with the realization OF the entanteS

Experience in Past Wars.

The report gives instances Of military
successes resulting from information
CLEANED from the press during past
wars In the Crimean war the Rus
slams, 1t is stated, gained very reliable
information regarding the works in the
trenches of the allied armies and the
progress of the siege of Sebastopol
from the English newspapers. In the
American civil war Sherman's march
to the sea was simplified as result
of articles printed in southern news
papers, which newspapers fell into the
hands of the Union commander.
In 1870 Maj. Krause of the German
stan was able by means of French
newspapers to ascertain the compost
ton and etrategical disposition Of all
the French corps. In 1870 also Mar
shall McMahon's attempt to relieve Metz
was rendered disastrous as a result Of
articles in the French and English
newspapers. In the Spanish war. it is
stated, the American army officers were
able by careful reading of the principal
Spanish newspapers to get accurate in
formation concerning the Spanish
forces and their supplies.
Details are given of the censorship
systems of the various European ma
lions in the present war, as well as
that exercised by Japan in the Russo
Japanese war. More space is given to
the British system than to any of the
others, the reason being that Great
Britain's experience must be of greater
interest to US, as conditions there are
more nearly similar to our own"
The confusion in the censorship that
existed at the beginning of the war in
England was due, 1t Is pointed out, to
| the inexperience of the censors and to
| the lack of a proper system These
shortcomings, it is added, have been
| partly remedied. :,

MEANT $500,OO0 A YEAR
Preference to Dairymen Shipping In
Full Cars Over Those Sending Less
Than Carload Lots Is Also Found to
Be Unlawful.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Proposed in
creased rates over New England railroads
on milk, cream and their products were
found not justified today by the interstate
commerce commission.
The increases would have given the car
rlers about S500,o00 a year in additional
revenue. Rates in other sections will be
passed upon later. Regulations OF the
New England roads giving rate preference
to dairymen leasing cars over those ship
ping in less than carload lots were found
unlawful by the commission and the car
rlers were directed to establish scale of
rates on per can basis and to prescribe
lower rates Tor transportation of these
commodities in freight cars on freight
trains
The commissions opinion deals largely
with shipments to the metropolitan dis
trlcts OF Boston and says it is poor econ
omy to allow the leased car system to en-
courage dalrymen in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine at the expense of
those in adjacent territory
