TTOKIO, JAPAN. Nov. by Mail)
in no way is the striking diff
ference between Oriental and Oc-
cidental methods of thoughts better in
dicated than by the cartoons which are
now appearing in Japanese and in
American periodicals. Those who are
interested in psychology will find these
differences between American and jap
anese brain processes as reflected by
the funny men very interesting

In the first place. the Oriental neither
feels pain himself nor pity for the
agonies of others as does the Aryan-.
American cartoons which have
reached Japan appear to indicate an al
most universal horror at the barbaTities
of the war besides a keen sympathy
with the sufferers on both sides in Eu-
rope.
Japanese cartoonists have yet to in
dictate that that phase of the war has
appealed to them. They remember well
their own great and devastating strug-
gle with Russia, yet no cartoon that
has appeared in Japanese papers, and
no expression of opinion by any of the
papers has considered in any way the

Buying Agents for Nations
of Europe In0ade New York
and Complain About Prices

New York. Nov. 2S.-This city is
now actually experiencing a real in
vasion by war agents from various
European countries. The invasion is
peaceful, however. and also likely to
prove highly profitable for American
producers, since these invaders, more
than 100 Of whom are now registered
at the various hotels here, are pur-
chasing agents who have come here to
buy the supplies needed to carry on the
war. Their needs cover a wide range,
including pretty nearly everything
from horses and guns down to socks
and gloves. ....--.
There is more or less mystery about
the, mission Of the agents, some of
them even registering under false
names and many of them refusing to
discuss their business in this country.
Some Of them have complained that in
spite Of the millions waiting to be
spent there is difficulty in buying the
supplies they have been sent to get.
One agent representing a neutral
country and who is here to buy under
wear, says that in spite of the fact that
his mission is commercial only, he
finds 1t impossible to trade. His eX-
PLANTATION for this is that the Ameri-
can dealer wants too much profit.

GERMANS GIVE
UP; TRENCHES
ARE FLOODED
Surrender to- Belgians and
Are Fired Upon by
Their Comrades.
SAY THEY WERE
TIRED OF FIGHTING

~ ARTS, France, Nov. 2S-Apparently
- the morals of some of the Ger
- man troops is badly shaken, from
the account Of the surrender Of
whole German detachment which was
told here today.
The account says that desultory mr.
ing was going on near the Flanders
seacoast when suddenly there appeared
from the German trench nearest the
Belgian line a long stick, with white
handkerchief attached to it.
Fearing some treacherous move, the
Belgians remained under cover of their
trenches and waited for developments
A few minutes later, a single German
left the enemy's trenches. He was I'M
armed, and began painfully to crawl the
distance between his own and the Bel
gian lines. The Belgians allowed him
to advance Every now and again, he
raised his arm, and waved a piece of
paper he carried. In this way it took
him more than an hour to cover the
distance between the trenches.
As soon as he reached the Belgian
lines, an officer advanced and inquired
his purpose. The German mutely held
out his crumpled piece of paper, and
the officer read:
Our captain wants to surrender
with his 400 men, il you will promise
that their lives will be safe"
Hungry and Disheartened.
"Why do you not want to go on
fighting?" said the Belgian officer
We are hungry" was the reply.
Our trenches are practically swamped,
We are up to the waist in water. Your
shells are continually falling among
US We would rather die and be done
h @T,T
The officer saw that the offer OF
surrender was genuine, and that the
soldier was perfectly hvid and his
clothes were a mass of mud Accord
ingly, on the back Of the scrap OF pa
per the man had brought he wrote; II
you come unarmed you have nothing
OF fear" The soldier took the paper,
and began his painful return journey
Hurry upp' cried a Belgian soldier
to him, ''it is more comfortable here
than over there"
The Belgians saw the German regain
his trench, an dthen for half an hour
nothing happened. But suddenly along

Fired on by Comrades.
But they had not advanced 90 yards
from their trenches, before a fierce
fusillade broke out. The Germans
halted and flung themselves face for
ward, to the ground. They explained
later, that at first thought it was the
Belgians who were firing on them, but
soon they realized that the bullets were
coming from their own trenches. At
this they lost their heads, and made a
wild dash for the Belgian lines, which
they reached only after considerable
loss.
