prinzessin Cecile, carrying more than
$1O,O00,000 in gold and whose where
abouts have been more or less mys.
terry since she sailed from New York
last Thursday, arrived In the harbor
here today. The Cecile dropped an
Choir here at 6 A. M. today after a
forced run of four days, her officers
fearing capture.
With a cargo Of ten millions in
gold, and million in silver consigned
to French and English bankers, with
an estimated value of over five mill
lions IN herself, the Kronprinzessln
iCecilie has constituted probably the
finest sea prize ever opened to capture
As she crept along the Maine coast
and into the harbor under cover oI
night, each deck, at every port hole
was blanketed with canvas so that
not gleam Of light betrayed he,
whereabouts. Her four stout stacks
had been tipped with black paint SC
that she resembled an English steam
ship.
At one time capture seemed immi

;enth army corps, 10000 strong at Yer.
'viers and the. sixth army .corps in
another locality not named. The
tenth German army corps is operat-
ing along the northern boundary, and,
finding unexpected resistance, moved
further northward, invading Dutch
territory at Tillburg and crossing the
river Meuse at Eysden. An army Of
100000 Germans was marching today
on Leige, where general attack is
expected tomorrow.
Alderman officer, taken prisoner by
the Belgians, said that he was amazed
at the resistance offered to the Ger
man advance. The Germans had been
given to understand at Berlin that
they would not be opposed in Belgium
A German military aviator was killed
today.
Britain s interests centers tonight
on the North Sea. Her fleet is steam
against Germany's and toll OF
destruction and death that will stag
ger the world is only a question of
hours. Admiral Callaghan has been
told to capture or destroy the Ger
man fleet and has already started on
his task.
To date, what fighting has occurred
has been between Scout cruisers Of
the rival powers and between destroy
ers. England mas lost a mine.laying
vessel. Whether Germany has suffer-
ed in the North Sea is known only to
the admiralty.
The battle to come will take place
almost In German waters. The great
German war feet, nearly the equal Of
the British, is reported at the mouth
of the Elbe waiting.
The French warships are also report
! ed in the channel and on the North
Sea presumably they have already ef-
fected junction with their British
allies.
A naval action was in progress in
the North Sea this afternoon, accord
ing to the Evening Standard, which
adds that this is confirmed by high
authority, who said the action was not
decisive or of great Importance.
Earl Beauchamp has been appoint
ed to succeed Viscount Morley as
president of the council and Walter
Runciman to take the place of John
Burns as president of the local gov
ernment board. Field Marshall Earl
Kitchener was appointed secretary

group Of Notifications extending
northwest and southeast and all fac

outposts and its danking protection
and the line is said to be virtually
continuous for the greater part Of the

crops in the vicinity of Penn Tuesday
and reports that while the grain has
uttered somewhat from the hot weat;,
er that many wheat fields seem fair

western part Of the county will havt
fairly good crop. Macaroni wheat

wheat varieties sown here and the
berry is plump and the heads seem tt
be fairly well filled.
