Three Weeks
FINAL ATTACK OPENED FRIDAY

By Associated Press
Tokio, Nov. 7, 9.15 p. m. After
desperate assaults, in which the Japa
nese in the face of heroic resistance
rivaled the bravery of their forces at
Port Arthur, Tsing Tau surrendered
at 9.20 o'clock this morning. At that
hour Governor Meyer-Waldeck, fol
lowing the hoisting of white Hags on
the forts, sent an officer with a tlag
of truce to the Anglo-Japanese lines.
Toklo is celebrating to-day the fall
of the German fortress after an actual
siege of a few days more than three
weeks.
It was in the middle of September
that the real attack began, although
preparations for the taking of the
German stronghold in Asia were be
gun immediately after war was de
clared by Japan on August 15.
The linal and successful attack on
Tsing Tau began shortly after mid
night Friday morning and the tirst
inroad by the allied forces, which was
largely instrumental in the fall of the
place, was the taking of the middle
fort of the first line of defense. This
was accomplished by a brilliant charge
of Infantry and engineer led by Gen
eral Yoshlml Yamada.
Simultaneously with the charge of
General Yamada others were made,
the troops dashing forward with cries,
of Bazai. Taltungchen, the fortifica
tion on the east, fell at 5.35 In the 1
morning. Chungchiawa was captured j
soon thereafter with its two heavy j
cannon.
Detachment Occupies Ports j
A detachment of the first line occu- j
pied the litis, Bismarck and Moltkej
forts at 7 in the morning and then
the enemy hoisted the white tlag on l
the weather astronomical station ad-
Joining the governor's office. Another
white flag was hoisted on the coast
forts at the mouth of the Haipo at
7.30 o'clock.
In the last two days of the fighting,
it is stated, the warships continued a
terrific rain of shells on the fortress
and the city from the east and south,
inflicting great damage and havoc.
Taisachen fort, the official accounts
Bay, seemed to explode.
JUDGE KIKEL GOT
21.453 VOTES HERE
Official Count Completed by the
Clerks; Frazer Unoffi
cially Ahead
Members of the committee that
managed. Judge Kunkel's campaign In
the race against Judge Robert Frazer
for the Supreme Court to-day busied
themselves with comparing official re
turns, sent in from a few of the sixty
seven counties with the unofficial fig
ures printed earlier in the week. The
official count was completed in Dau
phin county at 11 o'clock this morn
ing, although only the vote on the Su
preme Court candidates was compared
and totaled.
Judge Kunkel received 21,459 votes
as against 1,271 received by his oppo
nent. Judge Frazer. The unofficial
figures compiled on Wednesday, fol
lowing the election gave Judge Kun- 1
kel 21,433 and Judge Frazer 1,266, a'
majority of 20,167 for the local candi-1
date.
Philadelphia newspapers this morn- |
ing carried stories to the effect that
with two counties yet missing, the un
official figures give Judge Frazer a
lead of 10,150 over Judge Kunkel.
Members of Judge Kunkel's campaign
committee yet believe the official
count will show Judge Kunkel a win-j
ner.
Frank E. Zeigler and Benjamin F. j
Umberger, the tally clerks who re- i
corded the official vote, began making
comparisons this afternoon although
they will not begin computing the
vote until Monday.

on an audience that jammed the taber
! nacle a half hour before the service
1 began, requiring the closing of the
I doors and the turning away of between
j three and four thousand people, many
lof whom had traveled from distant
I parts of the city and suburbs to hear
| the evangelist.
| Dr. Stough's subject was "Home
i Makers and Home Breakers," a lec

| enmity of marriage, the rights of the
| child to be well born, the importance
j of parental authority, the value of the
! hickory stick, the inefficiency of some
of the modern psychological methods
of education, with scathing attacks on
the divorce evil and the lax methods
carried on In many American homes
j of to-day.
Courtship Is Xo Joke
He impressed the importance of
proper selection in marriage and said
that courtship is not the joke it is
made to be in the comic papers, but is
the primary step in the formation of
I the home, the foundation of civ
ilization. He emphasized especially
, the Scripture's command. "Be ye :#jt
unequally yoked with an unbeliever,"
as meaning that a girl should not
marry an un-Christian man.
"Don't ever marry a man to reform
him. because what a man won't do
before marriage he will not do after,"
saiti Dr. Stough.
He spoke of the more than one
million divorce cases in the last two
decades in the United States and the
two and a half million of children
made "orphans" thereby and declared
that ministers have no right to marry
some couples without making investi
gations.
Children Should Be Well Born
"There should be a new conception
of the responsibility of parenthood,
that the child has the right to be born
well and not by accident." shouted the
evangelist. "The child that came into
the world with the brand 'not wanted'
has the greatest handicap conceivable,

FATE IX JUDGE'S HANDS
Mai Morgonthaii. Who Killed Farmer
Hupp, Waives Jury Higlit
Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 7. The odd
spectacle of the final scenes in a first
degree murder trial, staged in an
empty courtroom and with no jurv
present, was presented here. Max
Morganthau has pleaded guilty to kill
ing J. M. Rupp, and a Pennsylvania
act allows the Judge presiding to fix
the degree as first "r second without
a jury if the defendant prefers.
The defense concentrated attention
on the fact that the time allowed bv
the witnesses for the killing did not
permit Morganthau to "lay in wait."
Briefs were submitted and a verdict
will probably be rendered by Judge
Sadler within two weeks.

GERMANS' ATTEMPT TO
REACH STRAITS OF DOVER
IS HALTED TEMPORARILY
Paris Reports Situation Along Yser as Far as Dixmude as
"Comparatively Quiet"; Fighting Is Now Turning
Southward; Fall of Mighty German Fortress at Tsing
Tau Occupies Attention of Military Authorities in
Europe Today
The German attempt to reach the
straits of Dover, prosecuted with such
reckless abandon and courage as to
wring praise from even the foe, ap
peared to-day to have relaxed tempo
rarily. Along the now famous Yser,
from the sands of the North Sea coast
to the ruined town of Dlxmude, the
situation to-day, in the unemotional
language of the French war office, was
"relatively quiet."
The fighting there has all but ceased
and the tide of battle has rolled south
ward, leaving behind it the countless
dead whose torn bodies are stretched
thickly over many a field. South of
Ypres, on the line extending down over
the French border to Arras, the Ger
mans are preparing another furious
onslaught, spurred on by their em
peror. The main battle there, upon
which depends so much for the Ger
mans and allies alike, has not yet
begun.
Pending decisive development on
any of the European fields of battle,
the fall of Tsing-Tau held first place
in the attention of military men to
day. Official reports from Tokio show
that It was not without desperate re
sistance that the German garrison,
vastly outnumbered by British and
Japanese, gave up the fight. For days
the German forces had been subjected
to a withering fire from land and sea.
At last the central fort fell before the
impetuous attack of the Japanese,
whose bravery, says Tokio, rivaled that
displayed in the historic charges on
Port Arthur.
"Suddenly." says the official report
from Tokio, "the flag of surrender ran
up in the morning breeze on the
weather bureau mount, towering above
the sea and land."
May Run Down Warships
With the fighting at Tsing Tau at an
end, the question Is raised as to what

♦ POSTSCRIPT
Japan will do next. It Is suggested
that she will now Inaugurate an of
fensive naval campaign on the Pa
cific, employing the lleet released from
the bombardment of Tsing Tau in an
attempt to run down the German war
ships which wrought such havoc to
British shipping interests and defeated
the British lleet of Chile.
Notwithstanding the Russian clainia
to an overwhelming success in the
East, there is nothing to show that the
German and Austrian forces have met
great disaster, and although they were
compelled to retreat, they apparently
were able to fall back upon strongly
fortified positions selected in advance.
Russia, in an official statement,
makes the claim that the resistance of
the enemy has been broken after
lighting of several weeks along a front
of 350 miles. This campaign has now
been closed, in the opinion of the
Russian military authorities, who say
that a new period of the war will be
Inaugurated.
Of the fighting on land and sea
brought about by Turkey's entrance
into the wnr little was learned to-day.
Turkish officials at Smyrna are said
to have bade further seizures of ves
sels of hostile countries and the Rus
sian general staff in Caucasia reports
that the Turkish forces which attempt
ed an offensive movement have been
(driven back with heavy losses.
Paris suggests that the Germans aro
making an important change in their
military tactics. Mass formation is
said to have been abandoned in tho
lighting in Flanders, infantrymen at
tacking in open order and seeking all
available cover.
