SECRECY ENVELOPS POSITION

London, Aug. 19.-While Japan
has borrowed most of her military
science from Europe, she taught the
west. in return, the enormous value
OF secrecy lin warfare. All the pow
ers engaged in the European death
have learned that lesson.
Reports from Belgium say that
the German prisoners have no re-i-
mental insignia on their uniforms,
and have been instructed to refuse
information as to what regiments
they are attached. In 1870 the Eng
lish newspa pers gave full accounts
Of the German and French regiments.
where they were and what regiments
com posed each army The commands
and personalities Of all the leading
generals were widely known,
Over ell these details the armies
engaged in the war theater in western
Europe, exceIt perhaps the Belgian,
have folded Va shroud of mystery

the greatest parts IN the drama. The
public knows almost nothing about
