GERMAN CRUISER
ENTERS HARbOR
TO OBTAIN COAL
Leipzig Puts in at San Fran
cisco Without Obtaining
Permission-To Observe
Regulations Strictly.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE Ger
man cruiser Leipzig, which crept into
port before dawn today, moved into
man war row later and began to
take on coal and supplies. Contracts
already had been placed with coal,
victualing, towing and lighterage
companies by the acting German con-
sui.
Permission. in writing, however, had
not been formally requested, and as
soon as the collector OF the port
learned that coaling had begun with
out his authority, he ordered 1t
stopped Immediately. until the for
malities had been complied with.
The acting German consul pro-
tested, but the collector was firm. In
spector Bulger. he said, would exam
inc the cruisers bunkers, report how
much coal she needed to take her to
Apia, and that much and no more
would be permitted her in the due
course of the regulations. The Leip-
zig had placed an order for 700 tons.
Under the neutrality regulations
the Leipzig can take on only suffi-
cient coal to carry her to the near
est German port, in this case Apia.
Samoa. She must leave before
o'clock tomorrow morning and she
cannot return within three months to
any American port unless in the
meantime she shall have touched at
a German port.
Montcalm Remains Outside.
Lurking in the fog bank off the
F'arallones is supposed to be the
French armored cruiser Montcalm, a
vessel superior in everything but
speed. The Leipzig was built to make
90 knots and the Montcalm 21. The
Leipzig is of only $3.50 tons displace-
ment and the Montcalm of 1867. The
latter carries main battery of two
7.6-inch guns fore and aft, with
broadsides of four 64-inch rifles
each The Leipzig has 10 4.1-inch
guns. mounted two forward, two aft,
and three on each broadside in spon-
sons.
Supposedly. however, the Leipzig
will be in touch with the Nurnberg,
cruiser Of the same GLASS; as soon
as she gets outside the three-mile
limit.
In San Diego lies the Japanese
cruiser Idzumo. which carries heavier
metal than any foreign warship in
these waters. But in spite of the ul-
timatum which Japan has served on
Germany, Japan is not yet belli-
gerent nation.

OF FRENCH
AV|ATORS IS SHOWN

Paris, Aug. 17.-The following story
illustrating the GOODNESS of French
aviators is being recited In Paris to-
day.
While flying over Alsace an aviator
was obliged on account of lack of gaso-
line, to land in an Alsatian village.
While he was filling his tank he was
surprised by a strong German patrol.
Unmindful OF the presence of the
enemy. the Frenchman continued to
replenish his supply of fuel. The Ger
mans were taken aback and fearing a
trap, they halted nearby without fir
ing.
When his tank was replenished the
aviator resumed his flight. The Ger
mans then perceived that they had
been hoodwinked. They fired at the
aeroplane but without result.
