Percy Ambler of the tniun Stoik srda!
proved an Instrument of a good provi- I
denre to five Austrian employes of tha
stock yards yesterday afternoon when he
came upon a Belgian reservist shooting
at a mark in a field where the Austrian i
I.. V . , ...
..u .Tm worKins. rne Austrian say
the Roltftan chose his shooting rang
with an ee to the reduction of the triple
alliance. The Belgian aays It wss a
mere coincidence that be chose to shoot
into a field where fiva Austrlsns had
been working. Ambler chased the marks
man and ordered the Austrlsns out of
the trench In which they had taken
refuge. He keeps hi conclusions to him
self. Ambler had placed five Austrian In the
hay field at Thirty-third and Q streets.
The field extends to Thirty-sixth and Q.
The Austrlans, it is sntd, worked along
for a while and then something Ilk a
buzzing bee went by. Then came con
tinual spats against trie crest of the hill.
The workmen paused. One man yelled
and ran. More spats and the whole crew
rushed for shelter in a nearby pit. There
Ambler found them after an hour's
sesrch He also found a Belgian calmly
shooting from the Thirty-sixth street
side of the field. The Belgian Is said
to have had a larga assortment of cart
ridges with Mm tie told Ambler that he
wss practicing up for tha war. Ambler
asked him ht ha was shooting at. Th
KeUtan is shM to have described some
smstl sized stake In the middle of the
field. The stake Is said to have been
uncomfortably close to the place where
the Austrian were working.
Ambler broke up th shooting range
and ordered thr Austrlans back to work.
Thev accepted the shooting range ex
planation with a smite of Incredulity, but
according to Amber all small stakes were
artfully lemoved from the field by the
Austrian. And still there is the ques
tion of the coincidence that found a Bel
gian practicing on a gun In a field whet
five Austrian worked.

Japan's ally, Orent Britain, with the
seizure of Japanese goods In Herman bot
toms and the consentient grave disturb
ance of Japanese trade are the principal
reason set forward by Japan in ex

Oermany last Sunday, fable dispatches
have contained a brief outline of th
Japanese grievances, but It was not until
today tht the full text of th statement
Issued by the Japanese foreign office
bearing upon this subject became avail
able. This document said:
From the beginning of hoatllltles be
tween England and Oermany the latter
has been bending all Its energies to
strengthening all the fortifications ut
Klso-i'how, even to the extent of en
forcing labor upon them by the Chinese
coolies. Meanwhile the Herman squadrons
stationed In the far east have been mak

waters, making Kliio-t'how- their base and
in co-operation with Herman converted
cruiser threatening ml Interfering with
British shippers and commerce, thereby
Jeopard'zlng and injuring to h consider
able extent the commercial Interests In
general of Oreat Britain.
In the meantime Ihe above action on
the pari of Herman has not failed to
Jrently demoralise the trade Interests of
apan by obstructing and disturbing Its
shipping routes and commerce. In fact,
the whole eastern commercial world has
been thrown Into a state of utmost un-
