PEKING Tuesday. Sept. 29, 1:05 A. M.
The Chinese government has received
an official telegram from vVei-Hsien
statins' that 300 Japanese cavalrymen
have started westward ainij the rail
way. The Chinese. It is said, believe the
Japanese intend to capture all the rail
way stations on the line, including- that
of Tsi-Nan, the western terminus.
The Japanese legation says that the
legation has not been informed from
Tokio of the reason for taking over
the railway.
Gift Brought to Japanese.
The correspondent at Wei-Hsien
eends the following" under date of Sep
tember 28:
"The Japanese have gone to the west
along the railway, leaving 30 guards
on the Wei-Hsien station. The city is
crowded with Chinese soldiers, who are
Quartered in homes, causing terror to
the families. The gentry have sent
numerous presents to the Japanese,
fearing forced levies. The discipline In
both armies here is good."
The levies referred to by the corre
spondent are probably not monetary,
but in the nature of provisions.
PEKIN, China. Sept. 28 The Jap
anese legation announces that Jap
anese troops, after fighting on Satur
day and Sunday, occupied a position
within seven and a half miles of Tsing
Tau, the seat of government of Kiau
Chau, the German leased possession In
China.
Germans Retire to Defenses,
A German report, undated, but evi
dently having to do with the same en
gagement, says the Germans retired
only from their outpost positions, fall
ing back on the first line defenses of
the city.
An earlier dispatch from Tokio said
the Japanese had had a successful en
gagement with the Germans on the
outskirts of Tsing-Tau.
A German dispatch received here
from Tsinai:, capital of Shan-Tung
province, which probably came from
Tsing-Tau, in the Kiau-Chau territory,
by wireless telegraphy, conforms close
ly to the report given out at the Jap
anese legation. The German dispatch
relates that the German outposts, after
several encounters with the enemy, re
tired to the first line of defense be
yond the villages of Tsang-Kow and
Li-Tsun.
It is apparent that the German lines
follow the highlands and are avoiding
the lowlands bordering on Kiau-Chau
Hay.
METHOD INSPIRES AWE
(Continued From First Page.)
They made me feel exceedingly humble.
Ihey were part of the gigantic sys-
moving men, horses, artillery and wag
ons. It is a quarter of a mile from
Consul Thompson's house to the high
way. Yet he tells me that all day long
the air in his rose garden no longer
gave off the perfume of flowers, but
was heavy with the smell of sweat and
leather.
While we are talking a bundle of
newly arrived English papers is opened.
In them we find advertisements run
ning across two or three columns and
headed, "Your King and Country Weed
You. While we read the chugging of
iroop trains is in our ears.
The conclusion Is Inevitable-
While England is advertising for men
Germany is sending - them.
The Germans themselves are amazed
by the proofs of their resources. A
German officer, commenting on the fact
of the streams of German troops pour
ing through Belgium after the entry
into Brussels, said:
"I have been in the army 10 years,
but there are bodies of troops here of
wnose existence I never dreamed. I
cannot even now say where they came
from."
Behind the system, then, is might,
and behind might is a spirit. That
spirit is given tongue by decorated
postcards which you see In the sta
tioners' windows,

tern, and though for the moment they
had ceased to be a working part of It,
they still did not derange it.
Hostile Mind Tempered.
I came to Germany anti-German. The
things I have seen and the wicked lies
about German "atrocities" in the Lon
don papers have tempered that hostile
state of mind. No man can see what the
Germans ar6 doing and how they are
doing it without being filled with a
great awe of the men and the method.
One -is staggered. One beholds all
around him the results of 40 years of
toil and thought and discipline. See
ing so much, one cannot withhold his
tribute. As you receive daily and hour
ly proof of their singleness of purpose,
their patience, their cheerfulness, their
;uiet acceptance of deprivations, their
unquestioning obliteration of self and
self-interest in support of the greater
cause, you cannot but say, "Well, what
ever be the merits of their cause, they
are earning their triumph."
The workings of the system inspire
one with respect. The demonstrations
of might behind the System overwhelm
the mind. Nobody can even faintly
comprehend the extent of those dem
onstrations who has not seen them, who
has net for hours watched four columns
rolling across the Belgian plains from
horizon line to horizon line.
Troop Trains Numerous.
xuo same jtina oi thing happens In
the cities.
From August 2 until the opening of
September a Jong troop train climbed

Troops I'aaa Continuously.
For a month a German professor who
lives near tlie Consul engaged In the
characteristically German pastime of
estimating by minutes, hours, days and
weeks the number of troops that were
passing. He iigured it by compart
ments by cars and by trains. Septem
ber had not come when he said to the
Consul one, day:
"1 estimate that 2.000.000 troops have
passed. Here are my figures. You can
work it out for yourself. When one
bas seen what we have seen, the prob
lem is simple enough. One has merely
to keep the tally."
As for the Consul himself, he said:
"With me the thing is becoming an
obsession. I wake in the night to that
unceasing pant of engines and grinding
of wheels. I go down to breakfast,
and I see the trains creeping up the
grade. 1 come home to dinner, and
still it goes on. After dinner I sit
down to read, and ail the evening the
sound of the wheels and the engines
comes between me and the words on
the printed page. I believe if a man
allowed himself to brood on the thing
it would make him rather wild."
All Roads Are Occupied.
During the early days of August
there was not only the spectacle of
the passing of the troop trains on the
heights but the highway on the other
side of, the valley was packed with

Socialists Volunteer Services.
The people are an absolute unit. The
Socialists did not have to be won over,
they came over. A young Socialist,
ardent, clever, sincere, said to me last
evening at dinner:
"We see now that the Kaiser was
wise. 1 used to rail at militarism. I
do not now love militarism, but the
month has taught me that in the pres
ent state of civilization militarism must
be, if Germany is to survive. The fact
is before us and Socialism cannot gain
say it"
In the last four weeks I have been
closely observing affairs in four coun
tries and I have been with the men of
four armies English. French, Belgian
and German. That kind of experience
kills prejudice and takes the rancor out
of a man. I do now profoundly respect
the spirit of every man's attitude
toward the cause of his country. I
know now not so much countries as

New Empire Possible.
And, beholding the perfect workings
of the vast German machine, another
emotion lays hold of the soul and bears
it down with a weight of staggering
conviction. watching and waiting in
this city of Aix-la-Chapelle. this seat
of the ancient western empire of

"Just as at present, when conditions

"we should put our shoulders to the

LONDON. Sept. 28. How the people
of Siberia took the news that war bad

Omsk, Sioeria, to the Daily Telegraph
under date of September 15. The dis
patch follows:
"Here in the heart of Siberia, the
most striking feature to a foreigner of
the early stages of the war was the
remarkably business-like fashion in
which the country tackled the grim
realities of war.
"We were In Semlpalatlnsk, seven
miles from the railroad, when the war
was declared. The news was carried
all over Siberia by galloping Cossacks
who. like a multitude of Paul Reveres,
spread across the country notifying the
farmers and peasants of the little vil
lages and ordering mobilization.
' Mobilisation Is ttuicli.
"Omsk, three days' Journey from
Semipalatinsk. we found humming
with well regulated activity. There
were nearly 200,000 reservists already
gathering there and being sent west
ward drilling in the encampments in
Southern Russia. .
'The outstanding feature was thifc
rapidity, precision and smoothness with
which the vast masses of troops were
handled. This was an object lesson in
the awakening Russian empire, and a
reminder that Siberia is adopting the
aggressive among methods of grap
pling with its vast problems.
The attitude of the Jews, who ev
erywhere displayed an enthusiastic
sympathy with the Russian attitude in
the war. also was interesting. It is a
remarkable sign of the times, " this
Jewish movement. If the occasion' is
grasped, as there is reason to believe
t will be. sit means an opportunity for
the solution of the much-mixed Jewish
problem.
Siberians' Attitude Changes.
"The attitude of the Siberians toward
this war is much different from their
attitude during the Japanese war.
Japan meant little or nothing to the
Siberian moujik, but he knows the
Germans.
"This Is no struggle against an un
known foe over an obscure interna
tional disagreement. It is a war in
which the personal equation largely
figures. Every man feels that he is
going to help his brother Slavs in-Ser-
via. ana at the same time free Russia
from Teuton tutelage.
"At Semipalatinsk. the breweries and
vodka shops were closed as soon aj
war was declared. As soon as' the re- '
servlsta began to pour in with the reg.
ularity of a well-oiled machine, they
were sent in one door of the low build
ing which housed military headquar
ters and sent out promptly with in
structions where to report for service,
with warrants for steamer and railway
travel ana an allowance of 25 kopeks a
day for spending money.
It was a thrilling scene as the re
servists took the boat for the mobili
zation point. Great crowds thronged
the pier where the Governor, in full
uniform, harangued his people in stir
ring words.
Cruel Oppression War Cause.
"'This is no war of aggression.' he
said. 'You are fighting to crush a cruel
oppression and Almighty God is with
you. As for your women folks, who
are left perhaps to mourn, let them be
of good cheer and by their courage
and self-control emblazon the Russian
flag with one more instance of the de
votion of its womanhood.'
"As he finished, the band played the
national hymn and the priests, robed
in green and gold, advanced towards
the ship, giving it and the passengers
their blessing.
