STEAMSHIP NAOATO MARU. Some
where In the Inland Sea, Monday, April 4,
1304. (Special Corrpsjiondence to the New
Tork Herald Sp-clal to The BetJy It
hardly seems credible, but we are actually
off to the front. After nine of the weariest
weeks of waiting that were ever put In by
anybody the Japanese military authorities
have finally given the word.
"It Is too early," said Oeneral Fukus
hlma, when he was communicating to the
committee of correspondents the joyous
fact, "but"
That "but" marked the turning point.
The worm had performed his famous act.
The distinguished gentlemen who control
the destinies of the Japanese army men,
and any others who happen to come under
their Jurisdiction, as we had to do, had
been playing a very merry game of "pass
the buck" with us. They were always
extremely polite. There could be absolutely
bo fault with their demeanor toward us,
and we had striven to reciprocate. If any
man showed occasionally a slight disposi
tion to be anxious about the time (when
he was to go to the front there would be
a gentle homily on the extraordinary virtue
of patience, which usually curbed his feel
ings. After a time the game became in
teresting for Itself. There arose a natural
curiosity to see how many times the buck
could go round before the pot would be
bpenod.
Thirteen or fourteen stages preceded the
eruption that finally brought action. First
was tha struggle to get regulations Issued
governing the permission to correspondents
to go to the front That took two week.
Immediately upon their issuance the appli
cations of the men who were waiting poured
In upon the authorities. Another wait of
two weeks brought the greatly desired
passes, but attached to each was a slip
which advised the holder that it would be
necessary for him to apply to the general
staff for tha designation of the column
which he was to accompany. The Japanese
are not going to do as our army did and
let the newspaper men go where they liked
when they pleased. We are assigned to
particular places, and there we must stay.
While we were waiting for the designa
tion of the column there were plenty of
things to occupy attention. To begin with,
General Fukushlma, who has charge of the
arrangements for foreign correspondents
and military attaches, allotted arbitrarily
the number of newspaper men who would
be permitted Jo accompany the First army.
There were to be five' Americans and eight
British, with one German and one French
man, this being proportionate to the num
bers of each nationality who had made
their applications. When he had deter
mined the number that were to go, he asked
the men' of the British and American con
tingents to determine the personnel among
themselves. As there were only five Amer
loans thqn in sight It was not difficult for
them to agree, and long experience in the
matter of precedence enabled the Britishers
to fix their list quickly. So the delay af
forded by this expedient was not great,
and we were all promptly requesting Sambo
Horabu, as the Japanese call their general
eta-ftr'to Ihfortn us' when we would ' be
permitted to go forward.
The matter of the canteen bad almost
exhausted Itself by this time, but there
appeared a new opportunity for shoving the
buck along In the unwillingness of two or
three of the correspondents to agree to
tha con trnct - Various objections were
raised by them, but the War office Indi
cated very clearly, after some discussion,
that It desired the contract signed,' and
that cans of delay was removed. Mean
time there was constant pressure for defi

the war would be ended by May. Without
a smile the aid replied: "I will ask Baron
Kodama"
Thla officer did aubsequently, however,
express an opinion of hi own on the mat
ter that most vitally concerned us. He
waa replying to a strong letter of protest
which had been sent to hi chief. When
he had finished with the formalities in
volved he added, off his own bat: '
"I think men of great patience wtll be
crowned with an Invaluable reward and
unfathomable blessing by heaven."
But not a word a to what tha war
office waa going to do for us. A day or
two afterward the emperor opened the
aesslon of the Diet, and we all had tick
eta Next day tha recipient of this advice
as to patience called at the war office
and waa received by the officer who gave
It X
"Did you see the emperor yesterdayT"
asked the officer.
"Yes," was the reply.
"I think that was one reward," said the
officer. Then he added that It would be
another to aee the wonderful cherry blos
soms of Japan.
During all this time tha only response
there waa to the multiplied questions a
to when we could go was tha stereotyped
"very soon." More than a month ago
Oeneral Ishlmoto, the vice minister of
war, summoned all the newspaper men
to a conference and addressed them upon
their opportunities, duties and the regu
lations for their government while with
the Japanese army. At the same, time
he cheered their drooping spirits by Bay
ing: "The 'day of your departure 1 very
near."
This "very eoon," however, developed a
broad Indeflnltenesa. It really did seem,
though, that there would be action of
aome aort soon, when tha contractor waa
notified to aend forward the. horae and
heavy baggage of the men assigned to the
first column. There was a scurrying around
the hotel that day, which created quite an
appearance of the real thing. The ' horses
were sent away with the grooms, and most
of the men prepared to follow them the
next day. But still the passes had not
been designated, and Oeneral Fukushlma
aald we ahould have two or three days'
notice. To questions as to whether we
ahould be aafe In making a little aide ex
cursion to Nlkko or Myanoahlta, however,
It waa alwaya Intimated that we had better
remain in Toklo. 1
Finally one glad day a notice appeared
on the bulletin board at the hotel saying
that passes of men assigned to the First
army should be handed In at the War
office by noon of the next day for designa
tion. Thereupon the men flew at their kits
for a last inspection and overhaul and
began to pack up to go. But when the
passea came back the next day there had
merely been Inserted the words "First
army," to which we had . all known for
weeka that we were assigned. Still there
was no Indication of the date of departure.
We were told that that would be given a
little later, but "very soon." But a little
later the word we got was that we could
take a four days' holiday.
Aa Insurrection.
Then it waa that we began to recall what
It waa befell the greatest example of pa
tience ever recorded, and how a plague of
bolls was the least of Job's troublea Tha
volcanlo fires that had been smouldering
for some time began to evince signs of
increasing energy, and It did not require
a discerning man to aee that an eruption
waa Impending. There was no longer "the
effort to smile and look cheerful when talk
ing to the Japanese officials, and the little
Joke about "very soon" fell . upon unap
preclatlve ears. Mild mannered men began
to plot-rudeness and thoae full, of atrat
egems and. schemes gathered In knots and
discussed conspiracies. '' - ' !;
It waa an Kngllshman who started the
eruption. Everybody's patience gave way
apparently at the same time and with no
attempt at concert, but the Englishman
happened to be the first one to call at the
war office after the breakdown. What
he aald to the aid of the assistant chief
of staff may one day be 'written In a book,
for It la worthy to be embalmed, but just
now it la not polltio to reveal the truths
thus thrust upon thoaa unwilling ears.
The astonished aid had no . more tha n

truder than another came along. That
evening the aid attended ( a large reception
given by one of the dlplomallo corps, and
there - he met In torn - nearly1 every one
of the men assigned to the first army,
and several others who were not No man
missed the chance to announce that he
bad turned Insurgent The honeyed words
of peaceful and hopeful days were for
gotten or left behind. Vocabularies that
evening consisted - only of strong words
descriptive of strong feeling. It was all
summed up in the remark of one man
who 1 not going to the front at all. He
aald:
"When these men came out here every
one of them was your friend, but you havo
alienated every one of them, and now
when they go home they will never see a

So It went throughout tha evening. From
generals to second lieutenants tha JapaT

They had landed an army of more than
40,000 men, and were In contact with the

word came back of the appearance here
and there of the Russian scouts. There
waa no longer any pretense that tha Rus
sians were not aware of their position and
of what they were doing. But there waa
a pretense that tha Russians might derive
information as to the Japanese move

American and British newspapera. It wa

nese.
But be that aa It may, tha talk that even
ing, the evidence that tha eruption had
come, had Ita effect "very soon." It was
not yet 10 o'clock the next momlng when
one of the British military attaches met an
English correspondent In the hotel and said:
i ou chaps must have been raising a
dust yesterday. They are going to let you
to."
It waa quite true. Word wa aent down
from Sambo Hombu asking one English
man and one American to com up at I
that afternoon, and It wu to these two
that Oeneral Vukushlma spoke whoa he Bald
it nsu too early to let us go, but
Wa ware to be allowed to go oa either

mined that tha armv could not transport
ua, or the men themselvea, with no, bag
gage and without their interpreters, could
go on a government transport With one
accord everybody chose the government
transport, and the use of thla ahlp Is merely
to take us to the place where tha transport
lies, designated In all Japanese reports aa
a "certain place."

We are stowed all together In a cabin
where there la only room for one man to

you have to fight for something to eat, and
never get anything to drink.
But nobody cares. We are going to the
front at last They cannot push the buck
much further, for we transfer to a govern

Aa Englishman with a Wilt.
Life Is not altogether Joyless on this
packet 1 have seen some transport ex
perience on the little Spanish tubs that
piled about the Philippines and this quite
brings that back to me, but there are aome
things here which were not there. Thla
morning I aaw a demonstration of the
exerclBe of the force that has made Britain
great It waa the play of an uncompromis
ing will that stand alwaya for Ita moral
principles. One of them la to take a bath
every morning and another I to ahave aa
often. The man who built the Nagato
Maru apparently never bathed. He waa an
exponent probably, although before hla
time, of the new theory that It la to bath
ing that moat of the ilia to which human
flesh la heir come from washing the dirt
off the akin and keeping the pores open.
Ttiis Englishman would have fought him
if he had appeared and given the oppor
tunity. He Is a mild mannered Englishman,
with a twinkling blue e. and a lot of fun
In him, but a Britain of the real old aort
the kind good natured Americana love at
sight because he la ao British, tand that all
natured Americans hate vigorously forever,
for the same reason. He slept on deck
last night because the cabin waa crowded
and stuffy, and he objected, naturally, be
cause late wanderers about the deck, aeelng
him completely enveloped In a Bleeping bag
with the Bheepskln Inside, felt of hlrfl to
sea what he waa "Just aa it he were," aa
he put it a "bale of goods." A cold, raw
wind blew acrosa the ahlp thla morning
when he turned out and the first thing he
called for wa hla big fur overcoat He
got that on and then he demanded a bucket
of water. By and by that waa secured.
Then he wanted a tub. That waa entirely
too much for the resources of this packet,
a long search demonstrated.
But the Englishman was prepared. He
had a tub of his own, made of water
proofed canvas, which be carried in hla
bedding roll. Forthwith It waa produced
and spread open on the deck by the after
rail. Off came the fur overcoat and the
flannel pajamas, and stripped to the buff,
the Englishman stepped into tha tub and
commanded hla servant to climb up on tha
rail and pour that bucket of ice water
over him. Thus waa the first demonstra
tion completed.
Next was the shave. There was (no glass,
but the Englishman, standing up for hla
moral principles,' did not mind that in the
least. It is part of the duty,of every self
respecting man to ahave every day, and
shave he would. He rubbed in the lather
as if he were about' to have the most lux

then hopping about the deck to keep hla

their private atocka of wine and began to

of beer on top of wine. It was not long
before the aonorous voice of the bishop's

I also find that for toilet and bath it cannot be excelled.
