COTTON BELT STRIKE
ENJOINED BY COURT
ORDER. HOWEVER. DOES NOT
PREVENT BROTHERHOOD
TAKING A STRIKE VOTE.

Western Newspaper ,rian HrwS Service
ST. LOuis.-Three railway brother
hoods were restrained by the Circuit
Court Monday from calling a strike
on the ST. Louis Southwestern (Cot-
ton Belt Railway.
The injunction vas directed against
officers of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the brotherhood OF Lo-
comotive Firemen and Enginemen.
The court ruled, however, that the
injunction did not prevent the unions
from taking a strike vote. The in
junction was granted at the request
OF six union men, who alleged the
strike order was issued after some
of the men who had voted in favor
OF a strike had asked that their votes
be changed.
The difficulty between the railroad
company and the engineers arose out
of the discharge IF a conductor on
ground of intoxication. The union
leaders insisted he was not intoxi-
Gated.
The railroad company invoked fed
eral mediation, which was accepted
by the unions.
The court said that the union Off
Gals in asking for the strike vote
should have set forth both sides of the
controversy. This was not done. the
court said. and the union officials pre-
sented to the men only the claims OF
the discharged conductor.

JAPANESE PRAISE
GERMANS BRAVERY
OFFICIAL VERSION OF THE CAP
TURE OF TSINGTAU AFTER
STUBBORN RESISTANCE.

Tokio-After desperate assaults in
which the Japanese in Ine face of he
roic resistance repeated the bravery
of their forces at Port Arthur, Tsin-
tau surrendered Saturday at 9:20 4.
m. At that hour Gov. Meyer-Wal-
deck sent an officer with flag OF
truce to the Anglo-Japanese lines. At
4 p. m. the Japanese and German Off
GERS opened a conference at Moltke
barracks when the formalities of cap
itulation were concluded.
Japanese officers pay unstinted tri-
butte to the bravery of the Germans,
who fought tenaciously to the last.
Unofficial reports are that the Ger
mans blew up what was left of their
forts before surrendering. Virtually
the whole town is in ruins. A Japan
ese torpedo boat fiotilla that entered
the bay found nearly all the ships had
been destroyed.
An official estimate places the jap
anese killed in the final assault FRIDAY
night at SO, with 1872 wounded. The
British took an important part in the
victory and two British officers were
wounded. No statement of the Ger
man casualties is available, but It is
believed they were heavy.
The minister of war states that
| the lessons learned from the siege
were first the destructiveness of the
heavy guns that the Japanese used for
the first time and, second, the effec.
tiveness of the aeroplane observation

ing in Germany.

London.-The Germans have given
up, for the present at least, thei.'
efforts to break through the allied
lines around Ypres IN Belgium. The
British and French have taken the
offensive in this region, and, accord
ing to reports from French headquar-
ters, have commanded to advance.
The Germans claim success at only
one point on the western battle front.
That is to the west of the Argonnes
region where the German emperor's
forces have succeeded in taking from
the French an important height near
Vienne-le-Chateau.
Elsewhere the French troops have
made progress and retaken the posi-
tions which they had lost during the
course of the week. This is notably
so in the Aisne valley around Sois-
sons.
Bereians Hold Lines to Coast.
The Belgians, who are holding the
line reaching to the coast, also have
made progress and thus 1t would seem
that the Germans still are waiting for
additional reinforcements before re-
newing their attempt to smash through
to the French sea ports.
The fighting Sunday was carried on
in a fog which interfered with the
work of the airmen and likewise TIL,
artillery.
While the reports Of the allies Of
fensive in the west have given hope
in London that the Germans will fall
back to a line further removed from
the sea, all uneasiness has not passed.

violence, and under the fierce cannon
aiding the allies had to withdraw from
the town. which became a no mans
land across which shells from both
sides burst.
The Germans made a superhuman
and final effort under cover OF a fierce
bombardment of the British positions.
The assault was met by two regi-
ments, one Scottish and one OF the
Guards, which went down with bayo-
nets to stem the advance. 1t was the
most terrible bayonet charge of the
whole war and it succeeded.
That was the last German effort
against Ypres. They are now assai!-
ing the allied line at Arras, 40 miles
further to the south, but not with the
same fury.
so fierce has been the fighting
around Ypres that the German casual

these figures may prove exaggerated" >"
Germans Prepare For a Retreat.
4 dispatch to the Times from Rot
terdam says that a Dutchman return
ing from Selzaete, in East Flanders,
states that the Germans have prepar-
ed the first bridge over the Ghent-Ter-
neusen canal and between this and
the next bridge are constructing
trenches facing the direction of Ant
werp. The Germans had been unable
to repair the main railway bridge,
which the Belgians destroyed.
II is reported that the Germans
fighting in South Belgium are chief
ly volunteers and that six million vol
unteers between the ages of 10 and
81 years are drilling in Germany.
Several Dutch correspondents who,
despite the rigorous enforcement or.
der against leaving Belgian territory,
have managed to cross the frontier by
an old path used by smugglers. agree
that the Germans are apparently max
ing preparation to retreat. Norther.
ly Flanders is being covered with

This would appear to indicate that tho
Germans would have given up their
Russian adventure and will once more
concentrate against France and
Great Britain in Belgium. Clearly the
Russians, who have cut the railway
at Pleschen, are sending along forces
with great rapidity on both flanks of

Germans are retreating.
