PEKING, Nov. 2S.-Immediately af-
ter the declaration of war reservists
of the several continental nations that
were implicated proceeded by prev
ious standing arrangements, back to
Europe or to various centers of mobil-
ization in the Far East The Germans
went to Tsing-Tao; Frenchmen to va
rious garrisons along the coasts or
proceeded homeward; Austrians went
by way of America back to their ma
tive land. The British have only now
begun to move. Reserve officers of
which there are a number in the Far
East, have been summoned to return
to England, and with them several
hundred young men are leaving China
throwing up their position and pay
ing their own expenses back home to
volunteer. German, French and Aus
trians business houses were at first
seriously affected as a consequence of
the drafting of their clerks. Most of
the German reservists in China sur
rendered to the Japanese when Using
Tau was taken.
Now the British interests are begin
ming to suffer depletion in their stairs,
and also the Chinese customs service

British.
Several score Roman Catholic
priests from the interior of China,
some from the remote province Of
Szechwan having responded to the
requirements of the French ,mobiliza-
ton, have come to garrison posts
along the China coast and at Peking.

ROME, Nov. 28.-The Giornale D.
Italia says that the Russians have oc-
cupied the outer forts of Przemysl.
The Austrians mined the surrounding
territory before abandoning these
points, but the Russians became sus-
picious and drove large herds Of cat
tie ahead of their columns.
When the cattle came within the
mine area the explosions detonated
with great fury, killing the herd. The
Russians then advanced and occupied
the forts without incident.

ONDON, Nov. 2S.-There is sore
nc1 spaper speculation as to whether
the war will follow precedent in insti-
tuting any change in fashions of what
some of the writer's delight to call fur
face" The Waterloo campaign in
troduced the moustache among Eng
lish troops, for it was first borrowed
from certain Austrian officers, then al
lies. 1t was taken up by the Guards,
who resented very much any attempt
to follow the fashion on the part of
mere line regiments, while as for civ
ilians it will be rememb cred, says the
Manchester Guardian, how great a
snub Give Newcome drew upon him
self by wearing a ferocious mus
tache.
The Crimean war brought in the
whisker again, in desperate civilian
emulation of the gallant officers, who
having grown all their hair from sheer
necessity, and perhaps from certain
companionable warmth in the bitter
winter in the trenches, brought back
their new appendages to grace Bond
street and Pail Mall.
The British war Office has made
some effort to encourage the growing
of moustaches among subalterns with
out conspicuous success, and there
are few signs that the trenches of
1914 are going to bring in a new
fashion of boards. CAS- far as one
has observed" says the Guardian,
"the average British soldiers first de-
sire when he gets breathing space
from the trenches, and sometimes in
the trenches themselves is to ri him
self of the beard and whiskers, though
one has seen a few stalwarts in base
towns still bearded, and it must be
confessed that they look much more
awe-inspiring than the clean-shaven
variety. French soldiers near the fir
ing line are less abashed by boards,
and contrive to wear the most ragged
growth with something of an air,
while the younger Belgians seem to
follow the British in their preference
fer clean shaving"

Nov. 27-Delayed in transmission -
The nerve center that moves more
than 100000 men of the French
army is in a village schoolhouse sew
enty miles behind the firing line The
rare observer who is permitted to
approach finds an absolute contrast
between the tranquility here and the

not only far from the disturbance OF
actual conflict, but in the depth of
the country away from the first and
second line of reserves, the inces-

the dislocation of civil life. An air of

is intense here also, twenty-four-

Gen. JOffre's SumOrdinates.


Gen. Joffre has six subordinate
nerve centers in the six armies into
which his forces are divided. The six
generals commanding these armies
Pau, Foch, Dalstein, Franche IEper-
nay, Castelnau and Manouy, each with
his general staff-are connected by di-
rect telegraph and telephone wires
with headquarters. Gen. Joffre often
talks over situations and gives orders
by telephone. He also'is in direct and
frequent communication with Field
Marshal French and Belgian head
quarters, and with Bordeaux and
Paris.
A single sentinel PAGES in front of
the entrance. Except for a few from
tier guards, there are no soldiers in
Gen. Joffre's village, except the young
ish men on his staff, picked for their
talents from among the $4,000 Of
ficers of France. The roads of ap-
proach are watched by gendarmes,
and it is impossible to enter except
by pass signed by one of few select
officials.
Powerful Motor Cars Nearby
The headquarters of commanding
general used to be distinguished by
the orderlies and horse in front, and
his rank could be pretty we'll determ-
ined by their number. Now it is the
number of motor cars. Some fifteen
or twenty long high-power runners
usually are lined up in the playground
of the schoolhouse. There is no toot-
ing of horns.
The cars come and go quietly and
swiftly, but for the most part there is

Warnings Fail, So Autoists Are
Fined.

Automobiles Monday and Tuesday
contributed $27 to Frederick's treasury
as a result of speedings and disregard
for Frederlck's antl-muffler law on last
Sunday. The fine weather tempted many
to take a little spin and TO ''let it out a
little' about Bentztown. Officer Quinn,
who is one of the most adaptable men of
Frederick's police force, was sent to
Bentztown in order to look after the
speeders and he arrested nine in several
hours. The fact that the officer was on
the job got noised about and it is stated
| that many had been acquainted with the
fact that the officer was on hand.
Mayor Fraley sent Officer Quinn to
| Bentztown following request to do SO
| from a delegation of residents OF West
Patrick street. The delegation stated
| that autoists went out the street or in, at
| terrific speeds, and that they were fear
| full that some one would be killed.
In order to prepare for the days work,
| Officer Quinn had Lewis Woodward, the
| city's electrician. to take him out West
| Patrick street on Saturday and had him
run a specified distance at the rate OF
| eight, ten and twelve miles per hour, and
the officer then noted the time it took to
make this distance. He then had his in
formation for Sunday, and it served him
well. He went to the scene in plain
clothes and with a stop-watch and of the
nine arrested. only one, James Enrlght,
was not speeding, but had the "cut OUT

Those arrested were Nelson Bowers,
