JAPAN'S IMPORTS
STOPPED BY u. S.

Toxic, August lion account of
the American restrictions on Japanese
imports, many of the non-subsidized
and individual steamship lines of ia
pan, unable to transport Oriental rice
and other products to South America
via the United States, unloading the
goods at American ports on the west
ern coast, have been obliged to with
draw their steamers from the Paci-
fic service.
This fact, however, has proved a
boon to the South American services
of three representative japanese COM
panies. One of them recently placed
an extra steamer, the Panama Maru,
in South American commission and is
planning to dispatch another boat to
meet the demand for the transporta-
ton of Oriental rice, Japanese emf
grants and export goods. Another
japanese company also intends to en-
| large its line.

LENINE

Hardin, Manchuria, August IL
Russia is powerless to take any part
in the impending conflict of Allied and
German affairs in the Thurman dis
trict, according to the version of re-
cent speech by Premier Lenlne which
has been received here.
The English and French bour-
geoisie have spent enormous sums on
Thurman and of course with mercen-
arv purpose" asserted Lenine.
They have landed troops to pro-
tect the Thurman coast. We had no
proper forces to prevent this. The
German government demands that
they be disarmed, telling us that If
we cannot defend ourselves they will
carry on the war in our territory"
Referring to the Ukraine. Lenine
claimed that the Germans were met
everywhere with desperate resistance
ITO the Caucasus" Lenine points
out, the Soviet sent inquiries regard
ing the new frontiers which the eau
casian Government laid claims to, but
received no answer
I'VE are not a great power. OF

movement which is in cooperation
with the Third Army's attack south
ward
Obviously the Germans intended to
defend the asst bank of the Scheldt,
for they trenched and wired it, But
there arc strong indications that the
enemy has little faith in his ability
to hold the line long, for alI the bridges
arc ready for speedy demolition. A
few fires still arc visible at Tournai
and the surrounding country, showing
that the enemy is burning his stores.
The Germans also are stripping the
country cf everything imaginable and
arc burning what they have been un-
able to remove. Cattle taken from
tho peasants are being driven cast

been burned.
The Germans have carried off virtu-
ally the entire male population of the
districts which they evacuated, capa-

N. Y. Aviator on West
Front Defes Worst
Rain for Information

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF NERDUN, Oct. 20
(By The Associated Press). Might
flying patrols over the American lines
have been inaugurated
In night flying over the front, feat
performed by American avators for
the first time on Friday night, two
patrols consisting Of five machines
were sent out from northwest of Yer
dun to the region of st. Mihiel for
the purpose Of searching out flying
| Germans.
The Americans went over the Ger
man lines and drew fire from anti
aircraft guns, but did not encounter
| the German fers they sought. The
Americans returned after two hours.
Lieutenant Louis Bcrnheimer, of
New York City, pilot, and Lieutenant
Ralph Bagby, of New Haven, Mo-, OBJ
serveY, flew over the enemy lines to-
day despite downpour of rain, OBJ
tanning valuable information.
Because Of the uncertainty of enemy
movements west Of the Meuse, volun-
| teers were asked to make an important
! observation trip over the Bochc lines
Bernhcimer and Bagby responded.
Reaching a region where the officers
partlcularly desired I'M OrmatlOn as TO
conditions, they descended to less than
500 feet from the ground. The Ger
mans fired from guns of all calibres,
/ but the Americans continued skimming
along, taking their observations. The
bullet holes in their canvas did not
hamper the machine and they returned
to the American lines, dropping notes
at different headquarters reporting in
, formation of much value to the army.
No other machine, enemy or Ameri-
can, was sighted over the entire
American front to-day.
Aviation officers say that the flight
of Bernheimer and Bagby was made
In the face of the heaviest rain ever
encountered by American avators on
