the streets carrying long poles which

Monday and by sheer weight of num-
bers the Germans secured a slight ad-
vance.
Military experts point out that from
the present position on the upper Disc
river the German advance will be-
come increasingly difficult owing to
natural features of the country as well
as the artificial defenses that will have
to be encountered. 1t is becoming
evident that all along the western line
the allies are playing for time in the
hope that the German assault will be
come exhausted.
On the diplomatic side Germany is
making renewed efforts to bring Italy
into her camp by a proclamation which
cites that a victory for England and
France will de prive Italy Of all chance
Of dominating the Mediterranean.
The western coast of Belgium and
the northwestern coast of France are
apparently clear of Germans.
Antwerp has asked for an increased
garrison. The town has also expert
enced a shudder because of another
Zeppelin visit. The great dirigible was
fired on and it departed without drop

tiouals to leave the country: q num-
Der did depart, but on the expiration
Of the japanese ultimatum the Ger
man authorities took into custody fifty
japanese and put them In prison,
claiming that this action was taken
for their protection.
The civil authorities gave the Japa-
nese am AMBASSADOR permission to see his
imprisoned couutrymcn, but the mill
tary authorities refused 10 let him do
so. It was impossible to obtain their
names and the American ambassador
at Berlin, James W. Gerard, who rep
resents japanese interests, protested
at this situation
The foreign Office statement declares
also that the train on which the jap
anese ambassador left Vienna was
stoned and several Of its windows were
broken. This outrage, it says, was n
result Of the unbridled abuse Of Japan
in the Vienna newspapers.
This report comes as something OF
a shock 10 the public here, particu-
larry as German and Austrians have
been treated with every consideration
and courtesy in Japan.
