Tho Chineso government has received an official telegram from Wct-Hslon stating that 300 Japanese cavalry men havo started westward along tho railway. Tho Chinese, it Is said, believe tho .lapaueso Intend to capture all tho railway stations on tho line, Including that of Tsl-Nnu, tho western termi nus. Tho Japanese legation says that tho legation has not been Informed by Toklo of the reason for taking over tho railway. A correspondent at V'oI-llsieh sends tho following under data of Sept. 2S: "The Japanese havo gone to the west along tho railway, leaving 30 guards on the Wol-IIslen station. The city Is crowded with Chinese uoldlers who aro quartered In homos, causing terror to tho families. The gentry havo sent numerous presents to tho Japanese, fearing forcod levies, The discipline n both armies hero If good."

LONDON'. Sept. 2S, 10 a. in. Thn Inst 4S hours have wltnosscd many scenes of cxtraordlnarly activity wherever antagonists faced each other In the great theater of Kuropo's war, but none of these encounters appar ently havo been decisive. Tho offi cial communications of yesterday stated that tho attack on the German right has made a distinct advanc; and this version Is supported by of ficial Ilerlln advices, which say tho allies havo made extensive advances against the German extreme right. Tho Belgians havo retaliated against tho threat of the Germans to bring up their great siege guns bo fore Antwerp by making desperate sorties. Along the great western battle Jlno itself the struggle still contlnttos ti bo general, with the most deter mined attacks being mado on each flank, lloth sides evidently have realized that mass attacks in the cen ter aro futllo In tho present ex hausted state of the armies. 7ept.cHrw-niir -" "-' Another manifestation of the week end has been tho renewal of aerial ac tivity by Germany. Zeppelins and aeroplanes havo been out in force, apparently for scouting work, but in dulging in bomb dropping wherever feasible. From the east comes reports -of actions from almost every section of tho Russian frontier. Kmperor Wil liam is reported to bo in East Prus sia and tho German offensive prob ably under his eyes has recom menced against General Ttcnncn kainpf. Petrograd believes that thli movement, because of its limited front, is a diversion to relievo the threatened German lino from Kallsz to Cracow. Tho Austrian forces aro still retir ing on Cracow and besides having taken some of tho forts around Przomysl, the Husslnn cavalry is said (Contlnuod on pago two.) EARLY END FOR PRESENT BATTLE I1KKLIN, Sopt. 2S, via London. 3:05 p. m. The correspondent of tho Lokal Anzelger In a dispatch pub lished hero today, points out that i declslvo turn in tho battle which has been raging in tho western thoater of war need not bo expected for sonio time. Subordinate actions of a de clslvo character mo becoming moro general, tho correspondent declares. Tho losses of tho Germans havo been extraordinarily heavy and tho fact that thoso of tho onumy havo beon oven greater Is poor consolation. Tho troops nre confident that lu tho end they will win. Continuing tho cor respondent says: ".My own experience and that of of ficers Is that tho population of north ern Franco Is maintaining u satisfac tory attitude.
