How Japan Shut Off News.

Japan was the first nation completely
to take control of the press In the
early days of her war with Russia edi-
tors OF Japanese newspapers were ex-
pressly prohibited from publishing the
details regarding the organization, mo-
Utilization or transportation of their
country's naval and military forces. A
warning was addressed to them en-
phasizing the power of the press to mar
plans Of operations, instances being
cited from the Chinese japanese war
Of lS94-95. and an appeal was made to
their patriotism to suppress any infor-
nation which. however interesting to
the public. might be of use to the
enemy or give him the least indica-
ton of Japanese intentions or move
ments. How Loyalty the Japanese press
had responded to this appeal is proved
by the impenetrable mystery which
shrouded the movements of Admiral
Togo's ships and the marches of Mar
shall Oyama's armies.
The treatment of foreign newspaper
correspondents by the Japanese Is well
expressed in a cartoon of London Punch.
which pictured a Japanese officer blind
folding a correspondent and as remark
ing. "Abjectly we desire to distinguish
honorable newspaper man by honor
able badge" The blindfolding of the
foreign correspondents caused much i'll
feeling against Japan, and was ex-
pressed in many articles published after
these correspondents returned to their

Secondly criticism of the conduct Of

Correlation of Opposing Interests.
The right correlation Of these opposing
interests will furnish the solution of the
proper relationship between the army and

different political parties. the numerous
telegraph. cable lines and wireless sta
lions furnishing means Of communication
within and without the country, the diff
Guilty of proper control is very great
II IS known from the statements of
prominent newspaper men that the re-
sponsible press associations and news
papers will meet the government half
way in this matter
In 1913 J. c. O'Laughlin delivered
lecture before the Army War College
In which he advocated publicity for
the army in peace, but in time of war
a censorship SO strict, so thorough
that the operations of the armies, in
Guiding the units composing them,
would not even be referred to in the
press" In that twilight zone" between
the above two conditions. when prepa-
ratlons for hostilities accompany diplo-
matte negotiations to avoid war. he
would have the War Department ap-
peal TO press associations and news
papers. conservative and yellow, to
print no information respecting mobi-
lization. movements and anything
which might affect injuriously our
operations" He read letters from Mel
vile E. Stone. general manager of the
Associated Press; James Kelley. gen
eral manager of the Chicago Tribune,
and Frederick Palmer, all indorsing
censorship and expressing belief that
the selection of the right kind of war
correspondents would make censorship
possible.

Maj. Macarthur, Recently Ap-

TELLS HOW SITUATION
is HANDLED IN EUROPE
Cites Instances of Military Successes
Resulting From Information
Cleaned From Newspapers.

Maj. Douglas Macarthur. U. S. A. the
recently appointed censor of the War
Department. has prepared a memoran-
dunn on the influence of the press in the
conduct of the war, which has been
made public at the War Department,
and which is of interest in connection
with the bill recently sent to Congress
by the army general staff to provide for
a press censorship to be put in effect
when needed.
Much interesting information has
been collated by Maj. Macarthur re-
lating to instances of military sue
cesses resulting from information
CLEANED from the press during past
years. He discusses the Crimean war,
the American civil war, the Franco
Prussian war of 1870, the Spanish
American war, the control of the press
by Japan in the RusSo-Japanese war
and the control of the press by the
present European belligerents. He
quotes Melville E. Stone. general man
ager of the Associated Press, and
others, indorsing a censorship in time
of war as being a suitable and patriotic
measure. from the newspaper point of
view.

German Control of Press.

Germany, as in all matters of prep
aration, was forehanded in her laws,
and it was only necessary to issue the
necessary decree or orders prohibiting
the publication of military informa-
ton. While guarding the publication
of useful military information, she has
used the press to her advantage by
permitting carefully conducted tours
to the front of accredited newspaper
men, especially neutral correspondents.
and permitting them to publish inter-
esting human interest" stories, con-
tanning nothing Of value to the enemy.
There are two ways in which the press
has direct influence on the success OF
the army:

Getting Data on Spanish Troops.


During the Spanish war the success
of the Cuban expedition of May. 1898,
was seriously menaced by the news in
the American press concerning the con-
centration at Tampa. Every military
movement was reported in the Ameri-
can newspapers. and the Spanish gov
eminent had within two or three hours
complete accounts of the American
preparation for war.
AS an example of the Importance of
of military movements the following
may be related:
When it became evident to our mill
tary information division. in 1897, that
war was certain to occur between the
United States and Spain an attempt
was made to discover not only the
numbers but the garrisons Of the
Spanish army in Cuba. This was an
extremely difficult task. because there
was little, if any, direct information
upon the subject, the Spanish govern
ment having. so far as known, dis
continued the practice of announcing
in orders the departure of troops for
the island. But the division was sub
scriber to the chief Spanish newspapers
both before the war and during its
progress. In these newspapers men,
ton would be made now and then of
an action at such and such a place in
Cuba, the name of the regiment and
battalion being given.
By carefully compiling such mentions
during space of time extending over
many months the military inform ton
division was enabled to arrive at a real
ly accurate estimate of the strength of
the. Spanish forces in Cuba with their
supplies of ammunition and other re-
sources, and. moreover, enabled to state
the composition of the various garri-
sons scattered throughout the island.
This information naturally was of the
very greatest value to our government.
1t would have been of still greater
value had land operations in Cuba last
ed. Now. most of this information was
gathered. already said, from the
newspapers. but not FROM formal state
ments of the departure of troops. Civ
ing their number, destination and regi-
ment or other unit, but from the most
casual, and, as 1t were, accidental men
ton of the regiments and actions in the
| island by the Madrid papers from time
to time. These mentions were so broken
in character that it perhaps never oc-
CURED to the Spanish that they could
be made the solid foundation of ac-
curate information as to the strength
of Spanish garrisons in the island but
slight and insignificant as these data
were, taken item by item, they, never
thelesS, were made to yield a most i'm
portant result; thing that would have
been impossible had the Spanish press
been totally silent on the subject of the
troops serving in Cuba. Subsequent
events showed that these estimates
were almost exactly correct

Need of Strict Censorship.

When other means have failed and
army and navy are the only agencies of
the government by which it can obtain
it's desired ends. They become para
mount and every utility and influence
within the country should be brought
to their aid.
The press. powerful in peace, may be-
come more SO in war. BY it's editorials
the people for or against the war and
thus stimulate recruiting and hearten
and encourage the fighting forces in
their work or. by adverse criticism,
may tend to destroy the efficiency of
these agencies.
Again, by publishing news of the
movements and numbers of our own
troops valuable information can be con-
veyed to the enemy
In the American civil war the north
ern generals obtained exact and val
liable information through the Confed-
crate papers. After the fall of Atlanta,
Jefferson Davis, speaking at Macon and
Palmetto stated that measures had
been taken in Tennessee and Kentucky
to cut off Sherman's supplies from the
north. and that having an army in his
front and rear, in a hostile land, he
must be annihilated. These speeches.
published in the southern and repro
duced in the northern press, soon
reached Sherman. Acting on this in
communication free, the Federal gem
eral began his famous march through
Georgia to the sea. The reports of his
successful progress which appeared in
the southern press enabled Grant to
send supplies to meet him at the coast.
