fiZAR THANKS JEWS
FOR FIRM LOYALTY
IN TIME OF CRISIS
New Page of History Being
Written by Mars Pen,
Says Savant Accompany
ing Russian Army.
LONDON, Oct. 14.
Czar Nicholas, of Russia, personally
thanked a deputation of Jews for tholr
attitude In the war during a recent visit
the Emperor made to Vllna. This Is
made known In a narrative written by
l'rof. Bernard Pares, head of the Depart
ment of Russian Llteratute, LanKuagc
and History at the University of Liver
pool, who Is accompanying tho Russian
Armies.
The narrative was mado public today
by tho Government Press Bureau, tell
ing of the arrival of tho Invited Journal
ists at tho Ilusslan headquarters. Pro
fessor Pares says:
"Wo were lnvltqd to lunch and dinner
with tho General ' Staff on their restau
rant cor. A notlco posted In this forbids
handshaking under a flno of thrco pence,
which Is plven to tho fund for tho
wounded. Among tho party thcro was
no alcohol In accordance with the tem
perance edict of tho Grand Unite, Nich
olas, chief of tho General Staff,"
"The Emperor's visit to Vllna was a
great success. Ho rodo Into the town
unguarded, although tho streets werg
crowded. Ills reception was most cordial.
The Czar visited tho principal hospitals,
spoko to the wounded and distributed
medals.
"He received a Jowlsh delegation and
spoko his thanks for tho sympathetic at
tltudo of the Jews In this hour, which Is
so solemn for Russia.
"The general feeling that prevails may
be described as like, a now page In his
tory." "Ono fcclB that tho Russian army Is a
great wave, rolling forward with ono
rpltit driving It.
"Tho facilities for gathering and send
ing out information are all that can bo
granted at tho present slago of the war.
"On October 12, I vlBltcd several of tho
wounded Austrlans, who have been sent
back from tho front. Ono described tho
Russian artillery fire as particularly for
midable, and says that his own corps ran
short of ammunition, not food.
"A young German from Bohemia said
that tho Austrian artillery was uncovered
and crushed by tho Russian rlflo lire of
soldiers who took to cover so well that
trey could not bo descried by tho Aus
trlans 200 yards away.
"All accounts agreed that tho Austrlans
could never put up an adequato resist
ance to tho Russian hayonet charges.
This was particularly noticeable In the
latter fighting.
"The hospitals I visited wer excollcntly
provided with surgeons and nurses. Tho
Czar's sister, tho Grand Duchess Olgu
Alcxandrovlna, who, two years ago, went
through a full courso of nrcmirntlnn. In
working with the Sisters of Mercy under
ordinary discipline nnd conditions."
TSING-TAO TO YIELD
BY KAISER'S ORDER,
PEKIN IS INFORMED
German Legation, Denying

son Will Fight as Long as
Ammunition Holds Out.
It is
PEKIN, Oct. H.
Understood a linrnhnrHmntit nt
Tslng-Tau by the Japaneso will begin

It was announced at the Japanese
legation today that unofficial informa
tion received there stated Emperor Wil
liam had ordered Governor Mcyer-Wal-deck,
of Klao-Chau to surrender Tslng
Tao to the Anglo-Japanese forces. Ac
cording to tho Japanese information, the
order was transmitted through the Ger
man Minister at Pekln.
At tho German legation It was denied
that any such order had been received,
and the legation attaches asserted that
Tslng-Tao would hold out ngalnst the
Allies' attacks. They said that Gov
ernor Moyer-Waldock had agreed to the
Japanese suggestion of nn urmistlce for
the retirement of non-combatants. These
include the American Consul, W. It. Peck.
Floating mines sown In Klao-Chau Bay
aro appearing In the Chinese Sea. Two
coasters have been struck.
Japanese statements published In the
Chinese press absolutely deny charges of
brutality against the Japanese troops en
gaged on the Shan-Tung peninsula. The
reason given for the .Tnnnnn nnv.il no.
tlvity In the middle Pacific is the secret
assistance given German warships at
various Islands. Tho Japanese assert H
German merchantmen coaled and pro
visioned In neutral harbors are waiting
a chance to sail.
According to a Toklo dispatch the' gar
rlson Is well supplied with ammunition
and food, but la weak In numbers, the
total being less than 7000.

It was announced officially today that

SLEEPING ANTWERP
AROUSED BY BOMBS
OF ZEPPELIN RAIDER
Philadelphian Receives Let
ter From Eyewitness to
First Attack on Doomed
Belgian City.
The dropping of bombs on Antworp
from tho first Zeppelin which attacked
that city is graphically described In a
letter received by a Philadelphian from
Edward A. Biggin, of tho Atlantic Line,'
Missouri. Tho (list Keppclln attack was
made August 20 at 1:20 a. m. The ac
count of tho eyewitness Is ns follows;
"I arrived In Antwerp on Monday and
I shall give you my cxperlcnco in a city
attacked by nn nlrshlp.
"Everything had been fairly quiet In
Antwerp since tho outbreak of war. The
city was known to bo one of the gayest
nnd most Interesting on tho Continent
nnd the people teemed to have llttlo fear
for their town, as they placed great re
liance on tho strong fortifications, with
out thought of its being attacked from
another direction.
"Monday night an unusual quietness
seemed to prevail and every ono went
about in whispered conversation, llttlo
thinking of tho cnlamlty that would be
fall their city long before daybreak.
"At midnight it was aflnc, clear starlight
night, but with no moon when, about 1:20
Tuesday morning, tho throb of un engine
from un airship could bo heard In tho
castorn sky nnd as seconds clupscd a
terrific roar could be heard bringing ter
ror to thu hearts of all the now awakened
population. Then a huge nliship could
bo seen sweeping down on tho city, ap
parently very close, about 300 feet up,
Just clearing tho homo tops. Then over
tho town, four streaks of flra appeared
to drop from the airship in quick suc
cession, followed by heavy reports as each
shell burst, shaking tho wholo town. As
each shell exploded a searchlight from tho
airship would bo directed upon the de
struction nnd havoc each had done. Tho
wholo population wore out In their night
attire. It waa pitlablo to see mon, women
and children running In all directions;
somo crying, somo kneeling praying with
fear. Somo seemed to liavo gone quite
mad at the continual cannonade of guns
rrom tno rorts and tho moans of tho in
jured. Tho-alrshlp was then seen to drift
away as quietly ns It nppeaied, loavlng
destruction and death In all directions.
"Tho Germans apparently had their
target mapped out for each bomb, but
In every case llro was badly directed.
Unfortunately nearly every shell burst In
tho poorer quarter, wrecking houses and
killing and wounding tho dwellers while
they slept.
"Tho first bomb, which was Intended
for the barrackB, fell in a small residen
tial square off tho Falcon Plnce close to
the shipping and apparently burst before
reaching tho ground, as pieces of steel
flew In nil directions penetrating the
stone houses.
"Another bomb, which caused the most
destruction, fell in Exchange street noar
the Bourse; It wns undoubtedly Intended
for tho Royal Palnce, not 400 feet away
on Place de Meire. In this caso the houso
was entirely blown up, causing several
deaths.
"Tho next was- directed for tho Palace
ue justice, on uouievaru ae Arts, out
exploded In Rue de Justice, a street close
by; this also burst before reaching earth,
nnd stonework and pillars on half tho
stieet were torn away.
"The fourth nnd last Infernal machine,
I should think, was dropped for St. Eliza
beth's Hospital, on Ruo Paob, but fell
In tho Botanical Gardens adjoining,
ploughing up tho ground to a consider
able depth and wrecking columns and
masonry surrounding. In each case all
tho windows In tho vicinity were blown
entirely out.
"The whole town now Is In hourly fear
and dread of tho Zeppelin's returning on
another terrlblo errand, nnd Antwerp is
now a town of mourning and darkness.
At S o'clock every evening nil lights In
tno city are out. Tramways aro all
stopped, bridges are all closed, tho only
vehicles on tho street aro required to havo
special passes, people aro In their houses
In darkness, as no lights of nny descrip
tion are allowed; the city Is absolutely
dark after tho hour of 8 p. m., and such
people as are In the streets are being
continually lield up by the guards and
have to produco a permit.
"Such Is now tho state of the city of
Antwerp, only a few weeks ago a scene
of gayety and pleasure, and I am very
glad to know I am now back In London
after the horrors I experienced last
week."
WAR OPERATIONS OF THE DAY
SHOW GERMAN AGGRESSION
Experts Find Kaiser Pressing Forward for Battle in South
west Belgium Move Against Warsaw Declared
Evidence of Teutonic Strategy.
JJy J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Germany's cam
paign In Poland, which Is now beginning
to develop Its offensive strength, was
conducted In Its oarly stages with great
skill, It seems now evident that tho ad
vance on Warsaw was skilfully masked
by the roccnt operations, 100 to 1C0 miles
further north In tho Nlemen River dis
trict. Tho Russians apparently mistook
tho German advance toward the Nlemen
as tho enomy's main objective.
Even tho ability of the second and
third-class Russian fortresses In North
Poland to withstand the German attacks
while tho powerful French and Belgian
fortifications were falling did not opon
the eyes of the Russian General Staff.
Tho fact Is now seen to be that the
successful resistance of these Polish
forts was due to the meagre German
forces sept against them. While tho Rus
sians wcro hurrying overwhelming armlos
across tho Nlemen nnd wcro triumphantly
forcing tho Germans to retire toward
East Prussia, the real German offensive
waa developing against Warsaw.
The Germans nppear to havo succeeded
In landing nrmlcs of great strength with
out molcstntlon across the ISO miles sep
arating tholr frontier from the Vistula,
on which river tho Intrenched camp of
Warsaw is located. What part of tjio
attention of tho Russian General Staff
wns not centred on Uie successful Nle
men operations was occupied with the
advance through Gallcla.
The Russians wero moving forward In
the north and south with supremo
optimism, as their official reports obvious
ly showed' they were to bo In Berlin by
Christmas; tho Germans from East Prus
sia and tho Austrlans in Gallcla wero un
able to stand against them. Tben, sud
denly, between the victorious northern
and southern Russian armies, the German
General Staff launched Its counter of
fensive, and tho Russians have now
realized the danger Into which their
optimism has led them.
Thoy havo had to withdraw their ad
vance forces marching on Cracow, and
tho other operations In East Prussia havo
become of minor Importance. A now bnt
tlo front running south from the Warsaw
district is being forced upon them, pre
sumably of Germany's own choosing. Tho
overconfldence that brought disaster to
Russia's first offensive In East Prussia
early in tho war seems now to be ob
literating n, large part of the Galtcian
success.
FEAR FOR TRAWLER CREWS
Believed That Two British Craft
Have Been Destroyed.
LONDON, Oct. 14. Tho Westminster
Gazette prints the following dispatch
from Aberdeen.
"Relatives of 20 members of tho crews
of two mine-sweeping trawlers, Princess
Bcatrlco and Drumonk, havo been ad
vised that it is feared the vessels havo
been lost with all their men."
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
PARIS, Oct. H.-t'norriclal reports of
tho resumption of tho Allies' attack In
force on the German centre reached hero
today, The office of tho Ministry of
War declined to discuss them, hut it
was admitted that such a move would
bo strategically sound. It was pointed
out that a sustained attack on tho cen
tre, which French air scouts hnvo re
ported as weakened recently by by the
withdrawal of German forces to the
northwoBt, would force a hurried mass
ing of the (intmv at this rJOlnt.
That thero la a distinct menaco In the
movement on the AIHob' left Is admit
ted hero. Germany could not have se
lected a better Held In Europe on which
to attempt a bottling up of tho Allied
forces. Tho Belgian artpy narrowly es
caped being cut off In Its retreat from
Antwerp, The German forces, released
from tho assault of Antworp, aro advanc
ing west nnd south toward tho coast. The
northwestern German column, detached
from General von Boohn's army, Is
marching llkewlso to the channol, swing
ing in an arc in a northwesterly direction.
The country along tho Channel Is flat
and unsultcd to defense against assault.
To tho north lies Holland, a neutral
country. To the west Is tho Channel. Tho
logical routo would bo for tho Allied
forces British, French and Belgians to
slip southward along the coast until they
could reach a battlefield better suited
than tho flat Belgian-French coast.
Tho French havo been reported as suc
cessfully opposing part of this movement
by General von Boehn, at Hasebrouck,
And unconfirmed roports today give color
to tho belief that the battleground Is
shifting southward from Ostond, indicat
ing that the concentrated forces there aro
pressing forward to battlo In a southerly
dlroctlon, leaving Ostend. This city Is of
scant strategical advantage.
Tho Germans apparently hnvo trans
ferred their main field of aerial warfare
northwest of Paris. Extraordinary pre
cautions to guard, ngalnst further drop
ping of bombs npparontly havo dlu
couraged any further attempts here. But
unofficial reports from tho northwestern
battlo front indlcato that the Germans
aro exhibiting extraordinary activity In
this line elsewhere and particularly neur
tho Channel cities. Nancy and Boulogno
both report aerial raids, unofficial dis
patches saying that bombs wero dropped
in an instances witnout ericct.
Tho now aerial patrol around Paris,
adopted by General Hlrschaucr, rocently
commissioned to rehabilitate tho aeronau
tical division, has evidently deterred the
Germans from any fuither bomb-dropping
experiments over tho city.

GERMAN CRUISERS SAVED
BY MERCHANTMAN'S FUEL
New York Doctor Tells of Goeben
nnd Breslau Exploit.
NEW YORK, Oct. H. How tho Gorman
cruisers Goeben nnd Breslau, short of
coal and fleeing from French and British
warships In the Mediterranean Sea, wero
able to escape the enemy and reach a
Turkish port by begging coal and 1200
mattresses from the Hamburg-American
liner Barcelona was related here by Dr.
William V. McCrcady, an American phy
sician, who recently returned from tho
war zone. He said that on the afternoon
of August 3 the Barcelona, on which ho
was traveling, was Intercepted by wire
lets and asked If she could spare nnw
fuel.
The captain of the merchant ship sent
many code messages to the commanders
of tho cruisers. Doctor McCready ex
plained. Toward evening the Goeben and
Breslau appeared and bore down on the
Barcelona at full speed. They reported
thoy wero Bhort of coal and needed Just
enough to steam them to tho closest
Turkish port. The captain of the lisrrp.
lona gave all the fuel ho could spare, but
the skippers of tho warships declared it
was not sulllclent. After a conference all
the spare mattresses In the passenger
quarters were put aboard the cruisers and
much furniture was also transferred for
fuel.
"I have Just heard a story, poignant
In Its misery," cables a correspondent.
"A mother went to see her son at a hos
pital. He waa lying comfortably tucked
In bed, his head wrapped In a bandage.
" 'You do not suffer much?" she asked,
anxiously.
" 'Non, petlto mere,' replied the soldier,
'pas trop.'
"The day Is fine,' she continued; Met
us go for a little turn In tho garden; your
heud will be all the better for It,' and she
pointed to his bandaged brow.
" 'Excuse mo, mother dear,' he said. 'I
am a llttlo fatigued.'
" 'But you must bo wounded more seri
ously thnn you said,' she said, anxiously.
" 'Bend near, mother, and I will tell
you.'
"She bent her head.
" 'My two legs and my left arm have
cone.'
"The shock was terrlblo; her beloved
boy, so handsome, so charming In his na
ture! No, no, It could not bo true! When
tho truth could no longer be denied, on
evidence of a frightened glance, she rush
ed a demented creature from tho ward,
crying out her misery."
A writer tells this story of a trip out
from La Ferte:
Outside tho town we found on a hill
tho grave of a Highlander. I do not re
member ever to have read a more touch
ing epitaph than that which the dead
man's comradeB had written In pencil on
the rough wooden cross, made of strips
torn from an ammunition box. This is it;
"Here lies Private ,
No. . Highlander.
ICllled In action.
He wns a good pal."
From the cross hung his great coat, the
back all torn by a shell.
FOOD PLEA FOR BELGIUM
United States Again Asks Kaiser to
Let Provisions Enter,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.
Ambabsador Gerard, at Berlin, today
for the third time was instructed by the
Stute Department to request the Berlin
Government to allow American food sup
plies to enter Belgium.
No replies have been received to the
other lequests which this Government
has made.
NEUTRALITY OF SCHELDT
PROMISED BY KAISER
"BERLIN. Oct 11. The Government
of the Netherlands has again been of
ficially notified by the German Gov
ernment that the ttatus of the River
Scheldt, the waterway which leads to
Antwerp, nlll be regard d by Ger
many as heretofore.
There will be no question of forcing
the Scheldt or using it for purposes
not sanctioned In treaties with the
Netherlands. The notification to this
eilect was sent this morning.
This story comes from a war corre
spondent In France:
"We proceeded in the direction of Cha
teau Thierry. A few miles outsldo wo
came across a small British convoy re
turning with a batch of 120 German pris
oners, Including eight officers and a Red
Cross doctor. The British convoy con
sisted only of a sergeant and six men.
They told me that they were returning to
fetch supplies when the detachment of
Germans came out of the woods and stood
on the road with their hands up. They
willingly accompanied tho ludicrously
small British force, for they were starv
ing and had surrenederd to get food.
"We presently descried a lonely figure
hobbling along the long white road. When
we camo up it waa a corporal of an Irish
regiment. Ho had been wounded In the
foot and was using his rifle as a crutch.
'Where are you going?' I said. 'Sure and
I'm going to the front.' he replied. 'How
do you expect to get there? It's about 50
miles away.'
" 'Ah, now, If I can get to the next
village maybe I'll be finding a wagon to
give me a lift; If not, I'll go on tramping.'
"I gavo him tobacco and a little money.
and left him hobbling along, cheery and
content"
A German non-commissioned officer,
brought to a Brussels hospital, told of
how surprised the German troops were
when they wero first sent against the
Belgians.
"I waa wounded at the engagement at
Warsage," he said. "It was a fierce fight
and tne ilelglan soldiers beat us badly.
We were told that we must cross Belgium
by railway to get Into France.
"Imagine our surprise, therefore, when
on arriving In the proximity of the fron
tier my regiment waa ordered to march
toward Belgium. They then told us that
we wero going to fight the Belgians, who
attempted to hinder our crossing their
territory, adding that it was for ray coun
try, life or death."
A graphic picture of the feelings of a
man plunged for the first time into war
are given In a letter received here from
a Russian officer at the front He wrote-
'When war was d "tared cir br'jp in
was dispatched to the theatre of opera
tions. I went with delight nnd so did tho
others. When we reached our destination
wo were told that tho battle would begin
In tho morning.
"At daybreak positions wcro assigned
to us, and tho commander of the brigade
handed us n plan of action of our
artillery. From that moment horror
possessed our souI.
"It was not anxiety for ourselves or
fear of tho enemy, but a feeling of awo
In the face of something unknown. At
6 o clock we opened flro nt a mark which
we could not distinguish but which wo
unnerstooa wns tno enemy.
"Suddenly we see tho enemy coming.
At tho same time he opens flro on ue.
We turn our guns upon him and I give
tho order to fire. I myself feel that I am
In some kind of a nightmare.
,'',ne of tno enemy's regiments Is an
nihilated. Then a second one. All this
tlmo I am pouring missiles In among
them. But now tho nervous feeling has
left me. My soul l filled with hate, and
I contlnuo to shoot nt tho enemy without
the least feeling of pity.
"Yet still the enemy Is advancing, rush
ing forward and lying down In turns. I
do not understand his tactics, but what
ure nicy 10 met u is enough for mo that
i mil uccupymg n rnvoranio position and
mowing him down like n strong man with
a scythe in a clover field.
"During tho first night nfter the battle
I could not sleep a wink. All the time
my mind waa filled with pictures of the
battlefield. I saw German regiments ap
proaching, and myself firing right Into the
thick of them. Heads, nrms, legs and
whole bodies of men were being flung
high into the air. It was a dreadful vis
Ion. "I was In four battles. When tho sec
ond began I went Into It like an uutom
aton. Only your muscles are taxed. All
the rest of your being seems paralyzed
. ti., .,,,,, . , eiiBiirriaicin or ins sens

All I remember Is that a foellng of giddi

ZEPPELINS RUMORED
ASSEMBLING AT KIEL
FOR CHANNEL FLIGHT
Germany Talks of "Big Sur
prise' for Britain, More
Hated by Teutons Than
France and Russia.
LONDON, Oct. 14,
Hoports from Amsterdam nnd Copen
hagen Say a largo fleet of Eeppollns Is
being assembled nt Kiel for tho Invasion
of Ungland. Tho Kiel Canal has been
closed and the operations of the Ger
mans aro masked from tho public.
A British newspaper mnn, who has ar
lived at Amsterdam from Berlin, cou
nt ins the rumors that tho Krupps havo
luoduced 20-Inch guns with a range of
23 miles. Tho big guns probably aro des
tined for uso at somo channel port. If tllo
Germans gain a foothold,
lie says that tho neroplano factories
in Germnny are working day nnd night
supplying machines, and lhat 200 avia
tors are qualifying for military service
every week,
"Germany Is full of vague reports of
the 'big surprise for England," tho cor
respondent continues. "The English are
more hated than cither tho French or
Russians. The Germans would rather
capture ono Englishman than 20 of the
others. In Ocrmany, England Is blamed
for It all, rightly or wrongly. She Is ac
cused of being at tho bottom of this war.
Neither officers nor men of tho German
army seem to havo much regard for the
British army as a fighting machine, but
they freely ndmlro tho pluck of tho Brit
ish ofneers and the rapid range-finding
abilities of British nrtlllory.
"Judging from what I saw In Berlin,
that city at thjs moment holds five or six
army corps of able-bodied young men, at
tached either to the 1st or 2d Reserve or
to the Lnndsturm. Tho same proportion
ately may bo said of all tho other Gor
man clllca. Everywhere I was struck by
the boundless enthusiasm tor war.
"It Is true that all the hews la sub
jected to a severe censorship, and there
fore the people do not know other than
that they are winning all along tho tine.
Some more sober minds In Germany ad
mit that they will get hard knocks somo
time nnd somewhere, but they havo no
doubt Germnny will win. The prevalent
opinion Is that, In view of the amount of
German blood spilled In Belgium, that
toUntrv Inevitably will cease td exist ex
cept as a part of the German Empire.
Holland Is regarded as a negligible quan
tity, nnd It Is token for granted that the
Low Countries will, of their own accord,
become part of tho German federated
States."
LONDON, Oct, 14. According to a
news agency dispatch from Boulogne,
two German aeroplanes nnd a Zeppelin
nlrshlp flew over that city yesterday
and then turned toward tho coast of
England.

BERLIN, Oct. 14.
Negotiations are In progress between

Many of the Belgian men In Holland
