SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27.
German Attacks Along The Entire Front Repulsed
REMARKABLE PREPARATION
IN MASONRY, CONCRETE,
BY GERMANS, ON AISNE
Statement Made That For Years Stone Had Been Cut in
French Quarries By Present Enemy As Foundations For
Factories Never to Be Completed
London, 1:10 p. m.—The British mili
tary experts who last week pVedieted
that Germany would maintain the de
fense in France only while transferring
troops to the eastern arena of war, have
not. generally speaking, been borne out.
Although the position of the invaders at
Franca at the center is suited for such
tactics—and siege warfare has prevailed
for days—the fighting on the ends con
tradicts them.
“Correspondents telegraphing today
from Amsterdam and dating their des
patches from France,” en expedient re
sulting from ti e expulsion of the writevs
from anvwhere near the scene of opera
tions. again dwell on the exce ent char
acter of the German entrendiments. It
seems that in many places along the
Ainse battle front stone quarries dot
the hi lsides, a majority of which have
been in German hands for yea Vs. It
would appear that during several weeks
before the opening of hostilities thou
sands of tons of stone were cut from
these quarries, later to be used for the
construction, by the Germans, of bar
riers against which the heaviest artil
lery has little effect.
“Boring for Water.”
An Englishman, writing from the
Maubeuge district, reveals some of the
remarkable preparations which he al
leges were made by the Germans for
the present war. This man in his let
ter says:
“The Germans installed, a long time
before the war, certain portions of some
of their big 42 centimetre guns on a
farm, under the pretext that they were
boring for water. They put in founda
tions of concrete so that everything was
ready. As their guns had a longer
range than those of the Maubeuge forts
It was not difficult for them to con
quer.”

Washington, D. C. —A license to ope

engineer of the Telefunken Company at
Eerlin, and the department permitted
these tests to be conducted without a
speial license wit*.»n hours to be fixed

“On the 11th instant the radio in

The department auded that “the rate

Belated reports giving intimate de

Compiegtie, from which cities the Ger

further light on what England has char
acterized as German advance prepara
tions for invasion. According to these
stories, in almost evefry French town
through which the German army swept,
some one in the ran.v3 would point out
where he had until recently resided as
an Inconspicuous citizen. Through such
men, great quantities of stories were
found, and this together with the .mowl

value.

operating against the German con

miles south of Weihslen, on the Kiao
chow Railroad, according to advices
received here from the province of
Shantung. At Fangtse there are val

trol.
Reports to the Chinese government
from various towns in the wake of the
Japanese army corroborate dispatches
from Liachow of the wounding by the
Japanese of about 12 Chinamen. Ac
cording to the government advices a
number of Chinese have been killed
while attempting to prevent attacks
on their women. The Chinese minis
ter at Tokio has been instructed by
his government to appeal to he Jap

inhabitants of Shantung.
The activities of the Emflen and
other German cruisers which, accom
panied by colliers, departed from
Tsing-Tau early in the war, seem to
prove that the German official dec

Russian Minister to Border

New York.—Refore sailing for Glas

the Olympic today, Alexander de Stal

spoke freely on conditions in that
country as he said he found them.
"Mexico Is without a government
and practically in a state of anarchy,”
he said. “With the exception of tha

There is no interference from the na

there is no national government worth
mentioning.
"The United States should not with
draw its troops from Vera Cruz. From
what I was able to observe there Is
no prospect that stable government
may be established in Mexico. Car

he cannot compare with Villa as a
