JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
 PROTECTS FOREIGN SHIPPERS.
Permits Them to Enjoy Benefit of Ger
 man. Japanese Commercial Treaty.

New York, Sept 13.-The East and West News bureau tonight made pulp lie a cable message from Tokio as fol- lows:
 With the war the German Japanese commercial treaty has ceased to be effective, and as a result all imports that had been enjoying the benefit of the German Japanese conventional clause would naturally be subject to the general tariff. In view, however, of the loss to be sustained thereby by foreign shippers, the Japanese govern ment, by a law promulgated on Sept. 10th, permits the enjoyment of the aforesaid benefits to importers of all goods, whether they were shipper or stored in bonded warehouses, before the declaration of war, that is, Aug. 23, or are to be shipped or stored in bonded warehouses, after the begin ming of hostilities, provided the ship pers declare that the importation will be made before the end of March, 1915.
 The same law allows until July 31, 1915, the maximum time limit for ex- emption from duty to certain goods imported into Japan for reshipment abroad. These goods are specified in article of the existing tariff law, and were granted the exemption from duty if exported within one year from the date of importation. The law passed on Sept 10 allows the time limit for re-exportation, expiring between the dates of Aug. 1, 1914, and July 30, 1915, to be uniformly extended to the end of July, 1915."

 those of our allies are admirable. The
 pursuit will be continued with all our | energy. The government of the re- public may well be proud of the army | which it has equipped.

GERMANS MAY MAKE
 STAND AT ST. QUENTIN.
Military Experts Are of Opinion That
 is Plan Contemplated.

Bordeaux. Sept. 13. 3.15 p. milf the German armies are still in a condition to offer resistance they will, in the opinion of well informed experts, do so along the line extending from Per onne through St. Quentin and Mezieres to Ardennes. The only army not fall ing back is that of Crown Prince Fred erick William. south of the Forest of Argonne.
 It is probable. according to the ex- perts. that the crown prince has been unable to find safe line of retreat. The Argonne district is difficult mountainous region. without roads, and the crown prince would be com pelled either to move northeast or northwest In the first case, it is de- clared he would be attacked from Yer dun, while the econd would throw him with the Duke of Wuerttemburg' s army. which would involve both armies in confusion.
 The experts therefore are of the opinion that 1t Is most probable that the crown prince if he is forced to re- tire, will attempt to break through eastward between Verdun and Soilly

LARGE FOREST FIRE
 ON LONG ISLAND
Created Report That a Steamer Was
 Burning in the Sound.

New Haven. Conn, Sept. 13.-Marine circles in New Haven and vicinity were agitated for several hours tonight over the report of a vessel supposed to be burning in the sound, but which proved to be the reflection of a large forest fire on Long Island aln9ost op- posite this city. Several vessels pass ed through the reflected glare, which probably gave reason to the report that a ship was burning, as the rig ging of the ship was said to have stood out in bold relief through glass es.
 Lighthouse keepers, long shoremen, and others nautically inclined were even fooled, and it was not until sev- eral launches had put to sea, includ- ing some chartered by newspapers, that the nature of the blaze was de- termined. Up to a late hour news paper offices were besieged with tele- phone calls from all along the shore asking for information concerning the supposed burned ship.

 "The total Austrian and German forces exceeded 100000 men, with 2,50O guns-that is. over 40 divisions of infantry, II divisions of cavalry, re- inforced by seven German divisions.
 "The main body of the enemy. num- bering 600,000 men, moved towards Zavichvart and Tomaszow, advancing on Lublin and Chelm (Russian Poland). Its right wing was covered by the Lember (capital of Galicia) army, numbering 200 battalions. Its left wing was covered by several Aus tro- German divisions around Radon (Russian Poland).
 Austrian Army Advancing.
 "On Aug. 25 the Austrian armies be- gan a determined advance to counter act the blow which was threatening eastern Prussia The deployment oi Russian troops over a front of several hundred versts Ca verst is approxi- | yet been completed. We could, there. | fore. only face the Austrians in tht north with a greatly inferior force l The first attacks of the army were di. rected against Krasnik. but the center | of the Austrian efforts very soon wa. removed to Tomaszow, a district int

 While awaiting the result of Gen. eral Ruzsky's operations, our plan was our right wing. The Russian railway carried out this task very successful- ly.
 Russian Force Insufficient.
 Our troops in the Chelma district, which were insufficient and too widely spread out. and against which the principal attack of the Austrians was directed, did not receive reinforce ments-for the advance of the Austri- ans even to Chelm itself could event ually only increase the consequences o1 their defeat in the event of the ulti- mate success of our wings.
 'In spite of their numerical inade- quacy, our troops in the center did not | confine themselves to defense. They delivered counter attack. obtaining considerable success near Lacheve, where for six days they did nothing but repel continual attacks of the en- emy. Only on Sept. were they moved a little to the rear in accordance with orders received. This manoeuvre ob-
 tained a more enveloping disposition | for our forces.

 make general offensive movement and the enemy's center was beaten at Sukhodoyle. AS result of a rapid movement among the Austrian troops
