Excerpt from From Tokyo to Tiflis: Uncensored Letters From the War It is the duty of the war correspondent not to betray any military secrets that may come under his notice.

No man can write frankly of recent Russian movements without finding much to condemn. I have sought to word unfavourable criticism in the least offensive fashion.
