sick. and through sheer pluck 0 is sticking to his job. This is to be admired, but it is only right to the patrons of the game also to the players for him to retire until he has recovered his health
 Of late there has been much com plaint against his work and yester- day in the first game of the momentous series with the Pelicans, he first called Hendryx out and then changed his decision This resulted in the election of Eddie Mcdonald from the game for rightly leading the Barons in vigor- ous protest.
 This poor work, undoubtedly, may be attributed to impaired health, but this should not be allowed to interfere with the discharging of his duties If Bretenstein is too sick to render his best services, he should be relieved until he can get back into good con dition. Good umpiring is essential to the welfare of the game and should be provided.

JAPAN'S ACTION
 NOT A SURPRISE

Japan's action did not come as an en- tire surprise. It was the climax of series of diplomatic moves in which the United States had been consulted.
 Japans assurances that she will main tain the integrity of China are regarded Sy American officials as Satisfactory, and xhere is no disposition here to believe the administration will assume any attitude other than that of passive observer should Japan declare war.
 The far east situation for several days has been regarded by officials as deli cate one. Almost simultaneously with the outbreak of hostilities in Europe. Ching appealed to the American,l government. expressing the hope that she might rely on the previous policyfof the United States as an influence Against the viola ton of her neutrality. The American government, 1t Is understood, did not in dicate what her attitude would be, pre- ferring to outline her position as devel- opments arose. Immediately Germany began to sound the American govern ment as to the possibility of neutralizing the German provinces in China. and the attitude of Germany was conveyed infor- mally through the United Starcs to Japan.
 Ambassador Guthrie al TolSio has had many conversations with the Japanese government in which the intimation was constantly given that the United States could feel assured of Japan's intention to maintain the integrity of China.

Russia Mobilizes Rapidly

Russian mobilization has been carried out with remarkable rapidity. The army is ready to assume the offensive which will soon make itself felt. Already in Galicia Russian cavalry has crossed the frontier, driving back the Austrians. Far ther east an Austrian detachment which penetrated south of Tarnopol has been defeated.
 Troops also are moving against Ger many. The Germans made superhuman efforts last year to strengthen the fort resses on the Vistula. notably at Gau- dens and Thorn. Nevertheless. their sit uation is insecure. They have been obliged to call up all kinds of reserves to back the five active army corps and it is doubtful whether these forces can resist the Russian attack as long as the Germans hoped"

that every American interest will be amply safeguarded. The Japanese em- bassy while reticent, is known to be fully advised as to what has occurred and to be in constant cable communica- tion with Tokio. Ambassador Chinda conferred with Secretary Bryan tonight and made the official announcement.
 The salient features fin this new and grave issue, made known through au- thoritative sources are.
 Japan's action was taken on the pro- posal of Great Britain and after full con- ferences which led to the determination that the Anglo-Japanese treaty of al- liance applied to the present situation, the two allies, Great Britain and Japan, are therefore co-operating in the action now in progress.

JAPAN TEACHES THE
 WEST VALUE OF
 WARP ARE SECRECY
All Powers Now Engaged In European Death Grapple Have Learned That
 Lesson

London. August 16.-dO:5o D. m.)-While Japan has borrowed most of her military science from Europe. she taught the west, in return, the value of secrecy in warfare. All the powers engaged in the European death grapple have learned that lesson.
 Reports from Belgium say German prisoners have no resimental insignia on their uniforms and have been instructed to refuse information as to what regi- ments they are attached. In 1870. the English newspapers gave full accounts of the German and French regiments, where they were anu what regiments composed each army. The commands and personalities of all the leading gen. erals were widely known.
 Over all these details the armies en- gagged in the war theatre in western Eu- rope, except perhaps the Belgian, have folded a shroud of mystery concerning the men who will play the greatest parts in the drama. The public knows almost nothing about the commander in chief of the French army. General Joseph J. c. Joffre, who Is not an advertising general Even the French people know less about him than almost any man who ever guided their milItary machine. The present dispositions of the comDatant forces, their movements and plans, are chiefly matters of guss-work. Experts can only surmise that during the dark ness of the past fortnight of mobiliza- ton and of suspense for Europe, the four great armies of Germany, France, Aus tria and Russia have been moving into positions which those who have theofized on the subject have expected.
 Was Great Battle Fought Hoday?
 The great mobilization appears to have proved one fact, that even the German organization, when put to the test under real war conditions, could not move as fast as expected. The great swift battle on the French frontier, whihc was due last week, has not begun, so far as is known, or perhaps 1t may be beginning today.
 Not even the Japanese were able to cover their movements with such a cloud of secrecy as the millions of men now marching on the greatest scale the world has ever known.
 The censorship, which has been drawn around Europe except for few outlying neutral countries, is chiefly responsible for the success of this up-to date military secrecy No telegram, private or for newspapers, goes out of any belligerent country without passing under the eye and the pencil of a keen censor Germany and Austria almost have sealed the other usual means of communication.
 British newspapers discuss the war more freely than the continental press. but under the imperative request of the war office they say nothing of the move ments of troops or ships The German newspapers, according to reports. print only official news
 The British army permits few war correspondents to take the field, but un- de strict rules The French staff pro- hibits correspondents at the front from using the telegraphs. The Russian army will have no correspondents. The German staff is known strongly to disapprove of them.
