quires an armed vessel of a belligerent
nation to remain in port not longer

The status of the Adriatic will be
determined by the special board of
neutrality of the State and Navy De
partmentS.

for protection and that the steamer
would leave New York September 3.

WAR SCENES DEPICTED
BY AMERICAN WOMAN
Mrs. O. M. James, Wife of Senator,

Mrs Ollie VI. James. wife Of Ken

markable European experiences which
have fallen to the lot of any woman re-
Gently abroad. Grim and sorrowful
aspects of the great war were revealed to

Finally, however, the Olympic. whose

last Saturday morning.
Others Not So Lucky.
Our experience was commonplace
compared with that of many other
Americans. Quite a number of the
passengers on our ship were de-
liberately turned out of their auto
mobiles in Germany and the auto
mobiles conf1scated. One man told me
that they took his automobile, and
would not even given him a receipt
for 1t, and it is probably rendering
good service to the soldiers of the
empire.

NEW CENSORSHIP PLAN
FOR GERMAN WIRELESS
Code Messages Must Be Ineligible
to United States Representa-
tive at Stations.

New instructions covering the CEN
sorship at German-owned wireless sta
tons, for the enforcement of neutral
ity toward belligerent countries. are
soon to be issued by the Navy De-
partment. which are understood to
have been virtually accepted by Ger
many.
Formal announcement Of this plan
awaits conferences between Secretary
Bryan and the German ambassador,
Count Won Bernstorff. which are ex-
pected to be held tomorrow.
Though the foreign office at Berlin
has suggested some slight notifications
the suggestion made by the Washington
government two weeks ago in the main
has been approved.
The plan permits the German embassy
as well as the diplomatic representa-
lives of all other belligerents to send
code messages by wireless but Ameri-
can naval officers at all stations must
be taken into the confidence of the
senders to establish the neutral nature
of communications.

Situation Is Grave.

LONDON, August 31.-The Post to-
day editorially calls attention to a
statement issued by the French en-
bassy as indicating that the allied
forces have again been compelled to
fall back before the German advance
in the neighborhood of La Fere which
is over twenty miles nearer to Paris
than the Cambrai-Le Cateau line,
where the allies reorganized after the
Germans crossed the French border
Fighting is also reported in the VI
cinity of Amiens-
La Fere is only n little more than
sixty miles from Paris as the crow
flies The Post says.
a statement issued by the French
embassy discloses a situation of much
gravity. A German army was, on Sat
urday. attacking from the east the line
on Launois- Signy-r Abhaye, while an
other German army was attacking
from the west the line from La Fere to
Guisc and though unsuccessful at Guise
was making progress at La Fere.
These two German armies were,
therefore, only forty miles apart.
THE German army attacking on the
front at Guise and La Fere has clear
country behind it and sharp ofen-
sive turning movement on the south :
east by this morning will interpose 1t
between the French and Paris.

No Code at Present.

At present no code messages are ac-
copied, the object of the American gov
eminent being to prevent it's territory
from being used as base for the trans
mission of military or naval informa-
ton.
Under the new arrangement, which is
expected to go into effect IN Few days.
the American censor would be given a
copy of the code and the original mes
sage, and if satisfied that no violation
Of neutrality was involved the message
might be transmitted in cipher and
reach it's destination without being read
generally by ships of other bellgerents.
Germany was the leading protestant
against the present arrangement, claim
ing that while her cables had been sew
cred Great Britain had unrestricted
cable communication from the United
States.
Abandons Gable Censor Plan.
The American government at first
planned to censor the cables, but aban-
doned the idea not only because Of
legal difficulties. but other insurmount-
situation by enabling Germany to Sc
cure some other satisfactory means OF
communication with her embassy here.
While the subject has been in diplo-
matte discussion the State Department
has transmitted in cipher through Lon
don all the messages of the German em-
baSsy here to the foreign office at Ber-
lin, only messages of a distinctly neu-
trail character, however, being accepted
for transmission.
