THE Germans again assumed the Of

8 =. NJ. a dense cloud OF suffocating
vapor was launched from their trenches
along tho whole front held by the
French right and our left from the
Ypres-Langemarck road to point a
considerable distance east Of St Julien.
The fumes did not carry much beyond
the first trenches, which TO a great
extent were rendered untenable. a re-
tircinent was therefore ordered. and the
enemy opned violent bombardment OF
asphyxiating shells and shrapnel as the
infantry was withdrawing.
From a distance. perhaps owing TO
the peculiar light caused by the smoke
and gas, II appeared as II our batteries
were pouring concentrated fire into the
German trenches. The upper part OF
this cloud Of flame was shredded into
thin wreaths OF vapor as II was shaken
by the wind. while the lower part be-
come more dense, sinking into all OF the
Inequalities OF the ground and slowly
pouring into the trenches. The German
infantry nevertheless faced the hail of
fire and shrapnel
AT points where the gas did not reach
the trenches our troops held hrm and
shot through the intervening cloud at
the advancing Germans. At other points
the men holding the line managed To
move to the flank, where they were more

CHINESE ASK u. s. AID.
Christian Pastors Hope for Amer
lean sympathy aud Prayers.

WAsHiNoroN. May 5.--A stirring ap-
peal to the American public in behalf OF
China signed by twelve Christian chinese
pastors In the United States was
brought to the attention OF officials here
to-day. The appeal cmanates from Chi
nese associated with the University of
Pennsylvania and copies have been sent
TO the President. Secretary Bryan and
religious bodies and religious publica
tons
The Chinese signing the appeal de-
clare that the only power that can
save China from Japan in the presen,
crisis is American public opinion. The
japanese, they assert. have shown by
tneir efforts to propitiate American opin-
ion the value and the power they ascribs
to It. Americans are asked 10 pray for
China in the hope OF staying the hand
OF Japan.
The charge is made that Japan Is
playing false with the rest OF the world
and that she would never attempt VIVA,
she has undertaken in China were /,
not that the world Is absorbed In the
war in Europe.
The appeal is signed by the following

generally assumed that the status Of

that Japan has succeeded to whatever
rights Germany possessed in the prov

contradiction to the avowed purposes

'China and the other nations were
somewhat astonished at the diverg-

performance. On January IS. 1915,
Japan set a new and far from at

showed China plainly that she was
going to follow Mr.. IJuin's advice and

A study of these demands will con-
vince you that an acceptance OF them
would involve the independence OF
China, Japan's reiterated promises to
the contrary Notwithstanding. This is
the opinion OF the best and most con-
servative foreign authorities in China.
The Far Eastern Revielp. ably edited
and very well Informed on matters in
the Orient, after citing numerous dec
larations Vt prominent japanese
statesmen on the present situation,
makes the following comment:
Last, but certainly not least, we
come to Mr.. Ijuin. formerly Japanese
NJ nster at Pekin. lie is frankly of
the opinion that the war in Europe
supplies Japan with her opportunity
in China. Now he says, that Eu-
rope has fallen into the clutches OF a
general war Japan feels urged to do
whatever there is within her reach for
promoting her prosperity and that of
China After pointing out that the
development of means of communca-
ton will largely increase China's for
eign trade he appeals to his country
men to gain a larger share for Japan
and says:
THAT our country has come
across great opportunity as
"A consequence of the war, which
caused the withdrawal Of the Euro
pean commerce from China. The OPP
portunity Is. indeed, rare and will
occur only once in a great while;
therefore We must take a step for
ward and grasp II firmly And let us
do SO quickly, II We incur delay
here the armed contest will cease In
Europe and the European commercial
giants will turn to China with re-
doubled force. Then the mighty op-
portunity will be lost forever
