tons Of the Germans against the
French on the left bank of the Marine
bridge over that river was held by a
ruse of six hours by bicycle squad
of 10 pioneers, with the German van
guard 20 kilometers away and with an
English brigade in bivouac two kilo-
meters west of the bridge and a
French cavalry division a short dis
lance east of 1t.
The officer in charge of the pioneers
had been instructed to ascertain
whether the bridge was still intact.
On his arrival he found that such was
the case and pursuant to instructions
proceeded to fortify the little shanty
of the bridge-tender by placing sand
bags against its walls. In addition
the telegraph and telephone wires
running across the bridge were cut
and the tracks of the railroad were
torn up.
While the pioneers were busily en-
gagged in this, about 100 French re-
servists put in appearance. The men
had just been called in and had to
cross the bridge to reach their des-
tination. How to hold the bridge un-

JAPS ACTION
IN CHINA PURELY
A WAR MEASURE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Toxic, Oct. 17-In order to prevent q
false impression abroad Japanese Of
ficials are careful not to use the word
occupation when speaking of the
capture of German possessions IN the
Pacific by Japanese fleet or of the
seizure of the railroad in Shantung
province, China. The Chinese govern
ment has registered several protests
against the taking of the railroad on
the ground that it is a violation of
China's neutrality. The Japanese
claim that the seizure of the entire
line from Tsing-tan to Tsinanfu was,
like the taking of Jaluit island in
the Marshall group, a military necessi-
ty in the conduct of the war and in the
elimination of the root of the German
influence in eastern Asia.
The Chinese contention that China
having staked out a war zone with
Weihsien as the western point Japan
had no right to move west of Weihsien
and seize the railroad as far as Tsin-
anfu is not accepted by Japan, who
maintains she never agreed to stay
within any zone. She has told China
that the Germans (who really OWL the
road) used it for military purposes be-
fore the arrival of the japanese and
that the reduction of the fortress at
Tsingtao carried with 1t inevitably
the seizure of the whole length of the
Shantung railroad.
The question of the permanent
possession of the Shantung rail-
road, like the possession of the ia
luit island, according to the Jap
anese. must be settled at the conclus-
ion of the war. So far as KiauChau
is concerned it is expected here that
Japan will live up to her promise to
restore the place eventually to China.

action in the South Pacific is of pc
culiar interest to the United States

PLANS FOR GERMAN
WINTER CAMP AICN
In Russia Might Possibly Be
Held Up to Await erman Oc-
cupancy of Russian Territory

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.)
Berlin, Nov. 1.-The prospect of a
winter campaign in Russia presents
no terrors to the German military
writer's, now dealing with the problem
of a long continuance of the war.
Far from anticipating a repetition of
Napoleon's disastrous experience in
the Moscow campaign, they look upon
the great Corsican's conquerors, Cen
eral December and General January,
as allies who will remove for them
two of the greatest obstacles to opera
lions against the Russians, namely,
the transportation problem and that
of overcoming the natural defenses of
the country, its swamps and rivers.
The expert of the Deutsche Tages-
zeitung points out, too, that the Rus
slams, in order to stem the German
advance, have relied largely on en-
trenchments laid out on a tremendous
scale. Once the ground is solidly
frozen the construction of such works
for defence will be greatly hampered.
Every battle has demonstrated the
value to the Russians of the trenches
and other military field works. says

cases to take positions so protected
and the Russian successes have been
mostly due to the layingout of forti-
fled positions in the open field.
With the ground frozen and no Ion
ger easily worked with pick and shovel
the laying-out of earth workers will
be extremely difficult, and the Rus
slams, whose forte from the times OF
Napoleon to Mukden, has lain in the
defence of field Notifications, will thus
lose the most important factor in de-
fensive tactics.
Troops operating on the offensive
must deal with the fifth element as
Napoleon called the Russian mud. In
the winter the bad roads are covered
with snow and may then be used by
sleighs, and the great rivers and
swamps which form the principal fac
tors in the Russian defense lines will

crossing the bridge until O'Clock
that night. The barricade which the
men were building, added the officer,
was intended to facilitate the defense
of the bridge against the Germans.
AS the German officer stated in his
letter which brought this news, the
French reseryists believed the story,
though they found it difficult to I'M
derstand why they should be barred
from crossing the bridge. Finally
this also was overcome by the plausl-
bility of the story told by the officer,
and later the Frenehmen went to a
nearby village to secure meat and
wine for the supposed English patrol
The German officer was urged To
the French reservists to retreat
when the Germans put in appearance
after six hours of anxious waiting by
the pioneer squad. This he refused
to do with the remark that he did not
fear the Germans. Later the French
reservists had the doubtful pleasure
of hearing the officer tell them: I'VE
are Germans also" The officer has
been given the Iron Cross.

DEFENDS PROPERTY WITH RIFLE
TO PREVENT SERVING OF WRIT
BY SHERIFF AND HIS OFFICERS

Skowhegan, Me-, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD,
With rifle in his hands and every
door to his house and barn barricaded
with locks and bars, B. F. Stanley OF
st. Adams Wednesday defled the sher-
iff and four of his deputies and assist
ants to make any attempt to enter
his house or barn. The rifle was new,
having been purchased within a week
to prevent being intruded upon. 1t was
a case where mans house is his
castle and in this case it proved to be
fort.
The occasion of the visit of the sher-
iff and his officers was to make an
attachment on the live stock and hay
in the barn that was said to be the
property of the wife. The man inform
ed the officers that the property was
his and emphasized his remarks by
shaking the rifle. The old man demand
ed writ of replevin with bond
double the amount of the property in
volved. The attorney present stated to
the officers that a wife could not re-
plevin from the husband, but the man
insisted and the officers having nc
papers to work on were obliged to
leave for the time being.
The case involves many incidents. IT
appears that about two weeks ago a
German and his wife came to the
home saying that they had been en-
gagged in Bangor by Mr.. Stanley to
work on his farm. Mrs. Stanley said
that Mr.. Stanley owned no farm, that
1t was hers. and she did not need help,
They went in, however, and after Mr.
Stanley had come home Mrs. Stanley
stepped out for few minutes and
the doors were then shut on her, ac-
cording to her story, and she has not

then be covered with ice, permitting
easy crossing everywhere.
1.-The idea that winter was the best
season in which an attack on Russia
might be made is that of genial SOL
der of history, Charles XII of Sweden,
who afterwards demonstrated the COR
rectness of his conclusion. He waited
with his advance into Russia in 1707
until cold weather had set in, and after
the rivers and swamps of Poland had
been frozen over, he crossed the Visit
ula on December 90 and advanced rap
idly as far as wilma, where he intend
ed to overtake the retreating Russians.
The enemy, however, retreated again,
and this winter campaign brought no
result, because King Charles could not
get the Russians to stand
Napoleon counted on the aid Of
winter in his campaign in 1906. But
the weather was against him. Decem-
Der of that year left the roads as soft
as they had been in the autumn, and
the French were obliged to quarter
themselves upon the Poles and wait
for cold weather. Frost finally came
on February l and six days later the
battle at Prussian- Eylau was fought.
Napoleon, as well as King Charles,
awaited themseles of the oportunity
offered by harder roads and frozen
rivers.
"As Carl Bleibtrau in his work on the
campaign of Napoleon in Russia in
1912 has shown, it was not the cold
that demanded the greatest sacrifices
in human lives. Napoleon lost 100000
men on his advance into Russia and
only 100000 men on his retreat. 1t
was also shown then that the Russians
suffered as much from the cold as did
the French and that both armies were
hampered by the ice. Napoleon's re-
treat was due to a shortage of powred,
only one-half of the quantity thought
available being on hand. The supply
service had failed altogether"
Major Moraht, the military expert
Of the Tageblatt, points out that rail-
roads have also revolutionized condi-
tons since Napoleon's time. Railroad
construction now advances almost as
fast as an army and to an army pro-
vided with half dozen lines of steel
leading back to it's base the problem
of ammunition and food supply pre-
sents no difficulties, even in Russia.

UNITED STATES POL
ICY TOWARD China
Has Resulted in Decline of
American Trade and Gain by
Japanese in That Country,
Says Former u. S. Minister
w. w. Rockhill

New York, Nov. 12-The policy of the
United States toward China has result
ed in the ascendancy of Japan and the
decline of American influence and
trade, said w. w. Rockhill, former
minister to China, and now special
advisor to President Yuan Shi-kai, in
an address tonight to the Asiastic
Institute. The attitude of the present
administration at Washington. Mr..
Rockhill said, had occasioned the
profound regret of China and her
friends"
Mr.. Rockhill asserted that from 1908
Japan had taken the place of the
United States as guardian of the open
door, in China, and become its chief
exponent. Japan renewed her alliance
with Great Britain in 1905 pledging the
maintenance of the .'open door,"
mot content with these pledges of
its good faith in the policy of the
open door in China" said Mr.. Rock
hill, Japan, in 1907, pledged herself
again to it in an agreement with
France, and yet again in 1908 to the
United States"
From this point Mr.. Rockhill traced
the decline of American interests in
China and criticized this country's
Eastern policy.
There is absolutely no doubt" he
said, that in Southern Manchuria
