Secret Operations of Japanese.
HARBIN. April )7. tDelarcd in
transmission.)~—The large scale on
which the Japanese have been secretly
penetrating Mauchuria for the purpose
of destroying the railroad is revealed
in the confession of a Japanese mayor
and captain who were captured by Rus-
sian border guards. in all, one hun-
dred officers of the Japanese generali
staff and three hundred men left Pa
kin since the war began. The points
they were endeavoring especially to
reach were where the railroad crosses
the rivers. if they failed to reach
these points. they were to destroy the
railroad at any other place.
The major and captain captured b‘c-
longed to a party of nine. six of whom
were Japanese, the other three being
Chinese coolles. By a lucky chance
they were sighted by the. border
guards near the station of Toorchik.
They were seen dodging among the
hills and were pursued, two of them
- being captured and the remainder es-
caping. The prisoners were dressed in
'Mon-golian costumes, like those worn
by lamas.
Not far atvav from where they
were taken was a tent in which were
found nitroglycerine and dynamite,
charts and an enormous wrench for nu-
sc‘rewing bolts. as well as scissors tied
to‘lon‘g sticks which were to be used
for cutting the telegraph wires. The
prisoners were brought here where
they stated they had been attached to
the Japanese logation at Pekin. They
expect death. saying that such a seat.

on Football Rule Chances].
It Is difllcult for one who seeks to get
at the facts to ascertain just what was
done by the football rules committee
at its meeting in Philadelphia recently.
it has been stated that. while no of-
ilclnl announcement was to be made
until the committee meets again on
May 27, enough had leaked out to war-
rant the statement that “The commit-
tee decided to abolish the rule compel-
ling seven men to be on too scrim-
mage line between the 26-yard lines.
and that where seven men are on the
line in a scrimmage the man who re-
ceives the ball be allowed to run, pro-
vided he goes live yards outside. The
committee In said to have devided also
to change the scoring value of a drop
kick and a field kick. making the count
futir instead of five points."
According to Coach Stator of Chicago
university and member of the rules
committee. the foregoing item is cor-
rect. but according to a writer ~
Bostop Globe the value of a drop kick
goal is put at three points instead of
four. Coach Stagg’s version of the
rules is probably correct and it is here-
with reprinted for the benefit of read
era:
"The rules committee decided that
six men must be on the line of scrim-
mage all of the time. Four men he
sides the quarterback may be played
behind the line in any part of the field.
but one of these men must play outside
either end of the line.
“The value oi" the drop kick count
was changed from five to four points.
The quarterback will now be allowed
to run with the ball in any part of the
ileld, provided he runs the required
