PROGRESS OF JAPAN'S
WAR ON GERMANY

lOhiO, oCl. A.-odp dpdil has lioW pCSH
at war with Germany for one week,
thereby carrying out Japane's part of
Eer treaty of alliance with Great
Britain and it iss practically certain
that active preparations for the con-
flict have been going on for more
than twice that length of time. But
outside official circles no one in the
capital has the slightest idea of what
.Japan's war moves have been. 1t is
certain that troops must nave been
concentrated and probable that many
are row on transports bound for the
mainland of China.
They may even now be attacking
Using Tau, the objective of Japan's
movements in the Far East. 1t IS
equally certain that warships have
been mobilized and that many of them
are in the vicinity of Using Tau.
But of all this the public here
knows nothing, the Japanese being as
much at sea as the foreigners. Every
movement has been so carefully
guarded, such strict regulations have
been enforced to present the publica-
ton Of anything concerning Japan's
army or her fleet, that everything has
been accomplished in absolute seq
recy.
No one reading the newspapers Of
Japan would gain any idea that the
country was at war nor would the
most curious visitor see any evidences
of military or naval preparations.
The peculiar part of the situation is
that there are not even rumors. With
in the past two weeks l have heard
only one scrap of information about
the Japanese army and navy. That
slender fact was that the japanese
navy was placing large orders for oil.
No Japanese warships are mentioned
in any way and the newspapers ignore
the existence of the japanese army.
Foreigners coming to Tokyo from
all parts of the country are unable to
add anything to the meager knowledge
we have. A few of them have seen
what appeared to be detachments of
troops moving in the distance.
Others have told of heavy railway
traffic at night which might betoken
secret mobilization, but absolutely no
one has been able to give any definite
information. The troops in and near
Tokyo seem to have disappeared dur
ing the past few days, but no one
knows where they have gone.
While the authorities have taken all
these precautions to prevent the pub
lie learning anything about the war
preparations, there are equally string
ent regulations to prevent newspaper
correspondents from sending out any
stray bit of news they may get
hold of.
As during the Russo-Japanese war
rigid censorship has been established
and the censors take no chances on
messages which do not contain Off
cial announcements made by the
Japanese government.
The exasperating feature of the
censorship is that the correspondents
are never notified of the fate of their
messages. But the newspaper cores
pondents feel that the censorship IS,
after all, an unnecessary institution,
for where there is no news there is
no need for a censor.
