The requost is made, Japan says, be- cause it 1s her purpose to occupy the railway up to Tsinan, the western terminus. If any opposition is en- countered, the Japanese Government states that it will be considered on unfriendly act. TOKIO, Oct. 3 (United Press).— Bombarded by the land batteries of the British-Japanese expedition and the great war fleet before the harbor entrance, the German concession at Kiaochow is reported to-day on fire at several points. Although there has been no attempt to carry the main positions by storm, owing to the constant fire of the Ger- man cruisers in the harbor, the losses to the land forces are large. German aviators, by flying over the Japanese- British positions, havg located the main lines of the besiegers for the German gunners. The Japanose fleet aviators have rivalled their enemies and have dropped bombs at many points. Last night mall magasine was demolished by a bomb dropped by @ Japanese aviator.

It {8 reported in Amsterdam, telegraphs the correspondent of the Central News in that city, that 800 German troops on the lines between Brussels and Antwerp are suffering from typhoid fever. Unless all signe are awry, the German armies in France, or at any rate most of them, are nearing the completion of their trip. This, it is aid in London, is the only conclusion—and It is hited at even by the Berlin newspapere—to be drawn from the reports, both official and unoffi- clal of those on or near the scene of action. The progress of the Allies on their left has been considerable, while the hole through which the Germans might have pterced the line of the French fortresses on the Mouse River side has been stopped. The battling around the heights of Roye, to the northwest of Noyon, seems to have ended in favor of the French. The heights were captured by Gen. von Kluck’s men on Wednesday, but on Friday, according to a French report, the Allies regained control of the position. Alexandre Ribot, French Minister of Finance, to<lay informed the Oab- inet that the financial situation on Oct. 1 was satisfactory, as shown by an examination of the books of the treasury department of the Bank of France. He eaid there would be no new recourse to public loans. In a statement received by wireless from Berlin the German heai- quarters announced that the great battle in France remains undecided. The Germans with their heavy artillery are hammering the positions of the allies at many pointe. The Berlin report says allies were repulsed in their attempts to break the German lines. The German statement says that the heaviest losses have been in the Argonne region. A Petrograd correspondent sayd that the Germans from four points are attempting to concentrate on Southern Russian Poland, where a de- cisive battle is expected. A statement given out in Berlin says that there are about 2,000 Rus- sian officers, including eighteen generals, being held as prisoners of war in the various detention camps in Germany. ‘The Official Information Bureau announced to-day that the British Gov- ernment had decided to jay mines in'certain areas as a counter stroke to the German procedure. Gen, von Hindenberg, the German commander who scored notablo successes in Eastern Prussia against the invading Muscovites, has taken supreme command of the combined German and Austrian forces, These undoubtedly are a formidable army, though the alleged total of two and a half millions of men may be freely discounted. From Petrograd it is officially asserted that the “Russian troops con- tinue to drive the enemy from the borders of the Suwalki and Lonsa Gov- ernments and that there has been continually determined fighting west of Simno. The German treops which attacked Ossowets are retreating precipitately to the north.” The Montenegrin army, according to an official communication fesued by the Montenegrin Consul-General here, stands across the road approach- ing the Bosnia capital, Sarajevo, whose supplies have been out off. $$ PATTI’S QUICK-FIRING GUN,. |FRENCH AND BRITISH WAS REALLY A CAMERA, WARSHIPS HALT EL CID GERMAN OFFICIALS SAY.

Von Wiegand. United Press Statf Correspondent. BERLIN ‘he Hague), Oct. 3.— “The German naval policy is of neces- sity @ waiting one. If England is dis- satisfied she has her redress. She has the men and she has the ships, And she knows exactly where our fleet is.” That was the declaration made to me to-day by Count Ernst zu Revent- low, Germany's greatest naval critic, who has just returned from a visit to the German naval base, in explaining for the benefit of the United Press why there has not been a naval battle of magnitude to date, “It is not up to our fleet—ebout hag the size of the English fleet—to at- tack and give battle on their own ground,” continued the Count. “The English fleet has shown no disposi- tion to court battle. When our d troyers and submarines seek them, we find them close to their own coast lines “Ghip for ship, our fleet is the equal of the British. I believe that, what- ever may happen to our fleet, it will give an account of itself that, when the battle is over, there will be grave Goubt whether the British are still the greatest naval power in the world, And I believe absolutely that the English themselves take such an out- come into consideration and have been waiting in the hope that we will attack them in thelr waters, where everything is in their favor. You know they sunk the Koenigin Luise almost in the very mouth of the Thames.” “How long do you think the war will last?’ the Count was asked. \ “God knows, I don’t.

The Russian cavalry has cut the German Mnee of communication at several pointe and heve surrounded and captured many prisoners. From these it hae been definitely deter- mined that the troope opposing the Russians at the present time are the veterans of the earlier campaigns is France. ‘The main body of the Russian army operating in Galicia against the com- dined German-Austrian forces crossed the Nida River in Poland and the Donajeo River in Galicia immediately after the capture of Tarnow last ‘Wednesday. These forces are now reported as attacking the line of en- trenchments erected by the Austro- German armies along the Raba River, with Bochnia as the centre, These form the advanced line of the defense of Cracow. ‘The Germans have concentrated for the defense of Cracow the pick of their Bavarian troops. It is suggested here that in the line will be found the Bavarian army which was responsible 8 for much of the success of the early German movement in France. The Russian army now advancing on Cracow is made up of the best treops in the Empire.
