the Germans has been rather poor.
Setback Worst for Germany.
"When you saw the rush start, you
thought nothing on earth could stop
it". That those tremendous charges
were stopped and the attackers driven
back in disorder is due in the first
place. I am certain, to the magnificent
marksmanship of the British soldiers.

TOKIO CHARGES ABUSE
JAPANESE IN GERMANY ARE MAL

Foreign Office Says Abo That Train

TOKIO, Sept. 2. The Foreign Office

the treatment of Japanese in Germany

In Germany. The Japanese Charge
d'Affaires at Berlin advised his na

did depart, but on the expiration of
the Japanese ultimatum the German
authorities put 50 Japanese in prison,
declaring this action was taken for
their "protection."
The civil authorities gave the Japa
nese charge permission to see his im
prisoned countrymen, but the military
authorities refused to let him do so.
It was impossible to obtain their names
and the American Ambassador at Ber
lin. James W. Gerard, who represents
Japanese Interests, protested at this
situation.
The Foreign Office statement declares
also that the train on which the Japa
nese Ambassador left Vienna was
stoned and several of its windows bro
ken. This outrage, it says, was a re
sult of the unbridled abuse of Japan
in the Vienna newspapers.
This report comes as something of
a shock to the public here, particularly
as Germans and Austrian s have been
treated with every consideration and
courtesy by the Japanese.

the German fleet has so far declined
the British challenge to a pitched bat

sowing mines in the North Sea. sug
gests that it may be necessary for the
Admiralty, which has declined to con
descend to the German methods in this
respect, to take retaliatory measures in
the near future.
"We may either have to use mines
for the purpose of preventing German
mine-laying vessels from leaving Ger

we may decide that crews of vessels
used as mine layers should be given
short shrift as pirates."

MARCH 8000 STRONG.
More Than Quarter of Million Persons
Applaud Old Soldiers at
Detroit.
DETP.OIT, Sept. 3. Approximately
8000 veterans, the remnant of the
Grand Army of the Republic, still 60
divisions strong, passed in review at
the National encampment here today.
More than a quarter of a. million per
sons applauded and many wept as
the old soldiers, doing their utmost to
conceal faltering steps, passed down
the main business thoroughf re. The
line of march was a mile and a half
long.
Despite threatening weather, many
persons thronged sidewalks and parks
and tops of buildings, jammed grand
stands an(l sightseeing vehicles, and
fought for strategic places along
Woodward avenue today to view the
parade, which was one of the greatest
and perhaps the most memorable which
has ever passed through the streets of
Detroit. For the 48th time members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
marched in National review.
The parade was the crowning event
of the encampment, which officially
began today and ends Saturday and
which has brought more than 12,000
veterans to Detroit. The women were
not allowed the privilege of joining
the long procession. A ruling by
Washington Gardner, commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army, prohibited
participation.
