Japanese Rule
With Harsh Hand
In Vladivostok
Force of 10,000 Troops Sta
tioied in City Impose Will
On Russians Erect
Wireless Plant.
By FREDERICK SMITH.
Xtw York Tlmra-rhirair Tribune Cbln,

Honolulu,' Jan. 21. Since the Jap
anese shot up Vladivostok last April,
they have ruled that city with a high
hand. At present ,they have 10,000
troops' stationed there to impose
their will on the Russian inhabitants.
The American consul's ..protest
against the Japanese seizure of the
city resulted in the lowering of
countless Japanese flags which were
then immediately raised over the
main buildings, after Japanese rifles
had spread terror and death among
the Russians.
In addition to trcops the Japanese
have erected a ipowerful wireless
plant in the' main street of the city.
Japanese soldiers, singly or in
squads, ' constantly ' patrol every
block.
While the military keepthe city's
people on' the jump, shrewd citizens
from Nippon are buying up the
choicest property and making other
strategic moves to clinch their hold
on commercial prominence. So
confident are the Japanese that they
will be the permanent possessors of
the city ' that they have adopted
methods which arc almost incredi
ble on the part of a great nation. ,
American business and personal
mail, both outgoing and incoming, is"
censored by the Japanese, who com
pel the' Russian postal officials to
permit them to share a large room
in which the Russians censor mail.
All mail is opened and always de
layed. Frequently the censors do
not even take the trouble to close
the envelopes with stickers. Ameri
sans are compelled to furnish full
translations of, all cable messages. ,
American business concerns are
forced to pay an 18 per cent ad
valorem export tax and also encoun
ter considerable rgd tape in securing
permission 'to transact business' from
the export and- ftnport comtnittee,

claring that the price of lumber is
not high and that if will go higher
