GERMAN WARSHIPS
TO LOOK ELSEWHERE
FOR THEIR SUPPLIES
Exposure of Destination OF
Steamships Fran and
Sommerstand Cancels Sail
ings-Captains Tell Their
Suspicious.

German warshps in South American
and West Indian waters which have been
coaled and provisoned by vessels out
of this port will have to seek other
sources for supplies. The dictograph
exposure of the destinations Of the Nor
wegian steamships Fran and Sommer-
stad, now at anchor in the Delaware
River, has disclosed the system whlch
made the violation Of neutrality POSI-
bic. Owners agents and others arc
now rushing to cover The expose was
due to the efforts of Christian Moe,
Norwegian Consul at this port, and
Ralph NJ. Bullowa, a Now York attorney.
1t was in Mr.. Bulowa's office the dc
tograph was installed, prior to con-
ference between the masters OF the Ves-
sells representatives OF the Hamburg
American Line and officials of the Inter-
American Company Mr.. Bulowa de-
clares that the lnter-American com
pany had chartered the vessels and then
rechartered them to the Hamburg
American Company. This Is denied py
julius L. Meyer, director OF the latter
company, who asserts that his company
has chartered vessels at various times
to supply ships of the line, but never
German cruisers.
Upon the advice OF Mr.. Moe, Captain
Axelsen, OF the Sommerstad, and Cap
tain Grtnhelm, OF tne fTan, COllSulleu
Mr.. Bullowa, after notifying their own
ers, the A. f. Klaverness Sc CO., of
Haugesend, Norway, and II. NJ. Wrangell
& Co., of Chrstlania, Norway.
CONSUL GETS SUSPICIOUS.
Consul Noes suspicion was first aroused
by Captain Axelsen and Captain Grinheim
They told him they were to sail under
sealed orders and things didn't look just
right" They said that they were in duty
bound to the steamship owners to carry
the cargoes to their destinations, but they
did not believe the owners knew anything
about the shipment of supplies to Ger
man warships.
A few days later the captains told Mr..
Moe that agents of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Line had sent them offers of big
bonuses for immediate sailings. This was
during the time the masters of the steam
ships were awaiting advice from home.
The advice came and told them to con-
suit an attorney. Then the conference
with the dictograph as witness was ar
ranged.
Nothing could be learned of the trans
action at the office of William j. Grand
field and Company, 30S Walnut street, to-
day They are the local agents for the
steamships. They declined to give the
name or names of the persons for whom
they were acting and further refused to
affirm or deny that they knew the car
goes were meant for German cruisers.

1--WE will not discuss the transaction IN
anyway" was all that was said.
The sommerstad and Fran are two or
six vessels with similar cargoes on board
clared from this port by Grandheld
e Co The first one was the Heins,
which left on August ostensibIy for Ia
Guayra. It was reported that She had
been captured in the act Of delivering
her cargo to a German warship. The
Nepos sailed on August %. the John bud-
wig Nowinckel on September 2 and the
t,nita on September g. on their clearance
papers their destinations were given as
Spanish or Brazilian ports.
CARRIED COFFEE FOR BRAZIL.
Like carrying Goals to Newcastle" was
the carrying OF coffee to Brazil by these
steamships Another suspicious incident
was the large supply OF fresh water
taken on board. These aroused the Nor
weglan shippers fears. They did not
care to risk imprisonment in English or
French prisons. but both emphatically
declared they feared most for the prop
erty OF their employers. Difficulty was
experienced in getting crews for these
vessels, despite the fact that hundreds
Of sailors are out Of employment.
Arrangements are now being made for
the discharge Of the cargocs OF the Fran
and Sommerstad, and in a few days
$4,000 worth OF coal and ship supplies
which were scheduled for German war;
ships will be dumped back on one OF the
piers and later delivered to the con-
sgnors

GERMANS FORM NEW LINES
TO STEM SlLESlAN INVASION
Kaiser Reported in Direction of East
Prussian Operations.
PETRoGRAD. Sept. 2s.

PETROGRAD. Sept. 2S
The War Office reports retreat of the
German forces that invaded Russian Po.
land. This Is attributed to news of the
continued success of the Russians in
Gallcia. 1t Is expected that the retiring
Germans will be drawn back to strengthen
the Kalisz-Cracow line with the purpose
of withstanding the Russian march on
Silcsia. The retreating Germans are be-
Ing pursued by General Rennenkampf s
forces, strengthened by the garrsons from
Kovno and Wilma. They engaged the re-
treating Germans at Sopockine and Drus-
skenlkI, in the suwalkl district, and in
ficted heavy losses
General Rennenkampf reports that the
German soldiers whom he has been OPP
posing are field corps, probably brought
from the western theatre of war and
replaced there by reserves lie says that
reliable reports have reached him that
Empror william himself is directing the
operations against the Russians.
tFormer reports have had the German
emperor at headquarters in Luxembourg,
and 1t Is believed In Paris that he Is
directing the battle of the Aisne Be-
cause of the strict censorship at Berlin
1t Is impossible to learn of his exact
whereabouts, though the official reports
there aave intimated he was in the west
ern war theatre)
General kennenkampf adds in his re-
port that the Germans have attempted 20
capture Ossowiec (southeast of ByclS),
but that they were unable to bring up
their big guns.
The German forces crossed the border
at four points" he says. "They showed
their chief strength at Kalisz, where they
occupied the Warta district, but this Sec
ton OF their army suffered heavily at
Sieradz southeast of Kaisz).
Two other forces advanced to Mlawa
and Lomza, but the latter suffered
severe check
The fourth advanced by way of Su-
walki toward the Niemen. There they
suffered heavily from our artillery fire,
which shattered their attempt to ad-
vance. The general retreat of these
forces. which far outnumbered ours, in
dicates that they are being withdrawn
to another spot where they are urgently
needed"
While necessarily all plans are closely
guarded, the declaration is freely made
here that the Russians will have entered
Berlin by the first of January next. The
entire Russian active army Is being
moved. That part not required for the
present operations is being placed in
strategic locations where 1t can be used
to fill the gaps in the active ranks as
needed.

was said that the ship did not leave
Haiti until September 10 and is expected
to dock today at Hampton Roads.
