ENclE BACK FROM ORIENT

George Engle returned today oil the Ava Maru from a two months tour of Japan which he made with the Seattle All- Star ball team composed of Jap anese players of Seattle, Tacoma and other coast cities. The tour was not a success financially, largely owing to a
 ack of pitching talent on the .ourlng team. but Engle had a splendid trip and he asserts that baseball is booming ill the land of the Mikado at a rate which bids fair to land the Jap
 aese in the very fore front of diamond pastimerS before many years have passed. Engle was the only pitcher on the Nippon team who could win against the speedy and clever aggregations Of the leading cities in Japan. He pitched four games and won two and the three other con tests included in the schedule resulted in overwhelming vic tories for the home teams. .-Se- attle Times.

FROM TUESDAYS DAILY

London. 0ea 27-The Lon
 con Mails eorreSp pondent wire
 over this morning that there arg 2,5O0 bodies of dead Ger
 man soldiers in the lSer Cane north and south of DiNmuie a> .he result of the fighting las, night. the fiercest. closest and iloodiest since the beginning of the war. Many of the dead had met their death from
 drowning. others had gaping
 wounds from shot, shell and bullet. some had met the colo. steel of the hayonet, while others still claspad the throat of foe who in turn had cho2k- ed him 10 death and both had then been trampled underf0oi by the onrushing legions of the Kaiser in their attempt to oibey his imperial mandate to reach the coast last night or die in the attempt. and die they did. but their living comrades this morning inStea : ot bc ls at the coast are further back from il than they were last night be- fore their charge. The water of the different canals at Dix nude are bloody, and the streets Of the little town were thiekly strewn with the dead
 from both armies. The ghoul-
 ish facts alone can give an ad-
 equese ;dea of the desperation of inc German advance and inc stUbborneSS. Of the Allies re- si>tance. The night was pitch dars. with a gale blowing up from the English Channel. and ram falling in torrents. The
 first intimation Of the German advance was the shots of the
 Allied oufpoSts as they were pressed back. Then the figh;
 started. at first each side shot indiscriminately in the dark ness at each other. then as the Germans rushed forward i'll solid columns the bavone, was brought into play. and then man grappled man. each dying where he stood. The Germans had orders 10 set through 10 the coast. and they gave their all, life. in the attempt They crossed the Grand Canal as il av were bid. but there they were unable to stay when the Bel gian and British made a counter bayonet charge driving them down the slippery banks of the canal to drown in the waters below. They did all that hu- man might could do. but they were outnumbered and out fought. l: is estimated that at last a quarter of a million Germans participated in the at tack.
