CENSOR TAKES OFF THE GAG Incompetence of Commanders and Grafting in Commissariat Openly Denounced Mass Meetings on Streets Not Forbidden. SPECIAL CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 8. The strike situation has become of secondary import ance in view of the renewal of the agita tion in favor of peace. For the first time since the outbreak of the strike the newspapers have taken up the cry "Stop the "War."' and some of these, articles are no amazingly outspoken and determined in their sentiments "that It can only be supposed that the censor has authority to permit the peace sentiment to spread among the people, probably in the expec tation that a sudden cessation of hostili ties would otherwise come as too much of a shock to the war party. The press of South Russia has taken tho lead tnto time. Several of these pa vers in their issues of Thursday print lengthy articles in -which they say in as many words that the Incompetence of the Ruspian commanders in the Far East is now proven to the exclusion of njl doubts and that the commissariat has been con doled, by the weight of Incontrovertible facts, of criminal shortcomings. These Journals point out that, as reform in these directions cannot be instituted at this time with any hope of success, it is the government's duty to end a campaign which must end disastrously. Russia, they say, stands blameless In the eyes of the world, for she has be come the victim of circumstances which no one could foresee at the beginning of the war and which will be accepted by aU fair-minded nations as full Justification for the abandonment of her Manchurian policy. Reports have also been received here of demonstrations In favor of peace, which took place within the past few days In South .Russian cities. Crowds assembled In the streets and were suffered by the police to listen to speakers, who con demned the government for continuing a hopeless struggle at the expense of the people.
