AMERICA ADMITS |JAPAN'S SPECIAL
 POWER IN CHINA

Peking, Nov. 6-The United States has recognized Japan's special inter- ests in China, Baron Gonsuke. Haya- shi, Japanese Minister to China, yes- terday informed the Chinese Foreign Office
 He reported that Viscount Ishi, head of the Japanese mission to the United States, and Secreary of State Lansing signed an agreement to that effect on November 2.
 Washington, Nov. 6-Confirmation of the report from Picking that an agreement had been reached between Japan and the United States was ob- tained at the Japanese Embassy last night.
 The terms could not be obtained. It was said details would be. disclosed to- day.
 The Picking announcement was pre- mature and has placed the State De- partment in an embarrassing posi- tion.
 viscount Ishii and the other mem bers of the Japanese Mission left Washington, Saturday. By an ar- rangement between the State Depart ment and the Japanese Embassy nothing was to be said about the mat ter for a few days. Secretary of State Lansing last night declined to discuss the matter.

States Attorney Homer s. Cum mings, Democratic National Commit teeman; Don c. Seitz, publisher of the New York World; William P. Kirk, n1ayoralty candidate; Lynn w. Wilson, candidate for congress, and Congress1Han Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, with former Congressman Robert E. DeForest, as presiding off, ficer, concluded one of the most in- teresting political campaigns in the citys history at the Casino on State street, last night.
 More than 2,000 men and women appfauded as the speakers attacked Clifford B. Wilson. John T. King, Schuyler Merritt and their pet, Baby DolT' Thomas.
 States Attorney Cummings. in one of his eloquent orations, denounced the Republican administration. He said, "The whole question in this city .cfesnpaign is whether you will elect
 r.. Kirk or whether you will vote to
 synain under the reign of the unre-
 enerate and unrepentent John T. King" Commenting on the appear ance of Theodore Roosevelt. Cum nings said. T don't think you need any prophet from Stamford or from Oyster Bay to tell you, how to vote. The only merit in the Republican ticket is Schuyler. Merritt
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-11-06

Kirk resumed his attacks on the ad- rninistration for catering to Baby DolT Thomas and declared the city has been suffering for six years under just such a policy. He said if he is elected it will be his chief duty to reduce the enormous debt incurred on the city by John T. King.
 Don c. Seitz gave some new facts about warrenite and said Warren Brothers have many towns ''by the throat and form corporations on an equal basis.
 Congressman Lonergan was force full in his plea to give President Will son the support of another Democr ic congressman.
 Lynn W. Wilson was the last speak, CT on the program and told the as- senbly that the Republicans chief objection to him was that he was a fighter, but said Wilson, I'm always fighting for the right Speaking of the administrators co1ored pet, Wilson said. Baby Do1l'' is a rsrai parsonage He doesn't go to the Hague to settle his differences. He rides on warrenite pavements to the city court where the pAcifiists dwell and gets off with nolle.

GERMANS MASS FOR ATTACK ON
 AMERICANS, OFFICERS BELIEVE
under shrap-

would be impossible under shrap- nel.
 With 20 men on a small front pro- vision undoubtedly would be made for relief of sentries. posted on the fire step of the trench and watching for an attack. Under shell fire tie re- mainder would seek shelter in dug outs. It appears possible the three men killed and five wounded may have been the sertries, overwhelmed the dark, and that the other 12 were in their shelters to be hailed by an unseen enemy and told to come out or be bombed. \ There would be no choice but to surrender A majority ish and French in trench raids are taken in. this way.
 Army officials pointed out it was one of the fortunes of war, and the "ouDtry must expect to get used to It. At the War Department 1t was believed the American forces regain ed their trenches. Surmises to this effect were based on the presence of exact figures in Pershing's report, to- gether with the fact the Americans recovered their wounded and got them te hospitals.
 The American Red Cross agent al Berne, Switzerland, was instructed to try to get into immediate touch with the captured men. Supplies will be forwarded them through Berne. Re1a- lives may communicate with the pris- Noners by addressing their letters and packages care of the American Red Cross, Berne.

Waahington, Nov. e--Ar early en- gasenaent along the American front in France is looked for by army of flcials here. They base this expec- tation on the German raid of Satur- day, which resulted in American losses of three dead. five wounded and 12 prisoners.
 German troops in force are believ- ed to be- massing in front of the American positions near the Marne- Rhine canal. Saturdays attack is re- sarded essentially as increment to aseertain-th strength of the .Ameri- cans both on the firing line and in France generally.
 Army officials here yesterday took philosophical view of the first cas- ualties. although regretting keenly the first real clash.
 Pershins's report of his losses made speculation as to how it happened rather profitless Secretary of War Baker said he knew no more than sthe report set forth He refraihed from comment.
 Presumably the American trench raided was an advance post With only 20 men in it 1t could not have had a front of nor ethan 50 or 60 feet. Possibly it was>the head of a sap driven out into No Mans Land at right angles with the general trench lines to be used as listening and ob- servation post.
 In that case the barrage fire of a few guns could cut off the sector. The thin line of the communicating trench
