JAPAN STARTS OUT TO TAKE RAILWAY Stations Along Entire Line Fear; Capture as Cavalry Sweeps Westward. .GERMANS FORCED BACK Mikado's Troops Drive Foes TJpoii Defenses Xear Tsing-Tau, Though Battle Seems to Have Been but Outpost Engagement. 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, I KILLED; 3 BADLY ' HURT IN AUTO CRASH We Must We Should We Will Win 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 the steep grade outside Aix-la-Chapelle j iiuiiuies or every hour of every uay ana every night. The tre menuous grade is part of the Berlin- i-itris nue. cianamg in the sun par lor of the American Consul's villa on iieiKiiiu in me environs of Aix you can hear the four engines which 'draw each train panting up the wooded in cline.

Sometimes these ooiuiers ciamDer irom the compart ments ana, tor exercise, run along the luiia ui Lilts trains. 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 Prince von Bulow voiced the same spirit when he said in a recent Inter view, "We shall win because we must." 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 men ana Ideals. Because I am .partly of English descent England's cause may oeem io me trie righteous cause, th cause or treaties inviolate and of Knigntly faith. loward the English in this world shaking struggle millions of Ameri cans must feel that tenderness which springs from kinship.

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 Charlemagne, we are wonde'ng whether we p-re nri boholuing the shaping of a new Teutonic empire that will dominate Europe for a hundred years, an empire both industrial and governing, huge, methodical, implaca ble, calm, confident, superb. Everywhere are lights, music, troops, crowded streets, quiet, smiling faces, and everywhere the inexorable ystem working. Sadly we fear for Great Britain. We hear the roar of the ponderous ma chine, so huge yet so unerring, and we ask ourselves. "Is this the turninsr of a new page in the history of em pire?" - --. - .

FRENCH WARSHIP SUNK BERLIN REPORTS VICTORY AUSTRIAN FORT. BY Seventeen Other V essels Declared to Have Fled Sinking; of Britishers Explained. BERLIN. Sept. 28. A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from Igalo, Dal mat ia. asserts that tne Austrian forts at Cat- taro on September 19 sunk a big French warship. t The forts had interceoted a wireless message concerning the movement in the direction of Cattaro of 15 battle ships and three cruisers. The Austrlans awaited their arrival, fully prepared. A salvo from me first fort sunk th warship and the other vessels in the fleet hastily retreated. a. he official report concerning the sinking recently of the three British cruisers, Aboukir, Cressy and Hosrue. by the German submarine U-9 in the North Sea, asserts that the U-9 was in action one hour. This was the time eiapsing between the firinsr of th. first and the last torpedo. The British cruisers, according to the report, did not fire a single shot. When attacked mey were steaming abreast with th Auounir in tne middle. A report that German vessels accom panying the submarine flew the Dutch flag was contradicted. It is emphatically denied that any other submarines took 'part in the at tack and that any were sunk. Several British cruisers, torpedo boats and de stroyers pursued the U-9 until even ing, going as far as the Terschelling Batiks, where the submarine escaped under cover of night.

He visited the hosDit&ls and left generous contributions for the wounded. One man was- killed, three men were fatally injured and two others slightly hurt when an automobile, going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, say witnesses, crashed into a Williams-avenue car at Williams avenue and Wasco street last mianight.

LONDON, Sept. 28. A dispatch to the Telegraph from Petrograd says that on Sunday a spiritea account of the de struction of the Hungarian Guard. cavalry division in the battle of Grodek, appeared In the Russko Slovo. it roiiows: A considerable force of Austrian fell on the advance guard of General uroussllor, composed of infantrv. Cos sacks and light artillery. The plan of the enemy was clear. He hoped to shatter our advanse guard and then oreak through our center. Our in fantry and artillery had strongly en iieucueu inemseives ana in reserve were several Cossack detachments. "At first the Austrian infantry moved out for the attack. It was met with deadly fire of cannon and machine guns and wavered and fell back. then the cavalry was sent out. The flower of the Austro-Hungarlan army, the Budapest Guard Division, formed of Magyars, bright-jacketed Hungarians galloped furiously down in close or der. It appeared as if nothing could arrest their impetuous course, not even the awful shrapnel fire of the artillery, which brought death and destruction in their ranks, nor even the rain of bul- leis rrom macnine guns. ina Maevars did not hesitate a moment, but continued to charge at our trencnes. One more minute and it seemed as if nothing could be left of our inrantry. "All at once the thud of "hoofs and the clatter of steel were heard, and the Magyars were met with a whirl wind of Cossacks. For two hours the Austrian ana Russian infantry watched wmi ueaung nearts the scene of ter rible carnage. "At the end of this time, of the fine Budapest Guard Division not one man was left, and the whole field was strewn with the enemy's dead. "The commander of the division. Gen eral Froheich, could not stand the dis grace of defeat and shot himself on m oattieiieia. As was afterward ex Plained, he had promised to bring to the Austrian Emperor, on the latter's uirinuay. news or the complete de struction or tne Russian army.

Mall Records Heroic As sault on German Gun Battery Wlitctt Silences Deadly Fire. LONDON. Sept. 28. The Daily Mall's con esponaeni in franco pays warm tribute to the excellent work which has been done by the British Guard regiments, which generally, have been supposed to be kept only "for show purposes." He says they have done more fighting than any other of the units of the British expeditionary force. 'In the recent crossing of the Aisne. they achieved a glorious feat of arms." continues the correspondent. "They were allowed to cross by a pontoon bridge without any opposition, but no sooner had our cavalry headed by the Scots Grays begun crossing than a rain of shrapnel burst upon them from no where. Those who were not killed outright were drowned. 'A stretch of open country a quarter of a mile long lay immediately ahead of the guards, hen a wood leading up to the heights somewhere along or behind which the death-dealing German guns lay. The order was given to advance, but though the gallant troops escaped the crowning misfortune o'f falling upon barbed wire, they were received, as was to be feared, by a murderous ma chine gun - fire. On approaching the cover the guards fixed bayonets and charged. They took those guns In five minutes, six of them, and tonight they are in the British lines. "The charge created a necessarv di version, allowing our heavy artillery in turn to enter the lista. Not until the pontoon bridge had twice more been destroyed, however, were the Ger man big guns silenced. Thanks to the admirable reconnoitering work of two aviators, the crossing of the Aisne was then concluded with comparative im munity from shell fire. "That night the guards got their Just due of congratulations." BRUSSELS EXECUTIVE HELD Jews Everywhere Display Enthusi astic Sympathy With Russia, He niarkahle Sign or Times Teu ton Tutelage to Go Is Cry. LONDON. Sept. 28. How the people of Siberia took the news that war bad been declared and their action in pre paring for It is told in a dispatch from 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. 'The Russians have a great advan tage in the good feeling between the officers and the men. Their treatment Is paternal, almost to the extent of that exhibited in the schoolroom."
