi:
Riga q Erloff kharkoff a. Nicolaieff;
Southwestern. Southeastern; Samara &
Siatousts Sizran & NiaSemsk.

THEY HAD A CLEVER SCHEME.
How Japanese Correspondents Sent
Their Gable Messages.
(Washington Star.l

There are not many people who can
get ahead of a telegraph company"
said a correspondent who has just come
back to Washington from Portsmouth,
but ] suspect that the japanese cor
respondents managed it during the
peace conference. You know that cable
rates to Japan are pretty heavy, and
there was as much as S1.25 a word paid
on some of the urgent messages, while
about 50 cents was the lowest press
rate. The correspondents were send
ing a lot of matter, and, of course, the
Japanese messages had to be transla-
ted in a way before they could be sent.
The Morse code can't cope with the
$1,000 ideographs that the Jap language
is made up of, so the Jap correspond
ents used 10 write the messages phonet-
ically in English characters and send
their messages in that way. They were
read of and transferred to japanese
type in Tokyo. OF course, the telegraph
company could not read them. and as
the limit in size for q cable word IS
fifteen letters, the Japs used to divide
their messages up regularly into Eng
fish letters in blocks of fifteen. No
word was ever longer or shorter than
fifteen letters. and the cable company
had to take it that way and stand
for it,
THE chief operator used to kick and
complain OCCASIONALLY, but he could
not go back of the explanation that
each of the fifteen-letter groups was a
Japanese word spelled phOnetically.
But he sWore japanese was the most
queerly regular language he ever saw.
OF course. the cable bills were pretty
high at that.
But the cable company probably
made less out of the Japanese than
they did out Of any of the other CORE
spondents. The Russian alphabet is
made up of non-English letters, but it
can be sent in Morse. and there are
some operators who could do II, though
the most Of the Russian messages were
written either in French or English"
1T is a wonder to me-" said a state
department clerk, who was listening to
the story, that the a3s did not use
their code book. At least there is one
in China, and / suppose there is one
i'm Japan. You know. the Chinese char
acters cannot be cabled any more than
can the Japanese, but they get over
that difficulty by having in every Chi
nese telegraph Office a simple code, in
which the message is written with nu-
meraIs. Each page of the code book is
divided into tifty-eight squares, num-
beTed in sequence, and IN each square
is a Chinese word, the conmoner words
coming among the lower numbers.
When the telegram is written the send
or simply puts down the number of
the square in place of the word ii con-
tains. and the message is decoded in
the same way at the other end. There
are 5000 words. and that is enough for
the average vocabulary of the man who
wants 10 send a telegram. / do not
know whether this method would have
been cheaper than the fifteen-letter
scheme of the correspondents, but it is
possible if they had used the code the
company would have cut them down to
| hve figures for each word, as that is
the limit on code messages.
