The Russian government today aliolished the censorship ou all news and other telegrams going abroad with tho exceiitlou of the ordinary war censorship during hostilities. The lining of tho embargo, which has existed for generations on the free transmission of news from the Russian empire, came as a direct resull of of the subject by the czar himself, and In some respects this abolition Is regarded as the most Important act since the emancipation of serfs. Under a regime allowing perfect freedom to the foreign press It Is believed that Russia will soon eeaae to be constantly subject to underground attack and that she will see herself through honest spectacles. "For years. said a prominent officer to the Associated Press today, "our country has been the victim of every Imaginable slander and misrepresentation. Any story, no matter how baseless or exaggerated, that was sent surreptitiously across the border . was greedily accepted abroad aa true, especially by Russophobes, because the government would not put Ita official stamp on It. Every act of the government has been twisted and distorted. Insignificant student affairs or workmen's riots such aa would not attract general attention elsewhere have been magnified Into great movements of popular discontent until certain portions of the world have been led to believe that Russia waa perpetually on the eve of a great revolution. "Some newspapers especially have " udnetod systematic campaigns against us. Moreover, the fart that were haa often censored dispatches l aubeen interpreted as thorisation, when porhapa they In nn sense represented the views of the government Hereafter correspondents of foreign newspapers will be uutram-mclcWe expect to see Russit presented in her true light The opening of tho floodgates may result In the stirring up of as much mud as possible by those evilly disposed, but we feel confident that In the end truth will prevail. We are not afraid to have the light turned on. We are proud of our country and we are entitled to faithful anil honest presentation of our current hissemi-officia- . d. tory." Foreign telegrams were until recently subject to censorship at the ministry of foreign affairs, but since the death last fall of M. Grelch, who was at one time connected with the Russian embassy at Washington, the censorship haa been temporarily under the ministry of the Interior, where censor bureau of plays, books and newspapers in Russia Is situated. Newt telegrams addressed to foreign sources originating in the most distant parts of the empire, Vladivostok or Odessa, were formerly telegraphed to St. Petersburg to lie passed on. minister of top interior, and Count Lamsdorff, foreign minister. boLh joined In the recommendation that the censorship be abolished. The Internal censorship Is to be retained, hill foreign dispatches are to bn entirely free. Since a slate of war exists telegrams from the theater of hostilities will be subject to the same kind of military censorship enforced in all countries under similar rlrcumstani.es.
