from Kaiser in War.

Tokyo. Dec. 3-The Japanese are rap
idly establishing administrative govern

captured from the Germans in the South
Pacific. Within a week after news had
been received here OF the capture OF
Jaluit. several officials were dispatched
TO the Marshall Islands to investigate
their trade and development possibilities
and since the Caroline group has been
added other officials have gone there
Several steamers have been taken OF
other runs and a steamship service es-

islands now under japanese sovereignty.
Cargoes OF Japanese merchandise are al
ready on their way.
The most interesting feature Of this
industrial occupation Of the islands
which the japanese foreign Office de-

CALL PURPOSE" SKIES
SENT FROM FACTORY
Peerless Motor Car Company Starts
Shipments of Popular New
Type Car.

Shipments of "AlI Purpose" skies, the
new light short wheeIbase six-cylinder
car that was announced recently by the
Peerless Motor Car Company have been
begun from the factory in Cleveland.
This car was presented to the public
along with the All Purpose" four six
weeks ago, but deliveries of fours were
begun first. Dealers in all the prominent
cities will have six demonstrators within
a few days
The interest in the new six-cylinder
model has been very high, and great
number Of orders were taken by the Peer
less Company before it was able TO show
the car to its customers.
The car has a 1-2X5 inch motor cast
in block. The wheeIbase is l2l inches,
only eight inches longer than the four.
Both the 'An Purpose" four and six were
designed with as short a wheelbase as is
compatible with a roomy body. in order
to secure the advantages OF light weight
and easy handling in crowded city traffic
which have been attained in the product
of the leading European makers of light
cars during the past two or three years.
All the additional wheelbase length in
the six over the four is taken up in the
bonnet to give space for the longer mo

NAVAL EXPERT SEES
GERMAN INVASION PLAN
BnGsher Says Kaiser's Scheme Means
to Mine Straits of Dover and At
tack with Navy and Army.

London, Dec. 3-H. W Wilson. the
naval expert. thinks the plan Of Germany
for invading England is as follows:
She hopes to capture Dunkirk, Calais,
and the stretch OF French coast as far
as Cape GrisneZ. She would then run
two lines OF mines across the channel
the southern line from Cape Grisnez TO
Dungeness. the north line from near
Ostend 10 Deal, Immediately to the south
OF the present British mine field. These
two chains OF mines will enclose the
Straits Of Dover and greatly hamper or
prevent the patrol OF the straits by the
British warships.
On the continental extremity the
mines will be protected by the monster
guns which Germany proposes to mount
along the French and Belgian coast
when she has captured II. Some years
ago Sir Percy Scott pointed out that the
then existing twelve-inch gun was alb, .
10 throw its shells across the Straits OF
Dover. and the German guns should have
an effective range OF eight or ten miles
in clear weather.
'Furtr er protection against British
mine sweepers and trawlers would be
given by the German submarines. which
presumably would be gradually brought
down along the Dutch coast. and which
would concentrate in the harbors Of Os-
tend, Dunkirk Gravelines, and Calais,
and possibly by fast merchantmen, spe-
Cially strengthened. with one or two
heavy guns mounted. To the Channel
ports iat-bottomcd pontoons would be
moved by the great canal system OF Bel
GUM and Northern France. and the
troops would be towed over in them by
motor launches and torpedo boats.
Finally. when the preparations have
been completed. the German feet may be
expected to move out and with its best
and most modern ships to meet the Brit
ish grand feet. while its older battle
ships and vessels Of comparatively small
fighting value proceed to the Straits OF
Dover. and, II all goes as the Kaiser
hopes, pass through the channel previ-
ously arranged in the northern chain OF
mines 10 cover the landing"

Street Fighting with
Germans.

CANNONADE In DARKNESS

London, Dec. 3-Much heroic street
fighting has taken place in France to
which no publicity has been given. For
instance, one officer writes home as fol-
lows:
THE other night We had to attack a
town in order TO try and secure the
bridge over the river the other side of It.
During the day we had got one tiny cor
ner of 1t, and as soon as it got dark were
able to bring up the dismounted men and
guns There were some crossroads in
the middle OF the village. barricaded and
held by the Germans. The road down
which We had to make an attack was
slightly curved about $50 yards from the
barricade, and behind the barricade was
a square with about thirty-yard sides.
There were about three smoldering
houses just behind and to the left OF
the barricade.
The gun was man-handled down to
the bend in the road, and then six rounds
were fired at the barricade with the OBJ
ject Of blowing it down. The squadrons
were drawn up in troop columns one be-
hind the other in the rear OF the gun.
Three troops were to make the attack
on the barricade, three troops were to
guard the side roads coming in from the
right between the gun and the barrl-
cade, and the other squadron was to
guard our rear and line Of retreat.
Germans Spring Surprise.
THE gun went of suddenly and
brought down the glass all over the
place on our heads. When we thought
the barricade was down we rushed down
the street toward it, and on reaching 1t
found II was intact. AS soon as we start
ed pulling 1t down the Germans opened
fire from the streets and houses. We
pulled a Maxim up into the window of a
house, some OF US stood in the streets
and fired others tried to break into the
houses on either side, and the noise and
the crashing Of a burning house was ap-
palling.
After about ten minutes the Germans
retired around the corner toward the
bridge. On looking around the corner we
found another barricade about seventy
yards away. They opened on US with a
Maxim and started throwing flares. The
guns started sheIling from over our
heads. II is impossible to describe the
scene. Sometimes 1t was pitch dark, and
then the flames would shoot up from the
house and show the men crouching in
the doorways or lying behind the barri-
cades We had built on the side roads.
We hadn't enough men to take the
second barricade. and for some time one
of our poor fellows, shot through the
head. lay IN the square. We were there
from till 1:3o in the morning, and just
before we got the order to retire three
men volunteered to go out and bring in
the wounded man from the square
They had to take their boots OF and
run over in the dark, find the man and
bring him In, all in front OF a Maxim
and the Lord knows how many men only
yards distant"

SUCCESS in CAMERON
CROWNS BRITISH Arms
English Officer Gives Graphic Account
Of the Capture of the Duala
by Cruiser.

London. Dec. 2-British arms have
been successful in the Cameroons. a
German possession. An English oficer
gives this account OF the capture OF the
Duala:
"On Friday and Saturday a British
cruiser moved up the CAMERON River.
lay about three miles or Duala, and
comfortably bombarded the town, out OF
reach OF the German fort.
AT the same time a landing of a small
force OF troops was attempted, but the
enemy was in such force there that the
landing was given up.
The Germans had sunk at least ten
steamers in an absolutely unsuccessful
attempt to block the channel. On Sun
day, Duala disliked the cruisers shells
so much that they hoisted the white nag
and surrendered the town.
The Lord was with Is in a most
marvellous manner. as not only was the
enemy unsuccessful in blocking the chan
mel, but also not one OF their floating
mines did any damage to US. Our small
patrol boats succeeded in blowing up
about twelve OF them by rife fire, and
We heard the enemy lost eleven men in
the making Of these mines.
On the csth Gen. Dobell landed in
Duala and took over the town.
OU lnf -Jln dlA tlAC 1iOOpS were laAAN
ed moving up the river on the smaller
boats Ny battalion landed at Donaben
on the other side OF the river. About
two hours after our landing. Just at
dusk. the alarm was sounded and We
had to take our posts and prepare for an
attack. However. no attack came, and
later our company was relieved, and
got a good sleep from 10 till o'clock,
when we had to take up our outpost posi-
tions again.
In the river above Bonaben the general
had withdrawn nine steamers Of the
Woermann Line. About 7 o'clock this
morning C30th) I and two other subalterns
were detailed with 100 men TO accompany
the naval party going up TO take over
these steamers. We went up on a little
tug. As we approached the Hans Woer-
mann, the largest OF them, We had all
our men ready with rifles loaded. as We
were not sure what sort OF a reception
We should get
But instead OF bullets we were re-
ceived with rounds Of British cheers and
hurrahs-on board were some thirty
English. including two women and a
baby. who had been kept prisoners on
this boat by the German ship crew.
When the British flag went up in the
Duala the German crew threw all their
arms and ammunition overheard. and
received us quite civily and quietly, al
though sullenly.

French SPARE LIFE
OF GERMAN AVIATOR
Birdman of Kaiser's Aeroplane Corps
Lands Among Foes After
Companion Dies.

Rotterdam. Dec. IA German aviator
who owes his life to a French officer 5
chivalrous cry. writes to his father:
1T is a miracle that l am still alive
after my experiences OF the last few
days. l left one morning in my aero
plane with Lieut.. j. an aviator Of first
rand. to reconnoiter the movements OF
the enemy's troops around Sedan. Near
Betrix we were caught in rainclouds and
had to descend to 1000 yards. Immedi-
ately We heard the sound of shots. A
whole division OF the enemy was firing
at us
j. who was plotting. was struck in
the stomach. The motor stopped work
ing. and the aeroplane descended grad
ually in a volplane toward the enemy 5
lines. When we were about 800 yards
above them the machine dipped sudden
Iy. I turned around and saw that j
had fallen back in his seat dead. A sec
ond bullet had struck him in the fore
head. l seized the controls and managed
to restore the equilibrium OF the ma
chine. 1 was aiming al the forest beyond
the French lines.
The minutes during which I planned
at a height of 200 yards above the enemy
seemed an enternity. Rife bullets whist
led around my head, and I suddenly felt
violent shock in the temple. Blood
still held my hand on the controls.
But the machine struck an airpocket.
almost capsized. and as the dead body OF
my comrade interfered with my steer
ing. had to land among the enemy.
when the biplane struck the ground it
turned right over and fung me to a con-
siderable distance. French soldiers ran
at me from every side.
Il took out my revolver and shot down
three. A moment later felt a bayonet
point against my breast. Then an officer
ran up. shouting:
Don't kill him: he is a brave man.
THE cry saved my life. I was taken
to a general, who asked me for certain
which I refused to give
They dressed my wound and gave me red
wine to drink"
The aviator then recounts how. during
the confusion caused by a German at
tack. he succeeded in escaping and re-
turning to his own lines.
