CALLS KAISER MATTOID,
BLAMES HIM FOR WAR
French Scientist FinOt Says
Lombroso Agreed as to En-
perOr's Malady.
Special Cable Despatch 10 TIE srS

PARIS, Oct. 3.-Jean Finot publishes
IN the forthcoming number OF the
Revue a sketch OF the Kaiser He
says:
when was at Turin Lombroso

Emperor. whom he declared to be-
merely marked mattoid. that is. n kind
Of mnAman. We agreed to publish a
psychiatric study OF the monarch whose
accesses OF verbomania and megalo-
mania. Joined to hereditary desire. have
never ceased to disquiet psychologists,
but we adjourned publication indet-
nitely on account Of political oppor-
tuneness."
NJ. Finot believes that no sudden &C
cess drove the Kaiser TO war and that
this action was only a manifestation
OF that slow, continuous malady which
has been undermining him and his
reign In a succession OF frenzied acts.
lie continues:
Through the force OF inertia be-
queathed by the preceding reign and
especially thanks to the laborious and
persevering qualities OF the German
nation Germany has not been ship
wrecked despite the Emperor and the
Cansrilla."
The writer cites the Kaiser's in
gratitude" as natural consequence
Of his folly, instancing his treatmen,
OF the Pole KoscielsK and the Kruger
incident" He continues:
AN enthusiastic welcome was given
to Count Witte on his return from the
United States after signing the Russo
Japanese treaty, the Kaiser calling
Count Witte a second Bismarck Then
he intrigued so that Count Witte was
forced TO quit power.

CHINA PROTESTS AGAIN

Insists That Occupation Of
Shantung Town Is Breach
Of Neutrality.

PrKIS. oct. S.--The Chinese Govern
ment, in replying to the latest Japanese
note. repeats that II considers the Japa-
nese occupation Of wei-hslen, shantung
a breach OF neutrality and that further
occupation OF the ShantNine Railroad
would he a further violation.
The presence Of Japanese troops on
Chinese territory outside Of the prescribed
war area was taken up at length to-day
by the State Council. under the chair
manship Of Vice-President II Yuan-sheng.
The members Of the Council expressed
the opinion that the japanese would make
another Manchuria out OF the province
or ShantunR and that the sending OF
Japanese troops along the Shantung
railroad was not necessary as a military
measure.
Some Of the speakers voiced the opin-
Ion that there was no excuse or justin
cation for Great Brltain's countenancng
such n policy in view OF the attitude
she maintained when the neutrality OF
Belgium was violated.

LONDON. Oct 3.-The Paris correspon-
dent OF the Morning Post says that Victor
Jonnesco. secretary OF the Rumanian
Legation in Paris and nephew Of the Prime
Minister OF Rumania, has given out a
statement attacking the position OF King
Charles of Rumania.
The secretary OF the legation Is quoted
as saying:
From the commencement OF this

have been hostile to Germany and Austria.
This hostility II pushing the people 20
drastic action. The cry IL for a greater
Rumania and the liberation OF our
brothers in Transylvanis. Undoubtedly
the situation has placed King Charles
in a dilemma. for he already has made
his choice between his outy as King Of
a free people and his duty aS a Hohen-
zollern. The latter proved too dear to
his heart he is serving his caste and will
do no until his death.
When Russia proposed TO King Charles
that he occupy Pennsylvania and Bukowina
he refused, declaring his troops were
needed to guard the frontier To-day
Bukowlna which Is just AS Rumanian as
Pennsylvania. is occupied by Russian
troops and has been declared a Russian
province.
This policy Of King Charles will give
him In history the role of traitor to the
interests OF his country. although he IS

LOSING ground at the east end OF the
main battle line at a time when 1t seems
absolutely necessary for them TO hold
what advances they had made. The
Crown Prince. whose mlsfortunes nave
been constant danger to the whole
German force in France, has been
thrown back to the north OF Narennes.
Several days ago his army retook Var
ennes in an advance toward Nerdun.
The significance of his repu.se and re-
treat is that the attack upon the bar-
rier fortresses from the west has weak
ened while the assault from the cast
by the Crown Prince of Bavaria and
Gen. Won Heeringen has made no def
mite progress.
Coincidently, the French are keeping
their grip upon the heights OF the
Meuse, have forced the Germans from
the left bank and are continuing the
occupation OF the Woevre district. All
reports from the eastern end OF the bat
tie line are distinctly favorable. What
Paris IL eager To hear is news OF def
mite success AT the west end
There is credible Information that the
incessant attacks upon the allies left
wing are costing the Germans heavily
and that they are losing at least two
men TO every one lost by the allies. This
is the result OF the maintenance OF their
parade ground formations In assaults
against the trenches. These attacks are
being delivered night and day, but they
are always repulsed.
