GERMAN SHIP OFF
WITH 10000 TONS
OF COAL ABOARD
British Protest ignored Bran
denburg Gets Clearance Pa
pers "for Bergen, Norway"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-Loaded
to the limit with coal and wood sup
plies, the North German Lloyd steam
ship Brandenburg is steaming down
the Delaware river, bound for Bergen,
Norway. This Is the destination given
in the clearance papers, and the cap
tain says the journey will require
about two months.
Despite the protests of the British
ambassador In Washington, who de-
clared that the Brandenburg is an
auxiliary cruiser of the German navy,
local customs authorities gave her
clearance papers.
Naval men believe the vessel may
proceed slowly down the Delaware
river, and when she reaches the At
lantic ocean, 100 miles away, hug the
three-mile limit until a favorable OPP
portunity presents itself for dash
seward. The Brandenburg is slow,
and her only chance for safety lies in
protection by German cruisers.
When the Brandenburg sailed her
appearance changed so that old
mariners failed to recognize her as
the same vessel. Her buff -colored
tunnels had been painted black and
paint had altered the appearance OF
her hull In her hold were $500 tons
of coal, an additional 1000 In her
bunkers. and between decks were
stored $500 tons of supplies, said to
be mostly foodstuffs.
Luxuriously appointed staterooms
were loaded to their fullest capacity
with coal, and the air of merchant
man and passenger boat which she
formWly possessed was gone.
1t is said that prior to the departure
of the vessel, Captain Schmetz was
superseded in command by Captain
Dietrich, on orders from Berlin. Cap
tain Dietrich is attached to the Ger
man navy auxiliary. He commanded
a Japanese warship during the Russo
japanese war and took part in the
siege of Vladivostock.
AS soon as the Brandenburg started
down the river, Admiral Craddock
commanding the British North Allan
tic fleet, was notified by wireless. The
course Of his flagship. the Berwick
was changed from off Nantucket and
she was headed toward Delaware bay
1t is said that the British armored
cruisers Suffolk, Lancaster, Good
Hope, King Alfred and Niobe were
also notified of the Brandenburg's de-
parture.
If, as is believed in shipping circles
the Brandenburg Is on a. mission OF
relief for the German cruisers Dres-
! den, Karlsruhe, Strassburg and Kron.
prinz Wilhelm, which are said to be II
these waters, interesting develop
ments are looted for on the Jersey
coast.

W|RELESS-CAbLE
SNARL'S SOLUTION
German Charge and Bryan to
Discuss Plan That Seems
Feasible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Adminis-
tration officials believed today that
they had found an equitable solution
of the wireless-cable controversy
which has thus far furnished the most
yexed question of neutrality for the
American governments consideration.
Haniel Von< Haimhausen. charge
d'affaires of the Germany embassy,
has an engagement for a conference
today with Secretary Bryan. at which
the plan drafted by officials OF the
Washington government was to be
submitted to him.
The suggestion, which has been ad-
vanced after q careful examination of
the legal aspects of the case at the
department of justice and interna-
tional law phases at the state depart
ment, Is that no censorship be Inn
posed on the cables. but that a modi-
fed form of supervision be exercised
over wireless stations.
Under the instructions to naval off,
GERS placed in charge Of the wireless
stations following President Wilson's
executive order, no code messages of
any kind were permitted to go to for
eign countries. The new arrangement
would permit code messages to be
sent,N but after the American naval
office in charge had been satisfied in
some way yet to be determined of the
neutral nature of the information
transmitted
1t was predicted here today that
the German government would not
object to the new plan and that 1t
would be adopted, but official infor-
nation on the subject was lacking,
If accepted, the proposed method
would give German embassy officials
and consuls an opportunity to COM
municate directly with Germany, and
1t has been suggested might bring
from Berlin more official news of the
progress of the war from the German
viewpoint.

GIRL REFUGEES
TELL OF FLIGHT
Heard Roar of Guns at liege.
Praises Courtesy of German
Officiaidom.
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The following
story of the flight of three American
girls from the German war zone was
received by the London bureau of
the United Press today in a letter
from Carl Viegand, Berlin corre-
spond of the United Press:
Three American girls, the Misses
Marion Park and Katheryn Lord, of
Boston, and Miss Ida Langdon. of
Elmira, went through the thick of
the war zone. Their stories, as told,
were full of praise for the courtesy
of German offlcialdom, civil and mill
tary, in the first trying days of the
war.
I'VE were in the Bavarian Alps
when we learned war was immi-
nent," said Miss Park. I'VE started
for London by way of Cologne at
once. Everywhere the greatest ac-
tivity was apparent, and the popula-
ton was feyerish with excitement.
From Cologne we reached the little
village of Volhane. The mobiliza-
ton orders came, and all trains were
turned over to the military. We had
to disembark. There was no hotel,
so we met a peasant, who had little
home, and he took us in. The next
morning we walked down the road to
the railroad junction, and met what
seemed 20 us to be the entire Ger
man army advancing on Belgium.
That night we began to hear the
roar of cannons, when the Germans
opened their attack on Liege. The
roar continued all through the night.
When there was a cessation the very
stiffness after such a din was indie
scribably impressive. We felt We
were in the path of war. Liege was
only a few miles distant. We were
in touch with the soldiers constantly.
On the very first day we were as
sured that we would not be delayed.
They all seemed confident there
would be no resistance from Bel
GUM.
1--WE are only marching through
Belgium one soldier told me-"

Color Wing of Army Moth to
Learn How Quickly 1t Spreads

WASHINGTON, August 22.-"Keep
a sharp watchout for army worm
moths with one artiflcially colored
wing" is the advice of the depart
ment of agriculture to those interest
ed In the destruction of the pest
which has caused considerable dam
age to crops and lawns this summer
in the northeast of the Mississippi
river.
In furtherance of its campaign to
control the spread of army worm
moths, the departments entomolo-
gists are conducting a novel expert
ment to obtain q better knowledge OF
their habits. Where they are plenti-
full, one wing of each moth is colored
and then liberated, so as to determine
whether they fly directly west or
north and how quickly. and how far
they will spread. Destruction of all
marked specimens Is urged.

TAX LEVY upon
CAPTURED CITIES
MAY Be LEGAL
Article 40, of Hague Treaty,
Sanctions Mulcting for Ger
tain Purposes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Until
the exact conditions are known under
which. a $40,00000O war tax Is to be
levied upon Brussels and $10,O00,0OO
upon Liege by the German captors,
1t is not regarded as possible by the
international law experts here to
pass finally upon the legality of that
method of warfare.
The practice of levying such taxes
upon conquered communities. which
was quite common in most wars up
to and including the Napoleonic era,
has since that time fallen into desue-
tude and no trace of such exactions
are to be found in the history of the
Civil War in America, the Turco-
Russian War, the Franco-Prussian
War or the Russo-Japanese wars.
The Hague conference at its Sec
ond meeting showed distinct opposi-
ton to such collections, but when 1t
came to reducing that sentiment to
the form of treaties the subject was
treated rather vaguely and mainly
with the purpose of safeguarding in
dividual property. Generally, 1t ap-
peared that there was no prohibition
in terms upon local or municipal gov
ernments, precisely as in the case of
the indemnities exacted from national
governments at the end OF hostilities.
The only reference to the subject in
The Hague conventions is found in
the regulations respecting the laws
and customs Of wars on land Ar
ticle As declares that private prop
erty cannot be confiscated;' the sue
mi
formally forbidden" Article 40 pro-
vides that levies of money contribu-
tions shall be only for the needs of
the army or the administration. of the
territory, and article SO prohibits the
army of occupation from taking any
thing more than cash funds or
realizable securities which are strict
ly the property of the state"
1t is thought here that if the Ger
mans have levied the tax as report
ed it must have been under authority
conferred by article 49, ''for the needs
of the army or of the administration
of the territory"
LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Germans
have demanded war tax of 100000 900
from Brussels and S10,000,000 from
Liege.
The Brussels treasurer says: mo
possible coercive measures will give
them even a fraction Of that sum-"
The kaiser's levy on Brussels, made
by the general commanding the
troops, means $55 a head for every
man, woman, boy and girl in the city.
That is an average of nearly $3.50 from
every family in the country.
The inhabitants Of Lege have been
informed by proclamation by the
burgomaster that the German mill
tary governor has imposed war levy
of $40 ,010, 900, the sum to be collected
by the civil authorities.
All the London papers denounce the
German attempt to levy SAC, 100000 in
Brussels, which would work out at
about sos Der capita for the popula-
ton.
The papers declare that such an as
sessment is opposed to all the ideas of
modern warfare and is worthy of the
robber barons of the Middle Ages. 1t
is supposed the demand was accom-
panied by threats to destroy the beau
tiful public buildings Of the town, the
newspapers say.

PATENTS AUTOMOBILE VALVE.
Geo. Mizener Has Applied for Patent
on Automobile Valve Which Bids
Fair to be Great Success.

For some time past Geo. Mizener
has been spending some of his spare
time on inventing different mechan-
ical devices. His most recent inven-
ton is an automobile valve, which
will fit any automobile tire made. II
is simple looking article but does
the business. Hot weather is hard
on tires, and this valve is solution
for the trouble auto drivers encount-
err. Take for instance a 34x34 tire
is supposed to carry 80 pounds pres
sure. On hot day there is danger
of the tires blowing out, but with Mr..
Mizener's invention the danger is en-
tirely eliminated, as the tire will blow
off all surplus heat, etc. Here is
hoping George makes a million on
the invention.
