An Army of War Correspondents.
Enforced inactivity.
War News Prohibited.
Received March 15, at 10.44 a.m. SYDNEY, March 05. The morning papers publish long letters from their special war correspondents, dated from Tokio.
They are chiefly indicative of the thorough manner in which the Japanese censors carry out their work -a-nd succeed in sifting out all information regarding active operations. - .
The correspondents lengthily review the situation, Japanese preparations an-d enthusiasm, and other kindred subjects, but of war news they give none.
A small army of correspondents are waiting permission to be allowed to accompany the Japanese to tile front, but, apparently, from the tone of bhe letters they are likely to have to wait for some time. Meantime, amongst other regulations, they are compelled to- wear for the purpose of identification, a white bawl on thoir arm inscribed in red with the name of the journal they represent.
