English Say Germans
Are Seeking Friends
By Assoeiated Press

London, Aug. 25, A. M.-The
Times, to-day discussing at length the
German treatment of Americans who
We're stranded in Germany at the
opening of the war says:
There are many indications that
Germany still hopes to find friends
among neutral nations. The most
strenuous efforts in this direction were
reserved for the u. S. as represented
by Americans stranded within Ger
many's borders.
so soon as the panic which fol-
lowed the outbreak of the war had
subsided elaborate orders were issued
that every courtesy be shown Ameri-
cans. All this week special trains
have been running for their benefit
from Munich, Frankfort and other
centers to Rotterdam and Flushing.

FALL OF BELGIAN
CITY AND 5 FORTS


bert, Audoye, Suarlee and Cognelee,
while the connecting forts of less
strength are Dave, Maizeret, Malone,
Marchevolette and Emines.
All are protected by hardened
steel domes, generally eight of them
in each fort, and the artillery, con-
sisting of modern heavy disappearing
guns is very powerful.
L-ldon, Aug. 25, SIS A M.-Com-
menting on the fall of Namur before
the Germans, the Times says it Is one
of those inexplicable events which
makes war the gamble that it is. That
Namur should have fallen In two days
will require deal of explanation, the
Times adds.
Commenting on the loss of the Bel
gian stronghold the Chronicle says:
THE newseto-day is decidedly bad"
adding that II the allies losses have
been heavy I'VE may yet see the Ger
mans marching earnest upon Paris
Namur is a fortress of great strength
which its defenders could possibly
hold several months. We do not i'm
agine that it was taken by a rush.
More probably a breach made else
where in the line of the allies imposed
on them the alternative of leaving a
large force to be invested in Namur
or withdrawing from it altogether.
Germans Powerful
THE blunt fact remains that in a
really first class battle the French
troops occupying a secluded position
of singular strength were driven out
by the Germans after not more than
two days fighting. This speaks vol
umes for the power of the German at
tack.
England and Russia must stub
bornly resolve that come what may
to France, they will never surrender
to Germany, but will stick to her as
they stuck to Napoleon until they put
her down. AS long as weA hold the
sea we cannot ourselves be vitality
struck"
The Times military expert says it is
too early to say that the line of the
Meuse south of Mezieres must be
abandoned, but the outlook is not ia
vorable and the development of the
situation in the next few days will be
watched with legitimate anxiety. He
continues:
There are reports that the towns
people and even the garrison of Ma
mur were less we'll disposed than the
men of Liege to offer a strenuous re-
sistance and so bring upon their town
the punishment meted out by Ger
mans to Liege. There is undoubtedly
some slight feeling among Belgians
that they have not been adequately
supported by the allies and that they
have borne the whole brunt of the
war in the north, but we cannot be-
lieve that the Belgians did less than
their duty and we expect to hear that
they were attacked by overpowering
numbers.
Position Was Vital
"The possession of Namur was vi
tai for Germany and it was a fine
stroke for the Germans to have rush
ed the place under the eyes of the
allied armies. We still hope and be-
lieve that our counter offensive in
the north is only postponed and not
abandoned"
Reviewing the general situation, the
Times military expert points out that

REAssuRING no CHESTNUT LOVERS.

NE ANY chestnut trees in Delaware are affected by
III blight There are also indications that the crop Of
this fall viii be larger Those two facts have
related interest the nutlovng public in view of the
fact that in October 1913. large number Of news
papers contained reports that chesnuts collected from
affected with the blight had poisonous properties
and were producing of disease and death These
cases were reported from the vicinity Of Hartford
Conn. from both western and Massachusetts,
and one case each from New Hampshire and New Jer-
sey. One item was to the effect that in Framing
ham, Wesboro and the surrounding towns of eastern
Massachusetts, there epidemic resulting from
eating these chestnuts report from western Massa-
chusetts stated that gray squirrels dying, pre-
sumaby eating chestnut from these bghied trees
Several scientists connected with the Department of
Agriculture detailed to make examination of
the cases reported from Hartford and vicinity Their
report appears in recent issue Of The Journal Of
the American Medical Association.
Careful investigation and long series of laboratory
experiments on animals have proven conclusiyely that
terious properties than those healthy trees and
the symptoms which had been supposed TO be connected
with blighted could in almost all be
explained as symptoms which would be produced by
fcolthy chestnuts in persons. Laboratory exper-
ments feeding the wholesome fruit in the of
tracts and in chemical examinations failed to show
any poisonous properties in the nuts.
While the results OF the Investigations mega

FISH POUNDS DELIGHT
REHOBOTH VISITORS

An interesting sight to summer
visitors TO Rehoboth Beach are the
three big fish pounds where hundreds
of fish are caught in the summer and
shipped to the big markets. This is
one of the most enterprising and sue
cessful business operations conducted
at RehobOth Beach. The fish pounds
are three in number and are known
as the "heartshape pounds" They
are made of nets and are located
from a half mile to two miles from
shore. Each pound has a leader line
a thousand feet long and thirty-fve
feet deep running about a mile out
at right angles, to the shore. Fish
coming in contact with this net, swim
at once out TO sea and then strike the
real net, made in the form of a sack
at the end of the lead net. This leads
into a funnel entrance. which then
leads into the heart-shaped pound.
where the fish find il impossible to
get out. At slack water the fish are
baled out by the fishing crews, each
boat having seven men Frequently
$1,000 and 81 800 hauls are made in
day. The three nets are worth
about $4,000. and every two weeks
are overhauled thoroughly and tarred
while others are used in their places.

A WORD no INCOME TAX DODGERs.

VA7E have warned those in Delaware who seek
w ing to evade the income tax and who have fail
ed to make proper returns under the new law that
they running serious risk and that subsequently
they may be called upon to pay heavy penalties tAe
evasion That the income tax law is unpopular with
thousands of persons who are subject to taxation
under its provisions cannot be denied IL should be
remembered however that It is the law Of the land
and that It should be obeyed though grudggy by
all whom it affects. The Federal G0yernment has
far-reaching inquisitoria powers under the Income
Tax law and agents who have the ability to obtain
facts. Nor should il be forgotten that decision has
been reached TO place at the disposal of those whose
duty II is TO collect that tax all the needed resources
of the government to round up the tax dodgers and
bring them TO account Commenting upon the fact that
the income tax dodge is abroad in the land the Wash
ington Post says ediorally
The income tax returns indicate that s24,27sOOO,
approximately sx-sevenths Of the entire amount col
lected, S2S,3O6OOO, from twelve of the states
which have large cities and $4O27 600 from the other
SO States and two territories
The twelve states which produced the six-sevenths
OF the total tax were Massachusetts, New York New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Missouri and California These
twelve States. with less than half of the countrys pop
ulaon paid six-sevenths OF the tax Their per capita
for the tax about so cents, while the per capita
paid in the other 80 States and the two territories
only about cents In the great and prosperous State
OF Kansas where automobiles blossom ON the sunfow
and TO be had for the plhckng the tax paid
less than cents per capita
When It written that the people OF Kansas were
making only one-siXteenh as much income subject TO
the income law the people of the twelve States
mentioned above? And who will believe that there are
only one-sixteenth many prosperous men I'm that
country where bumper crops are said to be humping
the calamity train off the track there are among the
people who constitute the population of the twelve
leading States?
Il seems that the tax dodeer is abroad in some Of
those States that most Qutspoken in favor of the
imposition OF such n tax And when the Treasury De-
partment gets out its dragnet and goes after the dodg
certainly there will not be lack Of straws to tell
them which way the income wind has been blowing.
Looking at the matter in essentially local sense IL
would to be the part of wisdom for those Della
wareans who are required by law to make returns or
to make returns and pay a tax to time per-
forming their legal obligations rather than wait until
the government applies to them the agencies of in
QUESTION, compulsion and punishment
