They took four field guns, abandoned by the Germans, and afterwards held the place with a small part of the f orce. PEKJN, Sept. 30. No explanation yet has been advanced here of the dynamiting yesterday of the railroad bridge at Tayu-Ho, six miles west of Wei-Hsien. in Shan-Tung Province, by Chinese troops. The Foreign Office said today that this action was not taken on orders of the War Department and suggested that German railroad employes might have caused the de struction. The Foreign Office has requested the British Legation in Pekin to mediate this question of railroads between the Chinese and the Japanese. The Pekin Gazette has suggested that the Japanese seize no railroads in China and that the Chinese authorities give assurance that the transfer of railroads to any outside nation be not permitted while the war lasts. WAR ENTHUSIASM GREAT Some or Recruits Ciivcii Funds and Put Motor Cars at Disposal. LONDON', Sept. 15. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) War enthu siasm has caused all manner of mili tary organizations to spring .into be ing, among them the sportsmen's bat talion of 1J00 members, which Edward Cunllffe-Owen, the twenty-third direct descendant of King Edward III, is en gaged in forming. It is to be exclusively made up of men of gentle birth between the ages of 40 and 4 5 men whose habits and associations are so firmly fixed that they would not feel at home with the youngsters. Fox hunters, trained to the horse and daring, stand highest in the list of those invited to Join. Grouse shooters, hardened by long tramps over the moors and quick with the gun, are strong rivals. But even the confirmed golfer is in demand, for golfing Implies a cool head and steady nerves. Some of the recruits have given funds and placed their motor cars at the disposal of the battalion. As soon as the command is pronounced ready for service by the war office it will be attached to a line regiment and sent to the front.

BARBED WIRE MUCH USED German Prisoners at Aldershot Are in Inclosures Lighted at Xlght by Arc Lights Two Thousand Arrive on September 16. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) ALDERSHOT, Sept. 16. Lieutenant General Sir Archibald Hunter is in charge of 100,000 "rookies," nine-tenths of whom never handled a gun. When this army goes to the Continent, if it does go, he doubtless will be in com mand of it. In ordinary time of peace. 30,000 men are as big a force as the bar racks at Aldershot are strained to ac commodate. Now most of this army is living in "bell tents," although long rows of wooden huts are already un der construction and will be completed Deiore this army or any part of it leaves Aldershot, and -then, if the war lasts, at least 100,000 men more will take its place. - , . ' . : 1 . Drill Officers Needed. The camps at Aldershot spread over the plains throughout an area at least five miles square. Almost every branen of service is represented, even the Avi ation Corps, 40 biplanes and mono planes being in the service at North Camp. In London the cry is for more recruits. At Aldershot the cry is for more non-commissioned officers to act as drillmasters. Even those on pen sion are receiving regular pay as well as their pension if they will help train the recruits. There are often 200 new men under one "non-com." and the commissioned officers apparently do not take any personal part in the drill ing of recruits. The recruits at Aldershot are com fortably housed and well fed, whatever complaints to tne contrary may ap pear in London papers. Each man re ceives three-quarters of a pound of beef daily, and of ten men who were per sonally asked about ' the commissary by the writer, every man cordially stated that he was perfectly satisfied with what he had to eat. 2,000,000 Ilaaora Ordered. As for the immense amount of detail necessary to equip the troops that are now being raised in England, some idea of the undertaking may be gleaned from two requisitions issued by the War Office yesterday, the first for 1,500,000 of blankets, the second for 500.000 razors. Evidently the British soldier is expected to shave himself, in stead of enjoying the attentions of a company barber. The German prisoners at Aldershot are in barbed wire enclosures, lighted at night by arc lights. About 2000 of them had arrived in Aldershot on Sep tember 16, and they are having pre cisely the same fare as the English soldiers. As -one spectator paradoxi cally expressed it, they are "perfectly happy, but thoroughly discontented." Leapfrog is apparently their only rec reation. At present they are not per mitted to correspond with people at home, although they had that privi lege until a few days ago. In the House of Commons yesterday a repre sentative of the War Office said that such privileges "have been temporarily suspended until such time as the Ger man government sees fit to grant sim ilar privilege!! to British prisoners iu Germany." He concluded his explana tion of the situation with this expres sion: "I hope the suspension will be of short duration." EVERY GERMAN WILL HELP (Continued From First Pa?r. i as an individual.

He is convinced that he could not be spared. .Nor, in truth, could he be. Therefore, he is alert, Intent, single minded. Therefore, he takes the best possible care of himself. He feels that to damage him is to damage a vital part of the machine. Hence it came to pass that. when, after the mobilization, the Emperor gave his thanks to every railway man in Germany, from the highest to the lowest, for the marvelous work they had done hence. I say, it happened that the engineers and their stokers straightened their shoulders, looked at one another, and said: "You see. the machine could not have worked without us." .

Four 14 nights he has slept in his boots when the infrequent opportunity to sleep came. The chambermaid on floor two of the Kaiserhof cannot do much, but she can at least tell the hall porter that the three strange gentlemen in rooms 142 and 143 are always writing: that they frequently refer to maps, and that they do not wear uniforms. The hall porter cannot do much, but he can and he does make known the matter of the maps to the officers at police headquarters. His report insures the American cor respondents another visit the second in two days from an extremely polite detective in plain clothes, who refers to another plain clothes man standing 20 feet away at the end of the hall as ' my colleague." Passports Are Abstracted. For a second time the plain clothes man goes over our passports. He suavely abstracts one which was signed the night before by an officer at mili tary headquarters here and which per mits each of us to cross the Holland border to mail at the village of Vaals letters for England. We protest mildly as he folds six copies of this valuable paper into his pocketbook. He blandly answers ua that those bits of paper must be ex amined by his superiors at police head quarters. Without saying so. he leads us to believe that this examination Is only a formality and that after it all will be well. We are fatuously reconciled, as we have been in similar circumstances be fore. So suave is the detective that we are almost cheerful. But we never see those Dutch passports again. When we were released from the troop train that had brought us up from Beaumont to Aix as "guests" we were advised to report ourselves to the American Consul for fresh papers of identification and for passports. Detectives Aree Everywhere. Within 10 minutes after our arrival at the consulate the officer of police who had escorted us past the sentries at the railway station strolled past. ana. seeing us standing in the wln- aows, continued on his way. Three members of our party stood on the steps of the consulate, and in 10 seconds a man who appeared from around the corner fell into agreeable conversation with them. Half an hour later one of the party looked around from a table at which he and his com panions were sitting in a hotel bar. Within 10 feet of the table sat the Ger man who had chatted so agreeably in front of the consulate. He appeared to be intent upon a newspaper. After leaving the consulate we regis tered our names, place of birth and oc cupation on little cards at the Hotel Kaiserhof. We had hardly got into the bath when a detective in plain clothes and his colleague appeared, made their first examination of our passports and instructed us to report at 5 o'clock in the evening at the polizei praesidium. or police headquarters, for further scrutiny. This was on Sunday, but the system takes no days off. It works incessant ly and on a schedule not of hours, but minutes. Children Help at Home. During the month now melting into a glorious Autumn not even school children whose parents are well to do have been able to go on vacation trips. But there still has been something for them to do. Organized into little bands, they are helping to get in the harvest and clean streets. High school boys and girls have been especially useful in this work. No distinctions of rank or property are recognized in the formation of the bands. Old age as well as youth is drawn into the work. A professor in Aix who is too old for military service has cheerfully gone into the harvest fields on the heights around this an cient city of Charlemagne. adjournmehtis'likely PLAN TO PUT OFF SHIPPl.XU BILL GAINS IN CONGBESS. Hease Proposes to Begin Series of Re cesses Next Week, Letting Most of Members Go at Once. WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. Continued conferences among the Democrats in both houses today gave strong indica tion of the success of the plan for ad journment of Congress by the middle of October. Nearly all majority members of the House, except a few headed by Repre sentative Henry of Texas, are aligned with the movement undertaken by Democratic Leader Underwood, with the approval of President Wilson, to put off the Administration ship pur chase bill until after the November elections. The proposal is that the House shall begin recessing three days at a time next week, so most or its members may go to their home districts immediately, and that Congress shall adjourn about October 15. The shipping bill would be taken up as soon as Congress recon vened, either at the regular session In December or at a epncial cession called for the purpose In November.

VERDUN FORTS MANY Chain of 36 Works Makes It Among Strongest Positions. INDIAN BOLT IS HOPE Germans Confidently Expect Revolt Against Britain. LOYAL STAND NOT KNOWN WAR HISTORY IMPORTANT Town's Record SIiows Suffering From Numerous Hostile Forces, Dating Back to Roman Con quest Teutons Covet Fort. The fortress of Verdun, near which the French center made its desperate stand that halted the invading legions of Germany, marking the limit of the German advance against the allies' right to date, ana against which the Germans from Berlin massed in force, is one of the greatest pieces of forti fication in the French chain of de fenses. It forms the left of what is known as the "Meuse line" barrier. The town itself, with a small, antiquated fortress of the Vauban period, lies in a basin of the Meuse and is surrounded by hills. Upon these hills have been placed the forts which compose the inner line -of the fortress. They are Belrupt and St. Michel on the north and La Chaume and Regret on the west. Beyond the military engineers have extended the eastern' line of defense; to the cliffs that overlook the plain of Woevre. Here, on a front of more than five miles, a chain of the most im portant works has been placed. From north to south they are Hardimont, Vaux, Lanfee, Mardi Gras, Elx, Moul ainville, Manezel and Chatillon. Forts Close Together. Along the south front and at right angles to these works on a western spur of the heights are Forts Rozellier, St. Symphorien and Haudainville. The last named overlooks the river. The entire north front is studded with a line of strong forts, some of which are only 200 yards apart, and the last fort on this line also overlooks the river. Along the east front, protecting the valley by which the railroad line to Metz runs through the heights, is Fort Tavannes, a large fortification with outworks and a series of flanking bat teries. A complete semi-circle of forts de fends the left bank of the Meuse at the northern end of which is Fort Belle Bpine, which, with Forts Marre, Bour rus and Bruyeres, is on a single ridge facing the northwest. Belle-Spine is so constructed that its batteries cross the line of fire of the left of the north front, sweeping this section of the ap proaches. Number of Forts Is The west front of the works is com posed of Forts Germonville, Bois de Sartelles. Landrecourt and Dugny. the last being In sight of Fort Haudain ville, across the Meuse. As a second line behind these forts are Forts Choisel and Sartelles and the Chana redoubt. There are in all 16 large forts and 20 smaller works, the perimeter being approximately 30 miles and the great est diameter of the tort ring nine miles. The mobile garrison of Verdun, as it was a few weeks ago, is composed of the 151st, 162d, 164th, 165th and 166th regiments of line infantry; the Nine teenth Chasseurs a Pied, the Second and Fourth Hussars, the Sixty-first Field Artillery and the Sixth Battalion of Engineers. The big guns of the fort are manned by the Fifth Regiment of Foot Artillery. All the forts and redoubts are pro tected by barbed wire entanglements designed to halt assaulting infantry in positions where they can be enfiladed by the fire of machine guns and rifles. Town of Historical Import, The town itself is of some historical importance. At the time of the Ro man conquest, under the name of Ve rodunum. it was made a part of Bel- gica Prima. It suffered in the barbaric invasions and did not recover until the fifth century. Clovis seized it in 602, and it afterward belonged to the king dom of Austrasia. In 843 the famous treaty between the sons of Louis the Pious was made there. In the tenth century Verdun was conquered by Germany and put under the temporal authority of its bishops. In 16S2 Henry II of France took possession of the Trois Eveches, of which Verdun formed a part, through the treaty ef estphalia. In 1792. after a few hours of bom bardment by the Prussians, the city surrendered. For this the inhabitants were severely punished by the revolu tionary government afterward. In the Franco-German war of 1S70 Verdun was Invested and finally taken after a desperate resistance through three weeks of constant bom bardment. The French garrison at that time resisted to the last. It was late in November, 1870, that the fortress finally "surrendered. Teuton Public Still in Ignorance of Offers or Eastern Prince to Give Money and Men to Aid Allies Against Kaiser. COPENHAGEN. Sept. 14. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Articles and caricatures in German newspapers and other periodicals show that the Germans are still confidently expecting serious uprisings in India. The public is still in ignorance of the faut that a great number of the Princes of fndia have offered money and troops to Great Britain. The Rhenish-Westphalia Gazette publishes with approv ing comment the following letter: "The expectation frequently ex pressed that the Indians, when they learn of British defeats, will rise against their oppressors may yet be fulfilled. I have just had an oppor tunity to talk with a German physi cian from Muenster. who was for many years in India. He says that Great Britain is circulating reports in India of fabulous victories at land and sea and Germany cannot offer any earnest resistance. Indians Credit Stories. "All newspapers appearing in India are daily led with reports of British victories, and other newspapers, with reports of even tho slightest reverses, are not allowed to enter the country. he censorship is extraordinarily sham. The Indians believe these reports of victories, since they receive no other reports than such as are calculated to strengthen their belief that Great Britain is unconquerable. "If this confidence should be ever so little shaken, the consequences for entisn rule In India could not be fore seen. I prising Is Hoped For. "It should, therefore, be the endea vor of the German government to see to- it tuat the truth is made known to the Indians, who are eager for free dom. The physician -believed, that if this could be done, even in a few nlares. an uprising would be the work of but a few days. For India is so nearlv bare of troops, which have been sent to tne more doubtful Ksrypt. that those still left could offer no serious resist ance to an uprising. In Egypt the uermans are so enthusiastically greet ed by the populace as their deliverers that there have already been serious connicts in many public places." BRITAIN FIRM Hi SEIZURE STAND ON COPPER CAPTURE AN NOUNCED TO AMERICA. View Expressed Shipment Intended for War Use by Germany! Viola tion Is Questioned. WASHINGTON. Sept- 30. Great Brit ain's intentions to seize goods which may be classed as contraband of war specifically destined for Germany or Austria, even when such shipments are carried in American shins and con signed to neutral ports, was announced at the State Department today by Sir uecu Bpring-Kice, the British Ambas sador. The Ambassador called to exDlain dispatches stating that two cargoes of copper shipped from the United States to the Krupp gun works in Germany via Holland had been seized and dl verted to England. He said It was be lieved the copper was to be used in the construction of torpedoes and that it came distinctly under the classifi cation of conditional contraband. Pay ment for the full value of the cargoes has been remitted to the American shippers, and it is understood that similar course will be pursued in such cases in the future. Earlier in the day the Senate had passed a resolution introduced by Sen ator Smoot asking the State Depart ment to report whether the British government wasnterfering with ship ments of American copper in neutral ships to Rotterdam. No announcement was made as to what the attitude of the department would be toward Great Britain's action. Some officials, however, were in clined to think there was no ground for claiming there had been a violation of international law.
