Charges Much Corruption.

The whole story is one of robbery
and corruption. Bonds were called for
but at that date the contracts already
had been placed in Germany. 4
Chinese director is said to have en-
bezzled one substantial sum as his
share, but there is no doubt that the
great bulk of the plumber lined Ger
man pockets. and considering the inti-
mate connection between German COM
mercial and official circles, there is no
reason TO believe that only the con-
tractor profted.
Competent British engineers estimaed
that the railroad could have been bet
ter built for a cost of f7304 (s36.515)
per mile, a figure which, in common
with all the above figures. includes
rolling stock and all accessories
The moral onveyed by this ANALYSIS
Of German railroad contracts in China
is equally applicable to German con-
tracts ~ other countries. and il is evil

of Rumania expressing admiration for
the resistance the Rumanians and
Russians are offering to the enemy and
expressing confidence that their efforts
will not go unrewarded. The telegram
SAYS:

Germans Ask Big Privilege.

An instance of the political rather
than commercial kind of concession
popular with the German interests was
the suggestion by the German minister
when he approached the Chinese for
eign Office with a demand for a con-
cession to build a railroad from kiao-
chow to Yichowtu. connecting to the
Tsisanfu line. The Germans We're to
have all the mining rights within
thirty Ii of the proposed line. This
meant that a ten-mile stretch on each
side of a 12O-mile line would be I'M
der German control and exploited by
German capital. The area involved,
2.400 square miles. represents a con-
siderable portion of the province. and
it is readily comprehensive that this
barefaced form of exploitation did not
find popular acceptance among the pa
triotic Chinese.
Germany has built two railroads in
China. the northern section of the
Tientsin Pukom line and the Shantung
railway. In the former case the money
was provided by the Chinese govern
ment. and while the Germans built the
northern section of 1905 miles. the
British built the southern of 236.75
miles. The Shantung railway was
built before this. and was built by a
German company, with German money.
and can be taken as a basis upon which
the estimates for the Tientsin- Pukow
line were based.

CREST OF EPIDEMIC PAST.
Virginia Authorities Not Alarmed
by Infantile Paralysis Outbreak.

RICHMOND. Va, August 24-Dr
Ennion G. Williams. state health COM
missioner, says that while infantile
paralysis is epidemic in the Virginia
valley. centering in Rockingham coun
ty, the condition is not alarming, and
he believes that the crest of the out
break has been passed
While the counties and towns in the
valley and other parts of the north
western section of the state have taken
quarantine measures against the
disease, these have been purely local
and the state authorities have not con-
sidered the situation sufficiently grave
to take any steps aside from sending
a member of the health department to
the infected districts to assist in any
local precautions deemed necessary. DR.
Williams says that conditions are no
worse than they We're last year and that
the death rate has not been unusually
high.

and in part to the fact that he was suf-

Trenches Connected by Tunnel.

The Germans had an immense tunnel
connecting their trenches. The French
broke into it early in the morning.
Seeing no hope of stemming the bold
charge the colonel and several hundred
men surrendered with a considerable
quantity of military supplies. The OBJ
servers could see the German reinforce
ments arriving on motor trucks form
ing lines and vainly trying to turn back
the French grenade throwers.
The American officers We're permitted
to walk through the captured trenches
which had been almost obliterated by
the French bomba rdment during the
preceding days. They saw piles of
dead as the result of the rain of shells
and poisonous gas.
1t took only a few hours of fighting
to restore all the French lines around
which it took the Germans many weeks
of desperate fighting and heavy losses
to take last year The victory was a
great stimulant to the confidence of
the French army and nation. Accord
ing to the American officers it gives the
French undisputed possession of the

officers who have returned after wit

Germans were so demoralized by the
vigorous sonslaught OF the French that
on one flank they retreated so precipi-

the most sanguine expectations of the

Among the several thousand German

English and said they had wives and
families in the United States" said an
officer to me today "One said he had
lived in Bay City. Mich, and that his
wife had now moved to Brooklyn and
that he had had a lot of letters from
her in the last two years. He said he
would never have come over to fight
for Germany if he had dreamed that
America would eGter the war. The Of
ficers taken seemed to be in excellent
shape. The men complained that they
were kept working too constantly back
in the trenches, but said they had sufh-

The American officers said the German
prisoners We're surprised at the sight OF
American uniforms. They explained that
they had heard that America had entered
the war, but they did not know that any
troops had been sent to France. One man
said that the officers and the German
newspapers told them that only few
hundred American troops were near the
front. He expressed astonishment when
told that the number ran into many thou
