WIRELESS TIDINGS
OF FRENCH DEFEAT
Berlin Informs Consul Here
of Teuton Victory in
Alsace.

a dispatch was received from official
sources in Berlin yesterday stating
that the Germans had been victorious
over the 7th French Army Corps in
Inner Alsace. The message, dated
late Friday night, was by wireless to
the German Consul here, the text be-
ing as follows:
SThe 9TH French Army Corps, with
a division from Belfort, penetrated
into Alsace near Muelhausen. They
were repulsed, and the intrenchments
they made have been taken by German
troops"
Six thousand Austrian reservists are
registered at the Austrian Consulate,
and as many more have been turned
away. One thousand who applied after
] o'clock yesterday were met outside
the building by two policemen and told
TO return Monday morning. The con-
sui declared that II was useless for
the men to register, as there is no
way Of getting them back to Europe
There has been no communication be
tween the consul and his government
since August 3.
On the other hand, many reservists
who desire TO avoid answering theil
country's call are anXiously awaiting
the decision of the United States Court
of Appeals on the new naturalization
law. More than five thousand pros
pective citizens are being held up pend
ing the decision.
Prior to September, 1906, "frst pa,
pers" were good for any number o1
years, but under the present law they
are limited TO seven years. After that
time reapplication must be made, snc
the applicant must wait two years be-
fore obtaining final papers.
The naturalization department ha'
held up thousands of papers during the
wear, owing to the seven-year clause
and decision is expected shortly on
test case.
Frank Meyers, a too enthusiastic
German. was taken into custody yes

HEARTS WRUNC AS
ROCHAMBEAU SAILS
Pathetic Scene at Pier
When French Reserves
Say Goodby.

The departure of the French liner
Rochambeau for Havre yesterday with
ZOO passengers occasioned the most
pathetic leave-taking enacted on any
steamship pier here since the European
war began. Long before the vessel
sailed a crowd of about 1000 assem-
bled 20 bid farewell to 500 reserylsts
going home to fight for France.
On board the Rochambeau and on the
pier husbands, fathers and brothers
stood with their families in little
proups. trying to cheer the weeping
women and children about them. Every
LITTLE while a woman would collapse or
shrek. I'm several instances. men VINO
could stand the strain no longer kissed
their womenfolk and children goodoy,
sent them home and rushed aboard the
shin TO be lost in the crowd
When the Rochambeau's whistle
sounded and the gangplank was hauled
ashore. the shouts of the courageous
and the blowing Of bugles did not
drown the wailing Of the women.
The liners shrouds were black with
cheering Frenchmen, who waved their
tricolor along with the Stars and
Stripes and the British flag. English,
American and French airs were sung
by the departing fighters, the singing
being prolonged until the Rochambeau
was well below the Battery.
Jean Vincent, a French negro from
Martinique, was conspicuous among
his white brethren. He spoke fairly
good English and said he wanted to
fight for his beloved France. "She has
been good, so very good to me-" he
said; land now / am going back to
fight for her. paid for my own ticket

GERMAN SHIP RUNS
BLOCKADE TO N. Y.
Bohemia Flies British Flag and
Wears White Star Line
ColOrS.

The first German steamship to run
the blockade of the British and French
cruiser patrol of the American coast
arrived here yesterday. She was the
Hamburg American freighter Bohemia,
from Hamburg, which left her home
port with a. cargo Of toys for the
Christmas trade, just after hostilities
were declared
Her feat is regarded by seafaring
men as the cleverest accomplished by
any German master coming to these
waters. Though German steamship,
laden with a German cargo, through
out her run across the Atlantic she
looked like a British merchantmen.
CAPTAIN Mss is crafty Teuton.
When three days out Of Hamburg he
informed his crew that he would not
be caught, and when he dropped anchor
i'm Quarantine yesterday he beamed
upon mis- chief officer, remarklng IN
German an equivalent to 81 told you
So"
After making his declaration near
the German coast, the skipper calleo
his wireless operator and informed HIM
that silence was golden, but that 1t
paid TO listen. keep your ear at the
wireless all the time you are awake,
said the captain, "and, when you sleep,
make it clear to your assistant that ne
must call you if anything important is
beng transmitted"
The operator followed his orders to
the letter. He listened, but sent no
messages. He heard communications
between merchantmen and warshlps,
some in code he understood, and that
helped the skipper keep out Of danger.
Captain Mss took the big freighter
far to the south Of the westbound
Transatlantic lane. His lights were out
at night, but this was not his only pre-
caution. Sailors were sent over the bow
and stern with cement and paint to OBJ
. literate the big brass letters bohemia
and Hamburg" the hsiling port.
A gang was sent up the funnel when
the horizon was clear and in short
time covered two-thirds of il with the
soft light buff color Of the White Star
Line. On the top they painted black
band. Then they smudged the entire
/ funnel so it would not have the APP
pearance of being freshly painted.
Meanwhile the skipper few the British
/ flag.
Captain Mss was not bothered by
war vessels of his own nationality or
by British or French cruisers. If he had
been pursued by German cruisers he
essil, could have proved his identity.
The disguise, he felt, would serve to
keep him from being pursued by Brit
ish men-of-war.
Soon after sunrise yesterday, while
he was steaming for Sandy Hook under
forced draught, Captain Mss saw a
streak of smoke on the horizon TO the
southeast He watched il closely and
thought it was British cruiser, but
the British flag evidently was seen, for
the oncoming vessel changed her course
from northwest to east.
After reaching quarantine yesterday
Captain Miss sent up his true colors.

GERMANY SENDS
CONTRABAND LIST
Commodities Set Forth the
Same as in the British
Declaration.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE State De-
partment to-day made public the Ger
man proclamation as TO contraband OF
war. The list corresponds as regards
absolute contraband 10 the commodities
set forth IN the British declaration.
As regards both absolute and condi-
tional contraband, Germany gives no
tice that she will apply the provisions
of the Declaration of London provided
the other belligerents do not disregard
them.
In making public the lists, Solicitor
Johnson. of the State Department, said
his advices we're biased upon the most
accepted and generally accepted princi-
Piles of international law and usage and
are general and advisory only, the de-
partment being unable to forecast the
precise course or position of the bell
iigerent governments in particular in
stances"
The declarations OF the other bellig-
erents regarding contraband have not
yet been received, but it is assumed
they will in the main follow those Of
England and Germany.
Seizures on High Seas.
Regarding the seizure Of vessels and
cargoes Solicitor Johnson's statement
says:
iVessels flying the flag of one of the
belligerents are subject TO seizure and
confiscation by the opposing belliger-
ents. Contrsbsnd Of war on board Of
such vessel is, of course, subject to
confiscation, though the property Of a
neutral
Goods. not contraband, belonging
TO a neutral aboard captured vessel,
are subject 20 delay and interruption
consequent upon the seizure of the
vessel, but not to conhscation, upon
manifestation of neutral ownership
and the non-contraband character Of
the goods.
when a vessel containing cargo of
a citizen of the United States is capt
ured and is carried before prize
court, as il will be presumably, he
should give notice of his claim Of
property TO the prize court authori-
ties and be prepared to furnish proof
OF his ownership and the non-contra-
band character of his goods.

natl, Cleveland. Rochester, Albany, Buff
falo and the states of Connecticut and

Nursing divisions Of the hospital
units 20 be sent over in the chartered
ship will come from those cities and
states, and il is probable additional

committees in other sections will be
enrolled.
The Red Cross plan is TO take physi-
clans and nurses who are native born
Americans, to make sure Of absolute
neutrality.
