Claims Russian Soldiers Are Disguis-
ing Themselves as Chinese.
TOXIC. Oct. 1s.-The japanese Gov
eminent to-day decided to draw the
attention OF the Russian Government
to the unlawful action of Russian
troops in usuing Chinese costumes.
The notice will be served through the
American State Department, which
will transmit 1t through the American
embassy at St. Petersburg.
A memorandum issued by the For
eign Office says that on October 4 a
body Of infantry belonging to the Rus
sian Third Regiment OF Sharpshooters,
wearing Chinese costumes, attacked
the Japanese forces on the Mukden
road. and that Russians similarly clad
approached the Japanese lines and
attempted surprises Different reports
received. 1t is charged, indicate that
the Russians are purchasing enormous
quantities Of Chinese costumes.
The memorandum points out that
combatants not properly uniformed
are liable to punishment as Offenders
against the laws OF war and that par
ticipation in fighting without uniforms
is a violation of international usage
an unlawful act and contrary to the
meaning OF article % of the supple
mentary rules Of the convention gov
erning the laws and customs Of war
on land.
It is pointed out, further, that this
action Of the Russian troops will prove
q source Of great calamity to innocent
Chinese, who will thereby be exposed
to danger, owing to their inability
from distances to distinguish the
Russian soldiers from real Chinese.

RUsso-GERMAN ENTENTE.

II is already known that practically
all Of three corps in the wilma Govern

are included in what is known as Rus

not attracted much attention. 1t now
develops that the Rifle Brigade at
PIotsk. IN the Government Of Tschen-
stoehova, directly on the frontier, is
modifying.
In the best-informed diplomatic cir
cles II is believed that nothing in the
shape Of a treaty between Russia and
Germany has been committed TO writ
ing. but that there is simply & mutual
personal understanding between the
two sovereigns covering this point. and,
some believe, going much further So
far as the present war is concerned
there is no evidence that the supposed
agreement covers active aid, as such
an agreement would render operative

thought. however, in diplomatic quar-
tiers, that there is something in the ma
ture of pledge On the part of the En-
peror of Germany to protect Russia's
western frontier.

the deep personal friendship of the
two Emperors, that when Emperor
William was about 70 undergo an

BOSTON, Oct. 19.-An attempt was
made to-day by the committee on
canons OF the Episcopal House of Dep
uties TO arrange a compromise be-
tween that body and the House Of
Bishops. The Bishops had adopted an
amendment forbidding the remarriage
of divorced persons, while the depu-
ties had declined TO accept so rigid a
provision, Notwithstanding the fact
a majority Of them took a stand SIM
ilar to that of the House OF Bishops
The committee on canons offered a res
oIution compelling divorced persons
seeking remarriage to wait one year
after the decree OF the court for the
solemnization Of the ceremony. By
this resolution. which referred to the
innocent person in a divorce for inf
deity only, 1t was hoped to secure at
least a temporary agreement between
the two forces. After some debate
the divorce issue was made special
order for tomorrow.
The deputies devoted a large part Of
the day to the consideration Of petit

revised version OF the Bible IN
churches. When the house was divided
the request was refused by a majority
