granite buttresses, twenty-six feet
high and sixteen feet thick, until the
island was virtually incased in armor

During the same period $500, 900
was spent on Notifications. Massive

Krupp guns were mounted on the hill.
top; vast magazines, with connecting
tunnels were constructed, and Zeppe-
lin shed and wireless plant erected,
until the despised islet hardly a dot
in the admiralty charts, lay like a
colossal anchored dreadnought in the
path of an invader.
Another $7,500,0O0 was spent on
harbor works, and the entire German
fleet might lie safe under shelter of
the guns ashore. Special provision has
been made for torpedo craft, and
there is little doubt that the three
British cruisers destroyed the other
day were lanced by submarines from
Helgoland
In the judgment of naval experts,
this tiny triangular hillock of clay,
which lies pointing like spearhead
at the heart of England, has double
the efficacy of the German fleet.

Paris, Oct. 23.-Part of the story OF
the bombardment and assaults upon
the fortress of Troyon has been told.
The story from the inside shows how
prodigal are the Germans with their
powder. From the Sth to the 18th OF
Septmber they fire more than 1000
shots from 3-inch S-inch and 10-inch
guns.
The casualties in the fortress were
four killed and forty wounded, while
the damage was inconsideratle ex-
cepting from one shell fired evidently
from a 10-inch mortar which dis
mantled a gun and dug hole through
masonary yard and half thick and
penetrated two and haf yards OF
earth.
The fort sustained two assaults
which, as is already known, were re-
pulsed with great slaughter, 1000
bodies having been found around the
fort after one assault.
On two occasions an envoy was sent
by the German commander who sum-
moned the garrison to surrender in
these terms: I'm the name of his i'm
perial majesty I summon you to sur
render Internationally" "Never!"
was the reply.
On the second visit of the envoy he
complained severely of having been
fired on by Fort Genicourt and de-
clared after receiving the command
ants response: 1--WE shall meet again,
governor
After each visit of the envoy the
bombardment resumed more furiously
of nc
236 shots were fired in half an hour.
An artilleryman who took part in the
defense of Maubeuge declares that
the amount of powder burned there
was greater than at Troyon. For nine
hours at stretch, he states, during
one day of the most furious lombard
ment, the Germans fired shells weigh
ing 1000 pounds each at the rate OF
four per minute, an aggregate OF l,0S0
tons of powder and metal during the
nine hours were used upon one only
of the forts around the city.

to an aged German couple whose cid
est daughter is married to French
man. The son-in-law left his wife and
five children behind to go to France
and fight under the French flag.
The second daughter is married to
a Belgian who has likewise gone to
serve his country. Two sons OF the
aged couple who are living in Ger
many are fighting under the German
flag.
The war has greatly reduced the
forces of the European missionaries
located in Korea. Several members

RAILROAD STOCK
MAY Be UNL0ADED
FOREIGN FINANcIER SAYS SECUR.
tiles SHOULD NOT BE LES
SENED IN VALUE.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. 23.-State-
ments of Sir George Paish, the English
financier expert here to discuss with
treasury officials questions of foreign
exchange arising from the European
war were laid before the interstate
commerce commission today in sup
port of the plea of eastern railroads
for a general increase in freight rates.
Frederick W. Strauss, a New York
banker, testified Sir George had told
him today he was anxious that Ameri-
can railroad securities held in England
should not be thrown upon the market.
Mr.. Strauss urged that railroad Sc
curities must be protected by greater
earnings for the roads if they were to
be made SO desirable to European in
vestors that they would not be unload
ed when the stock exchanges were re-
opened
Commissioner Clements who presid-
ed, asked the banker if he believed the
shipper should be compelled to guar
antee all railroad securities by paying
higher freight rates although 1t had
been shown many such securities were
issued for purposes of negotiation
without regard to the welfare OF the
property.
eff this were merely question of
protecting railroad investors without
relevancy to shippers, would not be
here the witness said. "The inves-
tor must take his chances"
! "Then at any time in the future, no
matter for what cause, if the need of
money and improvement of credit
might be as great as now,' said the
! commissioner, cit would be another
sufficient reason for advancing rates.
| 81 do not assent to that" said Mr..
4 Strauss. Each emergency must be
1 treated by itself. This present emer-
gency is so vast, the greatest the coun-
try has ever known, perhaps the great
/ est it evlr will know, that immediate
relief, part Of which this commission
can afford, must be had
Commissioner Clark reverted to
statement that if the advance in rates
were granted now and later it were
found it was unnecessary to continue
the higher figures, the commission
might revoke it's assent and restore
Gust and reasonable, rates. Mr..
Strauss said that he believed such re-
storation should not be made only be-
cause the emergency had passed, but
on the basis of what might then appear
a "iust and reasonable figure.
