U. S. SOLDIERS MAY
BE SENT TO GUARD
CHINESE RAILWAY
Philippine Troops Being
Prepared to Maintain Neu-
trality Agreement, Protect
ing Pekin-Mukden Line.
tFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The first sug-
gestion that armed forces of the United
States might be required to guard Amer
ican interests which are threatened by
the worldwide conflict now raging came
from the War Department today.
1t Is now evident that Japanese opera
tions around Kiao-Chau will involve con-
Railroad, whose naturalization was urged
by ex-Secretary of State Knox, four years
ago. The Pekin to Mukden line, under
an international agreement, Is protected
in case of danger by joint patrol of the
English, French and American Govern
ments, and 1t is probable that the major
burden Of the patrol will fall upon the
United States in the near future.
The danger OF complications arising
from the situation Is evident Clashes
between the American marines and SOL
diers. from the Philippines. who will con-
stitute the patrol, and Japanese soldiers,
might come at any moment, particularly
as the Japanese Government has already
violated Chinese neutrality in its move
-''N'''S W N"Piulc the NtTTnan StTOnH-
hold.
There will be no trouble with japan,
however, II the A Administration can nre-
vent IT. AS matter of fact, the send
ing or a patrol to guard the railroad in
question will be regarded only as a for
NAL duty by President Wilson. He in
herited the obligation, which is directly
IN contravention of his policy in the
Far East announced when American
bankers withdrew from participation on
the 1ve Power Chinese loan He Is de-
termined that nothing shall come which
will disturb American relations with
Japan or any of the nations in the pres
ent conflict.
The strengthening of fortifcations in
the Philippines. II is stated in official
quarters, Is purely defensive and is not
to be regarded as being a forerunner OF
operations.
Conditions In the Orient have not In
the least changed as the result of the
announcement that the United States will |
participate In the probable policing of |
the Pekin-Mukden Railroad. it is stated. |

SWEEP ENEMY
TOWARD RUSSIAN FRONTIER
Ausro- Hungarian Consul in Review for Evening Ledger
Discusses Retreat of Cars Forces in Galicia and
Expulsion From Hungary.

Russian claim, however, that the fortress
of Przemys is still invested Is untena BILE
In View of the news that the Russian
army has been driven back everywhere
in northeastern and southeastern direc-
ton.
simultaneously with the Austro- Hun
Sarian army holding the whole eastern
bank of the San River from the point
of confluence with the Vistula River in
southeastern direction UP to Medyka
east of Przemsyl, and then in a southern
direction along the railway from Przemysl
to Chyrow other Austro- Hungarian
forces are operating which have driven
back the Russian armies beyond the
passes of the Carpathian Mountains, and
are now advancing in a northeastern d.
rection to Sambor, Stryj, Stanslaw, in
Galicia, and in the direction of Sereth,
In Bukowina. They form, therefore, the
extreme southeastern wing of the Aus
tro-Hungarian army in Galicia, opposing
the Russian forces which invaded
Hungary.
According to official news received to-
d2y, Stryj, in Galicia, and Sereth, in
BukHvina have already been taken by
our advance forces. 1t therefore seems
certain that Russian soldiers are no
longer on Hungarian soil and that the
Austro Hungarian army is steadily gain
ing ground in southeastern Galicia
The reports of the decentralization of
the Austro-Hungarian army, which re-
peatedly had been declared defeated and
routed and had been represented as a
remnant not to be reckoned with any
further as factor of war, appear there
fore not only grossly exaggerated, but
are pure inventions.
The Austro-H Hungarian army after the
victorious engagements in Russian Po-
land had to stem the tide of overwhelm-
ing Russian forces invading eastern Ga
iicia and were forced to retreat in a west
orly direction. The Austro- Hungarian
army. however accomplished success
fully its task by making impossible n
RUSSIAN advance through Russian Po-
land to German Silesia and Posen. It
thereby enabled concentration of the
German and Austrian forces in south
western Poland and their advance to the
Nistula River.
The Russians, though they yet hold
part but by no means scven-eighths of
the KINGDOM of Galicia, as they assert
are farther from Berlin and Vienna than
at the beginning of the war.
Even in the occupied parts of eastern
Gallcla the Russian administration is not
that it will remain, as official
news has reached this consulate to the |
erect that all official buildings in Lem
bcrg mad been undermined with the in
tent OF being blown up in case OF eyacu- |
atlon or the city, and that the famous |
Follsh library in the Osselinslsy Institute |
N LemberS had been sent to PetroErad. |

In the trenches last week were two
Tommies A few yards away a French
soldier was in difficulties. owing to his
own trench not being deep enough. At
risk Of death from flying bullets. one of
the English crawled forward, and with
his bayonet proceeded calmly to deepen
the Frenchman's little trench.
There has been a great deal of talk
la tely about the British troops which are
heing sent 20 the front having been pro-
vided with German raZors, a correspond
ent writes. A number OF dealers who
are well known In the cutlery trade said
that there was no truth In the rumor,
speaking generally. In isolated cases a
few Gernan-made razors may have been
served out In hurry, they say, but only
very few. There Is no necessity to
provide the British soldiers with any
forelgn-made cutlery, because the deal
crs have good stock, more than SUM-

Hungarian Consul General. Phiiudel-
phid, aud Lieutenant Colonel OF tho
Austro- Hungarian Army.

AuStrO Hungarian Consul General, PhiudeI-
phtd, aud Lieutenant Colonel OF the
Austro- Hungarian Armp
The reports published during last week
as to the operations of the Austro-Hun-
garian and Russian forces in Galicia, par
ticularly our news announcing that the
siege of the fortress of Przemysl had been
lifted by the advance of the Austro-Hun-
garian army. and the Russian news that
the fortress Is still invested and under
siege, have T$en so conflicting that the
reader is left in !oubt as to what actually
happened. For one who Is not familiar
with the various places in Galicia, where
fighting is going on at present, it will be
rather difficult to gain clear idea as to
the battle line. Therefore, it seems de-
sirable to review the engagements
during the last week in order clearly to
define the present strategic positions of
the fighting armies.
Austro- Hungarian forces, which form
the southern wing of the German and
Austrian armies advancing on the Wis.,
tula River in Russian Poland assumed
the offensive on or about October 10
against the Russian forces. Our army
reached Tarnow, in western Galicia,
shortly afterward, and after successful
engagements In the neighborhood OF
Rzeszow. Lancut and Dynow, reached the
fortress Of Przemysl. thereby relieving the
defenders of the fortress first on the
western side.
by advances made at the same time TO
the san River and by driving the Rus
SLAMS beyond that river at Jaroslaw.
Sieniava and at Rozvadow, the territory
north and northwest of the fortress be-
came free OF the enemy, and a junction
was effected with the German and Aus
trian armies in Russian Poland near
Sandomierz Later. the Austro- Hunga-
rian troops also attacked the Russian
forces east. south and southeast of
Przemysl and succeeded In repulsing
them in the engagements of Chyrow,
south OF Przemysl, and of Stary-Sa mbor.
southeast of the fortress. The only Rus
sian forces which still offer stubborn re-
sistance to the Austro- Hungarian adj
vance movement are those east of the
Przemysl in the Medyka region The
fact that the township of Medyka is sit
uated ten miles east of the fortress Of
Przemysl, on the eastern bank of the San |
River. has been probably taken as a rea-
son for the repeated Russian claim that |
the Russian army is still besieging the |
fortress OF Przemysl. as 1t is not impos- |
sible to continue a bombardment of the |
eastern outer forts from that place. The |
