Berlin Guarded By
 Boys of Fourteen

London, Aug. 20, 6:4o a. m.-The Times correspondent at Rotterdam telegraphs a statement. which he says was made to him by a party of Chinese medical men, who have ar, rived in Rotterdam from Berlin.
 ''When we left Berlin Saturday night" says the statement. "the city was in the hands of old men and boys, Not an able bodied man was to be seen. All the bridges were guarded by boys of about fourteen years of age, who stood with fixed bayonets. A fortnight ago the Friedrichstras sse bridge was badly damaged by Rus sian bomb. We ourselves saw the damage done.
 "A corps of Amazons is being raised in Berlin, leaflets having been dis tributed calling the women to arms"
 "A week ago an attempt was made to blow up the bridge of Zoologische Bahnhof, without success, a Russian spy being sabred by an officer. The German soldiers look very fit and are splendidly equipped"

 of Kiau-Chau,

Picking, China, Aug. 20.-China to- day inquired of the United States what its attitude would be toward the cession by Germany to the United States of the territory of Kiau-Chau for immediate cession thereafter back to China.
 The inquiry of the Chinese govern ment was made to the American charge d'affaires, and it was under stood to be based on intimation from Germany that such a course might solve the problem.
 The Chinese government is not. sure that such a program would meet with the approval of Japan or Great Britain and the opinion is freely ex- pressed that it will not. But China has informed the United States that no matter what action Japan may take as a result of her ultimatum the Chinese republic will preserve an ab- solutely passive attitude.
